Starting point is 00:00:00 You know, some trips are just better when you can really unplug. Spend time with family, see friends, or hit the course with the guys on our yearly golf trip. This year, me and the boys stayed in a home on Airbnb, which happened to be a guest favorite, and it was right on the course. We could walk straight to tee off every morning, and it was just a short stroll to the local shops, bars, and restaurants. Staying in a place on Airbnb gives you plenty of room to spread out, cozy living areas to hang out in, and all the privacy you need. somewhere like that makes everything feel more like a home that a hotel.

So whether it's family, friends,

Starting point is 00:01:38 This is going to go the distance. Now here's some combination of Adam, Dave, Jamie, and Heath. It's mailback time. What's up, everybody? Welcome. It's Friday, November 14th. You might be listening on Saturday. And we're hoping you're having a great weekend.
Starting point is 00:01:56 Dan's got his Irish butter coffee thing going on. on there. Carry gold life. There it is. There it is. Jamie's got, I don't know, a dog barking somewhere in the distance. Yeah. All right, we're all good.
Starting point is 00:02:09 We're ready to go. How are you doing, Dan? Good. How about you guys? I'm having a great day. Why? Nothing in particular. Just woke up in a good mood.
Starting point is 00:02:19 I really shouldn't be. It's cold out and I can't golf anymore these days. So I shouldn't be happy. But I am. I am happy probably because I didn't have to watch Giants football on Thursday. And I'm not even worried about this Sunday. It's James Winston time. All right.
Starting point is 00:02:31 I'm excited. I'm not. To an extent, yes. This could be a debut. This could be a little bit of like a weird debut for the next Giants head coach, Packers' defensive coordinator. This happened last year with the Bears. We'll see.
Starting point is 00:02:42 I'm intrigued by what could happen. I'm also intrigued by the idea of James Winston does the unthinkable and wins this game. Maybe the Giants get Matt LaFloor, which would be the greatest thing ever. Yeah. So there's some intrigue in this game. I hope, yeah, I hope the Ravens finish bad and the Ravens get fed up with Arbaugh or something. You know, but not Belichick. Okay.
Starting point is 00:03:02 I mean, so far, let's see. Since they fired Daibel, you guys have been linked to Tomlin. Yep. Oh, yeah. Flores. Coughlin. Mm-hmm. Coughlin.
Starting point is 00:03:13 Oh, does Coughlin right now. Both backers coaches. Spagnolo. Spagnolo. Everyone loves to bring that one up. Yeah. Spagnolo, I think, would be great. Okay, well, no one cares.
Starting point is 00:03:25 Let's, I don't have a lot of news and notes yet. Dalton Kincaid. Who? And Gruden, that's the wild card. They haven't really been linked to them. That's just like what fans want. No. Oh, I want that.
Starting point is 00:03:36 Yeah. Okay. Well, I would want that. What was I going to say? Oh, yeah, we'll get some news and notes is pouring in right now. So before we do that, let's read some YouTube comments here from Adam. Coffee with a stick of butter. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:52 No, not a stick. It's like a little, it's a little sliver of butter that I put in. Not much. You don't need much. It's black coffee with a little bit of butter. Very healthy. Troy Franklin. Not bad for you, actually, if you look it up.
Starting point is 00:04:03 Troy Franklin, Jameson, Williams, Jordan Addison. Pick two. Troy Franklin, Jameson Williams, Jordan Addison. Jameson and Franklin. I love what, I love what Dan Campbell did with Jameson Williams last week. I'm definitely sticking him in there. And I'll just go, Franklin. I have little to no faith for Mike McCarthy.
Starting point is 00:04:22 I'm sorry. Now I got Mike McCarthy on my mind because he's also apparently a Giants coaching candidate for the J.J. McCarthy offense. I mean. What did you see from, what was your James and Williams takeaway? Oh, just, we broke it down for Beyond the Boxer. Basically, what they did was finally utilize him in the way that you should. Look, he is a great vertical route runner. He is a great one-on-one winner.
Starting point is 00:04:44 But he's also great when you just clear out space with two wide receivers on one side of the formation, bring James and Williams on a short drag route or a short over-rout over the middle, get him in the ball, and then all the space is cleared out from the two-wide receiver combination on that side of the field, and let him run. almost had a touchdown in this game that was like this close the safety just got him toward the sideline would have been an even bigger game in fantasy that's how you got to utilize him utilize his speed after the catch he's not just a vertical straight line guy all right is it worth making a move to add aaron rogers or caleb williams this week or just start golf i'd probably
Starting point is 00:05:16 drop sean tucker i would much rather start either erin rogers or caleb booms over jared golf this week yeah but then he has to drop a player that's what he's saying um so you'd be dropping Sean Tucker. I don't know your running back situation. If you're not playing Sean Tucker, Bucky Irving is practicing. He's most likely going to return next week, barring a setback. So if you have no reason to play Sean Tucker, clearly this is a shallow league.
Starting point is 00:05:42 If Caleb Williams is on your waiver, where it's a shallow league. If Aaron Rogers is on your waiver wire, it's probably a shallow league. So I would just go with the quarterback and not worry about Sean Tucker. Just to quickly address the comments, Jim says it needs to be grass-fed butter, almost specifically. Yes, Jim, it is Carrie Gold.
Starting point is 00:05:58 that's grass fat. It's as good as it gets from the butter standpoint. But I have a quick question to run by you two, Jamie and Adam. Made a huge, huge trade in my biggest money league. And before I preface it, before I tell you the trade, I want to hear your thoughts on it and what you would have done. It's a league where it's 14 teams, super flex, but also in addition to that, you get a half a point per completion. So quarterbacks just go nuts in this league. I was lucky enough to have Flacco and Daniel Jones. Now Flacco's done. So, a team with three quarterbacks came to me and said, you've got to get a quarterback here. You're obviously going to buy week 14, 15, because I'm first place in this league, and I'm going for everything.
Starting point is 00:06:37 What's the trade? So he's offering Jackson Dart and James Winston, he picked him up to give me the whole quarterback situation. And Mike Evans, who like might be back at some point, and I'm giving up Nico Collins and RJ Harvey. Yikes. Yeah. Right before Harvey's going to break out. I'm not so sure Harvey's going to break out But they didn't put Dobbins on IR
Starting point is 00:07:02 So for those of you have Yet yet yet right So those of you have Harvey Let's see what happens this Sunday But we don't know how long Dobbins is going to miss That's number one Number two I'm not so sure Joe Burrow is coming back
Starting point is 00:07:14 I guess I'd have to lean that way Because he wants to come back But if I got scared off He's like I know but Dan If they lose their next two games Yeah They're a three win team on Thanksgiving
Starting point is 00:07:24 They're out They're pretty much out So he even acknowledged But I think he just wants to play. I was thinking that too, Adam. I was thinking, do I take the risk? He said it. He said, I don't know if, if, he said the team situation could affect his coming back.
Starting point is 00:07:40 He did say that? Yes, he did. He acknowledged that. This is bad research on my part. No, it was pretty subtle. But I, uh, I don't think I'd do it. It's tough. It's just all the, if Burrow comes back, I, I almost have to do it.
Starting point is 00:07:53 You can't finish the league and win the playoffs without a quarterback in that flex spot, the way it's the way it's set up with a point five conclusion but i did have an option he was he would have taken this is the part i wanted to ask you did the trade or you're contemplating i did it already i have no option i i need a quarterback did you did you shop around oh yeah i people it's such a crazy league jami first of all every single backup like almost every single backup quarterback is stashed in this league due to the importance of position so like jimicaropolo's stashed for a parent like future staffer anyway the other offers i had were somebody was giving me Gabriel straight up for Nico.
Starting point is 00:08:27 I don't want to win Gabriel and Sanders I would have got. And then there was only one other team that had three quarterbacks with Tyler Shuck. And I was trying to get Shuck. But he also didn't need a Harvey. So he had good running backs. He knew receivers. So he's like, I'm doing it for Nico and like or the other receiver I'm about to tell you. I think it's fine.
Starting point is 00:08:43 I think it's fine. To me, I'd rather give up Harvey and Nico and get back the Giants quarterback situation, given how much Dart was scoring and the upside of Dart to potentially be like a league winner for me down the stretch than like Shuck or. or Gabriel, honestly. But it's not a good spot. If Flacco ends up playing the rest of the season, it's a horrible trade,
Starting point is 00:09:01 and I might have cost myself the league. But the part of the trade I wanted to ask you guys about, he gave me the option of giving him one of two receivers, Nico Collins or Devante Adams. And I chose to give up Nico and keep Adam. Would you have done, you would have done the same? Absolutely. It's tough.
Starting point is 00:09:16 It's very tough. This is redraft, obviously, right? Yep, full BBR. Yeah, I think Adams, probably better. I just, you know, banged up last week, older receiver at some point, does that come back to haunt him? So, yeah, the injury is definitely on my mind with Adams, but that Rams offense is unstoppable. Nico, I think that, like, I want to believe in Nico. He was my, he was my wide receiver two going in the year. So I love Nico, but maybe three of whatever
Starting point is 00:09:50 it was, but he's been a big bust. And last week, they threw 45 times. They pretty much never do that. Yeah. He had a 54-yard catch on a Hail Mary at the end of the first half. There still are a lot of issues there with Nico.
Starting point is 00:10:03 He could still be the frustrating guy who gets you seven for 70 and scores 14 points, you know? So I definitely would go with Devante Adams. I feel that's what I did. I chose to keep Adams,
Starting point is 00:10:12 but let's go through some questions here. Rapid fire. Michael Wilson or Kenan Allen in full PPR? Wilson, I have that decision to make myself. I think Wilson has a
Starting point is 00:10:25 as a better chance of getting targets here. So I'm going to go with the volume, Wilson. Kamani Vidal, Ricky Pearsall, or Teteroa McMillan. Pick one. Oh, I'll go the upside with Ricky Pearsall. I'll go Vidal. Yeah, Vidal for me too. For full PPR, I'm talking.
Starting point is 00:10:40 Yeah. Not an easy call. Gibbs, would you give up Gibbs for Rishi Rice and Rico Dowdell? Ooh. It's a fair deal. You would? Absolutely. I don't even think it's fair.
Starting point is 00:10:52 I think it's a clear win for Rice and Dowdell. Yeah, I still think you're giving up the best player in the deal, but I still think, you're right. Dowdell's probably top 12 rest of the season. But the best player is not that much of a best player, the gap between Gibbs and Rice. Him and Rice, yeah, sure. I don't even know who's averaging more points per game. Rishie Rice is averaging 22.4 points per game. All right, just to go back to the Sean Tucker question, Todd Bowles just ruled out Bucciarving and Chris God.
Starting point is 00:11:19 Okay. By the way, Rishie Rice. If you need John Tucker, then clearly you have to make a tough call with the quarterbacks. If you don't need Sean Tucker again, shallow league will be my guess. Wait until the last minute, drop him so nobody else can pick him up. Next week, he's probably going to be irrelevant. And go with, I would go Caleb over Rogers.
Starting point is 00:11:37 For what it's worth, Rishie Rice is averaging two more points per game than Jemir Gibbs. Okay. Coffee, ice cream. You also have Gibbs' worst game of the season in there. Also have his best game of the season in there. I mean, such a small sample size for Rishie, but yeah. Coffee, ice cream over pumpkin pie. They are both horrible.
Starting point is 00:11:55 They're not both horrible. Would you trade T. Higgins and Aaron Jones for Devante Adams and standard? No way. No way. Higgins and Aaron Jones for Devante Adams. Probably not. You would rather have Adams? You'd rather have the two guys.
Starting point is 00:12:09 He's saying he'd rather have the two guys. I mean, if the Bengals are going to have this good of a passing offense, T. Higgins is awesome again. And then Jones is the lead running back? Yeah, I would do that. Yeah, I'd probably aim higher than the font. So you can. Mahomes or Lamar this week?
Starting point is 00:12:27 Lamar. Lamar for sure. Denzel Ward looks like he's out. I'm just never benching Lamar. So any question with Lamar will be Lamar for me. Well, people are worried about the weather in that game. So that's something we're going to have to keep an eye on for sure. And we'll talk about it on Sunday.
Starting point is 00:12:42 All right. So the news and notes, Dalton Kincaid is out. Jamie just mentioned Chris Gobwin and Bucky Irving are out. That's three big players out in that game. He mentioned the Denza Ward thing. He may not play. Jackson Dart is out this week but looks like he's trending in the right direction
Starting point is 00:13:00 so hopefully back next week it's pretty much the big stuff right now okay well Kincade out Slaten is not expected to play Slayton's out Kincade's out not only is Slayton out
Starting point is 00:13:15 or not expected to play but Kavon Tibido is out for Fibido. He's Tibido he's Tibido he's Tibido I always get him And Bobby O'Caricay, their best linebacker. It's going to be a rough day for the Giants defense. And again, the backer's offense kind of sucks.
Starting point is 00:13:29 And their secondary got healthy. Their front seven got a little bit worse. All right, so big day for Josh Jacobs. And big day for BetMG. Terry McLaurin officially ruled out too. And Terry McLaurin officially ruled out. And BetMGM is ruled in. Register with BetMGM to get instant access to the best variety of parlay selection features,
Starting point is 00:13:47 no sweat and boost tokens, live betting options, and much more. New players can receive up to $1,500 back. Let me say that again. New players can receive up to $1,500 back in bonus bets with the bonus code fantasy if they don't win their first bet. You don't want to miss out on any of the hard-hitting action at bet MGM.
Starting point is 00:14:07 Place your money line, parlay bets, and more today. Bet MGM, make it legendary. Let's do quick emails. Go ahead. Dan Campbell says he does not expect Sam Leporter to practice today. Oh, gosh. All right, no Leporta. deep sleeper,
Starting point is 00:14:22 tight-end premium leagues, look at Brock Wright. Now, are we going to boost James and Williams with Leporta out? Slightly. I love this guy.
Starting point is 00:14:35 Khalil Shakir cleared for contact. Khalil Shakir cleared for contact. He's dealing with a rib injury, so didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday. What the hell is going on in this? First of all,
Starting point is 00:14:48 no, I don't look like John Hamm. Yes, I do. do look like exactly like john hamper but what is this picture i know what the pictures but it looks like photoshopped with a with a beard that's you i know who that is but i don't think that i had that facial hair for that picture and maybe i did one day you should show up on the show with just a mustache no that is completely photoshop or handlebar thing i got the mutton chops too all right oh we need uh who oh there it is just put up the last Last comment.
Starting point is 00:15:23 No. Which one? There is. Hold on. A few quick emails and then we'll take a break and do more. This is from Chris. Would you trade Jalen Waddle for Travis E.T.N. and R.J. Harvey. I have Dobbins.
Starting point is 00:15:44 Jalen Waddle for E.N. who? Harvey. I mean, if you need the running backs, it's not far off. He does. Okay. Kailing Wattle has just been so good without Tyree Kill. Yeah, I'm not benching Waddle. Well, no, it's not that.
Starting point is 00:16:02 Would you trade him for E.N. and Harvey? Oops, sorry, I got caught looking at the comments. Would you trade him for E.N. and Harvey? I mean, if you desperately need running backs. He does, and he has J.K. Dobbins. So he's locking up the. Yeah, I would do that, honestly. Okay.
Starting point is 00:16:16 From Mark. Woody Marks, Debo Samuel, Gadsden. Start two. I'm benching Debo. Yeah, Marks and Gadsden is right. How about this one? Why would you play Debo? Guillotine League, PPR, start two.
Starting point is 00:16:34 Bijon Robinson, Drake London, Jemir Gibbs. That's the fun of a guillotine league. I'll start Gibbs and one. Actually, no. I can't sit here. Who are you starting over these guys? There's like three of my top five players. Yeah, something's wrong here.
Starting point is 00:16:49 Got to answer it. Let's go. No, something's wrong here. No, I refuse to answer it. That's just insane. I think I'm going to start. Are you trolling? This is your team?
Starting point is 00:16:58 No, no. I'm going to say, I'm going to start both Falcons. Now, again, to be fair, you get, we're down to week, this is week 11, so you're down to eight teams left, seven teams left, depending on when your league is done. I'm sitting Derek Henry in the guillotine league that Dan was eliminated in week one, not to bring that up. Wow. Like I'm saying that kind of other leagues were in this year.
Starting point is 00:17:21 Oh, my gosh. This guy is on the bragging tour. No, I'm not. It's only, it's a direct response to getting called out like Jamie just did. Oh, you got eliminated week one of our guillotine. Let me tell you about a trade that nobody wants to be playing in, by the way. Let me tell you about a trade I made in my league. I'm in first place, by the way.
Starting point is 00:17:39 That's how you started the show. Well, yeah, I am in first place of that league. It's my biggest league. It's just the truth. I just want to, I'll screenshot this. You want to get a little screen share going right here to CBS league. No, I'm just saying. You're just a bragger.
Starting point is 00:17:53 No, it's just a defense mechanism for when people come at me. I think, but no one came out of you. I think I would not start both Falcons. Like, what if the Falcons have a terrible game? I'd go with Bejohn and Gibbs. I just play the running backs, yeah. Yeah, pick one. Addison, Pearsall, Quentin Johnston, Wondale Robinson.
Starting point is 00:18:11 Jamie's starting Wondell Robinson over Bejohn Robinson this week. I would go, Bejohn Robinson. I mean, you know, I wanted to do it, excuse me. All right, Sunday morning. Bad Guy Rai is really coming at me today. Chill out, bad guy. You're two in the comments right now, Dan. You should be on the show and out of the comments.
Starting point is 00:18:30 Can we discuss how we figured out this past week through text, you and us three through our group text, what I deem to be a good dad joke? Yes, because I have many listeners submissions for dad jokes later in the show. And we're going to get to that in a bit. But Sunday morning, 8.30 a.m. to 9.30. a.m. and then noon to one, join us at YouTube.com slash fantasy football today.
Starting point is 00:18:55 Also, one more very important thing. If you're watching the show on demand, on YouTube, if you want your start, sit, questions answered, leave some in the comments. I'll come back this weekend and answer some questions. Leave some comments with start sit questions, and I'll try to help you out. Can't answer all of them, but I'll get to some.
Starting point is 00:19:11 We're going to take a break. We got more emails after this. I have to tell you about this game-changing product I use before a night out drinking. It's called pre-alcohol. Z-biotic, pre- alcohol drink is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic. Here's how it works. When you drink, alcohol gets converted into a toxic byproduct in the gut.
Starting point is 00:19:29 It's a buildup of this byproduct, not dehydration. That's the blame for those rough days after drinking. Pre-alcohol produces an enzyme to break this byproduct down. Just remember to make pre-alcohol your first drink of the night, drink responsibly, and you'll feel your best tomorrow. A couple weeks back, so on my morning jacket at the Brooklyn Paramount, but I had an early morning tea time the next day all the way in New Jersey, had my prebiotic, pre-alcohol, went out, enjoyed the concert, woke up the next morning, got to the tea time in time, and pared the first
Starting point is 00:19:59 hole. Make the most of every toast, tailgate, and touch down this holiday season. Just don't forget to bring pre-alcohol along for the ride.

We'd love to talk, business. someone says I'm being snippy because I'm still fighting with my wife because I told her to bench Trayvion Henderson You guys are in a fight? Over what? Over Trayvion Henderson. I told her to bench him. Over who? Jalen Warren.
Starting point is 00:21:32 It's not the worst idea on paper, but it's pretty bad, man. Remandre Stevenson ruled out that just traded their whole defense. What are you doing? Sleeping in the guest room is what I'm doing. All right, from Sal. First year playing, I'm doing well. Would you make this trade? Give up Nico Collins and David Montgomery for a Mecca Abuka and Zach Charbonnet. Yes. I have Meccaabuca ranked higher than Nico
Starting point is 00:21:59 rest of the year, so it really ends at that. And I also think Charbonnet is the better value of the running backs there. So easy win for me. Okay. I might be off on a league, but I just took a quick glance in the leagues where we're all in together. You're off on a league if you have anything negative to say. Dan is three and six. No, I'm not. Combined. What are you talking to me, Adam? Against you head-to-head matchups? Yep.
Starting point is 00:22:24 Talking about the standings of the league. Who the heck cares about a head-to-head matchup? They can look at the standings and get back to me. But that on your match is three and six. Three and Big Burger League. Yeah, the standings matter a lot more than a head-to-head match. All right. Go to look at records.
Starting point is 00:22:38 I'm not in the auction league. Bake Burger, we know you're the greatest ever. Okay, go to auction league. Fantasy football today. you are the worst in the FFT league. Yes, you are. You're four and six. Jamie and I are five and five.
Starting point is 00:22:52 No, I'm just wrong. Superflex league. Should we check the Superflex? That one, you're FFT. Open, 8 and 2. I'm 7 and 3. Adams 5 and 5, and 5.
Starting point is 00:23:01 I mean, where are you here? Where are you? Look at the points. My points are higher than you in that league. No, now we're going points. Okay. So head-to-head doesn't matter. Well, fine, that's two weeks.
Starting point is 00:23:09 What's the auction league, Jamie? What's your record in the auction league that I'm not in one? I'm not in that league. I'm not in that league. You're not in that league. How about Bake Burger? Yeah. We're going to forget about those two.
Starting point is 00:23:19 Every week, every week, baked burger. We know. Jerry picking a couple weeks. Heath's Dynasty League. Dan and I are both tied at seven and seven, but I just beat Dan last week. And that's seven and seven and three. Seven and three, excuse me.
Starting point is 00:23:29 We're both doing well in that league. Adams, again, bottom barrel in that league. No, Adam's not in that league. Dumbass. You are in that league. Whoa. You have to edit that one out. No, don't you say that on bottom of the barrel?
Starting point is 00:23:41 You are in that league. Heath's, which one? East New Dynasty that we did for a job. I'm in that one. You're in that league. And I've been trying to trade with you and you're just denying, I'm trying to help your team for the future. You offer me such an insulting trade. No, I didn't. Has that insulting? What do you want? You want more than a second round pick for those scrub players that are like only win now guys, Vidal and who would I ask for? Vidal and Tracy. I wanted Javante Williams. I do want Javante. What do you want Javante's worth more than a two?
Starting point is 00:24:07 You want a one for Javante? What's your name in that league? I offered you a two for Javent and I offered you like a three and a four for Tracy and Vidal. That's not insult. what's your team name what's your team name in that league um in the dynasty one with heath the new dynasty where i'm seven and three and james seven and three and three and you're like two and one or two and nine or two and eight because i can't do math let's see super flex really i'm trying to find that league it might have been buried uh oh this might have been a buried league where is this f ft dynasty super flex my name is just dan in that league yeah okay i'm seven and three jami seven three year three and seven that's that's where we're at there yeah right okay
Starting point is 00:24:45 So I think we've disproven your theory because the Superflex League, the FFT League, you're the worst of the three of us. But then I'm better than in auction, Dynasty Superflex, Bake Burger. That's three leagues. I'm not in the auction league. So that doesn't count. So you're not in our auction? Why did you not do the auction league? I'm not in it.
Starting point is 00:25:04 I'm just not. All right. Let's get back. Okay, what's your FFT Open records? I'm 8 and 2. Are you even doing good in that league? No. I'm like middle of the pack.
Starting point is 00:25:14 Six and four. okay that's respectable hey i'm not in that league with you i don't know what to tell you like you're in that league with 11 people that i don't know not me and jamie adam just know just know that head-to-head against the two of us he's three and six there you go i don't know how you did that in real time but good for you go to schedule your record just like looking through each league and putting it at listen in the end what's going to happen here is we're going to decide by the end of the season who won the most leagues of us three that we're all in together it's going to be me because i play in more than you
Starting point is 00:25:45 No, that we're all in together. No, that we're all in together. There's only four, and two of them are Dynasty. I don't care. Dynasty doesn't count. Oh, Dynasty doesn't count now. That's where we're going with this just because you're so bad at Dynasty. Is that of the worst Dynasty player you've ever played with Jamie?
Starting point is 00:25:57 He's like every league I look in. He's bottom barrel. Every two of them. Yeah, that's it. Oh, for two. Yeah, I know. It sucks. You just, I had a lot of injuries in that league.
Starting point is 00:26:09 There's nothing you can do. There's no waiver wire. Mike Evans, Malik neighbors. What am I supposed to do? I think people are right. I need the nose strip. It lets me breathe, deep breath, you know, like that. I need a mantra.
Starting point is 00:26:21 I need to relax. All right. I'm going to, we're going to go real fast here. We're going to make up for some lost time. Yes. Sorry for swearing at Dan there, but. That's, you on you. Especially when I was wrong, and I actually was in the league.
Starting point is 00:26:33 I need to bench one player in my half PPR league. Derek Henry, D'Andre Swift, R.J. Harvey. Devante Adams, T. Higgins. One more time, Harvey Swift, what else? Harvey, Swift, Henry, Adams, Higgins, bench one. So you really can only choose between Harvey and Swift. Actually, for me, it's between Harvey and Henry. And Henry, wow.
Starting point is 00:27:02 Yeah. All right, Jamie said Harvey. I'll bench Harvey. It's a safer play to go with Swift, but I think we could be seeing the Harvey breakout this week. Just keep in mind, as much work as he may get, it's still Kansas City. yeah he's good i just want to see him with an actual role in rhythm the word i said what i called dan is that profanity because do you remember that commercial where the guy goes into the guy's office and he's like mister and he says it mr my mr and he goes it's pronounced
Starting point is 00:27:32 dumas they said it on a national tv commercial oh you can say dumbass that's fine at dumbass is fine right i didn't curse all right it's not very nice you can say oh dude Hey, yeah, you got to edit anyway because Jamie got you there. But honestly, it's deserved for saying something like that to me, especially when you were wrong. You deserved to have to do extra work after the show. All right. PBR League from Bill, pick two.
Starting point is 00:27:58 Rashad White, Kamani Vidal, Tess Johnson. Tess and Rashad for me. Or no, Tess and Vidal. Yes. I agree. It's Vidal. Vidal. Say it five times fast.
Starting point is 00:28:09 Yeah. Remember when you told me that thing with Bejohn, and then we learned, like, later that he doesn't mind being called Bijan. All right, from Michael. Tony Pollard, Amari DiMercato, or Jordan Mason, half PPR. Ooh. Just one? DeMercado.
Starting point is 00:28:24 Pollard. But I guess DeMarcato is a safer play. Jonathan Gannon met what the media today and said he would not give any injury updates aside from Marvin Harrison and maybe Mac Wilson being out. Okay. By the way, he also says Swift or Harvey? PPR. It's the same question. Yeah, I mean, Swift's the safer play, so I'm fine with it.
Starting point is 00:28:47 Especially PPR. This is from Shirm. He says, Dear Jamie and Adam, I would have included Dan in the greeting, but since it's a guillotine league question after week two, I don't know if he'd have any input. At what point do you start treating a guillotine league like a DFS lineup and a drop above average guys like D.K. Metcalf in hopes of hitting big on a one-week streamer? So we're getting to that point I finally spent
Starting point is 00:29:14 I was the big bank for the last couple of weeks and I finally spent and I overpaid just to make sure I got them but Rashi Rice and Devante Adams were both available and I spent I didn't expect to get both but I did which and this is going to tell you how I overspent
Starting point is 00:29:29 I spent 300 or 200 for Rashi Rice and 81 for Devante Adams and Sequan Barkley went for 10 dollars wow so everybody just just didn't pay attention that's rare uh is that the league i lost in week two well there i got a couple messages like oh i forgot to do waivers you know that's going to happen um that should not happen in a guillotine league uh but it does i mean this is not the first time i've seen this happen i've been playing this you know format for at least five years and you see it you
Starting point is 00:29:59 know people just don't think they're going to spend enough don't have the money there's you know few few managers that don't have money at all um i didn't really need running backs but obviously i would have, you know, put a bid on Barclay if I thought he was going to go cheap. And you should, honestly, in any of these formats, put in bids for almost all the superstars just in case something like this happens if you can afford it. But yes, you want, the thing you want to do is you want to get to the end and control the bank, you know, because if you do, they just be picking up anybody you want to. So I tried to do it where I'd still be in the mix in the next couple weeks. I like really where my team is at, but you never know how that goes. It does help. Like, for
Starting point is 00:30:34 For example, last week, I got Trevi on Henderson for 20 bucks. So it always helps if you have a great start. So, like, I have Henderson right now. I feel like I'm in a great spot to survive. All right, moving on. Next question is from Kerry. Half PPR. I need a running back and a wide receiver.
Starting point is 00:30:51 Aaron Jones, Swift, or Marks? Half PPR, Swift, Jones, Marks. I feel Marx is the safest to me. I love Swift. Pretty risky to me. You think so? Just from a role standpoint. Jones, I just want to see it one more week before I say this is his role.
Starting point is 00:31:12 With Marks? Yeah. You know? I heard somebody suggest maybe he only plays a half on Thursday and then they said... Stop. All right. So, Jamie said Swift. Dan said Marks.
Starting point is 00:31:24 Yeah. I think I'd probably go Swift. But I think Aaron Jones is pretty good, too. Quentin Johnson... I like them all. I really do. I don't like... I think the Bears' offense will really stall out this game.
Starting point is 00:31:34 matchup-wise, I do not like it. If you look at some of the stats with Caleb Williams versus pressure versus the blitz specifically, he's going to get blitz all game in this game. All right. Quentin Johnston or Ricky Pearsall. Awesome. Oh, do I go Ricky, pretty Ricky, right?
Starting point is 00:31:51 First week back. I'm pretty excited about Ricky's return. They are generating offense through QJ because they can't pass block. So I'll go QJ just because he's that short area target and that's all the chargers can do is their own quick game right now. It's only been that short area target once,
Starting point is 00:32:08 so we'll see if that keeps up. It's past game. That's how they utilize them. I know. From Matt. I'm a cocky, too. I mean, that's what they're doing with their receivers. E.T.N. or Wondale?
Starting point is 00:32:17 Oh, well, no Slayton. I love Wondale this week. I probably said we eat in them. I'm going Wondale with James. There's no Slayton. From Dalton, 12-Team PPR. Which side do you like better? Sequin Barclay and Chris Olave?
Starting point is 00:32:33 or Josh Jacobs Keenan Allen and Wondale Robinson Sequin and Alave What's that aside? Jacobs, Keenan Allen, Wondale I think Alave Alave Barclay Yeah, I think you got Alave Barclay
Starting point is 00:32:47 Like if we knew that Slaten Forget about who the quarterback is Because I think it shouldn't matter too much But if Slaten's out for an extended period of time Then Wondo's in a good spot He's obviously a little bit better with James in my opinion But still Sequin and Alave Like Alave's first game without Rashidi was fantastic
Starting point is 00:33:03 I think Olave's top two in targets this season at wide receiver. Yeah. He's definitely up there. It's insane. Jacobs does feel kind of significantly better than Barclay. Obviously, it doesn't have to be that way. It could change. Just because he scores more, you think?
Starting point is 00:33:17 Yeah, I mean, he's just been a lot better, hasn't he? I have a lot of concern about them moving forward without Elgin Jenkins on that offensive line. They've already had so many injuries on that offensive line. Now take out Jenkins. Jordan loves not playing great football. It's just, again, like, he'll score because they're going to score some touchdowns, they run a lot in the red zone, but there's no
Starting point is 00:33:35 explosiveness to his game. He doesn't have much involvement in the passing game. I think Barclay has more upside rest of the season. I mean, that's one thing to say, but Jacobs is averaging 3.8 more points per game than Barclay. Yeah, he scores a touchdown every game. Yeah, he does.
Starting point is 00:33:51 And I don't really think that's going to change necessarily. Yeah. Okay. I'm not projecting for one a game, but he's going to be a touchdown score. Last couple questions here. Chase Brown, Woody Marks, Well, or Trayvion Henderson, but if it's not, if it's not Henderson, go, well, yeah, if you could have got Henderson, good for you, but Chase Brown or Marks. Chase Brown for sure.
Starting point is 00:34:12 Yep. And Rashad White or Jake Ferguson, PPR. Full PPR? I mean, last week was a great opportunity for Rashad White against a team that has been awful against past catching running backs. He had five catches. He turned that into 16 yards. Yeah. I'm going to go Ferguson.
Starting point is 00:34:31 Same. And there's a chance. I think I'm reading that that game could be like 30 in the 30s. I don't like to pick. I'm out on the 30 degree football as far as expecting passing production. Time for some dad jokes from the audience. Okay. So can we go over what happened this week in text?
Starting point is 00:34:48 We found out what I deemed to be good and bad dad jokes. And I figured it out. If a dad joke has a pun in it, because Jamie presented two or three really fun dad jokes that I laughed at, they were good. I don't remember the first one, Jamie, but that was the best one. that you text it over and it was great it's a pun when it doesn't have a pun it requires a mitch headberg level delivery you can't just deliver a dad joke without a pun and then have no delivery to it you need the pause you need the hedge you need the Mitch headberg pause so you
Starting point is 00:35:18 don't want to bring the Mitch headberg pause you just want to do like what do they like to eat like are you know like they have Thanksgiving like this not funny without the pause I don't remember what that joke was but it's terrible if pilgrims were alive today what would they be known for The one that Dan loved was, do you know why the person who invented the Ferris wheel never met the person who invented the merry-go-round? They travel in different circles. That's funny. That's actually funny. It's solid, right?
Starting point is 00:35:45 It's a pun. You get it because the circle. But like the other ones that don't involve that pun, without the delivery, they're nothing. And even that's not that great. Let me just be clear. Oh, that's not that great. You said, okay at best. You said, see, that's amazing.
Starting point is 00:35:59 That's a joke right there. It's clever. Yeah, for that joke. It's amazing. I have to qualify that, obviously. Oh, my gosh. It's not slapstick without the delivery. That's what they're doing.
Starting point is 00:36:10 Even like what EDU puts in, like, I don't trust Adams. They make up everything. If that had like a Mitch Hedberg style delivery, it might have a shot. It really might. But if you just read it like that, I don't trust Adams. They make up everything. Then it's like, you get it because Adams, everything's made up of Adams. That's not funny.
Starting point is 00:36:26 I think the one from Brent Morrison. Find it. Where is it? Okay. I think that Emma. If you wouldn't mind doing me a favor, I'm going to star this one. If you see any good dad jokes, just put a star on them. I'm going to read the ones that we got from email.
Starting point is 00:36:38 But what you're saying about, you need the dad joke to have a good delivery. I think that pretty much applies to jokes. Right? I mean, you would extend, but like, or they could be clever, right? Or they could be clever with a pun or a play on words. That's my point. Like, Jamie's had a little bit of a cleverness to it. But what you don't get, somebody just posted this thing.
Starting point is 00:36:58 They're not supposed to be funny. I know. The funniness is how bad they are. Yes. Okay. Exactly. Well, I guess to some people, that's funny. That's funny to me.
Starting point is 00:37:08 Let's see how you like these. This one's from Kyle. Did I ever tell you that I once submitted 10 dad jokes into a joke competition to see if I'd win? No pun intended. Okay. This is from Michael. Why does Waldo wear stripes? because he doesn't want to be spotted.
Starting point is 00:37:34 From Kerry, what's the best thing about Switzerland? I'm not sure, but their flag is a big plus. Ha, ha, ha. Nicole says, want to hear a joke about paper? Never mind, it's terrible. Ha, ha.
Starting point is 00:37:52 Jake asks, what's brown and sticky? A stick. I don't like that. whatever. I know what's not my favorite. But okay, there's some dad jokes. Let's see if we have any in the chat.
Starting point is 00:38:05 There's some good ones. Yeah? Okay. I think we have a lot. Why don't skeletons fight each other? They don't have the guts. I don't want this reputation, Andrew saying Dan is really becoming the resident crumagent.
Starting point is 00:38:18 I'm not a curmudgeon. I am a lovable, good, happy guy. I just don't like dad. Like, I'm happy. I said at the beginning of the show, I'm having a great day. And I laugh at stupid stuff. I don't think my sense of humor is better
Starting point is 00:38:28 than yours like i laugh at the uh tim robinson sketches which is like some people find them really not funny at all and it's pretty dumb humor but i find it funny so like it's just different everyone sends humor is different i am personally not laughing at these jokes that's just all i'm trying to say and when does it when does a joke become a dad joke i guess when it's not funny when the punchline becomes a parent that's really clever actually because it's very clever it's yep um why does why did the scarecrow win the award because he was outstanding in his field. You know, I got to tell you something, Dan,
Starting point is 00:39:05 I never realized that I was a... See, that's a good football-related one there by Abraham. Abraham. Oh, that's great. I told Rashad White a joke, but he didn't run with it. That's really good. Dan, I never realized I was a curmudgeon until a lot of people told me I was a curmudgeon.
Starting point is 00:39:26 So I just, just think about it, you know? Just think about it. I really don't think I am, but maybe I am. I really hope I'm not. I got to fix a lot of things about my life if I'm heading toward crumagin Avenue. Is that where you, you live over on cremogen drive? Not anymore. I think in my 20s, I certainly was, you know, more of a curmudgeon.
Starting point is 00:39:48 I live, I own the whole lane, curmudgeon lane. You have curmudgeon traits since I know you. Yeah, but I'm pretty happy guy. Like around the house, I'm super happy. I don't view myself as unhappy either. I don't think anyone else does. But apparently on this show, that's the vibe I'm giving off. So I'll need to fix that, moving forward.
Starting point is 00:40:06 I guess I have to just start fake laughing at dad jokes. That's the best way to do. There's a good one by the no strip guy. What's his name? The strip guy. Oh, God. I once had a job crushing cans. It was so depressing.
Starting point is 00:40:23 That's good. That's good. That one's better written out. that's good my wife screamed you haven't listened to a single word I've said have you what a weird way to start a conversation all right we take a break
Starting point is 00:40:40 and we got the fantasy cops this Dan's favorite segment fantasy cops when we come back there we go that is the best that's annoying what you're a muffler you don't hear it oh I don't even notice it I usually drown it out with the radio how's this
Starting point is 00:40:52 oh yeah way better save on insurance by switching to Bell Air Direct and use the money to fix your car. Bell Air Direct, insurance, simplified. Conditions apply. You know what's better than the one big thing? Two big things. Exactly. The new iPhone 17 Pro on TELUS's five-year rate plan price lock.
Starting point is 00:41:11 Yep, it's the most powerful iPhone ever, plus more peace of mind with your bill over five years. This is big. Get the new iPhone 17 Pro at tellus.com slash iPhone 17 Pro on select plans. Conditions and exclusions apply. I'm kind of bummed about something, guys. I had lunch plans and they just got canceled.
Starting point is 00:41:31 What was it for? Were we going to eat? I don't know. Just go to get a sandwich or something. I was really hungry for it. I don't know what to do now. I feel like I can't go by myself. I don't understand.
Starting point is 00:41:40 You can't go by yourself to a sandwich place? Hold on. None of this is adding up. Adam had lunch plans that he said that he was excited for. Now he's missing it. And I said, where are you going? Because usually if you have lunch plans and you're excited about, you're eating out a certain place and you're excited about that food.
Starting point is 00:41:52 He's like, I don't know. I think we were going to go to this deli. I guess I could go by myself but I don't want to do it It's like a really good deli It's like a 12 minute drive It's fine But they have one sandwich
Starting point is 00:42:02 That I particularly love What is it? It's called the Bourbon Street Okay what's on it It's a good place All right I'll tell you after fantasy cops Just get it and bring it home
Starting point is 00:42:14 Would you drive 12 minutes To get a sandwich And bring it home? I love eating alone Because it gives me 20 minutes to 30 minutes Of just nothing No one to bother me
Starting point is 00:42:24 So what just Joe Flacco said was the perfect, perfect analogy for anybody that just wants a little bit of quiet time. You should go, just go do it. But I don't think he's planning to sit and eat and enjoy his time alone. He's just going to pick it up and bring it back. He would sit there and be like, I can't believe him alone. No, no, I don't buy that. It's just kind of far to go for a long.
Starting point is 00:42:44 12 minutes? That's far? Yeah, it's a little far. All right. Here's the sandwich. Chicken cutlet, cheddar cheese, red onion. No thanks. Not for me.
Starting point is 00:42:53 Lettuce, tomato, blue cheese. cheese dressing. It's really good. I mean, it doesn't sound like my kind of sandwich, but anything with chicken gutlet is good if you're in New York, New Jersey. Here we go. Time for the fantasy cops.
Starting point is 00:43:07 Fantasy football at CBSI.com is our email address. This one is from Ian. He says, hello, all pumpkin pie is trash. I have a serious issue in our 20-year fantasy league, 12 teams, PPR, tight-end premium. Okay, our league voted before the year to add an additional wild card round to the playoffs before the year.
Starting point is 00:43:29 We failed to realize that there are still buy weeks in week 14. Well, the commissioner reminded everyone of the new structure this week and checking the schedule, I see that I will be without Drake May, Rico Dowdell, and George Kittle. Basically, I will lose. I never like the idea of changing rules in season,
Starting point is 00:43:44 but this has to be an exception, right? What kind of league wouldn't want the best players to have a chance to compete in the playoffs? What do you think? I mean, if they voted, there had to have been some measure of people looking and deciding, okay, we're all going to agree that you're going to be out some players.
Starting point is 00:44:02 So if you did it before the draft, everybody knew what the bywigs were for the draft. That being said, this is the dumbest thing ever. Yeah, it needs to be changed, but it's one of these things where we've ruled on these a lot in the past and we kind of always say whatever the rules were and everybody agreed to them and knew them, you hope you have to stick with it.
Starting point is 00:44:23 I'm changing it. Yeah, no, you're playing wildcard week. Sorry about that. Yeah. Next up is Katie in Bergen County, New Jersey. Are you anywhere near that? What? Are you near Bergen County?
Starting point is 00:44:39 Bergen County, yeah, Bergen County's up north. Great County. I'm a little too poor to live there. Great. Just to be honest. Okay. Big fight this weekend about who's responsible if a team manager goes missing and doesn't set their lineup?
Starting point is 00:44:53 Is it the commissioner's responsibility to babysit players? This is even how? This has even caused an argument between my boyfriend and me, L.O.L. Oh, no. All right, so basically, what happened was somebody wasn't setting a lineup, Katie realized this, brought it up to the commissioner, and he refused to set the absent manager's lineup, leaving the commissioner against the team with three players on by.
Starting point is 00:45:16 Okay, so the commissioner was playing the team that wasn't setting the lineup. All right, so what do we do here? I have some personal experience with this, but I'll let you guys answer. What do you do as commissioner if someone's not setting a lineup? So I think the first thing you do is when you catch this
Starting point is 00:45:35 and you reach out to the person and say, hey, what's going on? Just notice that you haven't set your lineup. Yep. I think if you're going to take an active role in that, you've got to catch it during the games. You know, so first time it happens. You know, so I mean, you're either going to set the lineup for the person if they decided, hey, I'm not into it, whatever, or you're just going to let it ride every week and give everybody the opportunity for a free space.
Starting point is 00:45:59 I don't, yeah, so I don't like the idea of it's tough. I don't really love the idea of the commissioner texting the player like, hey, your line, because it's, it's only fair if he does that every single week. Right. In every single. And that now becomes a chore for the commissioner. It's not great. I don't think a commissioner should be expected to do that every week. What if he forgets?
Starting point is 00:46:17 And then one person's benefiting from the commissioner. or texting the guy, the other person, or not texting the guy, the other person is losing because of that. I think the reality of situation is it's hard, hard, tough love that I always deliver in these spots at them. And I know you don't like this, but you have to decide, are you a serious league or are you league for fun? If you want to be a serious league,
Starting point is 00:46:35 you text the person, you say, look, you have to start taking this thing seriously. You've done two or three lineups without a player. It's affecting the impact of the league. It's hurting the balance. If you don't start setting your lineups, I will ask for you not to return to the league. So here's the issue.
Starting point is 00:46:48 Go ahead. My only concern is if you've done that now and it's gone on for two or three weeks and the teams that just played that manager in the last two weeks gets the benefit of them not setting the lineup and then now you're changing it like and I'm going to guess in your instance you're doing it just in the broad picture of set your lineup I don't care who you're playing but now you're potentially penalizing what could be playoff competition for you or playoff competition for other people that they now have to deal with that as opposed to the two people
Starting point is 00:47:18 who didn't. Yeah, that's unfair. It definitely is going to affect the balance of the league no matter what for this year. So this is partly, this happened to me. This happened to me last week.
Starting point is 00:47:27 As commissioner, I was facing the Jonathan Taylor team. He scores 50 points. Right. But he started Patrick Mahomes. He started T. Higgins. He started one other player on by. And I won.
Starting point is 00:47:37 And this wasn't the first time it happened with this manager. Actually, the first time he didn't set his lineup, I did reach out to him. The first time I noticed it. I said, hey, oh, he had an illegal lineup,
Starting point is 00:47:45 right? And I was like, hey, attention. He's like, oh, sorry about that. I will. But then he played me and he didn't. And I didn't realize this until after the games had started that he'd started all these guys on by. And I've decided, I'm not going to say anything to him because it would be unfair for me. I just got a win because of his failure to set a line. Yeah, right. You can't do it now for the other people. So I'm going to have to address it in the office season. Right. So you can't even do it now.
Starting point is 00:48:09 You get put in a tough spot as commissioner then. I think if if you don't catch it, you know, you could say there's a gray area of, okay, I didn't catch it in week three. And then I told everybody i told him in week four on to your point dan you know it becomes a tour but i told him week four on so the the one week three situation that's just hey it happens whatever the case may be now i'm on it i'm going to pay attention to it but if it's like three four five and then week six oh crap he hasn't been saying he's lying for three weeks you just got let it go okay we got one oh we got one from leum we had a trade go through it was a 14 team league tony pollard and dj more for garret Wilson. The trade was not accepted until Monday, seconds after the news came out that Wilson would
Starting point is 00:48:52 be injured for three to four weeks. And not that he was on IR, just that he was out for three to four weeks. Okay. The person who sent the trade giving up Wilson, or giving up Wilson for Pollard and Moore. Oh, no, sorry. The person sent the trade gave up Moore and Pollard for Garrett Wilson. He said that, um, sorry, that is. It should be vetoed because his intent was not to acquire an injured player. Do you think the trade should be vetoed? I'm sorry, I butcher that. So he sends a trade, give up Pollard and more, get Garrett Wilson.
Starting point is 00:49:27 It was not accepted until just after that news came out that Wilson was going to miss three to four weeks. And now the guy who is getting Wilson wants it vetoed. It's tough. No, it's not. You veto it? You think you veto it? I think so. I veto it.
Starting point is 00:49:44 I overturn it. Because you think the person waited to accept it until. I just think that if a player's status changes from the time the trade was sent to the time it was accepted and changes in such a severe way, right? But the problem I agree with you in theory, Adam, the problem with that is it gets real subjective fast as far as that. Like, you must practice on Wednesday. I don't want to do the trade now.
Starting point is 00:50:06 Like, because somebody, and then you see it gets canceled veto and then all of a sudden that person makes another trade with the players involved. But I think in this case where there's a long-term. injury, and I think anything over a week is a long-term injury personally, but, you know, you said this, Dan, and you're not wrong. You know, seriously versus non-seriously. Most of these situations, you're playing with friends or you're playing with friends of friends. Like, why would you want this to be something that's going to be contentious for people you're going to be with for hopefully many years? You know, so I would just, you know, say, hey, my bad, maybe we
Starting point is 00:50:42 do another trade. Maybe there's something we can work out, but like, it doesn't work. And people are saying, people are saying that it's up to this manager to cancel the trade, but the point, the email said he accepted it within seconds of this news coming out. So he didn't have time to cancel the trade. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. That's fair. It does seem. But you also should realize like, and again, case by case, but like there was the chance of Wilson missing time. It wasn't like, when he left the game, it wasn't like, oh, he'll be back next week. Like, there was the potential of that. I also think it's possible to, like, make the case. that this is still a fair trade.
Starting point is 00:51:17 Like, Garrett, you got to wait a few weeks to get Gary Wilson. What the heck are you getting out of those other two? I don't want to put those guys in my lineups at any point. I think Garrett Wilson might be out for the season. I mean, they didn't say that. Okay, if he's out for the season, that stinks, and I'm wrong about that. He's not I are. It's just.
Starting point is 00:51:30 What am I getting at a DJ more in my lineup? I'm getting potential for a disaster. It's a 14-team PPR League. You're getting potential for a startable player. Is he startable? Yes. He usually scores at least- He certainly wasn't last week when he got a bagel. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 00:51:45 He left the game. with an injury. He usually scores about eight fantasy points. The week before that, he scored 26 fantasy points or something like that. He's an asset in a 14 team PPR league. The other thing is this, this fantasy cop just reminds me. Like, this is a very important for everybody. And I'm sure most of you, you know, strong fantasy players already know this. Don't leave trades up. You're going to propose a trade in your league and you're not necessarily texting the person about the trade and trying to like have a negotiation. You're just throwing it out there and hoping they accept it. Don't leave it up. Put it out there. Text the person, say, look, I sent you a trade,
Starting point is 00:52:14 take a look at it. And this is, I think Heath does a great job of this in all the leagues I'm in with Heath. He'll send me a trade offer and then he'll notify me the trade offers to something Jamie didn't do four weeks ago. We could have made a trade, but I had no idea the trade was sitting there, but Jamie didn't text me. But Heath texts me once he sends me a trade and says, look, I sent you a trade. And then I'll look at it and I'll say, uh, I don't like this. He's like, all right, do a counter. And then I was like, honestly, it doesn't work. He's a dynasty league. He was like, we don't have any counters that work. He's like, okay. And then he deletes the trade. You don't leave it up because then you put the risk of, you know, you run this risk if you
Starting point is 00:52:43 leave trades up. Yeah, I know. It could be hard to remember, but I get it. What do you think you offered me for Kamani Vidal and Javante Williams, by the way? First of all, it's a starting offer. What do you think? But earlier, you said what you offered me. I think you said you threw second round pick or something. You made it seem like I was crazy.
Starting point is 00:52:59 Is there actually a log that shows the trade offers? I'm looking at it right now in my trash. I have the email. What do you think you offer me? You offered me something for Kamani Vidal and Javante Williams in our super court, Tracy. For both players?
Starting point is 00:53:15 It was a, I'm going to guess he said second round picks. I'm going to say second round pick. There's probably something worse. I think I put players in. Look, originally I offered you a second via text. Then you didn't respond to that. So I just threw a random starting offer out. Don't remember that.
Starting point is 00:53:28 But you offered me two third round picks and Jaden Blue for Kamani Vidal and Javante Williams. Yeah, two threes and Jaden Blue. Is it that bad? That's pretty bad. And that's not good. But, like, I also don't know if even giving a two-up is worth Javante Williams, who may not even be back with the Cowboys. and is not really a dynasty asset unless he is back with the Cowboys.
Starting point is 00:53:47 Javante for, it's going to be a late two, right? No, oh, yeah, true. It would be a late two or a late three. All right, fine. You want to do it for a two? Javante for a two? No, Javentai and Vidal for a two. I'm not keeping, like, Javentay is not that good of an asset.
Starting point is 00:54:00 That might, maybe. You don't need him. These guys worth nothing to you. I could see them resigning him. Could they? They don't have money to do that. Don't tell me to take a two, by the way. Take it too.
Starting point is 00:54:13 Here's what I think, Dan. I think you start a lot of your arguments and you don't really know where you're going with it and you throw stuff out and sometimes it's just not true. Like, you're better than us in every league that we're playing it. You're just, you're not really sure if that's true. Very true statement by you. Yeah, I can see it. I can see the wheels.
Starting point is 00:54:33 I do like to throw, you know what. I won't do it to you again and make a second edit in the show at the wall a lot and see what sticks. Oh, you can throw shit at the balls. Ah! You gave him a second edit, Jamie. That wasn't fair. You gave him the first edit. That was respectable because he deserved it by calling me a you know what to do mass.
Starting point is 00:54:50 But the second edit is really not fair. Okay, let's do Apple podcast questions. I was like Khan. You almost said Khan. It would have been a great Star Trek. One of Dave's best jokes ever was the Kod joke. So good. What was it?
Starting point is 00:55:07 I was wearing my Star Trek. You're not going to get it because you don't know what the Star Trek references. but Adam has a Star Trek shirt and Dave just yelled, screamed Khan. But he set it up with Shod Khan the owner of the All right, right. All right. All right. Here's a question. Apple Podcast
Starting point is 00:55:24 from Am I going to read that? Bowers and Henderson for Chase Brown and Marvin Harrison Jr. in a 10-team half-P-R league. Which side do you like better? Bowers and Henderson or Chase Brown and Marvin Harrison, Jr.
Starting point is 00:55:42 This was before the appendicitis, I think. Bowers and Edgson. I mean, even if it was healthy, I'd rather have Bauer Bauer. Yeah, same. Same. Okay, here's one. My running backs are Gentie and Barclay. Benson is on my bench.
Starting point is 00:55:59 My wide receivers are Nico, Garrett Wilson, Shakir, and Parker Washington. Quarterback is Hertz. I give up Barclay and Parker Washington. I get Walker, Charbonnet, and Olai. No. No. It's a big
Starting point is 00:56:13 It's a big win, I think, if if one of Walker or Charbonnet get hurt. That's the only thing. That's, you could say that about a lot of things. But you know what, though? If one of Walker or Charbonnet gets hurt, they're probably Barclay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:31 What did I say Barclay was, I think Barclay is averaging about 16 points per game. He, 15.7. Yeah, it's ugly. Just curious. If Walker Charbonnet gets hurt, more or less than 15.7 points per game for the other guy. Oh, right there. That's a lot, slightly buff.
Starting point is 00:56:52 Yeah, that's about right. About like 80 yards and a TDA per game type thing. All right, grade my trade. They'll probably just go with George Halani. Yeah. For Christian McCaffer. Grave-McCaffrey trade. I traded Brock Bowers, a Mecca, Abuka, and Chase Brown.
Starting point is 00:57:10 for Christian McCaffrey and Tess Johnson. That's too much. He still has Nico and Sutton. That's too much, man. That's too much. Especially if Godwin comes back, that clearly hurts both bucks receivers, but I think Ted's more so than a book.
Starting point is 00:57:26 Taz way more so, yeah, that's too much. I think that might be it. Did we read this one last week? Please tell Dan that the Pilgrim and the Dinosaur jokes were the same joke repackaged. That makes it worse. Well, you liked one of them and you didn't like the other.
Starting point is 00:57:39 So, yeah, first of all, I have to say, that's amazing. It's the greatest joke ever. I think that's it for Apple Podcast. Apple Podcast is weird. They really don't populate that well. Yeah, agreed. Me and Jacob are having trouble figuring them out for Beyond the Box Score. It's like, A, it's not organized well.
Starting point is 00:57:57 Apple, get your game together when it comes to this. Okay, let's not insult Apple. I think that's right. Sorry, Apple, you're the best. I'm a healthy guy. Here's a comment. We get to some Spotify comments now. This one is from
Starting point is 00:58:11 Willie Rann. It just says, Adam is so funny and smart and handsome. Shocker that you chose to read this one. Yeah. This is from
Starting point is 00:58:21 Desmond, or, I can't read that. Sorry, it's a very small print. O'Dunzee, Jameson, Wondale Robinson,
Starting point is 00:58:30 Parker, Washington, pick two. Adunze, Jamo, Parker, oh, Adunzee and Jamo. Who was that Dr. Parker? Jemar Chase,
Starting point is 00:58:41 aka Wondell Robinson. Oh, Odunzei and Robinson. From Sean, half PPR, 12 teams, stacked at receiver. I have Abuka, St. Brown, and I traded Metcalf. Wait, what did you just call him? A buca? It's egg buca.
Starting point is 00:58:59 No, it's not. It's a buca. Damn it. Yeah. There's a video. Why do I ever challenge you on pronunciations when I know I stink at him? Someone else did someone left kind of a nasty comment about how I keep mispronouncing Abuka's name. I'm not saying the G. I'm saying it right.
Starting point is 00:59:15 And there's a video of him actually telling Rob Grancowski. They're, you know, zooming or whatever, telling him how to pronounce his name because he said a big book. This is disappointing to hear, but respect it. Okay. I traded Metcalf and Tedro-on-R-Tracket. Oh, wow. You traded Metcalf and Tetero-Mick-Millan for Lamb? Amazing trade.
Starting point is 00:59:35 I don't even know who would ever even consider doing this. that honestly i really want to find that league and play in it it was it was lamb's bi-week so what metcalf stinks in fantasy and i'm actually in real life too not a fan of him
Starting point is 00:59:49 from chop suey would you trade away juan jennings would you trade away jowon jennings for kate otton i don't think you should trade a tight end way jacobs
Starting point is 01:00:07 for Kate Auden because it's not a good trade to make this week or ever that was chop suey
Starting point is 01:00:22 yeah that was chop suey come on wow good for you that was great that was great man all right Jamie sorry would you trade
Starting point is 01:00:32 Joad Johnson for Kate Otton Joanne Jennings didn't even get the players right Oh, Joanne Jennings. I was thinking Joanne Johnson, anyway. But would you trade Joanne's for Cade Hutton? If you need a tight end, yes. He does.
Starting point is 01:00:46 Yeah, I would do that if you need it. If you need help right now, it's not bad. I guess I think you should. Brian Thomas Jr., Michael Wilson, or D.K. Metcalfe, bench one. Oh. Is Thomas a guarantee to play? No. I don't like Thomas playing.
Starting point is 01:01:02 Yeah, I don't think he's playing. So I guess just bench Thomas because he's not playing. And if he does play? Give me the names again. Brian Thomas Jr. Michael Wilson, D.K. Metcalfe, bench one. I probably bench Wilson. Is it Metcalf? What does Metcalf do for us on a weekly basis? He's playing the Bengals, so hopefully something.
Starting point is 01:01:24 Hertz or Mahomes? Harts or Mahomes? Mahomes. Really? I think I'm going to Hertz. Kyron or Jalen Warren? Warren. Kyron for me.
Starting point is 01:01:39 Warren. I know the matchup stinks, but I don't care. Would you start Aaron Jones, Jacori-Krosky Merritt, or Trey Tucker? Aaron Jones, by a lot. Yeah. I can't trust Jacori-Crossing Merit and Tucker's. Of course, not trustable.
Starting point is 01:01:55 I take it back, actually. I'm going to go Warren in that other spot. The match-ups too good. Jay Tupa wants to know, would you trade Bijan for, I mean, yeah, for CMC, yes. For Puka, would you trade Bijon for Puka? Yes.
Starting point is 01:02:12 You would definitely do it. It's a full PPR? Yeah. It's so hard to answer these without knowing they're running back in receiver situations, but assuming in a vacuum, yes. Would you trade him for JSN? Yes. Yeah, in a vacuum.
Starting point is 01:02:28 Jamar Chase. Yes. Yep. Bejohn for JSN is the one that I struggle with. You think he'll come down, J.S. I mean, he has to. He's averaging over five. over five yards per route run, which is impossible and not repeatable over time.
Starting point is 01:02:41 But, like, sometimes it just carries out throughout the whole season. Is this the worst of Bejan Robinson or is this the norm for Bejohn Robinson, no. The worst, I think. It may be, but that offense is really stymied. They're not creating the explosive plays in the run game. And he gets pulled in the red zone. No, he got pulled in the red zone last week. He doesn't always get pulled in the red zone.
Starting point is 01:03:01 No, I think the total red zone touches is really weighted toward Alger. Am I wrong about that? I don't look at red I don't know I don't look at red zone I really I really only look at inside the five yard line inside the three yard line 11 to 3 right or no this is no this is no this is no good these are bad stats sorry I mean if a guy gets a carry at the 18 yard line I don't really care it's the three yard line and they're basically even they've had very few for the year even even is not great though no it's not but they're only even because alger had two of them last week honestly I think they have something like five combined carries inside the five yard line this year okay in fact I want to look that up. So while I look that up, Dan, you have chat access, right? Yeah. Let's finish with some YouTube questions. Go ahead and pick some and I'll be right back. Okay. We'll start with Darrell G. who asks, would you trade Woody Marks for Marvin Harrison in full PPR? If we knew it's only a one week absence for Harrison, then I would say yes. If it's more than one week, I would probably say no. Okay. Pucci's uncle asks, I was offered T. Higgins and Rico Dowdell. And I got to give up
Starting point is 01:04:03 Travion Henderson. Would you do that? Yeah. In a heartbeat. That's a crazy offer. Great. Good for you. Just do it. Let's do this one now. I didn't want to put this up.
Starting point is 01:04:13 This is my nose strip guy. Ricky Pearson, Sean Tucker, or Keenan Allen, 0.5 PPR. I take a chance on Ricky here. Okay. Bad guy,
Starting point is 01:04:23 Rai, Dan, PPR, system of a down or rage against machine. Oh, it's an easy system of down for me. I love system of a down.
Starting point is 01:04:29 Really? Honestly. Yes. I think I would, I would have loved to see them live. I've heard now his vocals are shot, Sird, I was named Sir, not Serge, forgetting his name. It might be Serge. Whatever it was, he's like, in my opinion, one of the five best vocalists of the last decade. I stand by that.
Starting point is 01:04:43 The way he was able to hit different notes and different songs, I stand by. But I've heard his vocals are shots. I don't want to see them live anymore, but definitely system of the down. All right. Thank you for filling in here. So the Falcons, Bejohn Robinson has one carry from the three art line or closer. Tyler Alger has three. It was one to one going into week 10. year got two in week 10. Right. Now, that's an unbelievably low number. The Falcons have five team carries from the three-yard line or closer.
Starting point is 01:05:13 The only teams with less are the Saints, Vikings, Jets, and Dolphins. And how about this? The Falcons have five. The Colts have 21. The Colts have 21 carries from the three-yard line or closer. The Falcons have five. The Giants have 15. I mean, it's just so weird.
Starting point is 01:05:30 The Giants have somehow been good on offense this year. Yeah. Point three points per game. fewer than the Eagles. Wow. All right, Herbert or Caleb Williams this week? Herbert. Yeah, Herbert.
Starting point is 01:05:43 I don't like Caleb this week. Dinesh doesn't want us to disappoint him. He came here for a quick lunch and Dan's reaction to a dad joke. You missed the set. We had a whole dad joke segment. We already did our dad joke segment. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:54 I'm going to have to start laughing at them. That's all I know. Let's see what else we got. Pick three. Apparently, Josh says you're just ignoring his fantasy cops emails. He's emailed you three times now. Listen, I get about 20 a week. You do.
Starting point is 01:06:10 Legitimately, 20 a week. And I tend to pick the ones that are a little bit shorter. So just letting you know. Eddie Cook says he needs three in PPR. Giovante, Kieran, Warren, Genti. Ooh. Oh. I am sitting, Kiron.
Starting point is 01:06:28 I'm sitting, Gentie. I am so done with Gentie. Look, he might walk into. some touchdown still he did last week in the beginning of the game but just watching that game back for beyond the box score this past week the difference in their offense before and after ben powers johnson got hurt in that game was like night and day he was their last remaining decent offensive lineman and when he went out it was just a nightmare for that offensive line i think we're due for some really really bad blocking rest of season i guess he'll walk into some touchdowns randley but i'll
Starting point is 01:06:56 take kairn on the better offense even in a worse matchup jackson powers johnson I think it's Ben Powers Johnson? It is Jackson Powers Johnson. Jackson Power. Oh, I was thinking of Ben, the other guy. Okay, yeah, that was my bad, Keevon. It is Jackson. But it's worth noting.
Starting point is 01:07:12 Oregon lineman. And they're very beat up on the offensive line. Three guys are worse in the NFL. Zach Ertz or Mark Andrews this week? Andrews for me. Yeah, Andrews. I'm going to play Zach Ertz with Marks-Mariodin, no. Are they just ineffective at the goal line for the Falcons?
Starting point is 01:07:30 I don't know. I think it's just they don't get there that much. Well, it's not a bad question by Jim because they're just such an outside zone. You don't want to really relying on outside zone in the red zone if you don't have the guys up front who can block and duo or run power gap with and I'm not sure they have that on their line.
Starting point is 01:07:47 So it might be that. I don't know. Algiers definitely seems more effective specifically in the red zone. Let me see how many plays they've run from the three-yard line where that ranks. They've run the third fewest plays. The Dolphins have run in their offense
Starting point is 01:08:01 Not what we expected it to be Because Pennix can't get off his first reading And it's like second last in the NFL And on target throw percentage This is making me we consider Bijan a little bit here Yeah But these things can change He's not on the good offense we thought he would be
Starting point is 01:08:15 But for example You love it I mean people love A Chan right now right I mean I probably still like Bijan better A Chan's on a team that's run the fewest plays From the three yard liner in True But A Chan's scores from long more than Bja
Starting point is 01:08:27 And his role in the passing game Is a little bit more because of it Yeah yes But Bijon's a team Yeah. Well, who would you rather have rest of season? I still go on Bijon. It might be H.
Starting point is 01:08:36 It might be H. I'm going to go A. Jan. Herbert or Baker. Herbert or Baker, rest of season. I'll take Baker, but it's close. Herbert. Tracy, Mason, or Tucker. Pick one in PPR.
Starting point is 01:08:51 Tucker. Tucker. Yeah, let's roll the guys. Theo Johnson or Brenton Strange. Theo. Theo. Yeah. Pearsall, Debo, D.K, start two.
Starting point is 01:09:04 I'm sitting Debo. Pearsall and D.K. are the ones I'm starting as well. Yeah, not as high on D.K., even in a great matchup, but Debo is just a disaster right now. Adam and Dan remind me of an old married couple. We get that a lot. Pick a running back and a flex and PPR. Dowdell Harvey, Marks, Vidal. So just need two. Dowdle, Harvey, Marks, Vidal.
Starting point is 01:09:27 Dowdell and Marks. another thing Adam that I did I forgot to tell you that I was speaking with my brother about this weekend he like really wants he's been like taking up tennis like he's now he's all in on tennis the way I went all in on golf he wants to play you so we ought to set something up but more so he wants to play me and him versus you and your brother so we got to figure something now a little match the Schneiers versus the Azers I don't know when it's obviously going to have to be when it's warm unless you have a bubble that you play in at your club like can you play indoor in January I will rejoin my gym and I will have indoor indoor okay let's let's think about that the azers have to be favored in that one right because the lasers are definitely favored because my brother's just picking up tennis and he's getting good fat like solid fast um i told him he didn't like this i told him i think you would beat him because he's you're very similar game but you in that second set showed power and you were hitting winners and you were hitting with a lot more like you're driving the ball and i don't know if he
Starting point is 01:10:21 has that in his game yet um but your brother's supposed to be great so yeah he's he's really good so So I, I, I, I, I, I'm, So would your brother beat Dan? Yeah, I think so. Okay. So then you're definitely favorites in that. So, um, what was I going to say? Uh, I entered a doubles tournament.
Starting point is 01:10:40 Ooh. And my partner, I've never met him before, but I've chatted with him online, on text before. He randomly texted me a picture months ago of peanut butter in his refrigerator. If we recall that, because he watches our show. And I made fun of Dan for refrigerating peanut butter. And he is a peanut butter refrigerator guy. Petit butter is pretty damn good out of a fridge. Try it.
Starting point is 01:11:04 You might like it, everybody. It's pretty, pretty good when it's cold. I have three more questions, and then we're going to go. Okay. Let's see. Henry, Tett, or Addison? Henry. Who did you say?
Starting point is 01:11:18 Oh, is Derek Henry? Yeah. Derek Henry, without a doubt for me. Kate Aud and or Theo Johnson. Did we just do that one? I'm sorry. I don't think we did. No.
Starting point is 01:11:26 Okay, Theo. And last one. Do you think Jackson Darts play style will change when he comes back? It's a good question. Look, Kafka was the one, Kafka who's that interim head coach now, was the one calling these plays. So you would think, okay, it could remain the same. But I do think it's like we were waiting for that one, for that ball to drop with the injury. And now that he's hurt, I think we will get something coming down from ownership or the regime, you know, just let's not call as many design runs for him.
Starting point is 01:11:54 So it is worrisome because a lot of his fantasy points have obviously been via the ground. I think he has averaged a touchdown a game rushing, which is completely unsustainable. He had one game where he didn't score touchdown, but he had one game where he had two rushing touchdowns. So it's not really sustainable. So, yeah, I am a little worried. You also want to see from like an evaluation process, can he play in the pocket? Yeah. Don't put him in those situations, not just from a health standpoint, but also from a game standpoint.
Starting point is 01:12:19 Yeah. Like run if it's available to you, you see a running lane, slide, get out of bounds. You know, be smart about it. But to put him in those spots, like you're just taking away. Again, I understand they were trying to win. But now that you know, the season's definitely lost, like you're, this would all be just about evaluation. Yeah. We'll see what happens.
Starting point is 01:12:38 It's going to be interesting. Okay. Thanks, everybody. We will talk to you tomorrow. It's Sunday. Sunday on fantasy football today, bright and early. Have a great day. Have a great weekend.
