Starting point is 00:01:43 It's mailbag time. It's Fantasy Cops time. Apple Podcasts, questions, time. It's fantasy cops time. Apple podcast questions, YouTube emails at fantasy football at cbsi.com. We are into week 14. Everybody's seeking out over what happened on Thursday night. That was good. I was,
Starting point is 00:01:57 I just made that up. That was terrific. Wow. Dan Schneier is finally here. I told the YouTube audience starting soon. Dan is holding us up. Let's see what some of the, some of the comments we got. I told the YouTube audience, starting soon, Dan is holding us up. Let's see what some of the comments we got. I can't even imagine.
Starting point is 00:02:10 Dan is on the can. Dan probably ripped through another shirt. Dan tumble dry high Schneier. I like that. That means you shrink your shirts in the dryer and then you rip through them. And then, yeah, there you go. Dan's round of golf went long. Well, the good news is I gave... He was in the dryer and then you can feel them. And then, yeah, there you go. Dan's round of golf went long. Well, the good news is I gave. He was in the pool.
Starting point is 00:02:31 I gave him an ultimatum. I told him you're not coming back on the show until you watch Christmas Vacation. So what did you think of Christmas Vacation? You know, I walked into class. It felt like I was walking into class today. Like it was back in like homeroom, middle school or early high school days. And I was like, Oh God, I didn't do the assignment. I didn't do the assignment. What kind of excuse can I make up? What kind of, so I'm thinking of all the best excuses, but you know what? There is no good excuse. I had a busy week. That's not a
Starting point is 00:02:57 good excuse, but you know, I will say this. I was not at home any of the single nights this week. I played basketball. I got in tennis first First pickup hoops game in like years. Got invited to. And I just couldn't make it work. That's not a good excuse. I, you know, have nothing really to say that will make this better. But I promise to be better. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:16 I mean, listen. This is worse than you couldn't set your lineup on Thanksgiving because you had stuff to do. I had stuff to do. I was making the pasta bowl. I was cooking the mac and do. I had stuff to do. I was making the pasta. I was cooking the mac and cheese. I had things to do on Thanksgiving morning. Okay. I mean,
Starting point is 00:03:30 your excuses are terrible. I know. I, I, at least he acknowledges he doesn't have a good excuse. He just didn't want, it's fine. He said he wants a one week extension.
Starting point is 00:03:38 He's getting a one week extension. You know, this is like school. Like I'll get my extension. I probably now can only get a max of a B plus on this, but you know what? We'll do what we can do. Yeah. One more assignment for you before next Friday. All right. Like I'll get my extension. I probably now can only get a max of a B plus on this, but you know what? We'll do what we can do. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:46 One more assignment for you before next Friday. All right. You got to get a haircut. It's really, it's wild up there. I know it's getting bad. I actually have one. I had one scheduled for today and then, or I called to get one scheduled today. I had a nice little block, one 30 to three, and they couldn't make it work in my place.
Starting point is 00:04:01 So I'm, I'm, I'm waiting again. I thought you're not going back to that place again. Oh no, I'm good. It's a new place. So I'm waiting again. I thought you're not going back to that place again. Oh, no. It's a new place. That place is done. All right. Let's go through our news and notes, and we'll get to your questions. Brees Hall practiced.
Starting point is 00:04:12 Robert Sala said he's optimistic about Brees Hall playing this week against Houston. Who were in the 17 leagues that you picked up Dalvin Cook right before the show? Who did you drop to pick up Dalvin Cook? I dropped Tyler Conklin. I dropped Christian Kirk. I dropped... You dropped Kirk?klin. I dropped Christian Kirk. I dropped... You dropped Kirk? Yeah, he's out four weeks.
Starting point is 00:04:30 That's the rest of the season. I guess I'm thinking the only league where I have him in is Dynasty Leagues. He's going on IR. I was picking up Dalvin Cook in several leagues, and then Dave sent me a message and said, just so you know, Robert Salas said he thinks Breeze Hall is going to play. Whatever. I didn't drop anyone of consequence.
Starting point is 00:04:45 David Njoku and Amari Cooper practice. And we always expected Njoku to play, but Amari Cooper trending in the right direction. That's great. And would he crack your top 24, Jamie? Amari Cooper, if he plays? If Joe Flacco starts, yes. If Flacco does not start, then no.
Starting point is 00:05:00 Trevor Lawrence is likely going to be a game-time decision. Left tackle Walker Little stepped on Lawrence's foot. Walker Little, what's up with that, man? He's likely out. Cornerback Tyson Campbell is going to be a game-time decision. And as mentioned, Christian Kirk is going on IR. So, Dan, what would your level of confidence be in Trevor Lawrence if he plays at Cleveland?
Starting point is 00:05:24 Low. I think if on a scale of 1 to 10, maybe a 2. I don't think he'll be as mobile. Not that he has been totally utilizing his legs the way I've hoped he would when he came into the NFL from Clemson. Obviously, he was a much better runner at the collegiate level. But either way, with Christian Kirk out, his most reliable weapon,
Starting point is 00:05:40 playing on an injury, which I don't think is the smart thing to do. And I ultimately don't think they will play him, but we'll see. I would have a two. A two, okay. And Dawson Knox could play. We're still waiting for a word there as he's been practicing and see if he gets back for that game at Kansas City.
Starting point is 00:05:56 Go ahead. No, no, no. You go ahead. I was going to say the Dalton-Kincaid hype is over. I thought for a little while, for a small stretch, that we might be getting that breakout tight end, and I just don't think that's the case anymore. Really?-Kincaid hype is over. I thought for a little while, for a small stretch, that we might be getting that breakout tight end, and I just don't think that's the case anymore. Really?
Starting point is 00:06:08 I don't know if it's over. Once Knox comes back, I think it's going to be over. Yeah, I don't know if I agree with that. I think we got a new coordinator, so we'll see how that goes because last time he played, he was playing under Ken Dorsey's system, can't trust a hurricane. And now you have Joe Brady calling plays. I can't imagine they go away from Kincaid. you know joe brady calling plays i can't imagine
Starting point is 00:06:25 they go away from kincaid you know so i don't think they're gonna go away from kincaid it's more lower to see it's more my issue is more just like a snap share and snap percentage basis like are they gonna he was playing a lot of snaps with nox you know so it's a matter of do they go back to their 12 personnel or do they stick with 11 personnel if they go back to 12 personnel then i think it's a matter of the end zone targets maybe could be a problem. I don't – to me, Knox is a small speed bump to Kincaid. It's not, I think, a complete hindrance. Kind of an underrated thing is that Stefan Diggs has not been getting – I feel like I'm going to look now to confirm, but the target share has gone down.
Starting point is 00:07:06 It's been, last four weeks, 22%, 20%, 27.6%, 22.4%. That's the target share for Stefan Diggs. And typically, before that, in his first eight games, I believe, he was over 30% in one, two, three, four, five, six times in eight games. So you're seeing a more conservative Josh Allen. He's not throwing the ball downfield as much and throwing his running backs a little bit more, throwing to Khalil Shakir. We'll see how it plays out after the bye. Maybe his elbow or his shoulder, whatever it is, is feeling a little bit better and he can air it out a little bit more. All right. Apple Podcast questions. This one is from FeelTheCBRN, the C-Burn. Pick two at running back.
Starting point is 00:07:52 A-Chan, Mostert, Kyron Williams, and Tony Pollard. Wow. A-Chan and Williams. I was leaning A-Chan and Kyron. We said Kyron a lot last week, Adam, or at least I said Kyron a lot in those spots, and it worked out. I just, benching Pollard, I think you have to, though, in this matchup, so I'll stick with Kyron and HN as well.
Starting point is 00:08:14 Pick two wide receivers, Justin Jefferson, Ayuk, Puka, Debo. Jefferson and debo i'll go with puka and debo as well and now we need to flex mostert pollard uh you who'd you say dan you said puka or jefferson i said Puka or Jefferson? I said Puka. Mostert, Pollard, or one of those wide receivers? I'll take Mostert. I'll put Jefferson in. Jamie, that means you're starting both Dolphins
Starting point is 00:08:53 running backs. Oh, it's the same team? I'm sorry. I thought we were on a different team. Then I would either start both Dolphins running backs or start both 49ers receivers. I'll start both Dolphins running backs. start both 49ers receivers. I'll start both Dolphins running backs. Adam. All right.
Starting point is 00:09:07 Next one is from I Dropped Herbert. Adam, hands up, hands down. Best hair on the show. No, I don't agree with that. Like a young Ben Savage. I do agree with that. Half PBR. You know, that would have been fine.
Starting point is 00:09:20 Don't call me young Ben Savage. I would have been fine with that. But a young Jason Alexander is just unbelievable. He's a good looking guy. Good looking guy. I would have been fine with that. But a young Jason Alexander is just unbelievable. He's a good looking guy. I don't understand. Let's be honest. He's a good looking guy.
Starting point is 00:09:33 Which version of him? The younger one. The younger one with hair. I get a full shot of the younger version. Someone find out, Zach, find us a full shot of the younger version of Jason Alexander, who, by the way, went to high school, which is 10 minutes away from my town in Livingston, New Jersey. I went to West Orange High School, so he went to a close high school, so there's the connection there. I need to see a full shot. I need to make sure
Starting point is 00:09:52 that at some point he wasn't like the Jason Alexander I know on Seinfeld. He wasn't. I already showed you this. Before you see this, I'm not just talking about the bald head. I'm talking about the whole package. I understand what you're saying. If right now, since you're saying. You know what I'm getting at, Adam.
Starting point is 00:10:06 If right now, right now, since you're so funny, would you sign up for Jason Alexander's life right now? Of course. Okay. So what are you going to heartbeat? So what are you complaining about? What am I complaining about? I don't get his life. I'm just getting his looks in this scenario. That's what I'm complaining about. I don't get his life. I'm just getting his looks in this scenario.
Starting point is 00:10:26 That's what I'm complaining about. I don't get the show. I don't get any of that. He was a good-looking guy, and it launched a very successful career. I thought you had a picture. I don't think his looks are what got him his career, Adam. I don't know. I think you're wrong about that.
Starting point is 00:10:39 I think you're underestimating young. Yeah, I feel bad having this conversation. Anyway, pick three. Is Ben Savage Boy Meets World? underestimating uh all right young young yeah i feel bad having this conversation anyway uh pick pick three and savage boy meets world uh yeah pretty sure yeah you're you're a dead ringer for for for cory from boy meets world and roan gardner all right all right shut up half pbr start three yeah there's the there's the jason alexander i want to see the full shot here. That looks just like you. It does not look just like me. It really does.
Starting point is 00:11:09 It really does. He's like 5'1". What are you? You're 5'2". I'm 5'8". No, it really looks a lot like you. I'm maybe 5'9". Marissa Tomei is calling, Dan.
Starting point is 00:11:25 Well, that's another story. All right. Here we go. Back to the questions. Back to the question. Pick three and half PPR. Puka, DJ Moore, Gibbs, Moss, A-Chan. Moore, Moss, A-Chan.
Starting point is 00:11:44 I'm going to go go a-chan for sure puka i who i still like this week and more what is this puka love i just loved i saw what from what i saw last week i feel like he looked a little bit healthier and he just looked more explosive out there and i just think right now cooper cup this version of him is not is not the best version so i'm just so he So he looked a little healthier in the game where he sprained his AC joint and had to leave? Yeah, he had to leave, but he played – but, I mean, he had the big play, the explosive play.
Starting point is 00:12:13 I mean, if he's injured, like – I'll have to check the most recent injury report. Let me take a look at that right now. It's his legs that look good. He was able to run away from someone, which was nice. All right, this one's for Omaha. He looked freaking good out there. He had a 70-yard touchdown.
Starting point is 00:12:28 Travis in Omaha. Standard league running back help. Give me two of this group. Eckler, Kamara, Kyron, and Mostert. Pick two. Eckler, Kamara, Kyron, Mostert. Please don't ever ask about starting Kamara unless it's with Christian McCaffrey
Starting point is 00:12:46 what the only player you'd start over Kamara at this point is Christian McCaffrey Kamara and I feel that way about Kyron so I'll put Kyron in there Kamara and Kyron Williams okay this is from hey buddy don't say
Starting point is 00:13:04 no sit one Mike Evans, Nico Collins Devante Adams, Debo Okay. Kamara and Kyron Williams. Okay, this is from HeyBuddyDon'tSayNo. Sit one. Mike Evans, Nico Collins, Devante Adams, Debo Samuel. It's either Evans or Adams for me, I think. I'm not. I'm definitely not sitting Debo. You're sitting Evans? I mean, I don't know if I need to sit him. Who's the first guy?
Starting point is 00:13:22 I'm definitely not sitting the first guy. Evans. It's between Nico and Adams for me. I'm definitely not sitting Nico. Nico, by himself, against the Jets, in bad weather. I don't care how many targets he's getting. He's third at best. I would sit Adams, but the other two are relative.
Starting point is 00:13:40 Evans is top three this week. I mean, it's not even close. The matchup's great, but I won't say Evans. I'll say Adams. Yeah, I think the weather's really, really potentially a factor this week. So that's why you got to watch Fantasy Football today, Sunday morning at 10 a.m. Eastern on CBS Sports HQ,
Starting point is 00:13:57 and why you got to tune into the live stream Sunday morning at 11.30 a.m. Eastern at youtube.com slash fantasyfootballtoday. There will potentially be some bad weather in the Northeast on the East coast. And we'll, uh, you know,
Starting point is 00:14:10 Dan will certainly keep you updated because that's basically, he thinks that's the entire country. So he's very in tune with the weather on the East coast. And yeah, we'll, we'll keep you posted on that, but it could play a factor for sure. If the weather is a factor,
Starting point is 00:14:22 I'm obviously going to move off Nico Collins, but if it's, if it's not a major factor here, I'll nico collins over davante adams in this in this regard and i'll say the same thing i said the last couple days stroud on the road has been bad stroud without tank dell has been bad i love the targets that nico's going to get and this is not a sit nico collins thing you have four very good receivers and so when you have a lot of good players you have to make some tough calls like Like I said, I think he's still taking him slightly over Devontae Adams,
Starting point is 00:14:48 but it's not a slam dunk like it should be if he's playing at home against a more favorable opponent. I don't know that I really am with you on the home road thing, though, for Stroud. I think it's been like a golf thing where it's been just matchups. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:03 Maybe he's had harder matchups on the road than he has at home. And this is one of them. This is definitely one of them. I don't think he's going to have a great game. And the Dell thing, yeah, for sure. But I've seen wide receivers have good games against the Jets
Starting point is 00:15:19 while their quarterbacks have not. Sure. That happens. Yeah. Josh Allen in week one was bad, and Stefan Diggs had over 100 yards in a touchdown, for example. This could happen all the time. Just going back to that last question, I mean, you have four good options there, so you're going to have to sit one that you really like.
Starting point is 00:15:36 And the last Apple podcast review, which is only a four-star review, I don't usually read them, but I thought it was funny. I don't even read a four-star. It must be either Adam's Great or Dance. dance the subject line was adam and it said feel better you really get sick a lot always nasally but otherwise the show is okay i'm sorry i lost us a star of my nasally voice i apologize yeah you need to like use the auto tune on the mixer and get the nasal out oh wow i wish i could auto.
Starting point is 00:16:05 Yeah. You know, Adam, I've always been told not from this podcast, from my big blue band or podcast that I have a very nasally voice as well. So it's been something I've been super, uh, self,
Starting point is 00:16:14 uh, what's that word? Not what's the word when you're, uh, self-conscious, conscious of that. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:20 That's a big word. Um, so hard to come up with. I used to, I don't have that function on my mixer here. I probably could find it. That's a thing. Let me know. Send me a link.
Starting point is 00:16:32 I used to take the bass, like the low tones, and turn them up and take the high tones and turn them down a little bit and made my voice deeper. People knew that. I was very open about that.
Starting point is 00:16:44 I was using performance enhancers with my voice. I wish you told me that off air. Yeah, yeah. Well, anyway, we'll be right back after this quick break on Fantasy Football. I am your father. Yeah, we will be right back after this quick break on Fantasy Football today. Did you know 66% of utility damage is caused by not requesting a locate?

Starting point is 00:17:24 It's the law. Data sourced from the ORCGA 2023 Dirt Report. Got some good fantasy cops for you today. Send us your emails at fantasyfootballatcbsi.com. Put fantasy cops in the subject line. This one comes from Brett. And the league is going, he told me the league is going to use
Starting point is 00:17:48 our advice to decide. Oh, baby. All right. We got a 12-team Superflex League. The playoffs start next week. Six teams make the playoffs. One-player Keeper League. And that is important here. And you cannot keep
Starting point is 00:18:03 quarterbacks because the Yahoo dollar pre-draft values don't adjust for two QB leagues. So you could keep Burrow for $7, whatever. So you can't keep any quarterbacks. So one keeper, Superflex League. Team A is in eighth place without a realistic chance at the top six. Team A dropped Sam Howell to pick up Jonathan Mingo.
Starting point is 00:18:27 Howell is the current number four player in our league. His defense is that he can't keep Howell and Mingo could be a $0 keeper next year. He had many other players on his bench to drop like a backup tight end in a Joku. He does not admit to collusion, but did admit that this was to improve his team next season. players on his bench to drop like a backup tight end in a joku he does not admit to collusion but
Starting point is 00:18:45 did admit that this was to improve his team next season team b used 75 in fab to pick up howell he is in first place locked into the one seat and had the highest fab available his starting quarterbacks are in ir and he's currently starting mayfield as his quarterback. Wow. We do not have a no-cut list or anything like that, and this doesn't break a current league rule, but what should we do? Vote to add Howell back to the original team? Do nothing? Add a don't-drop list next season?
Starting point is 00:19:18 If we vote, do we only let the playoff teams vote since it financially impacts them, or let the whole league vote? What punishment, if any any for either team and i do have a text convo convo of them discussing howell pre-drop but not clearly agreeing to a swap of assets or favors or anything like that and he sent me a screenshot of the conversation by the way can we see that screenshot that's a big key factor and there's a key piece of evidence in this. I will be happy to read it to you.
Starting point is 00:19:48 I don't... Okay. But what are you... You can send it to us privately. You can send it to us privately. Okay. He told me I could read it. I just don't want to display it.
Starting point is 00:19:56 Yeah, I don't blame you. So they've discussed Howell as the trade deadline has passed, I assume? Yeah, I guess so. He didn't really, like... This is what... I mean, were they discussing Howell about a trade at some, I assume? Yeah, I guess so. He didn't really like, this is what. I mean, were they discussing Howell about a trade? I'll read it to you. I'll read it to you.
Starting point is 00:20:10 Wednesday at 9.15. Where did Howell go? Is there a date? 9.15 Wednesday. Must be. Not September 15th. Is it 9.15? No, no, no, 9.15 a.m.
Starting point is 00:20:22 No, no, 9.15 a.m. Sorry. This week. Yeah, yeah. Wednesday morning. Where did Howell go? The other guy responds waiver wire and he says, get them. I don't know what that means. Like he's going to get them. Also, are you dropping a wide receiver? Yep. OBJ. Hmm. And then later it says we have a babysitter at 5 p.m. Saturday if you guys want to grab a bite. I didn't see anything in the text that implied collusion necessarily.
Starting point is 00:20:51 I don't think I'll buy you dinner with the babysitter. Oh, that's interesting. I just thought of that as like... I honestly don't think this was collusion. I think this was like innocent behavior for the most part. So the league is insinuating that he dropped the guy knowing that he has the most fab to go pick up sam howell
Starting point is 00:21:08 yes is this guy like his best friend are they best friends like i don't friends they're grabbing a bite they're grabbing a bite but the whole league is friends but but where is where is this like where did this message come from like did they send it to the person yeah i guess so i guess the guy exposed them. They're like, send me all your text messages. Or was it part of a group text in the morning of nine 15? Send me your text.
Starting point is 00:21:31 I don't know which manager said, I don't know which manager said, where did how we'll go? And the other one said waiver wire. And then the one who said, where did how we'll go said, get them. Also,
Starting point is 00:21:42 are you dropping a wide receiver? And then the other guy said, yep. O.B.J. I mean, if that's the if that's the other guy that's like in the league, he's almost like just like cheering on the first place team. Like, yeah, go get him. Go get it. I mean, also, collusion has to be what did he get?
Starting point is 00:22:01 Right. That's exactly right. There's no collusion. There's no collusion. Well, there might be might be adam but it might be future collusion you know there might be might be future benefits like okay next time this happens i'll drop someone for you yeah so they're friends with benefits basically but um yeah i i uh i don't i'm not i guess i'm okay with it but it is weird that he dropped Howell. Yeah, instead of Nujoku.
Starting point is 00:22:27 Instead of Nujoku. Yeah, that's really weird. But there's nothing you can do about this, though. There is something you can do, though, that we do in our league. This helps these types of situations. We do a cutoff period, a certain week, where free agents that you pick up can no longer be keepers for the next year and this is to avoid this type of stuff at the end of a season team that's out of it just dropping everything and being like oh we know i need these players on my team i'll just go
Starting point is 00:22:53 for anyone who could possibly be a keeper and just try to get as many possible keepers as i can and i'll go into the off season so like we had that happening and it was a disaster and teams really didn't weren't incentivized to keep those like fringe players who are good producers now but not keeper eligible so we made a cutoff week and i think that's a that's good for other leagues to avoid this type of stuff in this particular case though i think i would just let it go i mean the credit the guy in first place for having the most fab you know right right and these type of things the fantasy gods always come back to bite you so oh oh yeah sam howell's got San Francisco and... I'm not talking about that.
Starting point is 00:23:29 I'm talking about you may have done something shady to your league that may cost you down the road at some point. Maybe. Like what Adam did to me last night. Oh, yeah. He's got the Jets in San Francisco in Week 16 and 17. What happened last night to Jamie? I almost made an error in judgment, but then I said, the jets in San Francisco week 16 and 17. What happened last night to Jamie? Uh,
Starting point is 00:23:45 I, you know, I almost made a bad, I almost made an error in judgment, but then I said, no, I'm not going to let, I'm not going to let my friendship with Jamie.
Starting point is 00:23:51 Uh, no, Adam did exactly the right thing. I, I was, I was, I was tied up and I was not paying attention to, uh,
Starting point is 00:23:58 actives and inactives last night because, Oh, wait a second. Hold on. You had things to do. You had some things to do. Life got in the way and you couldn't get to your actives and inactives. Hold on a second. Hold on. You had things to do. You had some things to do. Life got in the way, and you couldn't get to your actives and inactives. Hold on a second.
Starting point is 00:24:10 I seem to remember somebody else who had a big Thanksgiving morning and couldn't get to his thing. The old guy. Yes, but when there's a pattern of somebody doing that, as opposed to one time things. Wait, go ahead. We let JB talk. Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:24:22 There was a pattern of you doing these things. So it was early in the first quarter of the game. I said, oh, Adam, I left Devante Parker in the Big Burger League lineup. Can you swap him out for me? And he goes, oh, yeah, yeah. And then he goes, and before he said anything, I said, if you don't want to do it, I totally understand. And he goes, yeah, I don't think I could do it. I was like, okay, fine.
Starting point is 00:24:42 I get it. No problem. No big deal. I'm just giving a hard time about it. Yeah. All right. I wasn't going to do it. At first, I was like, yeah, I don't think I could do it. I was like, okay, fine. I get it. No problem. No big deal. I'm just giving a hard time about it. Yeah. All right. I wasn't going to do it. At first I was like, yeah, sure.
Starting point is 00:24:49 And then I thought about it. No, actually I can't do that. It's a little. All right. Anyway, let's go to our next fantasy cops here. This is from Scott. Dear fantasy cops. Week 14.
Starting point is 00:25:01 One QB league. Last place team has Will Levis, Lamar Jackson, and Jordan Love as their quarterbacks. The team they're playing needs to win this week to make the playoffs. The last place team is starting Will Levis over Lamar Jackson and Jordan Love. We really can't prove collusion, but if it looks like collusion and smells like collusion, it's probably collusion. I know Dan would kick the guy out of the league for doing this, but I guess there really isn't anything we can do about it.
Starting point is 00:25:25 What say you? What did he do? He's starting. He's starting. He's starting his work quarterback. Oh, he's not starting his best lineup. Yeah. Make him, I think, put him on blast a little bit and make him explain it.
Starting point is 00:25:41 I don't, I don't. So just to clear it up, though, because he says, I know Dan would say this is collusion. You kick him out. This is not what i consider collusion necessarily unless there's some kind of financial incentive tied to this and he is making a deal with the team he's playing and that's why he's playing this bad quarterback i think it's more you know collusion to me is when two teams get involved and they work together that's what it is what if they're friends and he says i'm going to start nervousvis so you can win? Yes.
Starting point is 00:26:05 I mean, that's collusion, right? Right. That's what they're expecting. I don't know if they're friends, but they're thinking that he's starting Levis for a reason. Oh, just to look. If it's, I mean, you still need to prove it, though. You still need to prove collusion for you. Level those high accusations and talk about kicking people out of leagues.
Starting point is 00:26:22 I don't think there's anything you can do unless you can prove it. I think it's fine to make him to ask him why you could ask him why. Yeah. Be like, why are you starting? We'll let us over Lamar Jackson here. And if he probably and Jordan love, and if he says,
Starting point is 00:26:37 and Jordan, what if she says, I got a feeling, then what do you do? I got a feeling about we'll have his breakout week. I mean, the last time we saw Lamar Jackson he scored 17 points
Starting point is 00:26:48 at the Chargers. So, if he gives you any explanation, just make him explain it. Make sure he has to put it out there. But I guess I'd probably just let it slide.
Starting point is 00:27:02 I don't know what else he can do. Man, we're being too nice today. All right, let's see what we have next on the Fantasy Cops. This is from Keith in Durham, Connecticut. I never knew that place existed. Hello, Jason, Taylor, Sidney, and Travis. Jason, Taylor, Sidney, and Travis. Taylor, Travis, Kelsey, and Swift?
Starting point is 00:27:28 Yeah. That would be the Christmas table at Donna Kelsey's house this year. Nice. Right now, I am 9-4. And what did I just do? I just made a mistake here on my document. Uh-oh.
Starting point is 00:27:39 I'm 9-4, and I have locked off a playoff spot. The number one or the number two seed depending on the weekend with a guaranteed buy in the first round of the playoffs. I lead the league in points, but the team with the second most points is in sixth place. With only first and second taking home prize
Starting point is 00:27:57 pool, I'd like to not play the sixth place team. So therefore, I want to strategically take players out of my starting lineup and not replace them with a player. I may lose the week, but I don't care. Then I would avoid the second leading scorer on my side of the playoff bracket.
Starting point is 00:28:15 So he's going to try to lose to get the two seed, basically. So he's not on the same side as the sixth seed. What do you think about this? Is this okay? The commissioner's offense has received the first grievance of the season. The complainant states, Team X is not fielding
Starting point is 00:28:31 a complete team. Oh, wait a second. Wait a second. I'm sorry. Let me back up. Just two weeks ago, our commissioner ruled as follows when a player didn't have
Starting point is 00:28:41 a fully active team. Team X is not fielding a complete team. Everyone has to have a full weekly roster have a fully active team. Team X is not fielding a complete team. Everyone has to have a full weekly roster, even if they suck. But he's saying, this wasn't a case of me being bad.
Starting point is 00:28:54 This is a case of me strategically losing for my own benefit. If the commissioner just said that, then you have to put, you don't have to put your best lineup out there, but you have to put a competitive lineup out there. So you can't leave holes in your lineup. You just put your worst players, Jeff. Obviously it's not a dynasty situation where you have a loaded team,
Starting point is 00:29:13 at least I assume. So redraft, um, just, you know, that's your decision. As long as you're putting competitive team out there, I think it's fine. I have a little bit of a different take on this. While I am a hard stance guy on collusion i do like when teams i'm the opposite on these like strategical type moves like last year when we discussed this on the podcast when i picked up a bunch of quarterbacks when i was facing an opponent who didn't have a quarterback like and then drop them and pick them like i like i'm a fan of like strategic moves that are within
Starting point is 00:29:41 the the structure who would he i already does but i'm a fan of uh moves within the structure. Who would? Heath. He already does. But I'm a fan of moves within the structure, that are within the structure. Like the commissioner creates this like rule, you want to call it, quote unquote. I'm using air quotes two weeks before, which is mid-season.
Starting point is 00:29:58 And it's supposed to like, I don't like rules that are created in season that are now supposed to be abided by that seem to be just decided by a commissioner here. So I don't really love the default there. But I think the big thing here is you got to adopt what my league does, which we're adopting this year, actually for the first time in these leagues where you have two teams, get the bi-weeks, the one and two seed, there is no distinction or there is no gift. I would call it a reward for being the one seed while there should be. So in our league, we allow the one seat to pick his matchup in the second round.
Starting point is 00:30:27 So you'll come in and you could pick any of the three teams based on the matchup, based on whatever you want. And so it doesn't get to the college football committee. Yeah, essentially. It doesn't get to the point though, where you're like trying to rig the matchup first round. So you don't get the six seed because you are a lot, you get some kind of reward versus the two seed.
Starting point is 00:30:44 You shouldn't be on the same level playing field. In my opinion, as the two seed, you earn the lot, you get some kind of reward versus the two seat. You shouldn't be on the same level playing field. In my opinion, as the two seat, you earn the one seat. So that's the reward. You pick your matchup in the second round. So this would avoid all that if you use that strategy. So propose that to the commission.
Starting point is 00:30:55 But yeah, you, you do have to set a lineup. You can't have empty roster spots. You don't have to set your best players. As Jamie said, can't have Luke Musgrave in your line. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:31:04 You need Durham Smythe instead. But, Dan, if you were going to pick the four, if you were the selection committee and you were going to pick the NFL four-team playoff, who would be in it? Dan, that's a fun question. So, I get to use my
Starting point is 00:31:19 criteria? It is unless people don't do it the right way, which we've encountered. Which we've encountered? Well, do I get to do it my way, or which way do I have to do it? Your way, which we've encountered. Which we've encountered? Well, do I get to do it my way? Which way do I have to do it? Your way. You're the selection committee. Pick the teams that deserve to go. Okay, so my way is the deserved way. No,
Starting point is 00:31:36 who gives you the best matchup? Not the deserved way. Oh, God. Get out of here with this crap. I don't do the deserved way. Florida State would not be in my four. I don't do the deserved way. I do the who gives you the best chance. Just pick your best four. I'm picking my best four. Exactly what Jamie just said.
Starting point is 00:31:48 I'm going with Kansas City, Baltimore, San Francisco, and Philadelphia. Yeah. So you put Kansas City in over the Lions, even though the Lions are a game better in the standings and have beaten Kansas City in Arrowhead. I want to see Mahomes. Yep. I want Mahomes in my playoff. Such a boring four. No, it's not. It's boring if we get Jared Goff versus Mahomes. That's what's boring. I want Mahomes in my playoff. Actually, to be honest, this year Mahomes
Starting point is 00:32:15 hasn't been that fun. Detroit is Florida State. Detroit deserves to be in. I know they're not one of the four best teams, but they deserve to be in. And what's Miami? Miami. Miami is a paper tiger. They do not deserve to be in And they get their asses kicked. Miami's the most fun team to watch. Every time they play a good team, they get whipped.
Starting point is 00:32:28 They get blown out by Green Bay at home. They played every tough team on the road. No, they didn't play every tough team on the road. They played a tough team in England. They played on a neutral site and they lost. That's their stadium?
Starting point is 00:32:40 Is it Kansas City Stadium? They played them on a neutral site and they lost. I don't know a better way to compare the two teams. We'll see. Look, they get Baltimore and Dallas in their building coming up. Good. They're probably going one and two in one and one.
Starting point is 00:32:55 You know, I'm not putting in the Dallas Cowboys who have lost every game against any tough team this year. I agree. They did not make my four. My four was Philadelphia, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Detroit. Oh, Detroit. I agree. They did not make my four. My four was San Francisco, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Detroit. Detroit. I know. Look, I know Detroit's unconventional. Nobody wants that, but I think they've earned it. They're 9-3.
Starting point is 00:33:13 Detroit has the worst call of all these teams that we've had. Because I'm not going by my opinion. I'm going by what's actually happened. Everybody else wants to pretend. So you're the type of guy who would have put Florida State in. Absolutely would have put Florida State in. They deserve it. And you know what?
Starting point is 00:33:27 You tell Jeff Hosteller and Nick Foles that they can't go to the playoffs. Oh, God. You gotta tell them. Yeah. Yeah. They would get destroyed. They'd be an eight and a half point underdog.
Starting point is 00:33:38 I remember saying... Who wants that? I remember saying, I said this on this podcast about a year ago. Mm-hmm. Something to the effect of the 49ers have no chance with Brock Purdy. I said that, and I think everyone agreed with me. And we had no idea how good Brock Purdy was going to be.
Starting point is 00:33:57 You cannot project your own opinions. You need to look at what has actually happened. But you saw two games of Florida State without Jordan Travis. We did. I saw one game with a backup quarterback. I saw one game with a third-string quarterback who wasn't even going to be in the equation. And by the way, in that game with a third-string quarterback
Starting point is 00:34:12 against the top 15 Louisville team, they won. They didn't even let Louisville score. 16-6. Yeah, who cares? Six points. 16-6. Six points, exactly. They held Louisville at six points.
Starting point is 00:34:22 Hey, let's see how they do against Georgia. Let's see how they do against Georgia. Right. Do we want it? Yeah. What happens when they get demolished by Georgia? I at six points. Let's see how they do against Georgia. Let's see how they do against Georgia. Right. Do we want it? Yeah. What happens when they get demolished by Georgia? I have a question. What's the spread?
Starting point is 00:34:30 Georgia versus Washington, neutral field. Probably similar. Six and a half. Who? Who's favored? Georgia. Georgia. Then put Georgia in over Washington.
Starting point is 00:34:39 See how that goes. That is fair. Then you can make the case that it is. Of course. Georgia has more of a case to be in than Florida State does. 100%. Yeah. But you could have said case that Georgia has more of a case to be in than Florida State does. A hundred percent. Yeah. But you could have said, well, I think Michigan, Alabama, Georgia and Ohio State are the four best teams.
Starting point is 00:34:53 You could have said that. And I would have been fine. Yeah. And people probably, you know, maybe you're right. Maybe they'll throw Texas in there or whatever. But that's not how it works. It didn't work that way for Washington, but it did work that way for Florida State. That's not fair.
Starting point is 00:35:04 That is a fair point, Adam. You have to be consistent with your reasoning. Do you realize that this has happened forever? No, it hasn't. Yes, it has. It has. Even when it was just the two teams. And it's been unfair. It's been unfair forever. It has been. I know that Florida State
Starting point is 00:35:20 is trash, Adam. I'm not trying to argue that this is fair toward Florida State. This is completely unfair to Florida State. I get that. What I't think I'm not. I'm not trying to argue that this is fair toward Florida State. This is completely unfair to Florida State. I get that. What I'm saying is I want the best teams in my playoffs so I can have fun and enjoy good games. All right. But if you were actually on the committee and actually had to do your job, I understand
Starting point is 00:35:33 I would never pick Florida State. I understand Florida State is not good. Your job is to put the best product out there for your product. No, it's not. It's not their job. Yes, it is. I don't know what their job is, Adam. That's 100% what their job is.
Starting point is 00:35:44 I don't think the committee is doing that. That's not what they should be doing. They should be picking the four teams that deserved it the most. And that's the way I approach the NFL assignment here, not just the four most entertaining teams. You know who would love this conversation? Who? Jason Alexander.
Starting point is 00:35:58 He's arguing about nothing. All right. Well, you got it right here, Jamie. The young version of him. There he is. Yeah, he's from Texas or something like that. All right. Here, you got it right here, Jamie. The young version of him. There he is. Yeah, he's from Texas or something like that. All right. Here are some emails.
Starting point is 00:36:09 This is from Andrew who got skunked by Zeke. That's what he said. I think skunked means... Oh, what does skunked mean? It means you get like shut out, right? Yeah. Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh. Isaiah Pacheco.
Starting point is 00:36:23 Not practicing. Did not practice? Okay. So where does that go? Does it go to McKinnon or does it go to CEH? Isaiah Pacheco not practicing okay does it go to McKinnon or does it go to CEH CEH I think Jamie where are you taking that Jamie's going to make roster moves right now I'm not no
Starting point is 00:36:37 I am curious though what your guys thoughts are on that situation because I did scoop up CEH in a couple leagues and then I looked at a couple reports and I was like it sounds like they're actually going to probably feature McKinnon and I'm a little worried about that. Where are you guys getting back? Yeah, they said it was like it was like a usage thing for him while he
Starting point is 00:36:53 was missing practices like a like a that day off type of stuff. Oh my God. I just went to pick up Clyde in a league and QB Dan 77 already rosters him. Which one is it? That's me.
Starting point is 00:37:08 That's not you. Yeah. That's, that's Jamie. Which league are you giving Dan 77 in now? When I played you, when you told the story, Oh God.
Starting point is 00:37:18 You want to know the worst part about that? Yeah. I'm not even making the playoffs. Oh man. Um, yeah, no, I don't think it's going to be McKinnon. I think it's going to be Clyde. I'm just worried about the red zone. And the game script.
Starting point is 00:37:35 Yeah, I don't think McKinnon's good. I don't think Clyde's going to be anywhere near as good as Pacheco. He just isn't. I just worry about the game script and the red zone touches. Like if this game turns into a shootout, are they going to see a lot of McKinnon? If McKinnon plays. Oh, man. Am I dropping Isaiah Likely for Clyde Edwards in there?
Starting point is 00:37:53 Yes, I am. All right. Okay. Anyway, let's move on. Let's read some emails. Go rapid fire here. Flowers, Elijah Moore, or Jaden Reed? PPR. Flowers, Elijah Moore, or Jaden Reed? PPR.
Starting point is 00:38:08 Flowers. Flowers. Who would you start at flex this week in PPR? This is from John. Javante Williams, Zay Flowers, or Jerome Ford?
Starting point is 00:38:21 Ford. If it's full PPR, I'll start Flowers. Just remember, Jaguars allow the most receptions to running backs Dave and Flint AJ Dillon or Romeo Dobbs PPR Dobbs especially if Jones plays
Starting point is 00:38:41 what if Jones doesn't play if Watson's out I'll still take Dobbs I'll go Dillon If Jones plays. What if Jones doesn't play? If Watson's out, I'll still take the top. I'll go Dylan. Full PPR. Giants have given up 20 or more points to running back in four of their last five games. So I'm only going Dylan if Jones is out in that scenario. This is from Raphael.
Starting point is 00:39:01 Dear Michael, Don, and Leon. Corleone? Oh. No. Not Leon. Leon. Corleone? Oh. No. No, no, no. Not Leon. Yeah, I know. Michael and Don. It was a good call.
Starting point is 00:39:12 I don't know what this is. Michael, Don and Leon. DeAndre Swift or Jerome Ford? Ford. Yeah, I'll go Ford too in that spot. DJ Moore, Zay Flowers or Calvin Ridley? DJ Moore. DJ Moore for me. Yeah, I'll go Ford, too, in that spot. DJ Moore, Zay Flowers, or Calvin Ridley? DJ Moore. DJ Moore for me.
Starting point is 00:39:29 Yeah, that one's easy. From Michael, three receivers, tight end and a flex. Pick one for the final spot. Drake London, Romeo Dobbs, Tee Higgins. London. I'll go London. London or Dobbs, but i'll go london or dobbs but i'll go london kevin skvansky just said i'm not going to name a starter at quarterback that's great thank you kevin this is from jason jared golfer justin herbert i am playing against laporta and amandra
Starting point is 00:39:59 st brown jared golfer justin Um, I got to go golf, golf on the road, golf against his bears defense right now. They got seven interceptions in their last two games. I don't feel good about what I've seen from Herbert and that chargers offense in the last two weeks. I think it's in a bad spot. Okay.
Starting point is 00:40:19 And this is from Jess S I have hurts. Jefferson Pittman, H and la la la la la la. Okay. Allts, Jefferson, Pittman, HN, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Okay. All right. Should he put anyone in? Should he make any substitutions? He has Jalen Hurts.
Starting point is 00:40:32 Okay. That's fine. Justin Jefferson, Michael Pittman. He can replace with Zay Flowers or Puka Nakua. Hurts, Jefferson, Pittman. He can get out. No, I think I'd keep that. Achan, Kyron Williams, he can replace with Zach Moss or Keaton Mitchell.
Starting point is 00:40:51 No. I think I like Moss. Over Achan and Kyron? I would put Moss in for DK Metcalf. DK Metcalf is his flex. I would bench Metcalf for Moss. Oh, I'm an idiot. Why? I meant to add Clyde last night in the league
Starting point is 00:41:08 for one of the Bears running back tonight. Took out the bid for some reason. Would you, would you, Jamie, you sign off on that? Sit DK for Moss, Moss over DK? I would, yes. Okay. Next up we have Matt from a city
Starting point is 00:41:30 way west of New York City. Way west. Los Angeles. There you go. Dear Mark, Joe, Marty, and Abdul. Mark, Joe, Marty, and Abdul. These are apparently jets mark gastineau joe klecko marty lions and abdul salam that's the uh what's the name of that yeah the defense attack or sack train what is it what do they call themselves i know what you're talking about they have a name
Starting point is 00:42:01 the new york sack exchange yeah thank you zach brooke sack brooke sack all right uh I know what you're talking about. They have a name. The New York SAC Exchange. SAC Exchange, yeah. Thank you, Zach Brook. SAC Brook. SAC. All right, Dacker Fields. Dack. Dack over Fields. Yeah, you can't bench Dack right now at all. Pick two.
Starting point is 00:42:20 Brees Hall, Zach Moss, Tony Pollard. Moss and Pollard. Yeah. Pick and Pollard. Yeah. Pick two wide receivers. Puka, Ridley, Brandon Cooks, Elijah Moore. I'll go Ridley and Puka. Who was it again? Puka, Ridley, Cooks, Moore.
Starting point is 00:42:41 Which Moore? Elijah. I'd go puka and uh cooks you know i'm changing mine to puka and elijah more flacco plays not if cooper plays though even even if i just think what flacco did last what i finally saw out of eli moore last week was exactly what i saw at old miss and why i was so excited about him as a prospect and i don't understand why he took like 40 games into his nfl career for someone to use him as a vertical and intermediate receiver it's just unbelievable to me when i see stuff like that happen because it was obvious on tape that he
Starting point is 00:43:16 could do it and just no co-chair or whatever seemed to get that out of him until joe flacco steps on a field those 500 yards what do 12 targets? How many targets did he have? He didn't really. He had 12 targets and four catches or something like that. He didn't make a lot out of him, but the usage was like where the average depth of target was was what was interesting to me. I think it's also for me
Starting point is 00:43:37 with Cooks, he's got the best matchup on the table. Yeah, and that offense is really good. So Cooks is probably I'm going to switch it to Pug and Cooks. But I think I might go Ridley if Lawrence plays. There's actually a lot of moving parts there. Yeah, but Denzel Ward's been there, and Ridley has not been great whenever somebody's been missing.
Starting point is 00:43:53 It's true. All right. And then the rest of this email is just some things from our show. Matt says, the cream is the best part of the Oreo. Obviously. Jamie's wry humor. He is the funniest on the show, and he has the best part of the Oreo. Obviously. Jamie's wry humor. He is the funniest on the show and he has the best hair. Adam owes the following.
Starting point is 00:44:12 Eating a full vomit flavored jelly bean boozle. A song with guitar and three lines in his head. The three lines in his head is beyond belief that we never got that. It really is. It really is. Glad Heath has come to a compromise for Halloween. I love Dave's na-na-na-na-na-na-na! And won't somebody get Dan a booster seat?
Starting point is 00:44:39 Also, I think Dan seems a little bit more zoomed out today so we can get more of the biceps in there. No, no. You saw what happened in the beginning of this podcast, Adam. I had issues, technical, difficult issues. Let's zoom this in a little more. Get a better shot. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:56 There we go. Okay, great. And this is from Brian. I'm in the playoffs, but playing for a bye week. I need to start too. Eckler, Kyron, Javante, Ford to Eckler, Kyron, Javante, Ford. Eckler, Kyron, Javante, Ford.
Starting point is 00:45:11 Kyron, for sure. And you need one more. It's four between. I still go Eckler. Yeah, I'm not going to bench Eckler for those guys when push comes to shove. And this is Dave. He says guillotine league pick a running back
Starting point is 00:45:29 a receiver and a flex uh running back would be eckler jacobs or pollard boy it depends on what the situation is if you're getting cut if you lose yeah safest floor for me is probably Jacobs or I would lean Jacobs for that. I would lean Jacobs. If you need to maximize points, because there are some guillotine leagues where this is not like a Final Four
Starting point is 00:45:56 or Final Five, and the most points win, then you're shooting for the fence. I'd probably still go Jacobs too. And then we need a receiver Michael Eckler Michael Eckler well you can maybe do both if you want but well probably not
Starting point is 00:46:11 Pittman, Ayuk or Devante Smith um god that's a tough one you need one how many yeah just one of those oh Pittman easy
Starting point is 00:46:24 like Pittman the volume there is why you probably of those. Oh, Pittman, easy. Like, Pittman, the volume there is why you probably have to go Pittman. Pittman! And now we need a flex. Ayuk, Devante Smith, Eckler, Jacobs, Pollard, whoever you didn't pick. Devante for me. Yes. This is from... Last one.
Starting point is 00:46:39 No name here. How would you rank these guys rest of season? Give me your top three damian pierce kareem hunt dalvin cook josh kelly jerek mckinnon clyde edwards elair oh that's a deep league it's a 10 team league believe it or not whoa since adam didn't send me his notes i'm gonna need you to reread those names though i did see them criticism last week about me not following the names usually we have notes we didn't have the notes today so um yeah can you hear me can you hear me all right you guys good
Starting point is 00:47:14 i can hear you all right uh damian pierce kareem hunt dalvin cook josh kelly jerek mckinnon, Clyde Edwards-Zuller. And we need to rank them all? Top three. Top three. I don't know if I see much of a distinction between any of those players. Can you do it again? I'm sorry. Oh, for God's sake. I'll do it.
Starting point is 00:47:45 Damian Pierce, one. Clyde do it. Damian Pierce won. Clyde Edwards-Hilaire, too. And I'll go with Josh Kelly third, just in case. Why would you not take Clyde first if he's starting? No, it's rest of season. How many games is he going to start? It's rest of season. Oh.
Starting point is 00:48:00 Yeah. Yeah, Pierce. Pierce is first, obviously. It's just a matter of, like, what do you do with the rest of that junk? I guess CH2. Yeah, put it in the trunk. I'm very, very over this question and I'm going to break now and then we're going to read YouTube comments
Starting point is 00:48:14 and we're going to move on. Okay, we'll be right back. Commercial break time. We'll be right back. Welcome back to our mailbag. As I sit here and watch our stream, I'm seeing some connection issues for me. So just in case,
Starting point is 00:48:29 I'm going to try to stay out of it as much as possible. I'm going to display a question, and I'll read it, and you guys can answer, and that's it. So should I pick up Damien Pierce and drop Amari Cooper? No, sorry. I got the wrong question there. No, no,
Starting point is 00:48:47 don't do that. Okay. Zach Brooke. I'm already cooler. If you could maybe display the questions, that would be great. I'm having some connectivity issues. I will sit this part out and Jamie and Dan can read your,
Starting point is 00:49:02 can answer some YouTube comments and Zach can display them. Go for it guys. Don't drop Pierce for Mark Cooper. No. Yeah. Now keep Cooper. He's coming back this week. All right.
Starting point is 00:49:17 Get some more going here. Oh, sorry. I said the opposite. I would drop Pierce for Cooper. Sorry. I said, all right.
Starting point is 00:49:22 Sit one Rashad white, Zach Moss or Tony Pollard. I'm sitting Pollard. I'll sit Moss. Pick two, Jaden Reed, Keaton Mitchell, Aaron Jones, Brees Hall, Zach Charbonnet. All questionable tags. They got me down. Hall's going to play.
Starting point is 00:49:41 Charbonnet, we don't know. Jones, we don't know. Mitchell's going to play. Jaden Reed's going to play. Sobonnet, we don't know. Jones, we don't know. Mitchell's going to play. Jaden Reed's going to play. So I have a hard time still sitting Breece Hall. Yeah. So he'd be one. And then... If Charbonnet plays, he'd be two for me, for sure. But not if Ken Walker plays, though.
Starting point is 00:49:58 Yeah. I think what I would probably do is wait out the Packers and make that decision, Jones or Reed. Okay. Over under 10 bicep curls by dan for a pre-show no i don't do listen i'm not what you're seeing is triceps you're not seeing any biceps here i don't do any biceps okay when i'm at the gym it's the one muscle group i never work out you get enough of it when you do back when you're pulling for back so you don't have to worry about biceps there's this bicep thing is overused it's overrated i'm not actually doing any biceps
Starting point is 00:50:25 here. I'm not showing off any biceps. Okay? And so there are no pumps before the show either. After the show is when you go to the gym. Four-point passing touchdowns. Jordan Lover, Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:44 Mahomes. Even though I think Love's going to have a big game. Start three, full PPR. Zach Moss, Devon Achan, Bijan Robinson, Travis Etienne, Joe Mixon, Rashad White. How do you have all these running backs? That's great. Nice team. So the three for me would be Rashad White, Devon Achan, and... Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:51:04 This is tough. Bijan. I'm going to sit Rashad White. Why are you throwing that question up there, Zach? That's on you, buddy. Oh, my God. I don't know what this question is regarding. C.H. or Charbonnet.
Starting point is 00:51:24 Man, if Pacheco's out... Yeah. I'm going to go C.H. or Charbonnet. Man, if Pacheco's out, I'm going to go C.H. No, C.H. if Pacheco's out as well. Oh, man. What's going on here? Let's do one more. Adam, are you all right back there?
