it's mailbag time. Everyone's favorite show. Maybe unofficially everyone's favorite show. We're all wearing blue. How about that? Adam Azer, Jamie Eisenberg, and Dan Schneier. I've never seen Jamie wear that shirt. I feel like it's a new shirt. It's a cool shirt. This one? Shiny. The Gator look. A few months old. A few months old.

Okay. Should I roll up my sleeves like Dan? I roll up my sleeves all the way up. You're not rolled up sleeves. Look at your bicep. Yeah, that's because I work out. What do you want from me? Look at your right sleeve. It's rolled up. No, it way up. You're not rolled up sleeves. This is a regular. Look at your bicep. Yeah, that's because I work out. What do you want from me? No, look at your right. Your right sleeve is rolled up. No, it's not.

It is rolled up. It's a little rolled up. How is your Thanksgiving, Dan? I went to the gym. Yada, yada, yada. My shirt got rolled up. Can't see anything. Go on YouTube.

You'll know. This is an exaggeration to the max. The YouTube was. No, this shirt is not old, Zach. This is a new shirt. This is a couple years old. thing go on youtube you'll know what this is an exaggeration to the max uh the youtube was no this shirt is not old zach this is a new shirt or this is a couple years old um the thanksgiving was great the only thing that sucked about it was for the first year in a while and i don't really know why it didn't happen but we didn't do our thanksgiving family football game now it's a two-hand touch game that has led to multiple injuries throughout the years um should not be being played by whatsoever but it's still fun and i still enjoyed it i still look forward to it every

year and i wouldn't even get to play a lot yet yesterday so it was a little disappointing from that standpoint the food was good cool listen uh you're out of the you're out of the dynasty league no you're gone fake burger you are gone we're all going to go but you're out sorry it was jamie's call no shot no shot you can't have the commissioner setting lineups for you i didn't you are gone. We're actually going to go out there. You're out. Sorry. It was Jamie's call. No shot. No shot. You can't have the commissioner setting lineups for you. I didn't have him setting lineups. I set my lineup this week. You did? Yeah. And then, unfortunately,

it was Thanksgiving, and I saw someone injured in there that could have gotten out for Durham Smythe. That matters. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. And per the rules, I've done nothing wrong. I put Mike White in lineup. He's active. He's active on game days. I'm sure the guy in last place is doing the same thing. No, I've had to change.

How many times have I had to change your lineup? Three times at least. I don't know. I'm not counting. You seem to be counting a tracker on me. You started a guy in the hospital. I'm playing. Who?

Luke Musgrave. Don't put that. Don't put that. Dan kicked out of Big Burger League thing in there. I am not kicked out of the Big Burger League. I don't know. The commissioner is having to set your lineup. There are league leagues that are unhappy about that.

I'm going to get the second overall pick, and I already have a second first-round pick. Those will be mine. I will be making those picks. I will be boycotting this. I will be appealing this, and this is not the last you've heard of me. The league is unhappy with the commissioner having to set your lineup.

He hasn't. I set my own lineup this week. Oh, sorry. I didn't get Luke Musgrave out in time on Thanksgiving because Durham Smythe would have made such a difference. The rule is you cannot start any inactive players, and you started Luke Musgrave. He's on IR.

He's on IR. No, I didn't. It was Thanksgiving Day, Adam. I changed my lineup on Monday. I was trying to do my best here. Okay. I was getting in everybody else. You had Tuesday and Wednesday to set your lineup.

There's no excuse for not setting a lineup. There's no excuse. It was Thanksgiving for all of us. There is no excuse for not setting a lineup. I agree with that. I have made mistakes. He agrees. That doesn't mean.

And I said it. I am taking accountability, Kevin. I've made mistakes. All right, Kevin and it. I am taking accountability. Kevin, I've made mistakes. All right, Kevin and mommy, I have made mistakes. I think,

I think given the accountability, I apologize for it. I set my line up early this week on Thanksgiving day. I forgot to check back because guess what? I was doing a lot of things. Oh, you were the guy. You were the guy doing a lot of things on Thanksgiving.

Oh, the one person. I think, I think given the nature of this league, we lot of things on Thanksgiving. Oh, the one person. I think given the nature of this league, we should auction off Dan's spot. No. No, his team is too set up well for the future. No, I disagree. Yeah, for somebody else.

No, I'm setting my line up for this one. I'm sorry I made some mistakes. He didn't set my line up that many times. Beginning of the year, I set it the entire time. Three times? And after being called out for it, left no i didn't you were doing too many things well he says no i didn't do it i meant to take him out that's different than actually taking him out though you know i made another mistake who cares oh sorry derm smith's not in the lineup god forbid my only other tight end is derm smith can we go back through and all the

fantasy cops where dan is kicking people out? Yep. Dan, the fantasy cop would not be, you need to be warned before you get kicked out of something. You were warned. I was never warned. All right, fine. You can stay in,

but, uh, Luke, no, I, you can put me on secret. Super. If we get over 20 grand for your spot,

you're going to put me on super secret probation. I'll take that double secret probation. If you get, we get over 20 grand for your spot, you're out. That's fair. If it goes, honestly we get over 20 grand for your spot, you're out. That's fair. If it goes to St. Jude, I'm out. Honestly, if it goes to St. Jude, that's fine.

All right. News and notes. We'll start with the Giants, of course. Darius Slayton and Dexter. I was doing other things. I was doing other things on Thanksgiving. It was Thanksgiving Day. We actually have a fantasy cops that's sort of about this.

What are the rules, by the way? Can I be starting people who are active? It's just somebody who's injured, right because i see other people doing yeah you can start you can start inactive players like mike white no no no no you cannot start inactive players you can start backup quarter no he's active that's fine i don't care i don't give a crap about mike white for the last like you keep talking about mike white i don't care he's not part of this discussion it's luke busgrave who's the problem here, okay? It's amazing that we are

12 weeks into the season. The commissioner has not laid out specific rules for how this should go. I said you have to. I did. You have to start active players. Jamie, the more I think about it, this is actually the commissioner's fault. This is everyone else's fault. If you really think about it. This is your fault. Everyone else knows this rule.

Alright, anyway. There's been multiple rule violations. I have not been the first. really think about it is your fault all right everyone else knows this rule all right anyway yes they there's been multiple rule violations i have not been the first thomas had a rule violation thomas are you thomas is not on today's show i can't wait to talk to thomas he's not even here i can't wait to talk to thomas about it he had a rule violation earlier this year that you went completely unnoticed and he's like oops i forgot i did he had the two prac he did the same thing i did with the practice squad thing because no one knew what was going on with the practice squad. Okay?

That was on you, Adam. Oh, was it on me? It was actually on both of you. I made those rules very clear, extremely clear. You guys don't read the rules. Thomas actually had another violation yesterday. I had to fix it. Oh, wow.

So somebody else has a violation. There's multiple violations, and the rules are not doing... This is a commissioner problem. When two people in a league have violations, no one knows what the rules are. He had an illegal lineup. Even the freaking website told him he had an illegal lineup,

and he still didn't fix it. I've never at least broken the website rules. Because it was Thanksgiving, and he was doing stuff. Yeah. Here are your news and notes. For good terms, Spife doesn't make my lineup this week

alright can we stop news and notes Darius Slayton and Dexter Lawrence could be game time decisions if Dexter Lawrence doesn't play if you're starting the Giants DST that might not be a good thing Levante David and Jamel Dean are out Levante David linebacker Jamel Dean

cornerback out for the Bucs and another linebacker Devin White may may not play. Buffalo, I mentioned all week, they had three players in their secondary banged up. Two of them are out. Teron Johnson is going to play. But Dane Jackson and Taylor Rapp are out

for that game at Philly. Michael Wilson is out, Jamie, for Arizona. So give me your thoughts now on the Cardinals' wide receivers. I think Greg Dortch is a decent flyer. We saw that last week, six catches. He was heavily involved from Kyler Murray. That's kind of been the norm for Greg Dortch

over the last couple of years. When somebody's been missing, he's had the opportunity to step up, and at times he has. And so deep league option, for sure. Take a look. Okay. Would you start Rondell Moore or Greg Dortch

after what happened last week? I still would lean toward Moore, but, you know, can you check? Was Dortch playing more in the slot last week? No, they basically were the same. Both played a lot in the slot. I'll still lean toward Rondell, but Dortch is not bad. All right. YouTube.com slash fantasy football today.

That's where you can watch our shows. That's where you can. This comment is absurd. That would be a terrible mobster. The moment you got questioned, he would rat everyone out. LOL. Thomas did this and he did that.

That's so funny. But he's like, Oh, I'm from New Jersey. I watched the Sopranos. It'd be a great mobster. I love Italian food. You actually got that out before I could.

So I don't even have to say anything. Exactly. I was Italian food. You actually got that out before I could. So I don't even have to say exactly what I was going to say. Anyway, you can watch our show at youtube.com slash fantasy football today and join us for our live stream at 1130 AM Eastern on Sunday morning to set your lineups. Youtube.com slash fantasy football today. Now Thanksgiving week is always an interesting week for the mailbag show because we get by far the fewest questions.

People are not just people are not as into, you know, they got other things. They're doing other things. They're doing other things. It's Thanksgiving. They're not even setting their lineups, most likely. What a terrible excuse. No, I'm saying people are setting their lineups. OK, my lineup has been set.

Oh, wow. Luke Musgrave was in there instead of Durham Smythe. I just I don't know what's going to happen in that matchup now that we didn't get Durham Smythe in. You're so wrong about this issue. You were so wrong. You know what? Reset. Full reset here.

I am wrong. I apologize for not checking the lineup. Making sure Luke Musgrave got out of the lineup so I could get Durham Smythe in. For the integrity of the league, I will be better moving forward sorry sorry i'm sorry what was that boston college must have done something yeah it's unbelievable um all right anyway um let's get to our apple podcast questions like i said we don't have a ton of questions today so it could be a shorter mailbag well youtube questions yeah we'll do some YouTube questions. I'm sure those will be shaded well for me.

Great. First from Apple Podcasts. From Nikki, somewhere close to Kentucky. Let's start one here. Cooper Cup, Javante Williams, or Calvin Ridley?

Just one? Yeah. PPR. Cup if he plays. or Calvin Ridley? Just one? Yeah. PPR. Cup if he plays. Otherwise, Ridley. I'm in the same boat. If Cup plays, I can go with him, but it's closer for me with Cup versus Ridley, even if Cup plays.

All right. This one is from Zoe in Portland. It says, Dear Sam, Will, will Emmett and Matt. Well, Emmett Smith is the only Emmett I think of. Uh-huh. They're all Smiths. Okay.

It's a really Matt Smith is one of the guys from, from, uh, the new game of Thrones series. Oh God. Is it Egon Targaryen again? It's one of them. He's like

he's the brother. The Ghostbuster. The Ghostbuster Egon Targaryen. These are all Smiths. Not a great greeting. We've had better. Currently, 9-2 locked into the playoffs, but I lost Burrow and Aaron Jones. My other running backs are pretty bad.

Warren, Singletary, Moss, Foreman, Pierce. My wide receivers are Lamb, Moore, Ridley, and Downs. So he lost Burrow. He has Goff at quarterback. So he made this trade. He gives up Lamb, Goff,ff Warren and the Ravens DST Lamb, Goff, Jalen Warren and the Ravens he gets back Trevor Lawrence

and Justin Fields Cooper Cup to replace Lamb and Joe Mixon Lawrence, Fields, Cup and Mixon F well I don't know if I can give it an F Lawrence Fields, Cup, and Mixon F Really? Well, I don't know if I can give it an F

Because what if Cup does Is able to stay healthy and finish the rest of the game Lamb's the best receiver in fantasy right now He is, he is You're going to get a downgrade no matter what Goff is just as good as any of the quarterbacks he got If not better Yeah, I mean

I don't really understand why he needs two quarterbacks he got, if not better. Yeah, I mean, I don't normally understand why he needs two quarterbacks at this point. Well, Fields has a bye, and so you traded a quarterback that doesn't have a bye to get a quarterback, the best one that has a bye. I hate it. I mean, you're getting back guys who are just in bad spots. Mix in with Browning the rest of

the season. And Warren might be, who knows what the coordinator change, might be the best running back in Pittsburgh. You have a new OC as well. Could really give Warren more touches and more of a shot. Getting mixing with Browning. You're getting Lawrence. You're hoping to buy the start of the breakout.

What'd you say? This comment, Ghost of Thrones. And you're giving a Ravens DST,, which like could be nice down the stretch. Um, yeah, I'll give it a D dude. They do have tough matchups. They might be match approved.

I'll give it a D minus. All right. Thank you for not giving him an F. We appreciate that. The D minus much softer blow. Um, probably better than the greeting at the email though, uh,

from Tows Nelson, uh, PPR League three receivers trade away Jamar Chase and Jalen Waddle for DJ Moore and Mike Evans and it is a keeper league I don't know what the keeper values are but give up Chase and Waddle

for DJ Moore and Mike Evans you lose from a keeper perspective for sure I wouldn't do this and Mike Evans. You lose from a keeper perspective. For sure. I wouldn't do this. I wouldn't do this anyway. Even if you do gain from it, it's not enough to make up for the keeper loss aspect.

Right. Unless you can't keep those two guys. Yeah, right. I don't even know if I feel like it. Was DJ Moore who? Mike Evans. Evans might be on the team next year.'s gonna be on the Chiefs next year but who do we like but who do we like better rest of season Waddle and Chase or Evans and more

I'm gonna rank them Evans Chase more Waddle I might go yeah I, I don't know how much I love chase rest of the season with Browning, but I guess I could have to put him over waddle. Evans and chase feels like it's been a wash all season. Yeah. I mean, given the up and down of burrow starts the season. Yeah, for sure.

Chase had that 52 point game, but yeah, other than that, he's been, he's been disappointing for a guy who was going, you know, as high as second overall for a lot of people. You heard it here first, by the way, on that 15 mailbag, November 24 that, he's been disappointing for a guy who was going as high as second overall for a lot of people. You heard it here first, by the way, on the FFT mailbag, November 24th, 2023.

Mike Evans will be a chief. Just keep that in mind. Okay. If he's not, Dan will just blame everybody else and say he was busy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was doing things. This one's from WakeUp23. Hey, guys.

I absolutely hate when Dan or anyone else says no vetoes. There's definitely a time and a place for vetoes. I'm in a two QB league. And with all the injuries, people are getting desperate. I noticed the trade between two playoff teams, Dorian Thompson, Robinson for Hollywood Brown in a two QB league.

These players are not in the same world. Should I have vetoed this? If not, should I have vetoed this? That's the question. Not at all. They're not in the same world. You can go first, Jamie. No, that's a fair trade in a 2QB league.

Yeah, I know. Okay, first of all, wake up 23. Let me just, since you addressed me in the email, Dan or anyone else, guess what? There are multiple people who don't like vetoing, but I do understand your point. Sometimes in dire situations, maybe I changed my policy. This is not one of them. This is a two quarterback league. DTR essentially, even though we don't know if we'll start rest of the season, does have a lot of value in a two key B league, especially for a desperate team.

This trade seems completely fair to me in a two-key B-league. Yeah, it is, but there is time and place for Vito, and maybe we'll get to that in a little bit. Do you agree with that, Jamie? What was your stance on the Vito? Is there a time and a place for it? Yeah. So you both believe that Vitos are okay. It's got to be extreme, though. It's got to be like there's

terrible team, trying to help a winning team, almost collusion type scenario yeah same you know those type of things like you're quick to kick people out of leagues I would just rather veto the trade I thought that was your call no you like to kick everyone else out of the league you and he's

oh yeah yeah if you collude you're done you're done in my leagues alright we're going to take a break here and we're going to come back with the fantasy cops see we got a little preview of the fantasy cops.

It is from Brian in a city west of Daytona, Florida. Dan, you got to learn a little bit about Florida geography. What do you got for a city west of Daytona? West of St. Petersburg. Yeah, that's west. That works. Right?

Uh-huh. Fits. I think the west coast of Florida is really nice, by the way. The Tampa, St. Petersburg area, area was out there a couple years ago. Just a really cool, fun area. It's very nice. Naples, Fort Myers is amazing. Fort Myers, never been out there. Naples, yeah. Naples is where it's at.

Hi, Dan, Bob, and Tua. Dolphins quarterbacks, done. Correct. Schneier, Greasy, and Tungabailoa. I've been playing Dynasty since 2019. Are you going to be funny with that real quick? Yeah.

So when I was growing up, I loved football and I wanted to be a quarterback. So I named my screen name QBDan7, which to this day, my friends still make fun of me for. And then one day, I lost my password and just changed the name to QBDan77. So I just became QB Dan 77. And maybe this isn't that funny, actually, because I'm getting no laughs from you, too. But I haven't made fun of this for a long time. So I guess it's just an inside joke. So when does the funny part of the story?

I guess the funny part is just that I can't play quarterback and I can't throw a football well and I suck. And so I made it QB Dan 7. I hope you're doing other things. Wasn't writing this joke. You know, when you tell a joke, you look around the room and I can tell early that this wasn't one. Wait a second. QB Dan 77. Yes. Oh, okay. That is really funny. That is great. 77. I mean... Wow. All right. Anyway. That might be my worst joke ever told.

I don't have many good jokes to begin with. Okay. We get it. All right. Anyway, I've been playing Dynasty since 2019. He's still the funniest on the show. Originally. That's right. He thinks he's the funniest.

Sorry. I never said I was the funniest on the show. Let me focus. I never said I was the funniest on the show. I've been playing Dynasty since 2019. Originally with our Dynasty leagues, we allowed obvious tanking as long as you set a valid lineup. Oh, wow. What a novel idea. But as time goes on, more and more,

we ran into players in lineups who don't play because they're fringe starters or whatever. To combat this, our commissioner implemented optimum points for as the rookie draft order for the bottom six teams not making the playoffs. So no matter your

lineup, your position for rookie draft is based on optimum points for the year. No matter your record. To further punish players who don't set proper lineups, the commissioner instituted a rule that if you start a player who does not play for

whatever reason or is not projected to get points, you get a 100-point penalty added to your optimum points for worsening your draft position. Love this. In general, this is good to make people be active and set good lineups.

But let's say you're busy making Thanksgiving dinner and had every intention to set good lineups, but some Green Bay running back was put on IR and isn't playing, even though you checked on Tuesday. Now you get a 100-point penalty and might get pushed out of the top draft spot, or worse, is the commish being unfair and over-penalizing active members? Is this rule absolutely crazy and unheard of in dynasty communities?

Sorry to say so much, but it had to be read. What do you think? I love it. Well, what do you do, though? I mean, do you give this guy a pass for thanksgiving he was doing things nope 100 points it's i give the guy a pass for thanksgiving of course you do really have some have some compassion for people who are spending time with their family oh i'm sorry i'm sorry you're spending time with your family you're the guy look i'm not the only

one i'm not saying i'm the only one in america spending time with your family. You're the guy. Look, I'm not the only one. I'm not saying I'm the only one in America spending time with their family. But I am saying that, you know, if someone's doing it's Thanksgiving Day, they made this is an honest mistake, obviously, from this. Yeah, but, you know, it was Sunday and I was spending time with my family. It was Thursday night. And I know they were working. Jamie, we're working on Sunday and we were working yesterday, too, to some extent. But like Thanksgiving, give the guy a break.

I agree. I mean, look, I think. Yeah, I don't like the's Thanksgiving. Give the guy a break. I agree. I mean, look, I think, yeah, I, I don't like the penalties necessarily. And then maybe, maybe you give him a warning, maybe give him a one or two warnings and then you start the penalties.

But come on, who can, who could really cutthroat with this stuff? I never knew that Jamie was a cutthroat commissioner. I do feel like he's not, he's not in real life. I'll tell you something. He's not in real life.

He's, he's a very nice commissioner in real life, real life, Jamie, when he takes the badge off, when he takes the badge off, he's, he's not penalizing this guy in my opinion. All right. Um, I think we have one more and let's see, where's my music. Nope. It's not there. There it is. Okay. This is from Cortland Vizuso. He says, Go Birds. Better not be an Eagles. That better be a Thanksgiving thing. Definitely an Eagles thing.

Yeah, I know. I'm the commissioner of a 10-team league. Here's the situation. Team 1, 7-4 in the playoffs. Traded Team 2, 3-8 and in last place, but not-4 in the playoffs. Traded Team 2, 3-8 and in last place, but not mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. Deontay

Johnson, Marquise Brown, and Nico Collins for Justin Jefferson. The trade felt fair at the time, but dumb because the last place team was not mathematically out of the playoff race, so no veto. However, it was learned from another league member that there could have been some added incentive, like concert tickets being paid for or something in addition to the trade to get the deal done.

The league is suspecting collusion, especially with trading JJ at the deadline. As commissioner, how should I handle this? This league is very active with trades, but this one feels fishy with the suspicions that a league member raised. We want to see text messages, but the accused says he talked on the phone with this trade. Should we see the text anyway? Appreciate the show and

appreciate the help. Wait a second. Hold on. Where does the suspected concert tickets thing come from? That's the question I would have for them. Like, where did you come? Wherever you had that suspicion, wherever it came from, follow that lead. That's the lead you need to follow right now.

And you got to get on the path like a detective. See what's going down here. If there were concert tickets, if there was somebody paid for someone's concert ticket, and then part of that was, you know, we'll do this. I'll do this trade. You know, because you see sometimes in these leads, people are like, I don't really want to do this trade. What if I offer you a free concert ticket leagues, people are like, I don't really want to do this trade. What if I offer you a free concert ticket?

And then it will happen. That's collusion right there. That's an auto. To me, that's like an auto. I don't know. I almost like ban that those teams from the league. What would you guys do if they were caught? If the text messages got revealed and there was actual collusion,

what would you do? I'm not. I wouldn't. I can't imagine kicking someone out of a league. Even if they colluded. To me, that's just like, what's the,

what are we playing for? If we're allowing collusion? Because these are friends. I mean, how friendly are these people? Like, you know, if it's fringe people that you're not necessarily,

I don't care, active and active in the league. If they're friends of yours, you're gonna lose a friendship over somebody making a trade where they're trying to maybe do something sneaky. No, but would you lose a friend it's not something sneaky though like it would be collusion not worth losing a friendship i i wouldn't but would they would your friendship end if you were just like dude you cheated you colluded maybe not like yeah and like and then maybe you'll be like oh i'm so sorry like i didn't really think about all the

like serious factors of it of collusion but like But, like, how can you run a – You just impose some sort of penalty on the league. Like, they're not allowed to make trades for a year or something like that. You know, just – they lose a draft pick. I mean, there are other ways around it. You don't have to kick them out of the league. All right, but what do you do here? Like, how do you investigate this?

I do think – If it is proven to be true, you disallow the trade. If it's not, then you just allow it to go. It's not a horrible trade. No, but the question is not that. But how will you prove it to be true? The question is how do we If it's not, then you just allow it to go. It's not a horrible trade. The question is how do we prove it? I think Dan's right. The person who just threw that out, hey, there could be some concert

tickets involved here. You've got to show your evidence. You can't just throw that out in court without any evidence. The first thing you should check is both of your friend league makes Venmo. Check their Venmo. See if they have any transactions. They're not showing you their text messages. They're not going to show Check their Venmo. See if they have any transactions. They're not showing you their text messages. They're not going to show you

their Venmo. Venmo can be public. You can see if somebody paid a friend. Not always. So you check out around the time of that concert. This is how you do this.

Whenever that concert was, a day there, a day before, a day after. See if there are any money sent on Venmo between these two people. Yeah.

And if the emojis are like two tickets and then two footballs and a trophy. A music sign, a musical note. They may be smarter than that. They may have done cash. So there's a lot that goes into this. You do need to investigate

because you don't want to have a league where, maybe you don't kick them out, Jamie, but you don't want to have a league where people are like, oh, that's something I can do now. I can start giving out concerts? No, I mean, obviously you make that known that that's not allowed. All right. All right, guys, thank you. Wait, wait, wait, I just have one question.

No, no, no, I'm fading out the music. Go ahead. Oh, you went from 7 to 77? Yeah. I don't know why I get so much made fun of so much. My friend group for this. It doesn't seem that funny now that we're putting it to the public. No, I think your friends are just not very funny.

Nice. They left you at a tailgate. Oh, unbelievable. Left me stranded. Look, I had a lot of people I had to see that night. I said, Adam, I'll be back in a few minutes. Hang out with my brother. My brother was having a good time. He's like, yeah, yeah. Adam was cool. Then I get back and I was like, I had a lot of people I had to see that night. I said, Adam, I'll be back in a few minutes. Hang out with my brother. My brother was having a good time.

He's like, yeah, Adam was cool. Then I get back and I look online and I'm like, Dad just left me here with nobody. I got nothing to do. So sad. I had to walk all the way over here. A few minutes, by the way, turned into 15. And your brother ditched me five minutes into that.

So let's read some emails. Fantasy football. That sounds like read some emails. Fantasy Football at CBS. That sounds like a new problem. Yeah, maybe. FantasyFootball at CBSi.com is our email address. That's the letter I, FantasyFootball at CBSi.com. This is from Kerry. Hi, I was wondering what the deal is with,

it's time for a break. You say this, but then there is no pause or no ads. It doesn't seem edited. It seems you could just edit out. It's time for a break. I'm not complaining. I love that there's actually no breaks in the content. Just curious. So yes, she's talking about YouTube

where I say, let's take a break. Those go in the audio version of the podcast, but it is a little weird on YouTube. I'm like, all right, let's take a break. We're back, everybody. That's how it goes there. Carrie's fantasy question is if Gerald Everett plays would you play him over Kate Otten or Jonu Smith

no me either from David Ravens or Broncos DST this week I'm on Ravens I would go Broncos this week I find Ravens to be pretty matchup-proof from a DST

standpoint. They have been, yeah. The Ravens have not had a difficult matchup on the road yet. So, curious to see what happens here. That said, I would not be dropping the Ravens

to pick up the Broncos unless you're looking ahead to next week. Right, that's the thing. And then the Ravens to pick up the Broncos unless you're looking ahead to next week. Right, that's the thing. And the Ravens have this really tough schedule in the fantasy playoffs. So if they don't have a great game here, I'd probably be okay dropping them going into their bye. Also, Drake London, do you think he'll be better with Desmond Ritter at quarterback? No.

They had a little bit of a report that they started building before London's first injury and before Ritter got benched, if you just look at some of the last few games they had together. So I think it's possible, but I still don't know if I can, I guess, expect consistency from that report. And did I hear Jamie tell Adam

to keep his pants on during the last show? Yes. What was the context there? I don't recall. The YPC conversation. Oh, right. I said something about YPC and you go, yeah, baby. Yards per catch?

Carry, yards per carry. Oh, yeah, you're a big yards per carry guy, aren't you? I'm a sucker for a nice YPC. This is from Dustin. From a city in Southern California with a ton of traffic that's not named los angeles um san diego sandy yeah that's what i was thinking san diego la jolla 12 team yeah beautiful place 12 team scoring. I saw some celebrity. We went to La Jolla, had lunch, and saw some celebrity there. I can't remember who it was.

Something 77. Gray the Trade in a 12-team standard scoring league. I give up agency. Now I'm looking for the laughs. I'm not getting them. What a lonely feeling. I give up. Even worse than expected. Not only is it bad when I tell it, it's bad when anyone tells it. This is a lonely feeling. I give up. Even worse than expected.

Not only is it bad when I tell it, it's bad when anyone tells it. This is a good trade here. I give up Josh Dobbs, Jalen Waddell, and Cole Komet for A.J. Brown. I already have Josh Allen and Trey McBride. Yeah, you nailed this. A plus plus.

It's a very nice trade. This is from Mike. Kyle Pitts. I am starting him against Cincinnati. This is from Mike. Kyle Pitts. I am starting him against Cincinnati. Houston and Cincy, bad against tight ends. You guys said that earlier. I'm starting Kyle Pitts. Against Cincinnati?

Is that next week? Actually, I just put this in the notes and didn't even realize that they're not playing Cincinnati. They're not playing Cincinnati next week either. He took his word for it. No, Houston and Cincinnati. I said that about Ingram. That's his next matchup.

Okay, Ingram, Ingram. Yeah, no, Kyle Pitts. I actually don't give a crap if Kyle Pitts has a good matchup. So it doesn't matter. It's going to be fascinating to see if they have new coach and new quarterback next year, how we consider Kyle Pitts, likeets like how we rank them oh he'll get hyped up he'll get really hyped up like i wonder like can you imagine just based on how he uses tight ends if josh dobbs ends up in atlanta wow that'd be nice i think it'd be yeah i mean there i don't think that they're

truly in position to get maybe one of the top two quarterbacks but there's so much there's a lot of quarterback talent coming into this draft. That's like interesting guys like Bo Nix, Michael Pennix, Jaden Daniels that could just be starting in year one. But here's my thing with Kyle Pitts. And I want to ask you guys this. I loved his tape in Florida. And I know Jamie, you followed him closely at Florida.

I haven't really seen the same player I saw in Florida in the NFL at any point, really, at least not for any consistent stretch. So at some point it's like, do we apply the same logic we've been applying, even if they do get the massive quarterback upgrade to pits, or do you kind of scale it back in the sense of like, is he even this game changing type tight end? And just because he gets this great quarterback, is he someone who you can believe is going to be like around two, three, four type of tight end? I think the problem has been one, he's been a little bit banged up. So coming off the thousand yard rookie campaign that the injury sort of stopped any potential momentum.

And I don't know if he's been, we've talked about this a lot, you know, back to a hundred percent strength. Okay. But I also think part of it is, is you want him to be a tight end. You want him to be lined up more closer to the line of scrimmage and more like a slot receiver, as opposed to this outside guy that they've been forcing him to be a tight end you want him to be lined up more closer to the line of scrimmage and more like a slot receiver as opposed to this outside guy that they've been forcing him to be so when you have a bad quarterback and really an inconsistency i mean look john who smith has been better because he's playing more of a traditional tight end spot yeah no so you know john who has a receiver is bad

john who has a tight end which is what they draft him to be you know i know he's got the ability to play on the outside but let that be in spurts as opposed to constantly putting him there it just doesn't make sense it's interesting because i just can't think of a prospect who is so such a great prospect coming into the nfl that's had this long of a stretch of i think like even when i watch him i just don't think he looks like that same player i thought he was going to be regardless of if the ball's coming to him where he's lined up on his routes just the explosion just all of those traits that look so good in college as i haven't really seen yeah he look he set the rookie record for yards so that you know even then did it really feel like i don't remember honest i mean i don't

remember what it looks like i remember that i think that was also with matt ryan a quarterback that's going to put the ball in areas that allowed him to win. And even Arthur Smith said it to me when I talked to him this offseason. He said, we had Matt Ryan, and now we don't. That was a quarterback they trust. I seem to remember that London game against the Jets where he had 100-something yards. And it was just kind of a wow moment for him as a rookie. All right.

This one's from Tyler Allen in Martinez, California. Love the show. Hope Dan gets kicked out of the big burger dynasty league though. I for better joke. That's what he said. I don't think that was there. That's why I swear.

I said the notes. I'm looking right now to confirm if this was in here or not. It is for, this is a tough one and half people. By the way, you never even said on the last one be nice there was somebody you know the person who was saying oh did Jamie tell Adam to keep his pants on

the show haha he also said thank you I appreciate this be nicer to Dan no way actually you want me to read what he said what is the quote he said be nice to Dan comma maybe I get a little editor's note on that.

It's called editing. Okay, Adam. Yeah. You wouldn't know about this, but I said, be nicer to Dan. All right.

Tyler says, uh, Ford, Jerome Ford or Jalen Warren in half PPR this week. Ford for me. No shot. I'm answering this guy's question. After you said,

I hope Dan gets kicked out of the big burger dynasty league. All right. From Joe. I love hearing about different out of the Big Burger Dynasty League. All right, from Joe. I love hearing about different formats, especially guillotine leagues. This is my first year doing a guillotine league and definitely brings a fun element to fantasy football. Question on the end format. What

is more common at the end of a guillotine league or better way to play? Last team standing all the way to the end or a final four playoff format of cumulative points over the final few weeks of the season and if so how would you handle ad drops in the final four that's pretty cool though i've never heard that version of it and i i'm wondering if i like that more so i think if that's the case obviously you don't have the ad drops really for the final four

right you just have whoever was in for agency because you're not going to ask these people to drop their teams and then play out the last two weeks. Um, I think there's still, I think I still would lean toward the origin, like the regular version of guillotine. And I love guillotine leagues. I'm in three every year. Um, where it's just like you get down to that final three and then two, and then all these were all, everything's on the waiver wire and you really have to make a decision based on matchups for that week. And you just have so much, I guess, authority as a fantasy manager from that point. Also, you might've saved money at that point, or you might be out of money so you can really screw over your opponent or play it that way. So I think there might be more strategy into, into doing the regular way because more, more players hit for you and see.

I like it the regular way also. Uh, but I do think that we're seeing more guillotine leagues lock the teams that get knocked out from week 14 on this is from this is from Rich I've been offered a trade I give up Mixon

and Mike Evans I get AJ Brown and Madison or Kareem Hunt or Madison and Kareem Hunt. I don't know. Anyway, anymore. This is good.

I would have, I would have stopped it. You said Evans and mixing for AJ Brown. You would have done that still. You're saying, right? Yeah, me too.

I don't like mixing from this point on with Browning is, uh, that's, it could be a really ugly start every week for you. All right, Joe. And here's Joe from Boston, half PPR, with Browning is... That could be a really ugly start every week for you. Here's Joe from Boston. Half PPR, pick a flex. Javante,

Rasheed Rice. You're just quoting a commercial. What do you mean? It's not that good of a commercial or anything. Joe, you should go with Javante Williams. Javante Williams, Rasheed Rice, Rashawn Johnson. You've got to go with Javante, right? Yeah. I would go with Javante Williams. Javante Williams, Rasheed Rice, Rashawn Johnson. You got to go with Javante, right? Yeah.

Yeah, I would go with Javante too. All right. Super flecky. Hey, man, you know what commercial that was from? From Boston? Your cousin. From Boston. No, why would you know that? Because it's just a random commercial that's popped up.

No, no. I know what he's saying, but I don't remember what the product is. I think it's a beer commercial, right? You don't even know what the commercial's from that you're quoting? Your cousin... By the way, speaking of which, I'm sending you a... Oh, it's Sam Adams, dude. Of course, Sam Adams.

I'm sending you a... Just because you mentioned this the other day with the movies. Ryan Reynolds and Amy Smart did an ad for... Is Amy Smart? Yeah. Did an ad for one of his liquor companies as the characters. From Just Friends? Yeah.

You've seen Just Friends, Dan? No. Oh, it's so good. It's so enjoyable. It's just, what did you say? It's a very funny movie. Rom-com? Yeah.

But more comedy than romantic. From what year? 2005, I think? No, 15 years ago. Okay, okay. Who are the main stars? Ryan Reynolds, Amy Smart, Anna Faris, and Chris Clowney. Oh, those are all awesome people I would watch. It's really...

I might watch it tonight. After watching the commercial, I wanted to watch it because he's like, I've updated the characters a little bit. Cause it you'll, you'll see. It's a very funny spoof. Yeah.

Um, anyway, uh, what was the other movie that we said Dan didn't see? Every movie, essentially the Sandlot. I don't know. No,

I've seen Sandlot. What is that? Oh, is that Dan said? Nice comment. Justin voted. So that said, if coach would have put Dan in, they would have won state. See, this is where the joke originates from. See, he finds

some humor in it. The idea that I'm QB Dan seven, but I can't throw a football. I don't. This is not. I don't see any. You didn't have an aim screen name. You guys didn't have aim screen names. I had two. I had huge asses. That was my first one.

H-U-G-H-J-A-S-E-S. I didn't put two asses in there. That was my first one. And then I had Acer's Got Flava. Okay. What about Big Cane 2? What was yours, Jamie? Big Cane 2 was a message board name. Whoa, you were in weird message board?

You were belonging to weird message board? I had to when I was in college for something. You had to? Yes, I had to. It's getting even weirder Weird Message Board? I had to when I was in college for something. You had to? Yes, I had to. It's getting even weirder, this story. But Jamie, what was your AIM screen name? Oh, Mr. Jasmine. Mr. Jasmine?

Yeah, I played the saxophone. Jazz man, not Jasmine. Jazz man, okay. Yeah, he played the sax. All right, from Steve. Okay, oh, sorry. Here's the question. It's a Superflex 12-team lamb for burrow straight up i'm a contender which i guess means he's giving up

burrow for lamb i hate it i hate it yeah i hate it i hate it as a contender it doesn't matter if you're a contender or pretender you don't get qbs in super flex leagues. They're very hard to get. Good luck. What if he has somebody significant as a second one and drafted Stroud? Oh, obviously. He could be here the rest of the lineup, but if he's stacked at QB, it's a different story. But it's very rare to be stacked

at QB. For example, somebody who is contending in my dynasty league offered me Burrow, a first and a second round pick for Herbert. I thought about it pick for herbert i didn't i thought about it for a while i didn't do it but that's more along the line no i didn't do that what i didn't do that i did not do that what why because it was thanksgiving and you were doing things he's contending team his first round pick i'm gonna get for him isn't gonna be anything special it's gonna be end of first round second round pick pick, whatever. I think Herbert is going to be a better

fantasy quarterback rest of career than Burrow. There's just things I like about Herbert's game that I don't see with Burrow from a fantasy standpoint. But they're not that far apart, though. They're not currently that far apart. One's injured for the second time, missing the rest of the season. I just personally like Herbert better. It's very tough for me to

move players, quarterbacks, in super flexed dynasty. Yeah, exactly. You're getting a to move players, a quarterbacks in super flex dynasty. I don't. Yeah, exactly. You're getting it. Dan, this is,

this is the worst fantasy decision you've ever made. I disagree. We'll find out. We're never going to imagine. Imagine a year ago. Imagine a year ago. If somebody offered you Herbert for burrow and was also giving you, or no burrow for Herbert.

It was also giving you two first round picks a year ago. A Herbert. First round pick and a second round. Sorry. Yeah. Two picks a late, a late first at the end of first round. And it's like, it was also giving you two first-round picks a year ago. No, I said one first-round pick and a second-round pick. Oh, sorry. Yeah, two picks. A late first at the end of first round and a second. It's close. I thought about it, but I just prefer Herbert, rest of career.

I don't disagree with that take. I mean, I personally prefer Burrow, but they're so close. You're getting stuff with it. They're close in the sense of, like, right now. It's just a matter of do I trust Herbert versus Burrow rest of career? And I like Herbert's skill set for fantasy so much more than Burrow's. Like Burrow to me depends on so many factors remaining the way they are in Cincinnati, including the offensive line,

which they invested heavily in, which isn't even that good, despite investing heavy in all the contracts they're going to have to pay out. I know it's the same situation. I don't see it. You've got Keenan Allen on his last legs. Mike Williams could be gone. Maybe I should have done it. I was thinking about it.

I just didn't want to live in a world where I didn't have Herbert anymore for the rest of his career. All right. I know it's thorough, but. You can take a break. Let's take a break here. We'll come back with you.

Oh yeah, JMS Leaf. Dan and I will answer your YouTube questions after this. Gotta go, bye.

Friday. A joke from earlier. And let's get your questions. Let's get your questions. I traded away my homes and Marvin Mims for Stroud, Tank Dell and a 20-25 second. This must be

Dynasty? Yeah. Traded away my homes and Marvin Mims for Stroud, Tank Dell and a 20 second? This must be Dynasty? Yeah. Trade away Mahomes and Marvin Mims for Stroud, Tank Dell, and a 2025 second. I mean, I would never do it, personally. This just goes back to this last question, Mark and Adam. I just, in Dynasty, if you have Mahomes, if you have these massive assets,

at quarterback, and it's super flex. Well, this didn't say super flex, actually, so this might not be super flex. So Tank Dell, I still think I'd prefer the Mahomes side. Yeah, it's definitely a very in-the-moment trade with how well Stroud and Dell have played. But it could go horribly wrong,

whereas Mahomes is such a proven commodity. I can't imagine trading Mahomes if I have him in Dynasty for anything. Someone asked me for him, too, this week, and I said, no price. I need two from this wide receiver group, please. Calvin Ridley, Devante Adams. It's going to be those two.

Then Josh Downs, Demario Douglas, and Jordan Addison. Yeah, it has to be Ridley and Adams here. It's like my gut tells me Josh Downs will be better than Calvin Ridley and maybe better than Adams, but I just think it has to be those guys. I do like Downs a lot this week, and I would play him. If you really wanted to get him in, I would

play him over Adams rather than Ridley. I agree. I'm starting Garrett Wilson and Mostert today. Okay, that's not a question. Good luck to you. Yes, good luck. Good luck. Barkley or Mostert this week? Barkley. Warren or Downs? PPR flex. Oh, wow Downs PPR flex

oh wow down full PPR I got to go Downs in a full PPR though I do like Warren this week with the new offense coordinator oh that's David A what's up David A from let's see pick one wide receiver and a flex half

PPR tank Dell Devante Smith Ky Kyron Williams, James Conner. Tank Dell? Tank Dell, ooh, half PPR. I'm still going Tank Dell, Devante Smith, personally. Definitely not Conner. I struggle with Kyron because I do think he's going to have a good game. He probably will.

They're going to let him loose a little. I agree with Dan. I'll go Dell and Devante. game. He probably will. They're going to let him loose a little. I agree with Dan. I'll go Dell and Devante. Also, just saw T. Higgins is out this week. Not a surprise. What a disaster draft pick he's been. Cam Taylor-Britt is out this week as well.

One of the best defensive backs for the Cincinnati Bengals. Mostert or Singletary? You got to go Mostert or Singletary you gotta go Mostert uh let's see let's see sorry looking for questions here it's okay um McBride, Kincaid or Kyron Williams full PPR

I think I'll go Kyron in this scenario really not me yeah where would you go well I struggle with the tight ends McBride and Kincaid because if I think I'll go Kyron in this scenario. Really? Not me. Yeah. Where would you go? Well, I struggle with the tight ends, McBride and Kincaid, because what if Marquise Brown doesn't play? Michael Wilson's already out. Is McBride just going to have 12 targets?

I'd probably go McBride. Gray the trade. I gave up Devante Adams and DeAndre Hopkins for Adam Phelan and Devante Smith. That is an A, if not an A+. Hopkins is almost useless to me. Is Phelan that much more at this point? Phelan, yeah. I mean, lately. It was good last week, yeah.

He did have a bounce back last week, so that was something to... All right, I like it anyway because I like Devante Smith the most of anything. I'll downgrade. I'll go B+. Yeah, I was in the B-plus range. Is Zay Flowers...

If Zay Flowers is out, would you start Madison or Bateman in PPR? Madison. I guess it's Madison. It doesn't have to be. That's just what I would do. do no it is because i don't want to start bateman at all mcbride or commit i'm easy mcbride for me bateman uh mcbride uh i'm gonna try not to read friday questions too much but i'll read this one bryce or bryce Hall or Kyron Williams? Brees Hall.

Okay. Never met you, Brees Hall. Josh Downs or Demario Douglas, PPR? Josh Downs. I'm sorry, Dan. I don't want to get all Giants-y here, but I am shocked that the Giants are underdogs. Why? By like a full field goal too, right? Why would it be shocking to you? Does anybody... The Patriots

are 2-8. The Giants actually have more wins than them. It's a three and a half point spread. The Patriots should be three and a half point favorites over someone? I mean, I guess the assumption here is the Giants are still playing a UDFA quarterback in Tommy DeVito. I know he had a great week last week.

He also did it against a Washington defense that was clearly quitting on its coach. I mean, in my opinion, at least they fired their coach today, looked horrible against the Cowboys, looked horrible against the Giants defensively. Yeah, they're the worst pass defense in the world. Bill Belichick against Tommy DeVito is where that spread is from.

They assume Bill Belichick will dominate Tommy DeVito from a mental standpoint, and I think that he probably will from a schematic standpoint. No, probably. But I think the Patriots may as well be starting an undrafted free. Well, that's true, too. They're not going to move the ball either. It's going to be... Maybe it should be like two and a half, probably. All right. Puka or

Cup if Cup plays? Ugh. Cup, but I'm not comfortable with Cup this week in general. I think there's a chance for... a high chance for injury. But I'm not going to bench Kup.

I can't bunch Kup if he plays. That's just how I play fantasy. Last question here. Which two should I start in PPR? Barkley, Taylor, ETN, Eckler. Eckler to start. Let's lock that in. This is tough.

I can't believe you can only start two. PPR. Matchup's concluded. I'll go Taylor you can only start two. PPR, matchups concluded. I'll go Taylor. That's what I was leaning to, Eckler and Taylor. Yeah. That's great. You know, I talked about this on the mailbag, I think. No, the live stream on Sunday last week.

That's the kind of team. You got Barkley, Taylor, Eckler, and was it ETN was the other one? Yeah. You're never going to get that right. You're going to. It's just, I'm sorry. It's a other one? Yeah. You're never going to get that right. You're going to, it's just, I'm sorry. It's a great problem to have,

but you should be trading. How about this? I cost myself a week last week. I have three spots for four guys, Barkley, Swift, Ken Walker, and ETN.

I think no Pollard, Barkley, Swift, Pollard, Ken Walker. And I benched Barkley, who outscored all three of them combined. Ken Walker? Yeah, last week I played him. Wow.

Yeah. It was a mistake. Yes, it was. It was like I made a last-minute switch on that one. That's the worst when that happens. I do that sometimes. Well, I'm glad you had a good Thanksgiving, Dan. Oh, that's the worst when that happens. I do that sometimes. Well, I'm glad you had a good Thanksgiving,

Dan. I know it's impossible to get your lineup set. So I forgive you. No, I'll be setting it. This will be the last. I, again,

need to own up for this mistake. Where are the sleeves on my shirt? Says Rick was cage. These are fine sleeves guys. Like this is not like, look at this. Just look at it. This is fine.

This is perfectly fine. How much do you curl? How much do you curl? I don't actually ever do biceps. That's one of my things. The only muscle I don't work out at the gym because I think they're pointless. But when you do back, you get some muscle. You get some biceps in.

Gotcha. Okay. Good to know. Yeah. You'll never need to use this information clearly and you never will use it. But good to know, I guess. I have this joke queued up about working out. And like if somebody asks me,

ask me how much I can bench. How much can you bench? Well, Dan, I have a motto when I'm at the gym, and that is raise the bar, which is also how much I can bench. That's bad. And I'm also not positive that you could rep out a bar, to be honest with you. What do you mean rep out?

45 pounds. I could do that. How many times? You don't think I can do 10? I would say that if you got to a gym right now, Adam, and we gave you just the bar, no weight on the bar. Yeah. You would make it to nine reps.

I can do 10 reps of the bar. That's so insulting. Are you kidding me? I'm not in high school. Okay. I can give you 10. I don't think you're going to make it to 15. I think by rep 12 or 13, you're done. It's curious. All right. You're on.

I will try to make that happen. Just the bar. No way. Wow. That is really a pathetic challenge, but I'll take it. All right, everybody. Have an awesome weekend. We'll talk to you later. I'm Fancy for Buckeyes.
