Starting point is 00:01:37 We got news on the Packers and Bucks receivers. We got news on Justin Herbert. This is Friday afternoon at 1.50 p.m. as we record. If you're listening on Saturday, you probably know all this news by now, but we'll also do some fantasy cops a little bit later. Good afternoon, Dan. What's up, man? What's up, Adam? We're both pretty excited today because for the first time in a while, well, I'm excited because I'm going to finally get to meet Adam Azer. Though I did, again, already meet him before, but he doesn't remember this. I remember it vividly. It had obviously it held a big place in my heart. It did nothing for him. But Monday night, we're both going to the Giants Cowboys game. We're excited because Adam
Starting point is 00:02:13 and me were talking about this before the pod. Neither of us have been to a live game for the Giants. And like for him, it's like five years for me, probably as long. So there's different reasons why he's even more excited for the game that I've learned that I cannot reveal right now. And we won't be talking about on this podcast, but listen, I can't wait to see the guy over there and give him some, give him some help because the Oreo take from last show, it's still range true that I was correct on that one. And all I know is I'm two and oh, against Adam and Tuesday night polls. Uh, that might be true. I also know that you and I are facing off in one of our leagues and I started at one of the leagues. I'm two and Owen. Yeah, it is. I started the Browns because every single one of the leagues I'm in, I'm two and oh, Browns DST, baby. I got that garbage.
Starting point is 00:02:52 Oh, you got that luck box TD. Of course you do. There you go. But I also had Kareem Hunt. So frustrating with Kareem Hunt gets stopped at the one yard line twice in a row and Nick Chubb comes in and gets the job done. Vultures it. Yeah. All right. Let's get some news and notes going here. Your emails are at fantasyfootballatcbsi.com. We had so many Apple podcast questions. I unfortunately was not able to read all of them or get all of them on the show, but I did get the majority of them on. Thank you for those five-star reviews.
Starting point is 00:03:19 They're very important for us. News and notes. Julio Jones could be a game-time decision. Cole Beasley could play this week for the Bucs. Alan Lazard wants to play, but he may not. He did practice on Friday, but the Packers are going to have to give him the
Starting point is 00:03:33 green light. Christian Watson also practiced. David Bocciari left tackle. He practiced on Friday for the Packers. Hopefully he can get out there. They've said that they need to get Romeo Dobbs more involved. Is there any wide receiver in this Bucs-Packers game, Dan, that you'd want to start this week? That's a really good question.
Starting point is 00:03:49 As far as starting goes, no. I feel like it's going to be impossible to predict. I think this game is going to go way under. I remember we talked about it, I think, on Monday's show or maybe it was Tuesday's stream. We couldn't even believe how low the under was. I think it's dropped to half points since then. I wouldn't start any receivers in this.
Starting point is 00:04:05 All right. How about James Connor game time decision against the Rams? So we'll see what happens there. He's a number two running back if he plays. And if he doesn't play, Daryl Williams is a number three running back. Desperation. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:20 Rashad Bateman mispracticed today for a personal issue, but he will play. And so will Devin Duvernay. He's back out of the concussion protocol. Justin Herbert is not certain to play. No. So what do you make of that? If he didn't play, how much would it change things for you?
Starting point is 00:04:35 Well, it does change a lot for me. Any league, I didn't get one of the big three tight ends, and I have Gerald Everett, so that's a big problem because I don't want to play Gerald Everett with Chase Daniel. It downgrades every single one of those players players including the only person who might benefit from it would be an eckler type because they might lean on him even more especially in the short passing game yeah i let's hope it doesn't happen i don't want to have to answer questions do i start mike williams no i know garrett wilson or even worse than that you know so it's just hope he plays yeah uh Keenan Allen hopefully will play as well.
Starting point is 00:05:07 And Buffalo's defense is really beat up. You know, Tua's start percentage right now, I speculated it would be close to 70%, but I think I'm way off because as of right now, it's in the 20s. That was after, you know, that's on Friday. And people set their lineups, you know, they set their lineup for Thursday.
Starting point is 00:05:24 So I don't know what it's going to be, but I suspect most fantasy players say, well, he's basing the Bills. They're amazing. They might still be, but their defense is so beat up. They might be without both starting safeties. At least one's going to be out. They're beat up up front.
Starting point is 00:05:41 One of their cornerbacks is going to be out. So it could be basically all backups in the secondary. I wonder how you feel about Tua Tungavailoa. I think one thing people are looking at a little too in-depth into is the scores of the Bills-Dolphins games from last
Starting point is 00:05:58 year. They're saying, look at how bad it was for Miami's offense last year. I'm like, well, guess what? It's a completely different offensive system. I've got to throw it all out. Not to mention, different system, and they didn't have Tyreek Hill on the field. So I throw all that out. I'm kind of with you.
Starting point is 00:06:12 I think Tua is a better starter. It's definitely worth starting in more than 20% of leagues. That's obvious. Yeah, it's up to 26 right now. I would start Derek Carr over Tua against the Titans. I would start Cousins against the Lions. But I would start Tua over Wentz. I would start Tua over Brady and Rodgers.
Starting point is 00:06:34 I'm the only person who likes Russell Wilson this week. I would start Wilson over Tua. How do you feel about Wilson this week? Sunday night against the Niners. Yeah, what do we know on the Judy status? We think he's out, right? I haven't seen anything good about Jerry Judy, so I'm assuming nothing good about that.
Starting point is 00:06:50 It's not just that. Hamler's also probably out. Hamler's been practicing, actually. He might play, but... Might play, but... I think probably limited. I don't love Russell Wilson this week. I actually think D'Amico Ryan's,
Starting point is 00:07:02 the 49ers defensive coordinator, is the most underrated defensive coordinator in the NFL. I love what he does. So I think that's going to be a bad game for Russell Wilson this week. I actually think D'Amico Ryan's, the 49ers defensive coordinator, is the most underrated defensive coordinator in the NFL. And I love what he does. So I think that's going to be a bad game for Russell Wilson. Okay. So you'd start two over him?
Starting point is 00:07:12 I would start two over him. There's almost no better feeling than sinking into the couch for a long Sunday of football. But you know what's even better? Watching football on Sunday and having the chance to win free cash.

Starting point is 00:08:02 again, with these types of questions, we need context. We need to know your running back situation. We need to know your running back situation. We need to know your wide receiver situation. It's there. It's right there. Having said that... Yes, you should do it. He has Amandra St. Brown, Justin Jefferson, and Cortland Sutton, and his running backs aren't good.
Starting point is 00:08:16 So, yes, you should do it. Yeah, well, then that's... You should do it anyway. Give me a break. Mix it ahead of me. Anyway, Adam, in a full PPR league, that's an anyway for you? Mixon is...
Starting point is 00:08:24 Yeah, Mixon's going to catch some passes. What? When does Mixon ever a pin man. Anyway, Adam, in a full PPR league, that's an anyway for you? Mixon is going to catch some passes. What? When does Mixon ever catch passes? Week one, buddy. I know. He did. He did. He caught a lot of passes at the end of the year.
Starting point is 00:08:35 He's among the leaders in routes run among running backs. Joe Mixon, he's a 25-touch running back. Maybe not. 20-touch running back. Come on. Come on. Come on, Schneier. Did you read Ben Solak's article this week in The Ringer about that Bengals offense?
Starting point is 00:08:50 No. It was not pretty. It's not the offensive line. From everything I've heard, it's not the offensive line. It's Burrow right now. That's the summary. Burrow is not playing good football. He can't figure out how to beat the too high look,
Starting point is 00:09:05 which is the same thing that Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen struggled with for like a six-game stretch last year. So I think they'll figure it out, but it could be a few more ugly games. You know who's getting better from that? Who? Joe Mixon.
Starting point is 00:09:16 He should. This is from Dre Dub Sucka. 16-team PPR. I had Trey Lance. All right. This is a lot of names here. He gave up Tua,
Starting point is 00:09:30 Justin Jefferson, James Connor, A.J. Dillon, and I won't even read the rest. He got back Josh Allen, Leonard Fournette, Miles Sanders, Alan Lazard.
Starting point is 00:09:46 No. I don't like that. I do. What do you mean, yes? You like that? Such a quarterback upgrade. He just lost Justin Jefferson. He got Leonard Fournette.
Starting point is 00:09:56 No, he gave Conor got Fournette and lost Jefferson for Lazard. But he did get Fournette. Fournette for Conor. Well, it doesn't matter who it's for. The upgrade... Yes, it does. We're comparing what the trade is. So we gain a little at running back. We gain a little...
Starting point is 00:10:11 We gain a decent amount at quarterback. Yeah. And we lose everything at receiver here. We lose everything. He also got Miles Sanders. He gave up A.J. Dillon. Yeah, that's even worse. I'd rather A.J. Dillon than Miles Sanders.
Starting point is 00:10:23 Man, Josh Allen, though, is just, like, incredible. What? This is a one-quarterback league? Yeah. I'm out. I'm out on this worse. I'd rather HG. Dylan. Josh Allen though. It's just like, what is the one quarterback league? Yeah, I'm out. I'm out on this. All right. All right. He still has DJ more Traylon Burks and Daryl Henderson.
Starting point is 00:10:33 Don't give up Justin Jefferson or Cooper cup. If you have them on your team, unless you get insane amount offered, you need a top five player to give those guys up. All right. This is for, you know, honestly,
Starting point is 00:10:42 Josh Allen might be a top five player, not in one quarterback league. 16 team league. If you think that, then you should be taking him next year, Adam, in our mock drafts in the round one, which you never do. Or round two. Don't challenge me like that. This is from Jonathan.
Starting point is 00:10:58 This is from Jonathan. Can we get a boxing match between Adam and Heath? You could charge $5 to watch and donate the proceeds. Wait, now there's Adam Heath beef that i don't know about oh adam heath beef or beef has been going on for years absolutely i feel like there's all sorts of beef fft beef that i don't know about most imaginary let's just be clear about that because we know sometimes people think that are most for fun i'm saying sometimes people think it's real it's not but the adam heath beef that one is that one might be something I need to look a few years ago.
Starting point is 00:11:26 I called him an idiot moron on the show because he dropped, he dropped, he dropped Carson Wentz back when I thought Carson Wentz was good. He dropped Carson Wentz for that wide receiver on the jets who had a neck injury that unfortunately ended his career. Oh, Quincy Anuma. Yeah, he dropped Carson Wentz or Quincy Anuma in a 10-team league. And I was like, he did it on the air.
Starting point is 00:11:55 And I just lost my mind. Aren't you the same guy who once dropped Justin Jefferson his rookie season for like nothing? For Peyton Barber. Yeah. Did he lose his mind on you when that happened? He had six the thing he did it on our team oh that I completely understand yeah yeah yeah he's on our team he dropped Carson Wentz for Quincy on the air wow yeah I know all right here's the question from Jonathan yes we can get a boxing match going on, except,
Starting point is 00:12:25 uh, I, I don't think I'll be participating in it. A running back, a wide receiver and a flex and PPR. The running backs are Dylan Robinson and Clyde. Okay. Running back receiver.
Starting point is 00:12:37 The running backs are Dylan Robinson, James Robinson, I assume. And Clyde, we need one of those. Yeah. I have an unpopular take on that one. Oh,
Starting point is 00:12:44 I'm going to go Clyde. Yeah, I'm going to go Clyde. Yeah, I'm going to go Dylan. I figure most people will probably go Clyde. Yeah, their run defense hasn't been very good. I don't know what to make of it, but I just think they're going to try to run, run, run so much. And I do think he'll be more involved in the passing game. I remember he had a ton of catches in week one, but that's fine.
Starting point is 00:13:00 Most people take Clyde, so go for Clyde. Jerry Judy's back practicing by stretching, so it, so good sign there. Stretching. Now we need a wide receiver. Curtis Samuel, Alan Robinson, Jerry Judy, Drake London. No, for now, let's just say Judy. We can't put him in because we don't know if he's going to play.
Starting point is 00:13:18 I would go Drake London there. Drake London, man. There is reason to believe that you should be buying high on Drake London right now. And I know he's had two good weeks, so it is a buy high. But the usage rates for him are absurd right now. Yeah, so London would be the wide receiver, and then the flex would be Judy if he plays. And for me, it'd be Dylan if he doesn't.
Starting point is 00:13:39 This is PPR? Uh-huh. Yes? Yes. Full? Yes. Okay, well, no, it's definitely not going to be Dylan for me. Let me just hear the other receiver options. This is PPR? Uh-huh. Yes? Yes. Full? Yes. Okay. Well, no, it's definitely not going to be Dylan for me.
Starting point is 00:13:47 Let me just hear the other receiver options. Do you not have the notes I emailed them to you, didn't I? I did. They're Curtis Samuel, Alan Robinson. Hold on. I'm scrolling. I'm scrolling. Okay.
Starting point is 00:13:58 Curtis Samuel for me, especially full PPR. Chef Joel Christie needs some help in a half PPR league. RB2 and a flex from the following. Jeff Wilson, Damian Pierce, Rashad Penny. Give me the RB2. RB2 and a flex. Jeff Wilson for me. Same.
Starting point is 00:14:18 And then a flex. Pierce, Penny, Juju, Dotson, Noah Brown. Pierce, Penny, Juju, Dotson, Noah Brown. Pierce. Penny, Juju, Dotson, Noah Brown. Can we flex one of these first guys? Why not? David Pierce. Yeah, Wilson and Pierce. Danny has a trade question.
Starting point is 00:14:35 Wow, we agreed. Let's go, Adam. We did. Who would you rather have after week two, Sutton or Fournette? Yeah, for me, it depends on if it's his full PPR or not. I know actually, me and Adam actually had a similar debate, I think, on Tuesday's show. I go Sutton, I'm sure it's Fournette for you, right, Adam?
Starting point is 00:14:50 Yes, it's Fournette. I don't understand. That's probably the right answer, by the way. It is the right answer. If you were drafting... Not definitely, don't say it. If you were drafting today, at what round does the first running back come off the board?
Starting point is 00:15:01 Jonathan Taylor is what, like round four or five for you? No, I'm still taking jt i i had there here are the running backs i thought presented decent value at their price this year taylor mcafree barkley fournette swift um and i was okay on javante williams out of the top backs those are the only ones i've thought presented value so fournette was in that and so i think ultimately Fournette is a good pick. The problem is a lot has changed since I liked, since the drafts from Fournette left tackle Donovan Smith. Yeah, he might be back this week, but he's playing hurt. They've lost multiple players as wide receiver position.
Starting point is 00:15:34 So overall, that offense is just not functioning the way I needed it to be for Fournette to be the value that I want them to be. That's short term, in my opinion. Maybe, but I mean, look, we don't know if Godwin's injury is going to linger. We don't know if this Julio at this point. I mean, you liked him in the pre-draft process. I'm thinking I'm totally out on that take because this guy's just always hurt. His body is breaking down.
Starting point is 00:15:55 Here's a question from Adam. 12-team, three-wide receiver. Did you read this one just because it was an Adam? Yeah. No. I thought so. Currently, all right, he's in a 12-team, three-receiver, and PPR flex, and flex full PPR lead.
Starting point is 00:16:09 Start two of the following. At least one has to be a wide receiver. Miles Sanders, Daryl Henderson, Jeff Wilson, Robbie Anderson, Chris Olave, and Drake London. First, would you say that was the worst joke I ever attempted to make on FFT history? The Adam thing?
Starting point is 00:16:25 That Adam thing was so bad. It could have been worse. I don't know if I've ever done worse than that. Maybe you've not. I need to start two, at least one receiver. Drake London. London, for sure, as far as... But he needs to start two.
Starting point is 00:16:38 Yeah, there's an easy one. London and Wilson for me. Or London and Sanders. Yeah, London and Sanders for sure. This is, you're going to be right on that Sanders thing, Adam. I hope so.
Starting point is 00:16:49 He's all he has to do is stay healthy. Looks good, man. He looks good. Well, the Eagles offense is just tremendous. This is from, what is this?
Starting point is 00:16:59 Dennis, punky, Zach and Steve. No idea. Yeah. Dennis, punky, Zach and Steve.
Starting point is 00:17:04 I do. Is anyone ever good at these Adam? Like, is anyone on our staff good at these, like nail Steve. No idea. Yeah. Dennis, Punky, Zach, and Steve. I do not know. Is anyone ever good at these, Adam? Like, is anyone on our staff good at these, like, nailing these every time? Yeah, if you have Google. No, no. I mean, without Google.
Starting point is 00:17:13 No, I wouldn't say nail it every time. All right, Ben's question. We have a league mate that puts Michael Gallup on IR when he's ruled out, and then he leaves Gallup in the IR when he's upgraded to questionable. Does this player have to put him out of the IR to use the roster spot when he's ruled out. And then he leaves Gallup in the IR when he's upgraded to questionable. Does this player have to put him out of the IR to use the roster spot when he's questionable?
Starting point is 00:17:29 The site allows for it. So I tell the league, everyone can do it, so I do not deem it illegal. And P.S., I am that player. Yeah, Ben, I am a big believer in whatever the site allows, you allow. And if you have an issue with that,
Starting point is 00:17:42 because here's the thing. We used to, in my league, try to do this whole thing where you would police it and you'd be like, oh, if he's not on, I are, he's on our, that led to so many problems because people who's going to track all that, right? Like who's going to sit there. It would be your job, I guess, is commish. And that's not fair to the commish. So I think whatever the site allows should go. I think that's a very lazy approach to it. And it gets you to the wrong conclusion. Because no, Michael Gallup should not be in an IR spot. Are you kidding? Well, then fix it on this.
Starting point is 00:18:10 Well, I guess he can. If you're on CBS, you can fix that. Who's going to police that, Adam? If you're on CBS, you can make it so that only players on IR or PUP can go in an IR spot, which is what you should do. But if you're not on CBS, then you have to police it or police your opponent. War of the Story, play fantasy sports on CBS, then you have to police it or police your opponent. Warless story.
Starting point is 00:18:25 Play fantasy sports on CBS. There you go. Harrison Butker has been ruled out. Oh. Yeah, sorry, guys. That kills all my lineups. Shaq Leonard has also been ruled out. That one is a little more interesting.
Starting point is 00:18:39 Yeah. Okay. More questions from Apple Podcasts. From Tony in a town in Georgia that has the best team in college football. Yeah, they do. That would be Athens. Yep. Cool town.
Starting point is 00:18:52 I traded McLaurin and Pollard for Najee Harris and Kyle Pitts. What? Dude, you see my handle. Reach out to me on Twitter. Invite me to this league. I'll play it. A plus. From No Name,
Starting point is 00:19:08 what do I do with Zeke and Alan Robinson? Is there a player that I could package them up for and try to get? Or does everybody already understand that they are trouble? Zeke and Alan Robinson. Yeah, I mean, I'm not a big believer in selling apps at their absolute floors,
Starting point is 00:19:21 which is what you'd be doing right now by selling either of these two players. So I don't think so. I think the answer is no. You got to hold. Okay, so I'm just getting some injury updates here. Sure. Josh Jacobs mispracticed with an illness.
Starting point is 00:19:34 Hunter Renfro is still out with a concussion. And Denzel Perryman, starting middle linebacker for them, is out today with an ankle injury. That's Friday. Okay, from Anthobel. I just traded Drake London and Antonio Gibson for Kyle Pitts. I was the Cole Komet manager. What do you think about this trade,
Starting point is 00:19:54 giving up London and Gibson for Kyle Pitts? This is a very, very interesting trade because on the surface, it seems like you're buying low on Pitts, and that's an amazing thing to do because before the season, right, everyone loved pits. The tight end believers like myself are saying you can take them as early as mid to late round three. You weren't taking London there. You certainly weren't taking Gibson anywhere near there either, but what we've learned so far this
Starting point is 00:20:17 season is Drake London is going to be a force all year, at least in my opinion. That seems completely obvious to me. His target share is amazing. His route percentage is amazing. And ultimately what Arthur Smith said this week, the Falcons coach really stood out to me. He's like, look, if defenses are going to continue to play us the way they have been, and that means bracket coverage on Kyle Pitts, we are not going to force the football to Kyle Pitts. He's like big games will come, blah, blah, blah. But the main thing he said was we're not forcing the ball into bracket coverage. So I still think Drake London is going to lead that team in targets and receptions and everything. So I kind of wouldn't do this deal. I know you're hoping to get the tight end advantage there, and it might still happen.
Starting point is 00:20:54 But, man, Adam, I feel horrible about all my Kyle Pitts shares. I don't feel like this is a clear buy low right now. I think it's a clear buy low. I just don't know that Drake London is a clear sell high. He might just be really good. You think Pitts is a clear buy low right now i think it's a clear buy low i just don't know that drake london is a clear sell high he might just be really good you know i think it's a clear buy low though i think so i mean look could his value get any lower it could stay you know the would you take him over dallas goddard i think that's a tough tight end wise yeah of course well with the way the eagles offense has been clicking you know i don't don't know. No, but upside wins championships.
Starting point is 00:21:26 Yeah, I would still probably do that. Nobody should be shocked that this week Drake London has 40 yards and Kyle Pitts finally gets going. It's possible. Yeah, that could be a back and forth all year. If they keep playing bracket, at one point the teams start to cover Drake London with more.
Starting point is 00:21:44 That's a good question. Yeah, right. All right. From a team, 10 team PPR league. Who should I start between Lamb, Waddle, Mike Williams, and Brandon Cooks? Sit one of them. Lamb, Waddle, Mike Williams, Brandon Cooks. Waddle, you obviously have to lock in.
Starting point is 00:22:03 Williams. So Williams, look, if Chase daniel plays if they don't play justin herbert i'm not worried about that but waddle he's what he's he's starting how many how many we're saying he needs to sit one lamb waddle mike williams or brandon cooks i mean if herbert plays i'm sitting lamb okay i was either gonna say him or cooks or cooks because that could be a gross low-scoring game. It's tough. I don't love him with Cooper Rush.
Starting point is 00:22:28 I know he's funneling targets there, but those are not good targets. I think that's a good call. I mean, you get 10 to 12 targets, two games in a row for Cooks going up against the Bears should be good. Yeah. All right, this is from a new dad who listens every day with his newborn. Thank you. Zoan 2 needs two flex flex in a PPR McLaurin,
Starting point is 00:22:46 DJ more London, Jeff Wilson, Juju, Damien Harris, Raheem Mostert. So for me, at least I'm going to rule out all of these running backs to start in a full PPR,
Starting point is 00:22:58 especially because they're the Wilson, Damon Harris, Mostert types who don't get targets anyway. Okay. So now I need two receivers from McLaurin, DJ Moore, London, and Juju. This is tough. I think I'm curious who you're going to go, Adam, because I think we might have completely different picks here.
Starting point is 00:23:16 I'm going to go. Yeah, go ahead. I'm going London and Juju. I'm going London and Moore. Okay. But don't feel confident in it. Don't either. Neither of us said mclaren no no md juarez 10 team half ppr league three wide receivers and a flex i traded marquise brown and daryl henderson for mike williams nice great trade all right from no name i've started
Starting point is 00:23:41 dj moore each of the first two weeks. I was able to add Drake London. Should I start London over DJ more? Wow. What a league. You got London off waivers. Impressive. We just kind of went over this in the last one. I said,
Starting point is 00:23:54 yes, Adam said no. Yeah, I go more. Yeah, we're split on this, but I think he can go either way from TM caps. If you had Cole Komet,
Starting point is 00:24:09 would you trade away Austin Eckler and Amari Cooper for Alvin Kamara and George Kittle? No, hell no. We're trading for Alvin Kamara, who's injured, and Kittle, who's back for now, potentially, but probably not even yet. Jeez, sorry. You're so angry about it. I'm sorry to TM Caps.
Starting point is 00:24:27 We're trading two great players. You didn't deserve that. You're a player. You didn't deserve that. I'm so sorry. He is right. You didn't deserve that. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:24:36 I'm sorry. All right. Let's see. Bud Dupree has been ruled out for the Titans. Taylor LeJuan has been ruled out for the Titans. Oof. That's not good. That offensive line is so gross.
Starting point is 00:24:48 Alright, let's take a break. When we come back, we're settling your league disputes. We'll be right back on Fantasy Football Today. That is me hitting the wrong button, ladies and gentlemen. And that is me playing the fantasy.
Starting point is 00:25:05 I thought you were just trying to give yourself a round of applause for how great of a host you are. button, ladies and gentlemen. And that is me playing the fantasy cop. I thought you were just trying to give yourself a round of applause for how great of a host you are. I do that after every show in a mirror, so I don't need to do it out of the air. Adam and Dan back here to settle your league disputes with the fantasy cops. Here we go. This one's from Danny. Dear Dangle,
Starting point is 00:25:21 Junior, Garcia, and Jones. Spranos characters? Just kidding. Reno 911. Reno 911. I never saw that show. Really underrated. And the movie is so funny.
Starting point is 00:25:32 I've heard. All right, 10-team, 1QB, PPR, Dynasty League. A trade went through yesterday between two teams, and it threw our league into chaos. One of the owners is a massive Dolphins fan. He's bragged about having Tua in four other leagues as well as Hill and Waddle in some leagues. So Tua was on waivers in this 10-team league
Starting point is 00:25:49 and was picked up for $199 out of a $200 FAB budget by a different manager. The Tua lover then proceeded to trade away Derek Henry, Aaron Rodgers, a 2024 first-round pick, and $190 in fab to get back Tua and Elijah Mitchell. This is such a disaster. We have no veto process or anything like that. Most of the league members have no issue with it as their mentality is all trades are fine except collusion.
Starting point is 00:26:20 However, there are a few who are genuinely upset that this could be a huge competitive shift in the league. And now everyone is going to want this type of return for their younger guys, making trading not likely to happen. Out of spite, two of the people against this then made a trade of Camara for Skymore to prove a point, I guess. I'm usually in the camp of, as long as it's no collusion, the trade should stand, but I've never seen this level of lopsidedness in a trade before. What should we do? What a question, because I am also usually in the camp of no trade should ever be veto unless there's collusion. However, having said that, like I've mentioned before on podcast, there's, there was once an issue in one of my leagues. I think Adam hates the story, but I'm telling it again. It looks like he really hates it.
Starting point is 00:26:58 No, I'm good. If you're watching, I'm laying back. I'm actually really not feeling well today. So I'm struggling physically. I'm just chilling in my chair. Go ahead. Well, one time in a league I was in, we had a manager doing something similar, but it wasn't collusion. So what we eventually had to do was vote to remove that manager from the league. He was too bad at fantasy football to play in the league. And that decision, by the way, has been laughed at and joked about for years now. And we're friends with a guy, and it wasn't a, it wasn't a decision we, we are happy about. We look, we regret it because it wasn't nice.
Starting point is 00:27:30 But the problem here is like, I want to still be a league where you don't veto things, but then you look at it like, wow, this really does screw up the competitive balance of the league because Derrick Henry, Aaron Rogers at 2024 first, and it's the budget. So essentially the dude paid $ dollars in free agent money for derrick henry aaron rogers and a 2024 first round pick he now has a massive rookie pick by the way it's a dynasty league oh okay a rookie pick that's still amazing those things are worth and what was this guy doing just to get to it and why was to it on the waiver wire in it in a dynasty yeah that's another good question there's just so much going on here that I don't understand, but the Camaras-Kymor thing was just wild.
Starting point is 00:28:08 That one needs to be reversed immediately. Immediately. You cannot make a trade like that and just approve it to the rest of the league trade. That gets reversed. I would let the other one stand because, you know, I mean, once upon a time,
Starting point is 00:28:22 Isaiah Thomas signed Eddie Curry for like $50 million. Or no, Jerome James. And we had to live with it. We didn't have the commissioner step in and go, no, Isaiah Thomas is too bad at being a general manager. So I would let this one slide. David Stern did once. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:39 The Chris Paul thing, right? I'm usually one to be like, no, reverse it. But what if Tua becomes amazing? What if he becomes amazing in a dynasty league? Yes. You know? So I think it's okay. And Aaron Rodgers is done.
Starting point is 00:28:54 So that's the thing. That's the main reason you can't reverse this. Aaron Rodgers is done. Okay. Not done. Not done. We're going to regret that. He's retiring in a year or two.
Starting point is 00:29:00 He's retiring in a year or two. All right. This is from Colin. He says, dear Giannis, Drew, Chris, and Brooke. Those are bucks. I'm the commissioner for a competitive family league that includes several generations of family members. I have a reputation of making good trades that can look like steals by the end of the year. The youngest manager is my 12-year-old cousin. He is by no means a bad manager. He finished eighth last year.
Starting point is 00:29:28 But he's definitely the least experienced of the group. Said cousin has players I want to trade for, but I don't want to make a trade offer if my other family members think I'm taking advantage of his inexperience. Should I be more cautious in sending a trade offer to my 12-year-old cousin in this situation, even if it's the same offer I'd send to any other manager if they had the same team? And he has an example of a trade he'd make.
Starting point is 00:29:47 It would be give Brandon Cooks and Daryl Henderson, Racine Pitts, and Olave, which I think is a perfect deal. I don't even know if you're winning that trade, so go ahead and send that one. Yeah, I think you are probably winning that, but it's close. It's really close, and that's totally fair to offer. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:30:00 I'm a believer that you should just treat him like any regular member of the league. I think that's how he'd want to be treated. It's the best way he's going to learn. And, you know, he'll get better as time goes. Like you said, it's inexperience. And this is the experience he needs making trades. So I'm fine with it. OK, last one from Noah Brenner. Thanks, Adam. This is actually a baseball question, but I couldn't find your baseball email. That's because it doesn't exist.
Starting point is 00:30:27 I'm in a head-to-head points league. We're now in the playoffs. I was late with setting my lineup by 10 minutes. My opponent agreed to allow me to swap out some players so we could have a true competitive match. However, the league manager flat out refused on the account that it broke the rules. This is a money league, but it's also a social league.
Starting point is 00:30:46 We're all old high school friends now in our 50s. For context, the draft is live. It's an extremely casual event with a party atmosphere. Sometimes guys take 10 to 15 minutes to draft a single player. So I'm absolutely baffled as to why the league manager is now adhering to such cutthroat rules. I was hoping you and the crew could discuss. All right, he was 10 minutes late to set his lineup. His opponent said, it's fine.
Starting point is 00:31:09 The league manager, the commissioner said, nope, can't do it. What do you think? I am so with Noah Brenner on this one. This is an awful decision by the league manager. Would you say this is a Noah brainer? This is a Noah brainer. Nice, nice. That one was better than my earlier joke by far.
Starting point is 00:31:24 Oh, sure. I get it. That's obvious. brainer. Nice. Nice. That was better than my earlier joke by far. Oh, sure. Yeah. Well, that's obvious, but, but look, no,
Starting point is 00:31:30 this is unfair. First of all, you guys are in your fifties. Now this is a little much by the league manager. It was 10 minutes late. It's a social league. People are taking 15 minutes to make a draft pick. It's for fun.
Starting point is 00:31:40 The other manager agreed. That's the key thing here. The guy you're facing agreed. If he had said like, now I want you to play the bad guys that are benched and injured. Then it's like, all right, I guess he's the key thing here. The guy you're facing agreed. If he had said, like, now I want you to play the bad guys that are benched and injured, then it's like, all right, I guess he's sticking to the rules. But this dude agreed. So this is
Starting point is 00:31:51 no a-brainer for me. Yeah, I had a similar situation in the baseball league. I'm the commissioner. I remember when one of our producers, he missed his lineup by like an hour, and he got really bad at me for not letting him change it. Very personal. of our producers. He missed his lineup by like an hour. And he got really bad at me for not letting him change it.
Starting point is 00:32:07 Very personal. I'll say this, Noah. Were you respectful when you stated your case to the league manager commissioner? I feel like, all right, I should be allowed
Starting point is 00:32:17 to make these changes because the other manager agreed. Because let me tell you, the person who texted Adam, I wouldn't call that respect that he showed him. No, he was so mean about it. It was hilarious.
Starting point is 00:32:26 All right. Those are your fantasy cops questions. Thank you very much. Keep them coming in. These are emails from fantasyfootballatcbsi.com. Matthias Souza is in a half-point PPR league
Starting point is 00:32:36 where you start three receivers. So pick three. Thielen, Aguilar, Burks, Noah Brown, Sterling Shepard. And would you play any of these over Zeke at flex? Thielen, Aguilar, Burks, Noah Brown, Sterling Shepard. And would you play any of these over Zeke at flex? Thielen, Aguilar, Burks, Noah Brown, Sterling Shepard. I'm looking at them now. I'm thinking about it.
Starting point is 00:32:55 We need three of these. Yeah, Aguilar is pretty interesting because Jacoby Myers may not play. Thielen is what I'm definitely going with. I guess. Burks I'm going with. I don't like any of these players. I guess Burks is the only one if he's playing,
Starting point is 00:33:09 if he's fully healthy and going. Thielen, I guess. No, I would not start any of these guys over Zeke. All right, so Thielen, Burks, and I would say Aguilar if Myers is out, and Sterling Shepard if Myers is in. How'd you get to the point where you have to play three of these guys, man?
Starting point is 00:33:22 I don't know. That's why he's 0-2. From Trey. Okay. This is a 2-0 keeper league, four points for passing touchdown leagues. Should I trade Mahomes for Jalen Hurts? I cannot keep Mahomes anymore after this season,
Starting point is 00:33:40 and I can keep Hurts for a ninth rounder next year with two more years after this season. I love this trade for you. I think there's a non-zero chance Jalen Hurts outscores Patrick Mahomes this year. It's not probable, I would say, but it's definitely possible with the rushing floor and the rushing upside.
Starting point is 00:34:00 Then you get to keep him for two more years after that. And it's four point. And it's four point, right. Yeah, and I think you should probably... Then you get to keep them for two more years after that. And it's four point. And it's four point, right. Yeah, and I think you should probably, you know, can we get rid of non-zero chance and maybe make it more like a little bit bolder? There's a- You hate non-zero chance.
Starting point is 00:34:16 You hate anti-fragility. You hate all- Anti-fragility is ridiculous. No, it's not. Although I did read about it in stock market terms and it does kind of make some sense. Okay, that's what I thought. Read about non-zero.
Starting point is 00:34:29 I think I know what non-zero is. That one's easy. Okay. All right, this is from Brett. I have Nick Chubb. Should I trade Nick Chubb for Saquon Barkley in half PPR? This is a snap yes for me. Adam, you're soft?
Starting point is 00:34:43 No, I'm going to say no. I know. You've been off the Barkley train forever. How good is Nick Chubb?. Adam, you're soft? No. I'm going to say no. I know. You've been off the Barkley train forever. How good is Nick Chubb? I mean, come on, folks. He is the best running back, pure running back in football. But that doesn't necessarily mean he's going to be better than Barkley the rest of the year in fantasy.
Starting point is 00:34:56 He doesn't have as much ceiling from receiving upside. He does not. Half PPR, I'm taking Chubb. Full PPR, I'd take Barkley. That's fair. I will say this. I am higher on Chubb and Cooper and Nujoku and anyone that I've ever been after actually watching Jacoby Brissett last night.
Starting point is 00:35:12 He was freaking good last night. I don't care what anyone says. All right, good. I'm glad you brought this up. I'm glad you brought this up, and I'm glad you tweeted about his velocity because I was watching and thinking the same thing. He is throwing the ball as hard as he possibly can every time, basically.
Starting point is 00:35:25 But he was just throwing fastballs. The one that went off Cooper's face mask. Yeah, okay. So Jacoby Brissett played well. Geno Smith played well in week one. Right. Sam Darnold played well for four games last year. Jared Goff scored 20 or more fantasy points
Starting point is 00:35:40 in three of the first four games in 2021. I do not believe it. I do not buy it. I think the biggest takeaway from yesterday's game is that the Steelers secondary is awful. They have no pass rush without TJ Watt. They are a cake matchup. They have allowed four wide receivers to go over 95 yards. Chase Cooper, Jacoby Myers, and Nelson Aguilar. Cooper just went over 100 yards in back-to-back games for the first time since 2016. I'm still going with the longer track record
Starting point is 00:36:11 of Jacoby Brissett being really bad for fantasy. This is not the best wide receiver he's ever played with. I would say Cooper's right up there with T.Y. Hilton, and T.Y. Hilton had two bad years with Jacoby Brissett in between great years with Andrew Luck. So I'm just not buying it. I do think sell high. Of course, there's the Deshaun Watson thing for the last few games of the year for the playoffs. So if you're three, you know, after this week and you have Cooper, then less of urgency to buy or to sell. But I don't know. I think a lot of people, I got
Starting point is 00:36:41 the sense from Dave and Jamie that they were more in on the Browns offense. I don't know. I think a lot of people, I got the sense from Dave and Jamie that they were more in on the Browns offense. I don't want to speak for them. I'm getting the sense from you as well. And I'm just not. I still think that they're going to be a really bad offense and they're going to be extremely run heavy going forward. I understand the reservations for sure. I just feel like for me, the big thing here is always Kevin Stefanski. I think he's one of the better play callers in the NFL. Watching that game, when he takes the third and one shot down the field to cooper that's just genius play calling right there you fairly see any uh you know every any coordinator have the cojones to make that play and there's such a good you know he's facing single he got
Starting point is 00:37:16 exactly the look he wanted cooper was wide open in the middle of the field it's actually a great play call so i just like watching that offense i think they're going to throw more i think they're going to be more efficient i guess guess, in the passing game than expected. They might not throw as much as we want. Kevin Savansky has non-zero anti-fragile cojones. I would say. Question
Starting point is 00:37:35 from Angie. Need your advice. What's that, Angie? That's Rolling Stones. Garrett Wilson or Christian Kirk? If you couldn't tell, I didn't sound just like Mick Jagger there. No, you Rolling Stones. Garrett Wilson or Christian Kirk? Oh, yeah, yeah. You couldn't tell? I didn't sound just like Mick Jagger there? No, you did not. Garrett Wilson or Christian Kirk?
Starting point is 00:37:51 Kirk. Kirk, yeah. From Alex. It's a tough matchup, but Kirk. Pick two of three. Juju, Garrett Wilson, Curtis Samuel. Yeah, I'm not off the Juju train after one bad week. I still think he's going to be more involved like he was week one
Starting point is 00:38:05 before they benched all their starters. So I'm juju here, and I am, that's a tougher one, Wilson. From Brandon, two flex PPR league. I've got Aaron Jones, Jeff Wilson, and Kelsey starting. I need four more out of seven. Let's see, who are we eliminating let's eliminate shepherd shepherd and i'd say higby yep so let's get four of these five marquise brown juju james robinson damian pierce and davante smith i would go juju and brown you need four oh i need four i would go juju brown robinson and the pier-Smith one is tougher for me.
Starting point is 00:38:48 I'm going Smith just because of the matchup. You're starting Robinson over Damian Pierce? Yes. Because I really am conflicted on that. I love what I saw from James Robinson last week. I watched the breakdown of his touchdown run. He looked a lot like the same exact player he was when he broke out in fantasy,
Starting point is 00:39:04 which is crazy off the Achilles. Because that's the main reason I faded him was because of the acres, Achilles and everyone else who came back from the Achilles. But he looked, did you see that touchdown run? He looked like the old James Robinson. Unfortunately, it was one of his only good runs. I know. Yeah. It's not a great run. No offense. I don't really love Damian Pierce. I know Jamie says this is breakout game and he's definitely got the opportunity. I mean, the Bears are not good. He got every running back carry last week, but you know who I compare it to?
Starting point is 00:39:30 Josh Jacobs against the Cardinals last week. Yeah, what did he get? 24 of 28 snaps, I think, are targets and carries, right? Whatever it was. I think he had 19 carries or something like that. And the thing is, if you're not involved in the passing game, then you still pretty much have to score. I don't know if Damian Pierce is going to be ripping off big runs.
Starting point is 00:39:53 I got to see that first. So I love the opportunity. I think he'll have at least 15 carries against the Bears, which should be a good thing. You know you're starting to sound like a little bit when you're saying things like not involved in the passing game. Who, you? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:10 What a novel idea. I'm aware of the value of that by the way i know you're aware of it but just remember team team receiver team receptions here yeah uh from sean my wide receivers are too good i have jefferson and i can only start two of the next four drake london christian kirk brandon cooks and michael thomas drake london christian receivers are too good jefferson and i only get two of these kirk for sure let's lock him in man this is a tough call and michael thomas and thomas yeah michael thomas is one for me so you're going kirk over cooks kirk over cooks kirk over london yeah okay basically i would have probably cooks and kirk back to back one two okay no no i would have probably Cooks and Kirk back-to-back. One-two, okay.
Starting point is 00:40:46 No, no, I would have Michael Thomas one and then toss up between Kirk and Cooks. I will say this, though. If Kirk is going to have a slower week, which I'm not actually sure he will within this offense, given how they've used him, it will be against the Chargers. Chargers defense looked legit on Thursday.
Starting point is 00:41:00 This is from Steve in a town north of Seattle, which he says is Anchorage. Oh, is that where they filmed Frasier? Larry, DJ, Kevin, and Robert is the greeting. You got to know that, right? Larry, DJ, Kevin, and Robert. And there's a steal by Bird. Oh, oh.
Starting point is 00:41:25 Yeah, Kevin McHale, Larry Bird. Dennis Johnson and Robert Parrish. I knew, yeah. I think that was a pretty good impression, by the way. This is all before my time. You don't know that famous clip? And there's a steal by Bird.
Starting point is 00:41:42 Just for myself. For the impression. That was just another applause for you for myself. For the impression. Is that it? No, that was just another applause for you. Yeah, yeah, for the impression. Okay, the question is, we need three of the following. DJ Moore,
Starting point is 00:41:56 Kyle Pitts. Somebody's at my house right now and I have no idea who it is. Very, very curious. You know what's so funny, Adam? You finally got your air conditioning fix in your house. It's winter. And now it's cold. Yeah. i think that would have affected the heat too so oh god you might have not hate this yeah dj moore pitts robbie anderson all right pick three dj moore kyle pitts robbie anderson trailing burks khalil herbert remandre stevenson i hate when you do it that fast.
Starting point is 00:42:26 I'm just going to have to look back at the email. We're starting more in pits. Pick one. Robbie Anderson, Traylon Burks, Khalil Herbert, Ramondre Stevenson. Burks for me. Yeah. From Mike, Grade the Trade, 10 Team, PPR, give up Stefan Diggs and Antonio Gibson. Get Jamar Chase and J.K. Dobbins.
Starting point is 00:42:42 Ooh. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know if I'm in on this one. Before the season, I'm certainly in on this one. Now, I'm out because I don't know when teams are going to stop playing too high against the Bengals. But for now, the game plan against the Bengals offense is for the first two weeks has been and will continue to be don't let them beat you over the top and that directly affects Jamar Chase I know we had a really good week one because T Higgins was out and the targets were funneled there but as Adam
Starting point is 00:43:14 said on our last show or one of our last shows when Higgins is in he's a completely different receiver for you and Diggs on the other hand is not someone who's easy to stop as we saw you know Monday night. So I don't think I'm doing this. I also think I'd rather Gibson than Dobbins at this point. Okay, I'd be tempted to do it, because I think in the second half of the year, Dobbins is going to be a lot better than Gibson.
Starting point is 00:43:39 And Diggs and Chase will be pretty close. I love Dobbins as a talent before the injury, but I want him to prove that he can still be there. I need to see it, man. This is from Jack. Dear Vince, Mike, and Matt, I traded DK Metcalf for Brees Hall in a 12-team PPR league. Yeah, look, I don't hate this. I don't love it. I don't hate it. I still believe that Brees Hall can be potentially a league winner
Starting point is 00:44:03 down your stretch or at any point if Michael Carter gets hurt and as for I mean sorry not lamb as for um Metcalf he was just on my avoid list to begin the season he'll continue to be on that list I don't want any piece of that offense they're at this point averaging they're on pace to have the lowest plays offensive plays per game in maybe the history of the NFL. It's like 47 and 46. And they weren't that much better last year. And they weren't that much better last year, and a lot of those are run plays.
Starting point is 00:44:31 So I just don't want that. Who are Vince, Mike, and Matt? Vince McMahon, Mike McMahon, and Matt McMahon? No, I'm kidding. I think this is wrestling. Why? Because I Googled it. Okay. No, I'm kidding. I think this is wrestling. Why? Because I Googled it. Okay.
Starting point is 00:44:47 Actually, I really have no idea. All right, Dan, let's do some YouTube questions. What's up, YouTube? Hit us up. What do you got? Oh, Zach has big breaking news for us. Our producer, Zach Brooke. I don't know if he wants to come in or you want me to read it, Zach?
Starting point is 00:45:01 Want to come on in the show? Let me get you on the stream. Oh, sorry. Go ahead. There he is. Big news. Apparently Taylor Swift is doing the Super Bowl halftime show. I thought that was just a rumor. Now it's locked in? Apparently for variety. Now the question is what two teams
Starting point is 00:45:17 will be competing on the opposite ends of Taylor Swift's performance? Bill's Eagles. My big question is is there anyone in the world right now who cares less about this than me? No, because I actually like Taylor Swift. I mean, I don't really like, I'm not like a Swifty or whatever.
Starting point is 00:45:34 I don't know what they call them. But I appreciate, I like her. She's very talented. This will be a good halftime show. And Chris- She's a nice, talented narcissist. What's that? There's some beef between Dan and Taylorlor swift it's just like i don't i don't like when there's these people who like everyone gets so
Starting point is 00:45:51 obsessed with like what is taylor swift really that great yes and you know what i think if you have a daughter you'd much rather her be worshiping taylor swift than you know yeah some of the other acts out there so i I appreciate Taylor Swift. Yeah, okay. I respect that. Yeah, get the hell out of here, Dan. I just don't care that she's before me
Starting point is 00:46:10 at the halftime show. Give me like Eminem again. What if she's listening right now and she's plugged up? She doesn't care about me. We just lost a viewer. I bet that was Taylor Swift. Zach Brooke, by the way,
Starting point is 00:46:21 is, I think, if there's something going on on social media, the most likely person in our company to know about it. A hundred percent. Yeah, he's... Thank you, Zach. Sure. All right, let's get some YouTube questions here to end the show. I love Taylor Swift.
Starting point is 00:46:36 I'm sorry, Elizabeth. That was unfair of me. I know everyone loves her. I was a contrarian take. Dan doesn't listen to music. He's not a music fan. I listen to a lot of music, but not Taylor Swift. But I will try to be better. I will try to be better moving forward. Would you start Jerry Judy if he plays?
Starting point is 00:46:50 Yes. Yes. All right, let's pick two in half PPR, two wide receivers, and two flex. Okay, so pick four. Chase, Pittman,
Starting point is 00:46:59 it's going to be them, I think. And then two flex, McLaurin, Bateman, Judy, Brown, Garrett Wilson. These are all wide receivers? I guess that's Marquise Brown, and I would go Marquise if that's Marquise Brown.
Starting point is 00:47:13 Well, I'd go Judy, wouldn't you? I'm a Bateman boy, so Bateman. Are you saying, oh, Judy over Brown? I would go Judy over Bateman and Brown, personally. Okay. I'd just go Judy over Brown but I know the matchup at some point I feel like I'm probably downgrading McLaurin a little bit too much
Starting point is 00:47:33 Chase and Pittman are easy he's not bad he's Terry McLaurin I do think he's going to get Darius Slane and this is going to be Darius Slane and this is also going to be the game where this Washington offense comes way back down to earth. Yeah. All right. Hey, Adam, do you like Marcus Mariota over Tom Brady this week?
Starting point is 00:47:50 Ooh, good question. I'm going to say no, but I could totally see it. Yeah. I think Dave Jamie needs to have him ranked ahead of Brady. I don't hate it. Unlike Taylor Swift, he does not hate it. I won't ever phrase it. i don't hate taylor swift i just don't love the hype and i just i just if she's playing at super bowl it's like not great
Starting point is 00:48:11 for me i want to hear like a cool band that i like to listen to all right give me your super bowl headliner like who's playing at the super no nobody likes the music i like like my morning jacket is my favorite oh please super bowl you never even heard of that of course i've heard of my morning jacket chris towers thinks they're better than Aerosmith. They are better than Aerosmith. You probably know three Aerosmith songs. They're a clear-cut better band than Aerosmith. Better
Starting point is 00:48:33 guitar, better drums. Oh my god! Are you crazy? You ever heard of Joe Perry? You don't even know who Joe Perry is. You don't even know what you're saying. This is one of the greatest lead guitarists in American history. No way is the Aerosmith guitar one of the greatest. What songs do you know by
Starting point is 00:48:50 Aerosmith? I don't want to miss a thing. Is it the only Aerosmith song you know? There's a few others, only the ones that are like popular. You're embarrassing yourself. You are embarrassing yourself for saying that the Aerosmith lead guitar is one of the best lead guitars of all time. He is. Have you heard is. He is Wayne Allman for Christ's sake.
Starting point is 00:49:07 They can both, they can both be on that list. You know, he, I'm just embarrassed to believe that you even believe he can hold a candle to Dwayne. Of course he can. He's Joe Perry.
Starting point is 00:49:16 He's incredible. All right. Clyde Edwards. He layers by RB one. Who should I start at RB two cam acres, Ramond Ray Stevenson or JK Dobbins? Um, Oh, Henderson. Sorry. Henderson, Akers. Yeah, probably Henderson. I guess.
Starting point is 00:49:30 Akers took a lot of huge share, but let's be honest. Akers did get a lot of touches last week, but Henderson was a lot more productive with every touch, and he got the red zone score, so Henderson. Who would you rather have going forward, Cooper or Montgomery? Cooper for me. I'm sure you're on Montgomery right because you were just
Starting point is 00:49:46 talking about Cooper yeah I guess I'm on Montgomery can we wait to determine after David Montgomery's game this week yeah that's fair I did a trade Daryl Henderson and Julio Jones for DK Metcalf do you think I won this trade I guess I don't really like anyone in this deal Henderson would be the guy I kind of like the most but I'm off on Metcalf man I don. I don't want to start him. I don't want him in my line, but he's going to blow up weeks, but it's going to, when are they going to happen? I don't know. I think I'd probably do it. Will they even happen to? Yeah. He's going to have some good weeks. 12 team PPR pick a flex Dotson, Mooney, Singletary, or Julio if he plays. Okay. Dotson, Mooney, Singletary, or Julio if he plays? Okay. Dotson, Mooney, Singletary, or Julio if he plays.
Starting point is 00:50:28 Why do I want to say Mooney and just be so contrarian? Because I just feel like there's such a squeaky wheel gets grease potential for Mooney here. I'm going to go Mooney. I don't care. I'm doing it. Unless you hear that Julio is going to be limited, if he does play,
Starting point is 00:50:43 then I'm playing him. Yeah, I just don't think he's playing. Probably not. Yeah. Okay. Choose three. Lamb, Garrett Wilson, Brandon Cooks, Mike Williams, Chris Olave, Jamar Chase, and Amon Rossi. Really?
Starting point is 00:50:57 Wow. So Chase and Amon Raw, you just lock right in. How do you put those two last, by the way? I don't know. And Mike Williams would be my third. Yeah, same. What a core. What a receiver core.
Starting point is 00:51:08 James Robinson or Jeff Wilson? I'm going to take Wilson. Fine. Cast Away, a terrible movie. Terrible movie? That's a good movie. I wouldn't say terrible, but it's not a movie I have any desire to ever see again.
Starting point is 00:51:24 I wouldn't either. It's a novelty movie a movie I have any desire to ever see again. I wouldn't either. It's a novelty movie. You got to see it once and done. Jacoby Myers or Elijah Moore at Flex? Half PPR. I don't know if Myers is going to play. Yeah. I don't know if Myers is going to play, so it has to be Moore.
Starting point is 00:51:37 Last question here. Higgins, Bateman, Garrett Wilson, Jacoby Myers, and Judy. Higgins is the easy one here. Who would be number two? Just start one? Who would be number two for you? Two for me would be Bateman. Two for me would be Judy if he plays.
Starting point is 00:51:53 If not, I guess I'd go... Garrett Wilson. I'm off Bateman this week. Unless we're talking about the replacements. In which case, love Bateman. You've never seen the movie. Oh, you have seen the movie. I've obviously seen the replacements, Adam.
Starting point is 00:52:10 You've seen five movies. I have not seen many movies, just like you haven't seen many of the best dramas of all time. So there's a give and a take here. Okay. Thank you for watching, everybody. Appreciate it. Have an awesome weekend.
