Welcome to Fantasy Football Today, presented by BetMGM, the sportsbook born in Vegas. I'm Adam Azer with a special mailbag guest, Heath Cummings.

What's up, Heath? I had a lot of questions after watching last night's game, and so I thought I'd just come on here and ask the experts. Are you familiar with the mailbag? Do you know how it works? Do you understand the concept? Yeah, I'm going to ask you guys questions, and you're going to give me answers.

And Dan will be on soon, and I think actually Jamie might be coming on. We're having a big party on the mailbag today. So we're going to get to your questions via email at fantasyfootballatcbsi.com. That's the letter I. Your questions via

Apple Podcasts. Please leave us a five-star review. This is a really good way to get your question answered. Leave us a five-star review and tell people why really good way to get your question answered. Leave us a five-star review and tell people why you like the show, and then you can leave your question, but don't ask for those ones. Don't ask questions involving Thursday night players because I don't read them.

I keep forgetting to take my glasses off for the show. I keep forgetting. Sorry. I'm all flustered. Are you okay? Yeah. I had something stuck in my throat. I've got a fun stat for you. Okay. Josh Allen has 42 pass attempts and 11 rush attempts on the season.

He had four games in his career before this year where he had at least 42 pass attempts and 11 rush attempts. Wow. Is that a Josh Allen is a bust tweet? No, I wouldn't say that. I, the bills offenses is really strange right now though,

but it wasn't that strange in week one. It was just strange yesterday or Thursday. Well, they threw a 24 passes in week one. Is that it? That's not a lot of passes. 23. I'd like to better when it was 24.

Yeah. All right. Well, it's more concerning for Dalton Kincaid, I think we'd have to say. Oh, yes. I just ate a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I scarfed it down in like three minutes before the show, and it's just scratching my throat a little bit. You like peanut butter and jelly?

Yeah, that's okay. I'm most concerning for Keon Coleman, but second most concerning for Dalton Kincaid. All right, let's do some news and notes here before Dan on the can shows up. Marquise Brown is on IR. So IR regretting drafting him. Tell you that.

What do you think about Xavier Worthy for the next at least four weeks that was really good uh that was a really good one um I at this point I'm pretty much just think that like my big concern about Xavier Worthy was that he was going to have to wait for something to happen to Marquise Brown or it was going to take him a while to figure everything out by the time Marquise Brown plays Xavier Worthy might just be better than him. It's disappointing. Do you think we're going to get to the point

where Xavier Worthy is started in more than two-thirds of leagues? Yes. On a couple of bye weeks when the Chiefs are not on a bye, I could see that happening. Not consistently, not week after week. It just depends. I really kind of think that Rushie Rice might just be like a dominant wide receiver one in this offense and Travis Kelsey is still going to see 15 to 20% of the targets and that would make it tough for Worthy. Did we ever get to a point in Christian Watson's rookie year where he was started in 67% of leagues? I'm not sure.

Cause that's the type of year I could see worthy happening where all year long he's scoring fantasy points. And I'm saying, yeah, but it's not sustainable. Right. All right. Well,

we'll see what happens. The next four games are the Bengals, the Falcons, the chargers and the saints. And then there's a buy. So hopefully after that buy, which would be week seven, we can get Marquise Brown back. Would you like to guess, Xavier,

where are these current start percentage? 60? 62. Oh, man. So I think we will get to a point where he started 67% of leagues probably on Sunday. I meant like he's going to be started consistently that way, but fair enough.

T. Higgins is out. I don't he's going to be started consistently that way, but fair enough. T Higgins is out. I don't know if officially out, but he didn't practice again on Friday. And I talked to this, I talked about this on FFT express with Dave, but Mike McDaniel, his press conference, it kind of seemed like they're preparing for an absence, not a one week thing for Tua. But what is your take on the dolphins passing game going forward with Skyler Thompson? Yeah, the impression I got was that just that Mike McDaniel didn't and it's the same way I woke up feeling like

Mike McDaniel didn't want to talk about that at all. He didn't want to talk about when Tua might play football again. He didn't really even want to entertain the questions. And so I think the only thing we can do is just say if skylar thompson is the quarterback there is a zero percent chance i'm starting jaylen wattle and i'm probably going to give tyree kill like three or four weeks as just leave them in my lineup and don't even think about it

i'm most interested with what happens to a chan and the way that teams defend the dolphins. Cause I think the too high shell coverage against them probably goes away with Skylar Thompson at quarterback. And then do we still see 18 dump offs a game to Devon a Chan? Or is he just going to touch the ball 30 times a game? Well, they played three games with Skylar Thompson starting and finishing in 2022, including the playoff game. And Hill and Waddle were horrible. Now, two of the games were against the Jets.

One was against the Bills. Tough matchups. But those guys were not good. Even Hill. And that sucks. And Dan's here. What's up? What's up, guys?

How you doing? Dan's been so excited to be on the mailbag today. I was. I had to rush back. I had to shoot that a little bit. Not great today. I did a quad on the last, on 18th for 96, so. Was it a snowman?

I'm thrilled. Yeah, a snowman on the 18th. I just really screwed up, got in the trap. It's okay. I had fun. It was a beautiful day out, and now I'm back in time for mailbag, and I'm talking some football, so. Great.

This is like the greatest weather this week. Unbelievable in the Northeast. It unbelievable in the northeast just just gorgeous uh yes we're here talking football yeah for the record for those who don't know who are listening and are going to make their comments i have fridays off that's part of the schedule so it's not like i'm skipping out on anything i'm coming back in time for a little bit of mailbag because i see the comments already building you know i think just let the comments go. There's no days off. Um, Dan, fresh off the course.

That's that's, there we go. Um, I just want to start like with an attack immediately. And it's not an attack. Dan, like I'm just asking the question because I, I've watched the first week of football.

I watched the first game of week two of football. And I'm really thinking like, was this early wide receiver madness with 30 wide receivers in the first four rounds, just like the dumbest thing we've ever done as a community. It might be the whole, the entire league is going to establish the run. Even the bills, even like the dolphins were running in situations where everybody would have been passing last year um and we've got all these wide receivers that we drafted in the first four rounds that are just going to be like yeah yeah i saw two crazy things he's this week about that

the first is that we're catching up faster than we ever had toward it being more positive epa to run the football than pass the football which should never happen it was more positive EPA to run the football than pass the football, which should never happen. It was more than double to pass in the past. I also saw just in 2019, the percentage of middle of the field close, which means a single high safety, which helps the passing game has dropped significantly, like 39% in just three years to split field safety looks. And it's almost impossible to go long.

So everybody just checks down. So I think you're right. Heath, the only thing that concerns me is like the whole reason why some of us don't love pushing running backs up is still, we're not going to find that out until a little bit later, because that's the anti-fragility argument. So right now, of course, it looks really bad, right? Guys like Joe Mixon are so much more valuable to your team than half the guys that we probably 12 receivers.

We took over him, if not more, but it's 12 receivers taken over Devon HN and James Cook. Right. There might've been 25 taken over Joe. Right. Right. So, so yeah, so it's, it's, it's something that we're gonna have to monitor throughout the season, but right now teams are just doing like, they're just not, they're not going to throw into bad looks.

They're going to either run the ball, like you said, or they're going to check it down which could lead to maybe more uh tight end and running back receptions last night we certainly saw that with hn look we talked about it though i mean we said we usually don't like going rbrb but this could be the year to do it and i said many times you have to zig when other people are zagging because you're getting rb you're getting rb 12 when people are taking wide receiver 17 or something like that in drafts you know so and and also we i mentioned many times i think we all agreed like you want to get two of the top 17 or 8 i always forget if it was 18 or 17 whatever it was camara mix and walker

were the last three in that group and then after that you had aaron jones james connor whatever but if you can get two of those guys you'll be in good shape uh so i think we actually approached it pretty well in our in our previews before the season we did point out that it was a little bit too wide receiver heavy hopefully things get better though because i saw i saw uh washington has the lowest pass rate over expectation through the first week at negative 30 percent in a game where they were down by, of course, their pass rate was expected to be pretty high when you're down by three

scores the whole game. And they just kept establishing it. You know, that was quarterback running though. Some of it, he was, but I don't know what people say that a lot. When I bring it up,

I don't know why that matters. No, because he dropped back to pass. They, Brian Robinson only had 13 carries. I think all Eckler had four. He dropped back to pass. He Robinson only had 13 carries. I think Eckler had four. He dropped back to pass. He just kept running.

Right, because nobody's open because their teams are taking everything away in the passing game. Oh, that may be, but they weren't just like, oh, let's hand off. We're down 17 or whatever. But, okay.

All right, anyway, let's move on here. We got emails to read. We've got bets to make.

It's Friday afternoon for us. If you're listening, it's Saturday.

Hope you're having a great weekend. Who does Wisconsin play this week? Bama. Oh. Yeah. I am just hoping they cover, but Van Dyke's our quarterback. How good can we be? He's all right.

No, he's not. I've showered on him already. Yeah. I started on him after the first game. I saw that. That was a shame. All right. Uh, this is from Dave and Flint start three and half PBR Rashad white, David Montgomery, Jordan Mason, and Jerome Ford,

Rashad white, David Montgomery, Jordan Mason, Jerome Ford. You have to sit one. I, I'm definitely not sittingason so we can rule him out uh sitting montgomery i almost yeah i i that's who you guys are benching yeah i was almost leaning um ford to sit ford's the one guy i'm dead ford's the guy i have ranked highest okay and i like his matchup.

Just think Montgomery gets the end zone. Okay. We can go Montgomery. You said it's not a great matchup against Tampa funnel defense. Uh, this is from chase. He says, dear Eric,

Eric, Eric, and Aaron, Eric, where's my Eric sound? Oh, here it is. Eric.

There we go. I need help deciding on my starting quarterback and my super flex in my full PPR super flex dynasty league. So we need two of these guys, Trevor Lawrence, Justin Herbert, Caleb Williams, and Nico Collins. I think Nico might be the best one in full PPR. Well, is it six points per pass touchdown or four? I don't know. Let's assume four to make it tougher.

I'd go Lawrence and Nico in four. I was leaning Lawrence and Nico. I don't know. I'm not starting Caleb in that bunch. So, yeah, I'll go Lawrence and Nico. I think I'd probably, I mean, I'm not starting Herbert either. Yeah, I'm not starting Herbert either. I mean, they can do whatever they want against the Panthers, though.

What do you think they want to do, Adam? Yeah. Above all other things. They can do both is what I'm saying. Derek Carr threw 20 passes and three were touchdowns, or whatever it was, 200 yards, three touchdowns. All right, this is from Robert. If we see a

leveled-off target share with the Lions receivers, similar to the Texans receivers in week one, should I be trying to move Jamison Williams when I'm already rostering Amon Ross St. Brown? What should I be looking for if I

trade Jamison Williams? Me, personally, the answer is no. I think when you can find these offenses that are tried and true and locked in, and today's NFL, as Heath kind of went over earlier, with everybody moving toward the run, which wastes time, doesn't score points. There's very few offenses scoring a lot of points. The Lions are one of them. I think they led the NFL in points last year.

So it can definitely be an offense. I think were the points per game cowboys cowboys okay lions are definitely up there two or three adam tell me where they were you can look fifth well that was a terrible take but you might be looking at offensive points and not total points so i will i'm talking about offensive i'll talk about i will look it up yeah the cowboys had seven pick sixes i definitely am not counting that that's fair yeah so that i definitely don't count but anyway point being they can support two wide receivers so i would take them both i would play them both there's gonna be very few matchups where you don't want to play them both in my opinion okay offensive points i hope we get a bounce back from monroe this week yeah we should get a bounce back from them on raw. San Francisco was one last year. Baltimore

two, Dolphins three, Cowboys four, Lions five offensive points per game. Even taking out the pick six is okay. Yep. All right. Next up. It's pretty close though. Next up, it's from Mark from the current number one foodie city

in the US. New York City. Is that right? Should be be there's no better place to get food okay literally whatever you want i just saw a ranking actually by an unbiased source on some one of these instagram things ranking the best food cities in the world all four of the first five were from another country and then the fifth one was New York city. Did you just cite some Instagram thing as an unbiased source? Yes, that was my source. But I felt like there's some validity when all the other four were not from another country. So it wasn't like just us ones, but yeah, it was not, not great sourcing. I got to tell you, I'm going to make some enemies here. I'm probably said it before, but I'll say it again. Like I love Chicago. Chicago is great. I think

it's a nicer city than New York city. And I love New York. it's a nicer city than New York City. And I love New York City. It is a nicer city than New York City. It's like a cleaner New York City without all the scaffolding. It's just like I love Chicago. Chicago food is garbage compared to New York City. It is. New York City's food is that good because I'm sure Chicago food is pretty good.

I've seen the bear, but Chicago food is nothing. I'm not even – Not quite the even, this is not a pizza debate. This is an everything debate. New York city food is unbelievable. Come up here, vacation here just for the food. Yeah. Agreed. There you go.

I've been to New York. Yeah. You went to like, didn't you have like Sparrows when you went or something? Dave took me to get some New York pizza. Oh man. You might've been twice. I spent one day walking around the city with my

son and my wife. Yeah, it was enough for me. Really? You didn't love it? I mean, I'm glad I got to see it. I might have to go back for work someday. Today, if I could go to the city,

when you have a nice weather day oh yeah when it gets nice and warm and you can just you really get the the warm garbage smell all the way up into your nostrils walking around the city it's it's really really nice and the ambient sound uh you don't even know oh i know I know. Like exhaust and garbage. You know what's a fun game? Noise. I walked the Brooklyn Bridge. You did?

Yeah. Here's a fun game if you ever go to New York City. Count to 15. See how many times, if you could ever count to 15 without hearing someone honk their horn. Very hard. I like that. It's like there's a million places in the United States,

maybe in Florida, that i would rather go if you just gave me a free weekend sometimes i think that heath and then like last weekend i'm brought back to like like a reminder of how good it can be like i went to see a concert at pier 17 adam have you been to that where is that so it's a rooftop right on the hudson right on the water and as you go up the stage is literally over like behind the stage. It's an open stage where the band plays it's right over the Brooklyn bridge bridge. So the background is the Brooklyn bridge. It's unbelievable. You're watching tourists, bike girls, and it looks like you're in, you don't even know where you are. And then when it gets

night, you're like looking to the left and right, just skyscraper skyscraper. So like I'm reminded in those moments, like, Oh, I can see an unbelievable band from an unbelievable location. And I guess I realize. And then we went and had Cat's Deli after we've been to Cat's. I've never been there now. Oh, my God, Adam. You got to go to Cat's. I mean, Cat's Deli.

That's the best pastrami sandwich by far. By far. It's not even anything. You don't even need like that. You can do the Reuben, but you just need the pastrami. My chemical romance or something like that. No, I saw J-Rad. I don't know who that is.

All right, here's the question. Joe Russo's almost dead. From, yeah, from Mark from New York. Dear Chris, Brett, Michael, and Matt. Those are Cardinals or Falcons quarterbacks. Oh, nice. I would not have gotten that. 12-team half PPR league. They're Falcons quarterbacks. Oh, nice. I would not have gotten that. 12-team half PPR league.

They're Falcons quarterbacks? Oh, yeah. Wait, who's Chris? Why am I missing Chris? Chandler. Oh, wow. Nice call. 12-team half point,

three receiver, one flex. I drafted A.J. Brown and then I took Devontae Smith in the fifth round. I traded Smith and Demarcus Robinson One flex. I drafted AJ Brown and then I took Devante Smith in the fifth round. I traded Smith and DeMarcus Robinson for tank Dell and Brian Thomas. What do you think of that trade? I'll give it,

let me give it again. Devante Smith and DeMarcus Robinson for tank Dell and Brian Thomas. Oh, um, I think I still lean toward the davante smith side i love it in dynasty yeah um well this is an fft dynasty heath i'm just saying you should listen on tuesdays to fft dynasty i'd give you an a plus for this trade um i think i'd still give it like a B minus. I'm a longtime listener. I used to call in every Saturday night.

Cool. I missed the guy that called in and wrapped his question, but forgot his name. Pat. Pat in Ohio. I wish I was here during the days where we had a call in part of the show. That sounds so fun. Yeah, we had a radio show. We used to do the show right in the CBS Sports Radio.

I can't believe that. The WFAN studio. That was probably so fun. But it was on your off day. It was on Saturday night, 10 to midnight. Friday? No, Saturday, 10 to midnight. This is a good tip by Robert Tondo, by the way.

Tip gets you samples at Cats. Yeah, because they make the food in front of you. They make the pastrami in front of you. So if you tip them, they'll give you samples of this unbelievable pastrami. I got an issue here with you guys. This is a bad trio. All three of us have access to the comments. This is a free-for-all.

It's a free-for-all. You're damn right it is. Someone just said, Dan, use your newfound host powers to your advantage. And I said, you know what? I will. Yeah? Did you put the cat's one tip up there? Of course I put that cat's one.

All right. This is from Trevor from a city two hours west of Ontario. I've been going to try that. You didn't even read it correctly. Trevor from a city two hours west of Toronto. Oh, my bad. West of Toronto. Oh.

Jamie's here. Another hometown host. I don't think Dan is good. Like, I think Dan is so bad at this. I don't think Dan is good. Like, I think Dan is so bad at this. I don't think he's going to get this reference. Okay. Dear Huey, Dewey, Louie, and Scrooge. Ducks, some kind of ducks thing.

Scrooge McDuck. You don't know the name of the show. Are you kidding? Huey, Louie, Dewey, and Stooge. Scrooge. Scrooge. Scrooge. The only Scrooge I know is that dude from the Christmas stories.

Yeah, Scrooge McDuck. It's DuckTales. I definitely don't know anything about DuckTales, no. All right, here's a trade. Give Amari Cooper and Jeff Wilson. Get Debo Samuel. A, 100%. Yeah. It's an A+.

From Jeremy in a town in Southeast Australia. Dear Bruce, Dan, Mark, and Mark. This one I know. Bruce, Dan, Mark, and Mark. Actually, wait. I don't know who Bruce is. Dan, Mark, and Mark feels like Dan Marino and Duper and Clayton. Was there a Bruce? Bruce Hardy. Bruce Hardy. I don't know him. is. Dan Mark and Mark feels like Dan Marino and the, and Duper and Clayton. Was there a Bruce?

Bruce Hardy. Sorry. I don't know him. Was there a tight end? Yeah, that's him then. You old man. I'm being offered Travis ETN and Amon Ross,

St. Brown. All right. Getting St. Brown and ETN giving up Derek Henry and AJ Brown. A plus. It's a PPD league.

Did you know what that was? I didn't want to sound stupid and be like, I have no idea. I think he left the one out. I think it's a point per first down league. So he says it's closer to non PPR settings than PPR. I don't think I love that trade then. Why? What's

the difference? Because I don't think AJ Brown is too far behind Amon Ross and Brown in that format, and I prefer Henry to ETN in that format. Okay, that's not a bad point. I don't love it near as much, but I'd still... Henry and ETN are basically the same guy to me, and ETN's

not ancient. He's on a much lower scoring team. Probably. We don't know that for a fact. Well, if he's going to keep fumbling when he goes into the end zone, then yeah, they will be lower scoring.

So Jamie, what's going on over there? You know, it's another busy day. You got Heath and Dan missed the Star Trek stuff from, from the Star Trek stuff. Did you explain, you explained it? I haven't spoken to trek stuff from oh my star trek stuff did you explain you explain it i haven't spoken to them about it yet but i'm sorry my god i have not laughed this much since i saw the wh space re shirt it's it it i had to walk off camera i was laughing so much

i'll show them i'll share a an image yeah i'm gonna get your shirt image show them your shirt first before you show the image well this is my shirt okay so you're going to Spock for Halloween yeah that is a weird shirt it's a little weird yeah hold on and then this is like the Star Trek shirt

so it's exactly the same that is a weird weird shirt so I saw it and I go you look like you're one of the characters on Star Trek that's about to get killed when they go to another planet It's exactly the same. That is a weird, weird shirt. So I saw it and I go, you look like you're one of the characters on Star Trek that's about to get killed when they go to another planet. And then Dave started Googling Star Trek phrases. And out of nowhere, he just yells, Khan! I lost it. Did you hear the setup for that?

No. I was laughing. Because I had mentioned that they were renaming Everbank Stadium Trevorbank Stadium. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And he goes,

oh, so they're doing that. I'm like, yeah, yeah. He goes, you know who's made that happen? Cut! It's very funny. Yes. All right, let's read

another email here. It was so funny. This is a Superflex question. Standard scoring, six point for passing touchdown. Superflex Malik Willis, Bo Nix, or Austin Eckler? I think it's Malik Willis, Bo Nix, or Eckler. I'm just going to go ahead.

I'm going Willis too, as crazy as that sounds, because he has such a low floor but the other two have such a low floor as well i'll go nicks i can't put nicks in the lineup he looks so bad on tape last week malik willis is average is 78 passing yards per start the hope is matt laflea's never been in a matliff floor offense and he's never had weapons i mean i doubt i doubt it's happening but i see almost no hope for bo nicks you have written off bo nicks as an nfl i've written him off before the draft i got before this point he scored 14 fantasy points last year because he had a random lucky rushing td is he going to do that every time that was that was literally half of his points yeah i i think

for me i just play the matchup like one guy's taking on Pittsburgh, one guy's taking on the Colts. Yeah. Oh, Jamie, red shirts die in Star Trek. I know, I know, but it was just like the shirt. Yeah, I get you. The design of the shirt. It's a bad shirt. It was a bad purchase.

And I don't want to give you so much credit that you're Spock. You're more like Bones. Sure. I don't know what that means. Did you say you're Spock. You're more like Bones. Sure. I don't know what that means. Did you say Bones? B-O-N-E-S? Yes. Yeah, damn right he is.

This is from Kevin. That shirt somehow makes you look even skinnier than you are, which is crazy. Almost impossible. Pukinikuwa manager. Wait, hold on. Do you think he bought this shirt himself or his wife bought it for him? His wife 100% bought this shirt for him. There's no chance that Adam bought a shirt in the last five years yeah i agree with that statement i think i'm shopping shopping on saturday and he was so happy about it too by myself yeah like you were in a store

yes i was in a store and you saw that shirt shirt. Uh-huh. Yeah, it looked good. I'm going to give them some money. It's a nice shirt. It's not a bad shirt. It's just... First of all, as I told you, it looks like pajamas. It's not great, Adam. It does look a lot like pajamas. The neck's weird.

It's tight. It's not great. No, the neck's not weird. It's different. The neck is 100% weird. It's not great, dude. And it's only going to get smaller and smaller every time you wash it. This is tough.

No, it's shrunk already. It's going to shrink again. You've boldly gone where no man should go before. And you should beam yourself back to the store and return it immediately. I think it's too late for that. But all right. Should I add Tyler Johnson

and drop any of these guys in a.75 PPR league? these guys in a.75 PPR league. Bazinga. For those listening, sometimes I feel like we just laugh and it's like because we're seeing things. Somebody put on the screen, Gamer Eric, shout out. He said Adam looks like Sheldon from Big Bang Theater. Wait, somebody put on the screen?

Oh, I did, yes. Alright, the question is, would you drop Nick Chubb, Josh Palmer, or Chuba Hubbard, or Tajay Spears for Tyler Johnson? Nick Chubb, Josh Palmer, Chuba Hubbard, or Spears? No. If you're desperate at receiver? Like desperate, like you have to start Tyler Johnson?

No, he only has to start one receiver, three flex. I could be open to dropping Chuba Hubbard. Yeah. I would start Josh Palmer over Tyler Johnson this week anyway, so I would just start Josh Palmer. Agreed. And also Kevin says, by the way, I think there's not much difference between yours and Dan's

tennis game. Maybe just improve your serve? What? He lost 6-2-6-0. It's really strange that they think you need to improve your serve and compare it. Like, that was the thing that Dan had the edge on. He had like 17 double faults. He served underhand half the time.

No, he only had a few. No, I only did that twice, but it was bad. But I did have a few. But look, he lost 6-2, 6-0. The proof is in the pudding. The stats tell the story. It's going to be a different story next year. I'm just letting you know.

Next year, a lot's going to happen. We're going to have Heath and Jamie announcing it, first of all. I'm excited for that. No, you've got to do something different than tennis. I want to see you next year. A lot's going to happen. We're going to have Heath and Jamie announcing it. First of all, I'm excited for that. No, you got to do something different than tennis. Like I want to see you guys wrestle. Oh, come on.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, All right, let's go to JW here. Just real quick, though. Adam already has his wrestling outfit on. He doesn't even need to buy anything. If Dan is telling the story, we will be here until next year. That's true. You want to get into that? Dan, you got 10 seconds to give me an answer on the tweet that we're about to read. Uh-oh.

35 seconds into the answer. I'm throwing my hands up in the air. Heath is leaving the room. Production staff, this is on Wednesday's CBS Sports Network show. Dan just would not stop talking. I have an issue. He doesn't do time. I'm working on it.

He doesn't do time. I'm going to therapy. I'm working on it. I'm trying my best. All right. You know what? To be I'm trying my best. All right. You know what? To be fair, that Thursday show performed really well. Or that Wednesday show, whatever it was.

It was like the most watched video ever. I can't believe people that cover sports for a living could be so unathletic. What? We were not that unathletic. I think from a distance, from that view, it might have looked it. But I think a lot of people were actually surprised by how much athleticism we had on that day. Which is not a great thing. The bar was so low.

He called you a slob. He's even saying that, Heath. I'm glad you got the laugh. I got to read these two. I got two more emails here, and then we got fantasy props. I got a lot of Heath. That's all I need. This is from JW. Half PPR. Pick three starters. Henry, Kamara, Mason, Jacobs,

Brian Robinson. Pick three. Mason if McCaffrey's out. Mason's a lot if McCaffrey's out. Henry. I'll go Henry, Mason, and Jacobs. I will go Henry, Mason, and Kamara. I'm sitting Brian Robinson. And if Mason's out, or if McCaffrey's back, then it's easy.

You just sit him too. I would be Jacobs over Kamara. If Mason's out, then Jacobs is in. I mean, excuse me, if McCaffrey's in, then Jacobs is in. You get it. Yeah. Should I trade

away from Brandon? Should I trade away Jamison Williams for Chris Godwin? Yes. Yes, but intrigued by this Jamison Williams development. He looked really good out there. So did Godwin, though. Yeah. And I don't think

there's going to be many weeks where Amara St. Brown is targeted less than Jamison Williams. Yeah, all right. And Laporta, for that matter. Did they even combine for as many targets as they probably did yeah uh Jameson had nine and Amaro St. Brown at six okay and Laporta had four catches so yeah four catches on only two targets though all right we'll be right back we've got the fantasy cops we got your apple podcast, your YouTube questions all coming up right after this on Fantasy Football Today.

Yeah. League disputes. Marital disputes, perhaps. Let's see what's going on on the Fantasy Cops. This is from, I'm sorry, I don't have a name on this. Dear Luke, John, Mark, and Matthew. Feels very biblical to me. You nailed it. Yeah, there we go.

12-team PPR league. My wife, whose team I completely manage, decided to join this year because the commissioner, my brother, was going to close the league because one of the teams left, and unless we found a replacement, he wasn't going to go through the trouble of finding a replacement.

So he just says, all right, my wife will join and he's completely managing her team. My question is this, would it be illegal for me to make trades with her, parentheses B, if the players I'm trading are reasonable for both teams? If she wins and vice versa? Of course this would be

illegal. This is the definition of collusion. Did the person sign this? i don't have a name i can i can find the name this is very funny oh yeah are we gonna put up are we gonna put up for fantasy cops any of the recent uh developments from our own staff this is from will by the way what do we mean adam yeah of course i mean adam we are what a what a shady shady shady shady stuff going on from adam and the big burger Will, by the way. Everyone's not meeting Adam? Yeah, of course I mean Adam. What a shady, shady, shady stuff going on from Adam in the Big Burger League. Not on purpose. That was one of the worst things I've ever seen. Oh, come on. It was not on purpose.

But you still allowed it to happen. I made a mistake. I didn't realize. I put waivers on for Tuesday instead of Wednesday. Did you switch it back up? Here's the thing. The waivers would have came over from the last year's league. So you had to have changed it at some point. Yeah. Legally.

I would assume it was Monday. Well, you probably did it on Monday. Or you probably did it Tuesday morning or whatever it was the morning of. No, I know exactly. I think I know what happened. Remember Sunday? Sunday waivers were on. And it's supposed to be free agency on Sunday where anyone can pick up anybody.

So I went into the league settings, and I changed that. And I must have, for whatever reason, saw that waivers were off on Tuesday and said, oh, I don't know why that's not on. So I probably clicked the checkbox for Tuesday, and I screwed it up. You know what they say, right, Jamie? When someone's that defensive usually means they're guilty. I am guilty, but I'm guilty of stupidity. But you could have easily fixed it And you didn't

I can't fix it First of all, this is the Dynasty League Nobody good on waivers anyway There was Jeff Wilson We didn't know the outcome of how it was going to turn out Oh, I'm sorry Would you like me to give you Jeff Wilson now? No, but I would have liked the opportunity to bid on him

If I so choose I wanted to cheat so bad in the YOLO Dynasty League This preseason when I realized that there's a button that's not clicked and we don't have secondary position eligibility. And we just changed Micah Parsons from strictly linebacker to linebacker and defensive lineman. And I have Micah Parsons. I was like, I could probably just change it and nobody would notice. I would have done it for you. Adam thought nobody would notice too.

I don't even think I got it. Jamie's a hawk. If you do anything, Jamie's right on you. All of a sudden I look, I'm like, because I have my league separated. Tuesday night, Wednesday night, waiver. And I'm like, wait a minute. Did I miss something? Did Adam check?

No message? Nothing? I'm sorry. It was a mistake. Did Dan lose weight or does his head just look bigger his head got a lot bigger after that tennis match i did not like that one by the way that was not me all right youtubers chill out we are gonna have not chill out but uh we'll have your questions soon here's uh doug from a city west of Los Angeles. Alcatraz. Okay, that works.

Hey, Stan. No. Hey, Stan, Kyle, Kenny, and Eric. South Park characters, we did it. DuckTales. We had a trade in our league of Jordan Mason for Christian McCaffrey straight up after week one. Hold on. Easy, easy.

The commission immediately vetoed the trade. Several members of the league pushed back, including the McCaffrey manager who initially proposed the trade, citing that he doesn't believe McCaffrey is going to play or play much this season. We have no reason to believe there was conclusion. Should this trade stand?

Mason for McCaffrey. Well, it's interesting. Conclusion. Here's the thing. This is where it gets to the interesting. Ah, well, it's interesting. Conclusion. Conclusion. I'm sorry. Here's the thing. This is where it gets to the interesting. Some of us, like their managers, their commissioners who believe only if it's collusion, should a trade be vetoed. And that puts us in a tricky spot here because yes, this one manager who owns McCaffrey is like, I just know he's going to get injured.

He's got, it's like, it's that feeling that some managers get about their injured players. Like, just trust me. He's going to be injured all year. There's no like evidence about it. There's no reports. It's just his own feeling. He doesn't want to deal with this injured player, but it does really affect the balance of the league, like competitive balance of this league, especially if Mason only ends up playing one more week. So it's like that tricky spot. I personally believe you let it go through. And then I've said this before on the show, it's very harsh, but you remove the manager who traded mccaffrey next year if you want to keep the league competitive yes i do believe that no it's up to you you don't have to have a competitive

league you can keep going forward and have just like bonkers trades that ruin the competitive balance year after year and that's fine or you remove the managers who do things like this you have two choices two choices you let the trade stand damn it like this. You have two choices. Two choices. You let the trade stand. Dan was not a lot of friends. Or you kick them out of the league for collusion. And that's, Jamie,

do you remember the trade? Cause I always bring this trade up. How do you kick them out? Do you remember the trade that like somebody quit one of our leagues over like eight years ago that you made? It was like the last year of Jamal Charles. It was the year Devante Freeman was the RB one overall. Yes. And you made a It was like the last year of Jamal Charles. It was the year Devontae Freeman was the RB1 overall. Yes. And you made a trade with somebody after week one, I think.

I traded for Jamal Charles. I traded Devontae Freeman. It might have been, what was the receiver for Carolina that was good as a rookie season? Kelvin Benjamin? Yeah. Kelvin Benjamin. I traded Devontae Freeman, Kelvin Benjamin, and somebody else.

And they were all good players. They weren't scrubs for Jamal Charles. That team had Jamal Charles. What was the issue then? Somebody got all pissed off that I was trying to do something because of my job to somebody who's just a casual fantasy player. At the time the trade was made, Kelvin Benjamin was a very questionable

prospect who had played, I think, one game. Devontae Freeman had one good game. And Jamal Charles had been the best running back in football, like Christian McCaffrey, basically. Right. And Charles was like, the way this league works, Charles was like a, it's a weird thing. But anyway, he was a top five pick, top six pick.

And then immediately, Jamal Charles tears his ACL, and Devontae Freeman goes on to be the best running back. I would not overturn this trade. I think it's fine. Mason for McCaffrey. And I'm not kicking anybody out of the league. And the McCaffrey manager is not trying to ruin the league. He's just, he has

a feeling that McCaffrey is going to get hurt because he's got a calf injury. He's already hurt. And an Achilles injury. I got to make a call today on a trade. I'll see what you guys think. I have Jordan Mason. The McCaffrey manager has offered me Zay Flowers for Jordan Mason.

My running backs, it's Saquon Barkley and nothing else. The problem is that I have my three receivers. My top three receivers are Jalen Waddell, T. Higgins, and Puka Nakua. Wow. Oh, boy. So I'm in trouble. So I think I got to make the trade, rightee Higgins, and Puka Nakua. Wow. I'm in trouble. I think I've got to make the trade, right? I think you have to make it based on your situation.

If Christian McCaffrey comes back, Flowers is much better than Jordan Mason. It's not just that. If Skylar Thompson's playing the rest of the season, Waddell is yikes. Yeah, you've got to do it. All right. Where are we here on the Fantasy Cops? I'm very nervous about that situation. You guys talked about that earlier today.

Yeah, we did. Let's go to Tim. It says, go Bills. Hey, Fred, CJ, Boobie, and Carlos. Yeah, those are Bills running backs, right? Oh, Boobie Dixon. Yeah, nice. Nice.

I got to go. All right, see you guys. Bye, Dean. Nice. I got to go. All right. See you guys. Bye, James. James is going to do CBS Sports Network. Commissioner in my league added a punter to the rosters before the draft. He gave a heads up in the ample amount of time. I messaged the league and said,

I don't think anyone wants punters deciding outcomes, especially since probably none of us can name a punter off the top of our head, much less predict who will be good week to week or season long. So I asked for a vote. Instead of a vote, the commissioner compromised by nerfing the scoring, whatever. In week one, punters scored a range of zero to five points. And Riley Dixon on Denver got nine on the waiver wire.

Okay, pretty harmless, hopefully. Maybe one game gets decided by a punter this year, which would suck. Anyway, after week one, commissioner says the punter scoring was too low so he's raising the scoring setting on punters it doesn't change any previous outcome but now riley dixon would have scored 14 points instead of nine that's more than most tight ends luckily i've added dixon off waivers but i'm messaging the league like commish can't be changing scoring settings during the year. His response is that he changed the rule because of my worry preseason that punters, that nobody wanted weeks decided by punters.

So he's putting punter scoring back to normal now. Oh, no. Yeah. Should I leave the league? Even if you don't respond on the podcast, I'd love to forward your opinion and thoughts to the league. We are responding on the podcast. Yes.

What should Tim do about this punter situation? So the first thing is hopefully you're playing on CBS where you can start a league poll. And I would just put a league poll up questioning if the commissioner should be removed from office. And if you can get a majority of votes to remove him from office and then just have a new election for a new commissioner um i would not want to leave the league you can't change rules in the middle of the season no like if you want to stand by his guns and have punters deciding leagues okay you can decide whether you want to play in that league or not but if he's changing rules after week one he has to be removed from office i mean yeah you can't change rules in the season. And there are dark moments in every fantasy season, injuries, things that happen with your players.

I can't think of a darker moment than having to waste time digging through a waiver wire because my punters on a bye week. I mean, this is an absolute disaster. Imagine losing on Monday night or something because of the opposing punter. You know, that's just awful. I'm losing understanding of how anyone would want punters in a league. Yeah, well, you know that's just i mean i'm losing i'm losing understanding of how anyone would want punters in a league yeah well you know they do punt they do i don't i don't want it but they do punt you know they they do something god it's good for them but uh what was i gonna say um oh oh yeah you can only change things kicker special scoring for landing it in that between

the 20 and the one this new whatever the zone is called yeah the landing zone the landing zone landing zone points that's the best if you can kick it in the landing zone and then it bounces in the end zone for a touchback it comes out to the 20 and nothing wow all right thank you for your fantasy cop submissions we appreciate it let's get some apple podcast questions here. This is, I don't have a name here. Dear John, Emmanuel, Frederick, and Renee. Oh, those are famous philosophers. They are. Yes. How'd you know that? You know, I've been reading. Good job. Start three. I probably said Renee wrong. I don't know these philosophers. I like that you did the little spiel at the

beginning of the show about how you don't read questions if they have Thursday Night Players in them. Well, I don't want to. I'm trying to move forward with that. But start three in full PPR. Alright, we're going to say he started James Cook, so start two. Jacobs,

Jerome Ford, Brian Robinson, Ramondre Stevenson. Would be Ford and Jacobs for me. Yep, I'm on board with that. I could probably consider Robinson just because I like that matchup a little more than most, but it would be over Jacobs, but I would roll with Jacobs. This is a good time to ask.

Permission to speak freely. Am I more of an idiot for drafting? No Devon HN this year, or a genius for drafting all of the James Cook this year. Genius for drafting all the James. Yeah. Yeah. I feel like Devon HN is just going to be the number one. I mean,

look with James Cook, it's like, how did we not all kind of think that there was going to be some touchdown regression? I know there was, we were scared of Davis in the red zone and Alan, the red zone, but like,

there's going to be some touchdown regression there, and then that would be all he needs, really, to be top 12. So I think that might even – what's the ceiling now with James Cook if he starts scoring touchdowns? I need a one-yard touchdown yesterday. Right, which we never got. Yeah, it's great. And I just love the fact they gave him a carry on the one, and it worked.

Coaches seem to be so influenced. Yes. Right, and I love that post-game interview josh sounds like this was on our minds like i was thinking about i was stealing a lot of those touchdowns from him and now he's got his that's interesting all right from team r10 i need to start chris olave but should i be looking for a possible trade two targets in week one makes me nervous. I just yawned and passed over that box score. It wasn't a real football game. Yeah. Yeah, no, I think he should be okay.

Hopefully he bounces back this week. He was one of the guys that we didn't seem too concerned about of the second round pick wide receivers that struggled. From Golfers, Golferx88, Justin Fields or Brock Purdy? Purdy for me. Purdy.

Lewis on Apple Podcasts is in a fab league and he bid on Isaiah Likely. He bid $12 and he won the bid. But the only person, only one other person bid for him and his bid was $2. So technically I overpaid by $9 for Isaiah likely he,

by the way, he has Trey McBride. Um, but then I see that Alan Lazard went for 16 and Madison went for 12. So I think I made a good deal. My other bench player. Uh, it's okay.

But did I make the right move paying $12 for likely when the highest bid, the other second highest bid for him is two bucks. No. Yeah. Clearly. I mean, after the fact we can say no yeah i think you i think you did the right thing oh i said no yeah but i disagree with both of you okay good for you i think i think you did the right thing i mean we were saying to spend more than that on isaiah likely i mean he if you weren't on the waiver wire show so maybe you felt differently but we were saying to spend more. Yeah, but you got to know your league. How?

Yeah, but. What do we really think, Isaiah? Like, I think Isaiah likely is a top 12 tight end this week, but we don't actually think that Mark Andrews is in trouble. No. So we don't think that likely is going to be a weekly needle mover. Probably not. I don't know. I think it's probably not, but i think you can't ignore the possibility and if i feel like we're running low on weekly needle

movers at that tight end position in general that's why you have to get likely if he has an even possibility of being that then you know i like that logic adam okay oh should i rerun the isaiah likely or dalton kincaid rest of season poll? Wait till Sunday. The answer was that people voted for Likely, right? No, everybody voted for Kincaid and told me I was an idiot for asking the question. Okay, nice. It was like the Jalen Hurts-Trey Lance poll back

in the day. I don't remember that one. What was your Jalen Hurts-Trey Lance poll? I even wrote an article about it. It was when I was arguing for Jalen Hurts over Trey Lanson Dynasty. Oh, wow. Go get that win. Good for you.

We only remember the wins. Yeah. This is the James Cook, Jalen Hurts block for Heath. You asked me to come on. You're not entertained? Dan, Adam Sandler was in South Orange filming Happy Gilmore 2, according to Andrew. Andrew, not only was he in South Orange,

he was actually in Morristown, where I live, at a coffee shop. I'm so mad I missed him there. And then he also had a, you know, not tryouts, whatever it is, auditions. You could be in Happy Gilmore. Oh, that would have been so cool to be there. Yes.

All right, here's the question from Louis. Oh, wait, no, we already got the question from Louis. Sorry. Oh, let's go to YouTube. YouTube, what's on your mind? What's on your mind? Here we go. Half PPR, wide receiver two and a flex.

Give me two of worthy, Metcalf, and neighbors. I've got these three guys ranked within about four spots of my rankings. I think 29 to 33 this week. I would go neighbors and Metcalf. Neighbors and worthy for me. Yeah. You know what? Yes.

I'm tired of telling people DK Metcalf struggles against good cornerbacks and not being bold enough about it to put it. Yeah. So let's, let's do it. So let's sit him for the guy who had three touches last week. Yeah. Yeah,

exactly. Uh, Aaron Jones or Chris Olave half PPR. Oh, I do not like Aaron Jones jones this week chris olave especially if you're talking about oil of olave yeah josh downs has a chance to play this week by the way why don't you like aaron jones he's against the niners i think the 49ers are pretty good and i think the new york giants are pretty terrible. And so Aaron Jones' good performance against the Giants does not make me in a game with a positive game script, does not make me

feel good about Aaron Jones in a negative game script against a good team. Not wrong. Prescott or Stafford? Dak. Yeah, Dak. What's on Dan's mind is the question. Nothing right now. What's on my mind is how the question. Nothing right now. Uh,

what's on my mind is how I ended my round with an eight and I'm really not three, three putt on that eight or even worse, got in a bunker and took me two to get out. Really rough stuff. That's terrible. Topped it off the tee. Had some weird,

weird, weird, weird, uh, yip moments today. You ever get those Heath when you used to play? Oh, yes.

So I not, that wasn't something i struggled with a lot okay um but i haven't i don't play much anymore so yeah yeah it happened occasionally usually with my wedges if i was gonna have a problem with their wedges i'm talking about off the tee because those kill you no no, no. It'd be more like hosling a wedge. I'll say this as somebody who has his own podcast. We should cut the golf talk right now because people hate golf talk. Do they? Yeah. I just wish he'd had a live stream of that 18th hole.

Yeah. I just went on Twitter and did some searching for things I'm interested in right now. I was not listening at all to that golf stuff. That's good. It wasn't interesting. George Pickens, DK Metcalf, Drake London, Josh Palmer. We need two. London and

Pickens. Pickens and No, I think I'm going to go Metcalf. I'm going to go London and Metcalf. I'm going to go London and Metcalf. I'm going to go London and Metcalf. Brian Robinson Jr. or Ford? Half PPR.

Half PPR. God, I really like Brian Robinson Jr. It's more golf. I'll go Brian Robinson. Ford. Yeah, I think it'd have to be Ford. I like the game script for Robinson.

Christian Kirk or Jamison Williams? Jamo for me. Kirk. Especially, he says his opponent had James Cook, so you need to go upside. I don't do that. I do not. After Thursday, I mean, one of your guys in your lineup

might score 25 points, you know? If he had done that on Thursday, would it change the way you... No, no. Some people do.

I think it's fine. I don't like to... Like, if I had played A-Chan and Cook, okay, maybe. But I just set my lineup and I don't even

worry about that. J-Mo or Terry McLaurin? Half PPR. I mean, great matchup for... Uh, JMO or, or Terry McLaurin, half PPR. Uh, I mean, great matchup for Terry at the same time. God, that cliff King Kingsbury offense looked awful to watch on tape.

Terry was lined up at the, at the X, the entire game, no movement into the slot, no easy looks just as bland as it can get. I'm going with J-Mo. I'll go Terry. I think people will be surprised at how poor the passing game works,

even against the Giants defense this week. Comparing Christian Gonzalez to Patrick Sertan is criminal. Y'all are nuts. Gonzalez's playing great football right now. It's still crazy. Not crazy. It's still not there, but Gonzalez's playing really good football. Yeah, I don't think anyone is Sertan.

I think Sertan is even better than Gardner to me. He's just the best. I would agree with that. But Gonzalez did a really good job on Chase. I watched every route for Chase. He was not on him every route, but he did a really good job. I remember thinking he was pretty good last year.

So he hasn't played that much because he got hurt early last year, but he's certainly something to keep an eye on. He could be one was pretty good last year. He hasn't played that much because he got hurt early last year. He's certainly something to keep an eye on. He could be one of the real emerging stars. Greg Dortch or Jaden Reed? PPR. I'll go Dortch. It's full PPR, yeah.

Mason, Williams, or Mixon? Mason. Oh, no, no. Sorry. Mixon. Mixon. Mason. I'm not benching Mixon after that. If you had both of those guys, sorry. Mix and mix them. Mason. I'm not benching mixing after that. If you had both of those guys, could your team be the Mason mixing line?

That's a good team name. That's a good team name. Did you get my Mason? I have mixing in a league and I almost traded for Mason this week. Okay. It was the rock. Uh, let's see. What do we got?

Debo Samuel, JK Dobbins, or Brian Robinson, Jr. Debo., JK Dobbins or Brian Robinson, Jr. Debo. Okay. Dobbins. Great team name.

Heath. Thanks, Eric. Eric also wants to know, rank these three quarterbacks, Daniels, Baker, Dak,

Dak, Daniels, Baker for me. Agreed. Start two in half PPR. Christian Kirk, Demarcus Robinson, Tyler Lockett, Brandon Cooks. Kirk and Robinson. I'll go Kirk and Lockett.

If you were going to have a kid named Brandon, how would you spell it? Because Hondo here spelled it B-R-A-N-D-O-N, which I've never seen. D-O-N would be mine. Wait, you're a D-E-N? Yeah, I'm a D-E-N guy. No. D-O-N is by far the most common. If anything, it's a D-A-N.

And Brandon's is D-I-N. So your options are basically O-N or A-N. You're right. It is O-N. Oh, yeah, that's right. But it's a matter of like you just can't throw an E. Nobody spells it with an E. No.

Yeah, you're right. You're right. Now that I'm seeing it, you're right. Yeah. It's weird. It would be O-N. A or O. A.

Or I. An I works. I is pretty cool hey brandon yeah brandon cooks is with the i put a y i look jonathan says i know a brandon i like that that's pretty cool yeah you know what i do new age that's the new age spelling i would do why all right let's uh start three or sit one chase Chase, London, Worthy, Cooper. Sitting Worthy. Yeah. Sit Worthy. A few more here.

Pollard or Robinson? Half PPR. Robinson. Pollard. And who do I flex? Pickens, Ridley, Spears, or Javante Williams? Pickens. Or Mason, he says. Mason would be the answer if McCaffrey's out.

Pickens, Ridley, Spears, or Javante? I go Pickens. I'll go Ridley. All right, guys. What's his name? Calvin Ridley got dropped in one of my leagues. Let's keep my fingers crossed that he will make it to me.

He probably won't, but we're working on it. Have a great weekend, everybody. Talk to you Sunday morning. See ya. Paramount Podcasts.
