This is Fantasy Football Today from CBS Sports.
What a play!
Can you believe this?
No, I can't.
It's time to dominate your fantasy league.
Off to the races, and he stays on his feet.
He's just going to go the distance.
Now, here's some combination of Adam, Dave, Jamie, and Heath.
It is time to answer your questions at fantasyfootballatcbsi.com,
on Apple Podcasts, on YouTube, and the Fantasy Cops are here.
I can't express to you the amount of Fantasy Cops questions
that we are getting these days.
People have a lot of issues.
And let me just say this.
Stop vetoing trades.
Stop doing – don't veto trades because you think it's a bad trade.
It's got to be so obvious that it's collusion or just completely awful.
If you're going to veto a trade, I can't, some of these trades get vetoed.
I'm like, this person actually lost the trade.
What are you talking about?
Yeah, it's crazy.
I just, you got to have better guidelines for your vetoes, people.
No, no, don't veto a trade unless
there's collusion. That's the guideline. No,
it's not quite that simple. Like, there's
a trade we're gonna talk about. It's Gerald Everett for
Alvin Kamara. I could almost
get on board with a veto for that trade.
There's collusion. That's not collusion. Obviously, there's collusion.
It's just a dumb trade. Or collusion.
Like, if you're paying attention to fantasy
football in the year 2022, and you trade Alvin Kamara for Gerald Everett. It happens. Or collusion. Like, if you're paying attention to fantasy football in the year 2022
and you trade Alvin Kamara for Gerald Everett.
It happens.
Sometimes it happens.
Then you should be banned.
Well, Kamara's coming off two bad games.
All right, anyway, I'm Adam.
That's Dan.
Hey, Jamie.
Hey.
You enjoying the show so far?
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
We got injury updates for you, all your questions.
And I'm in a great mood because I went to the local bagel place
to get some lunch today
and they gave me two free croissants
on the house.
Oh, that's always nice.
You left your house?
I did leave the house.
I thought you were going to say
you were in a great mood
because your lip wasn't bleeding yet.
Okay.
I have chapped lips.
I was doing a live show today, HQ,
and my lips started bleeding.
I had to go off the air for a few minutes to take care of it.
It was embarrassing.
I'm humiliated.
So thanks, Dan.
Thanks for being here.
I might be the first bloodshed in FFT history.
That could be.
All right, let's do our news and notes.
We got a lot of Ravens news here.
Mark Andrews' game time decision.
Gus Edwards questionable with a hamstring injury.
And Lamar Jackson has an illness, but he's going to start.
So let's start with the Mark Andrews likely thing here.
If Andrews is out and likely is in, Jamie likely would be where in your rankings?
He would likely be in the top 10.
Yeah, but we're talking Komet, Dulcich.
Would he be ahead of Rehan? What's the thinking of oh pits ahead of pits behind the uh primus dulcich behind that here okay
got a lot of faith a lot of faith in greg dulcich this week don't we
uh hashtag raiders right you know who i didn't talk about on the on the friday episode i totally
missed it it's my bad elijah mitchell um how does uh dan how do you feel about elijah mitchell this
week against the cardinals you know they're eight point favorites it seems like a good spot based on
that the game script should work in their favor to give him more carries,
especially I feel like he'll be that guy down.
If they're in a game this season from this point on,
the 49ers where they're up by multiple scores, 14, 21,
I just have a bad feeling McCaffrey managers are going to be pissed off about those games because I don't see the reason to play him much
since they're in playoff contention in those types of game scripts.
So this could be that.
So I kind of like Mitchell as a flex,
but I'm sure we could look back on this on Monday
and be like, what are you doing?
He had like 3.6 boards.
He had like 36 yards on eight carries or something.
How about this Ravens backfield, Jamie,
with Gus Edwards?
I was almost under the impression that it was a bad,
you know, because I knew he had been dealing
with an injury, obviously,
but is it something new?
Is it a setback for Gus or just,
or just he has an hamstring injury that we knew about the hamstring injury.
We knew about that's what he missed. Yeah. Yeah. I know. I just, I,
I thought that it may have been a setback. Was that,
did I misinterpret that? I, I, I mean, if, if you're saying that,
that's news to me. Okay. So I haven't seen it yet either. I think what, you know, the expectation was that he was hoping,
the Ravens were hoping he would return after the bye week.
You know, I think, you know, and we've talked about this a little bit,
that they were so cautious with J.K. Dobbins,
and it felt like they rushed Gus Edwards back a little bit
from right off the pop list to having a huge workload
that maybe they're going to learn the lesson
and not necessarily rushing back to the same level.
So it's why I think you've heard multiple comments from our shows this week
that we like Drake better than Edwards,
but I think Edwards can still be a potential flex play this week.
Okay.
I think I misinterpreted the tweet,
which is okay because by the time you're listening to this,
Twitter probably won't exist.
So let's see.
Ezekiel Elliott is expected to play.
We already talked about that.
JD McKissick unlikely to play.
Corey Davis is out.
Juju Smith-Schuster is out.
And David Njoku is questionable.
He said he's playing.
Yeah, he said that last week, kind of.
At the beginning of last week.
I'm really interested to see how this chiefs game unfolds and how the
chiefs offense unfolds without juju smith schuster in there now and obviously mccall hardman placed
on ir earlier the expectation is it's tony time cadary's tony time but he did just join that team
a few weeks ago i'm not so sure we're going to see him 100 soon the mccall hardman role or play
like an incredible amount of snaps i'm almost wondering if this is a really good spot potentially for Marquez
Valdez,
Scout Scantling though.
That's another player that I feel like I could look back on a Monday and be
like,
Oh,
it's MVS.
Why do we get excited about him again?
This is a very interesting comment from a giant sky wrapping on Kedarious
Tony.
Well,
well,
I mean,
that's not crapping on him.
I think you would say that.
Yeah,
no,
I know.
I know.
I feel like you might say that about anyone who joined the team like at that recently i i do think though that
there's first off he kind of played the miko hardman role last week against jack you know
it looked very similar to what hardman had been doing i mean it's it's basically a month that
he's been with the team at this point and so can, can he do enough to be fantasy relevant?
I think the answer is yes.
Look at this comment though.
Now I'm looking at the avatar of the guy making this comment and he could
break me in four pieces.
Look at that muscle.
But what if that's not him though?
It's him.
I know you're not benching Deandre Hopkins for Kedarious Tony.
No,
no,
no,
no,
no,
no,
no,
no,
no,
no,
no,
no,
no,
no,
no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no for Kadarius Tony. No, no, no. That's going a little bit too far.
Would you bench Rondell Moore for Kadarius Tony?
If Marquise Brown plays, yes.
Yeah, I agree.
Justin Watson, by the way, is the guy who really got a boost in playing time.
He had not played more than 26% of the snaps in any game.
Played 73% of the snaps against the Jaguars after the Juju injury, of course.
He only had one target,
so that's why we haven't really talked about him.
But if you're in a super deep league
and everybody is rostered,
you could take a look at Justin Watson.
And you can win a little bit of money.
We got some prizes here.
We got a $1,000 weekly prize in our pick-em.

Why not pick some games, huh?
All right, got our Apple podcast questions.
This one comes from Chef Joel Christie.
Lineup help in full PPR.
Need a wide receiver and a flex from this group.
Deontay Foreman, Cortland Sutton, Kadarius Toney,
and he said Christian Watson,
but let's assume Watson's not part of this discussion.
Give me two out of three.
Foreman, Sutton, Toney.
Toney's the easy one.
Yep.
Sutton's the easy one, too.
Yeah, I think Sutton showed enough last week
that especially given the matchup that Jamie referenced earlier,
you play your players against the Raiders right now
that it makes more sense to play Sutton there instead of Foreman.
Especially if Judy's up.
Yeah.
This is, by the way, that was Joel from a city
between Pompano Beach and Deerfield Beach.
Oh.
Is that Florida? Is that Florida?
Is that Florida?
Yeah.
What is that?
Is that Coral Springs?
Between Pompano and Deerfield, there's not much.
Yeah.
Coconut Creek?
No.
Creek would be north of Deerfield.
Yeah, but where's Pompano?
Pompano is south of Deerfield.
Creek is like west of Deerfield.
Pompano Beach and Deerfield Beach. Man, I of Deerfield. Momino Beach and Deerfield
Beach. Man, I can't.
Yeah, I don't know. What's that?
I don't know. That's like right where
Anthony's is. What's
Anthony's? Sounds like a good place.
The best pizza ever. The best pizza.
The best pizza ever in the state of
Florida. It's a chain. They have one in
New York. It's a chain? It's a
small chain. It's a family owned chain though. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, a chain. They have one in New York. It's a chain? It's a small chain.
It's a family-owned chain, though.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, that chain.
Look, obviously,
New York pizza, Chicago pizza, everybody's going to have their opinion.
It's probably the best pizza place.
Arguably the best pizza place down here.
Oh, down there.
No, there was one in White Plains that I used to go to all the time.
Unfortunately, it closed. It's as good as any New York pizza.
Anthony's Coal Fire Pizza, the freaking best. Where can I get it?
There are some locations in New York.
Is it near Fort Lauderdale?
Yeah.
We have one in our office.
There's a bunch near Fort Lauderdale.
Should have got that.
We should have got that.
Oh, the Meatball Ricotta Pizza.
Unbelievable.
And the Chicken Wings.
They have the best wings.
The Chicken Wings are great.
This is from H...
That would be great, too.
H. Dink.
Oh, it sounds.
I give up Alan Lazard and Jamal Williams for Amonra St. Brown.
Grade the trade.
Love it.
Lazard and Jamal Williams?
Yeah.
No, no.
Yeah, Lazard and Williams for Amonra.
A plus.
Yep.
I'm giving it an A.
From Tyler.
Full PPR 12-team league.
I'm tied with four other 6-4 teams for second place.
I traded CeeDee Lamb for Jamar Chase and Devante Smith.
That's interesting.
So he's 4-4, right?
Oh, sorry, 6-4.
Sorry, 4-4 is not possible.
But there's four other teams for second.
You assume it's 12 teams, so 6 get in. Uh, I think I'm okay with this trade. If you're in
that position with 16, 16 playoff, I think you have enough time to wait for Jamar chase. And
hopefully from this point on Devante Smith doesn't score too many fewer points. And there's a
possibility, right? That Smith we are, we're assuming AJ Brown is the benefactor of the
Goddard injury. I don't think any of us here think it's going to be a tight end on that roster,
but it could be Devante Smith.
It's unknown at this point.
I think the thing you hope for is,
does Smith stay within striking distance of Lamb this week,
and then the reporters chase him back next week.
Yeah.
Oh, Jamie, is it Boca, by the way, in between Pompano and Deerfield Beach?
No, Boca's north of Deerfield.
Oh, yeah.
All right.
So that's our producer.
Didn't you grow up in Florida, Adam?
Our producer, Zach Brooks, submitted that guess.
Didn't you grow up in Florida, Adam?
Yeah, and that's why I said Coconut Creek.
I think it's Coconut Creek.
I mean, it's hard because Creek is west of those cities.
Yeah, it's west.
Yeah.
There's that lighthouse point.
Could be.
Okay.
And here we are talking Florida geography on this Friday Mail.
All right.
This is a trade from Cora. we go back to what we did on Friday
where Dave and Adam talked about their crappy fantasy team
that was for like 30 seconds
everyone wants to hear about fantasy team
12 team PPR league
I'm offering Juju and Pollard
for Lamb
and Mitchell
which side would you rather have
Juju and Pollard for Lamb and Mitchell
I would take the Lamb side you gotta take the Lamb side of course Mitchell, which side would you rather have Juju and Pollard for Lamb and Mitchell?
I would take the Lamb side.
You got to take the Lamb side, of course.
Yes and no.
Well, I mean, there's the Zeke thing.
The only thing I think that sways it is you have the lottery ticket appeal of Mitchell.
Right.
So, you know, Juju, who knows when he's back?
That's the big part of it.
The lottery.
Do you have a lottery ticket appeal of Pollard?
Well, Pollard, I think, is ascended from the lottery ticket to...
He's basically a borderline must-start guy at this point.
So, you know, you're hoping... Like, if Mitchell becomes the guy in San Francisco again,
then you win that trade by a mile.
Yeah, but if Pollard...
It's much more likely that Pollard wins...
It becomes that guy and...
I'm not looking at Pollard as becoming what he has been
because I know what I'm getting with him
already.
You know what I'm saying?
Like I,
I know Pollard is startable with Zeke at this point,
huge upside without Zeke.
This is a trade where it's,
you have the second and third best players.
You're giving them up for the first and fourth best players.
Correct.
So it's fair.
Yep.
All right.
From Johnny T half PPR, super flex, eight-team league.
I currently have Nick Chubb, Josh Jacobs, Fournette, and Gibson.
And A.J. Brown, Waddle, Chase, St. Brown, Lazar, DJ Moore, and Olave.
Okay, so he's obviously better at wide receiver.
Who should I trade to go for the win in my league?
It's an eight-team league.
He's deep at receiver.
He could use another running back.
He's got A.J. Brown, Waddle, Chase,
Amonra St. Brown, Lazar, DJ Moore, and Olave.
In that type of scenario, I think, you know,
because everybody's got a stacked roster,
you probably have to do some sort of two-for-one
or, you know, to get a superstar player, I guess.
You know, the thing I'd be looking at is,
does he have a stud tight end, you know, or a startable tight end?
There's really only one stud, um, a startable tight end.
And what's his quarterback situation?
Because like those positions could sway what your,
what your league looks like with the way how those positions have struggled
this year.
Yeah.
And he has enough depth to really,
if he wants to package two of these players and try to get like,
see if you can get Kelsey in the mix.
Okay.
This is a,
from Grant Witcher.
The subject is Adam and Dan spinoff pod.
This podcast is worth a subscribe to the banter between Adam and Dan on the
Saturday mailbag alone.
No lie.
I would listen to a spinoff pod of them just roasting
each other for bad takes. I included
this because he then says, I for sure
lean towards Adam's takes
on everything except
movies. Which is weird because
Dan doesn't even watch movies. I don't even have movie
takes. I do need to grade the
trade though. This
is a keeper league. I need to know if I got
fleeced or not. It's a lost
season for me, so trying to
improve for next year. I gave up
Joe Mixon, Juju
Smith-Schuster, and a fifth-round pick
for Cordaro Patterson,
Curtis Samuel, and a first-round
pick. None of the traded
players can be kept.
All right.
So, yeah,
he gave up.
Yeah.
He gave a mix in Juju and a fifth for Patterson,
Samuel and a first.
And he says,
Samuel,
I I'm guessing that's Curtis.
If this trade is so bad,
but if it's Debo,
then that's a little bit different.
Yeah.
And the changes,
the whole trade.
Um,
I don't think he got fleeced here.
I think he's just,
it's like you said said he's trading for the
first he's playing for next year yeah yeah i think the only thing would be is like you'd like to maybe
get some sort of keeper in return yeah you know so like something i see i always approach these
situations like whenever you're trying to you know build for next year, like try and get as, as, you know,
you know, clearly each league is different, but like try and get a Jamison Williams,
try to get a Traylon Burks, try to get, you know, even though they may not be superstars,
they give you options because imagine we get to next August and Jamison Williams looks like a star
and the Lions have changed their quarterback situation or, or Traylon Burks, you know,
is finally comfortable at the, as this season comes to a close.
Or look at what Christian Watson has become.
Imagine if you had just sucked to start your season
and you traded for Christian Watson a few weeks ago.
And now you have that.
You know what I mean?
Those are the type of things that help you
going into the next season.
So always try and get something,
some young player that has a chance
to maybe ascend their situation.
But yeah, I think getting a first-round pick is never a bad thing.
Agreed.
And I'll say one day, and it might be Thomas, it might be Zach, I'm not sure who yet.
I'll rely on them at some point.
But one day we will need to audit Adam's process for reading comments on the YouTube page, reading email.
Anytime anyone says something bad about Adam or good about another person, it never seems to get read.
But, oh.
Are you kidding me?
When that guy wrote that Adam bleep you email,
I sent that to everyone I knew.
Behind the scenes.
But I'm talking about on the show.
I told everybody about it on the air.
All we hear is, oh, Adam has the best takes.
Adam has the best hair.
Even the Adam bleep you email wasn't like,
oh, this guy doesn't really like me.
It was like, look how much this guy hates me.
Yeah, it's true.
It's true.
And I do have the best hair.
Well, no, Jamie does.
But in this two-man race, I said, Jamie, I don't know if you agree with this take.
Dan has very high floor, low ceiling hair.
Basically, it's the same hair every day of the week.
It's called consistency.
Yeah, very consistent hair.
But he can't really do much with it.
He can't have these doing weeks.
What are we doing with your hair, Adam?
Look at this.
This is good hair.
I got a haircut yesterday.
You have like the Corey
from Boy Meets World haircut.
That was a great call.
I would say you have better hair.
You really?
Dan is like a Curtis,
has Curtis Samuel hair,
and I have Gabe Davis hair.. And I have Gabe Davis hair.
You do not have Gabe Davis hair.
What an insult to Gabe Davis.
Dan has better hair.
Oh, get the hell out of here.
You would never give me credit.
All right, this is from.
Let's move on.
Some name I can't pronounce. What do you think Prisco would say about both of your hair?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, Prisco's just happy to see any hair.
Dear Lion-O, Panthro...
I won't say the name,
but Prisco once made one of our HQ talents cry because...
Oh, so mean.
Oh, that's so mean.
He said...
Pete is bald.
He said,
you're coming to my club soon.
Get ready.
Pete wants to crap on everyone's hair parade.
Yeah, I understand.
If I was bald, I get that as a bald man.
It's like the Larry David thing.
Or the George Costanza.
You're hoping.
If you're bald, you don't want to see other people
with great heads of hair.
Alright, so the question.
Dear Lionel, Panthro, Tigra, and Snarf.
Those are the Thundercats.
Come on.
Thundercats?
That is way before my time.
Yeah, I know,
but it wasn't before Jamie's.
Non-PPR.
Yes, it was.
Oh, don't look at that little
slight joke on Jamie's age right there.
Jamie's younger than you.
No, I was my,
it was,
I was a Thundercats guy.
Okay.
I thought Jamie would know.
I'm younger than him, though. Thank you. Yeah. Look younger. All right, non-PPR,. Okay. I thought Jamie would know. I'm younger than him, though.
Thank you.
A little younger.
All right.
Now I'm PBR, two flex.
I'm nine and one.
I have Josh Allen and Justin Fields, and I just lost Ertz.
Okay.
Traded Fields, Higgins, and Pollard for Kelsey and ETN.
Oh, hell yeah.
That's an awesome trade.
It's a one quarterback league? Yeah. It's a great trade. That's an awesome trade. It's a one quarterback league.
Yeah. It's a great
trade. This amazing trade. How did
you get Et? I think that would have been an interesting
move. Even if you just got Kelsey
alone, I would be like maybe on paper.
It looks like you're giving a lot, but that's an interesting try to
upgrade there, especially with your
quarterback situation set without fields, but to also
get Etn back is crazy. It's
an amazing trade.
Okay.
From M Hershey.
And listen,
good on the other side too.
Oh, this is from Matt,
Matt from the biggest.
Well,
to get,
to get,
if you don't have a quarterback field is top five upside.
I feel like me and you are at a different point with Pollard,
Jamie.
I know what you're trying.
I think he can be a weekly flex,
but with,
with Zeke sucking up some of the touches
that at least if it goes according to how
it went before the E.T.N.
Yeah, right. But Higgins is no slouch.
I mean, you know, you're getting three starters there.
Do you agree with this?
Higgins, E.T.N.
I'd like to report a murder on Adam's hair.
I don't think I
mean, I think he's talking about my
Corey from Boy Meets World. I hope so, but I don't think the haircut was that bad's talking about my my Cory from for Boy Meets World I hope so
but I don't think the haircut was that bad how would you oh he means from that standpoint yeah
how would you I love how you just got a haircut and it's like all like how is that not how is
it actually was not a very good haircut I had to I had to recut it the last time I had to recut it
so so Dan just to let you know when Adam moved to new york for love he won in the love
department he lost in the weather department he certainly lost in the haircut department because
he had a wonderful wonderful barber yeah jamie jamie's hair hairstylist kelly his hair never
looked better than when i sent him to kelly she was great she's terrific how would you rank the
hair of the of the five of us that are typically on show?
Oh, you're number one.
Dave is number two.
Dave's not number two.
I'm just kidding.
Yeah, you're number one.
Then me.
Then Heath.
Then Dan.
Then Dave.
And then Chris.
And Frank would probably be number two.
But Jamie's definitely number one.
No, Frank refuses to take his hat off.
All right, come on.
I got to read this damn question already.
No more hair.
Yeah, Matt, the season's going to end.
Grade the trade.
I receive Jacobs and Debo Samuel.
I give up Alvin Kamara and Kyle Pitts.
Jacobs and Samuel, Kamara and Pitts.
I think I like the Jacob Samuel side a little bit better,
but Samuel and Pitts to me are in a similar bucket right now. Debo Samuel. Yeah, Debo, and Pitts. I think I like the Jacob Samuel side a little bit better, but Samuel and Pitts to me are in a similar bucket right now.
Debo, Samuel.
Yeah, Debo, Debo.
I feel a little more confident about Debo, but not too much more.
I think you're losing the best player to this problem.
Kamara?
Yeah.
This is from...
I'm going to give it a C.
It's not a greed, so I'd say it's fair.
C is a good greed.
Average, C.
From FantasyPlayer2,
trade away Foreman in full PPR, Deontay Foreman.
Get Kittle.
He's upgrading from Taysom Hill.
I'm fine with that move.
Try to go for it with Kittle.
I just feel like with Kittle, here's what's going to happen.
You're going to put him in your lineup the rest of season now that you traded for him. He's going to have maybe one,
two, hopefully three blow-up weeks. He'll have some frustrating ones like last week,
but what are you missing, right? Whoever you're starting at tight end now is not having the
blow-up weeks, and he's having the frustration weeks. Maybe a little bit more consistency,
probably not much, so I'm good with that. You just roll with Kittle rest of season and hope
the blow-up weeks happen in the playoffs.
This is Kittle's rest of season schedule.
Okay, let's hear it.
Monster week this week against the Cardinals.
Saints next week, so usage and matchup not great.
Dolphins week 13, I think that's good.
Bucs week 14, eh.
Week 15, great, Seattle.
Week 16, shaky, Washington.
17, Raiders, great. So more Week 16, shaky, Washington. 17, Raiders.
Great.
So more favorable than that rest of the week. Good fantasy playoffs matchup, too.
You would like to see the Cardinals one more time before the season ends,
but he gets them week 18.
All right.
Next question is from this one.
I don't think I can read this one.
I'm sorry.
All right.
We've got to take a break.
Sorry about that.
Well, we've got a little longer. Why don't little you do that there's just somebody sitting around listening going i got i finally said all right fine fine fine fine uh from amish dorm keen i probably shouldn't
have said i feel like i just said something that i shouldn't have said uh 10 team super flex league
i traded jay... Around week four,
I traded Jalen Hurts
to a desperate team
for Eckler and Debo.
That left me with Matt Ryan
and Jared Goff.
Then I traded Debo
for Amonra St. Brown.
And then I picked up
Justin Fields.
My running backs are now
Eckler, McCaffrey, and ETN.
My receivers are Diggs,
Amonra St. Brown,
Pittman, Sutton, Ayuk.
Pitts is my tight end, and I am fields and golf at quarterback.
How did I do?
You did amazing.
Yeah, this is a really good example of building an all-star team
that you didn't draft.
You did an excellent job trading for these guys.
Obviously, it was contingent on picking up fields,
like now a QB1 rest of the season.
Right, that's the thing.
You picked up fields.
If you didn't pick up fields, then I'm not sure we'd be praising you.
I think the thing that I'm curious to see,
because we get the end-of-season report about league winners,
who helped the NC Rangers win the most.
I think you'll see a lot of either Mahomes and Allen
by the time things are said and done
because of how they will end up performing,
and a lot of fields and Geno Smith.
Right.
Probably Tua, too, because I think Tua was dropped
during the concussion saga and picked up
probably by different fantasy managers.
So I'll put Tua on that list.
So Tua, Fields, and Geno Smith,
because those guys were free in a lot of leagues.
Who is the next guy that, you know, booms up that list?
At quarterback?
No, at any position.
Is it Christian Watson?
Well, I mean, you can see Rashad White being that guy.
Yes.
Well, not injury.
Who's the guy from this point on?
But injury is usually the reason.
Injury leads to opportunity.
Like, Ken Walker's going to be on that list, I think, end of season.
But that was somebody who... Okay, fine.
Injury, whatever.
Who's the waiver wire pickup?
That's coming? Yeah.
I mean, I guess you could say Traylon Burks
because he's available and just had a big game.
Maybe that's the guy. Or you could say Christian Watson.
It would be Watson.
What are you trying to get? Who's available?
No, I mean the guy that was
just coming on stage right now.
Paris Campbell, Christian Watson.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, I don't think Paris Campbell is going to be that guy.
Watson and Burks are the two.
I talked about Burks on yesterday's FFTN5.
Luckily, before the game, we recorded it.
I said a big breakout was coming.
But as far as not naming guys that were picked up this week,
for me, it would be Jamison Williams.
From the last report I read,
Campbell's hoping to get him back right after around that thanksgiving game so hope but that's optimistic coach speak but
either way if you can they can get him rolling end of season he could be a league winner and and if
that happens jared golf yeah right that's a good point there's no way jared golf is going to be a
league winner no way well i mean to look what you said on two different shows on Friday, on HQ and the podcast about Aaron Rodgers.
Can Jared Goff with Jamison Williams and Amara St. Brown
and Josh Reynolds get to 20 fantasy points consistently?
Yeah, but I don't think I was putting Aaron Rodgers
in the league winner, you know, to Justin Fields.
But again, if you can get a consistent starter
at the quarterback position at this point,
if you can't get a superstar.
Yeah, that's fine.
I think I've got my fingers crossed that Chris Godwin could be in this mix.
They could just have this massive second half.
You know, targets are there.
Possible.
You know, could be.
But now you're going on a different equation, though.
Not really.
I mean, I'm just taking a break.
Okay,
when we come back,
the fantasy cops are arresting Jamie
and settling your
league disputes.
We'll be right back
on Fantasy Football
today.
Oh,
yeah.
Is that too loud?
Not at all.
Not loud enough.
The fantasy cops
are here.
I had So many today
My ears bleed
Maybe that's my lip
I almost just
Four letter word
Bleeding from random
Orphans on his body during the show
Okay
I wasn't talking about
Just waiver wire players
I got backed into that corner
I just meant who's going to have a huge second half And be a league winner Yeah, I wasn't talking about just waiver wire players. I got backed into that corner of talking about just...
I just meant who's going to have a huge second half
and be a league winner.
Well, that's different then.
Agreed.
Maybe.
Poorly phrased question.
It was a spur of the moment question.
All right.
Johan has a question for the fantasy cops.
All right, Johan.
Seven and three.
Two trades.
Pitts for Kittle and Swift.
And Everett for Camara.
Now this actually is
worded so
weirdly
that it actually may have been Swift and Everett
for Camara and just Pitts straight up for Kittle.
That's probably
what it was, right? Swift
and Everett for Camaro.
Still not bad, but not vetoable.
And Pitts for Kittle.
Oh, it is that.
No, that's what it is.
It's Pitts for... You can't veto either of these.
Yeah, both were vetoed by the commissioner.
I left the league.
Am I in the wrong?
No, you're in the right, Johan.
And this is BS.
And I hate commissions who do this.
I hate leagues that do this.
That's what I'm saying
this is just this is why I'm on a no
veto path and that's that's things
like this you can't tell us about your league again
Dan what happened we have
20 minutes
I look I just think there are some
trades that that could be so bad
and there can be trades involving teams that are
you know one in nine
that aren't collusion, but should be vetoed.
But let's see what else we got.
Let's see what else we got.
OK, so wrong.
Fantasy cops for Ashton.
There was an accepted trade that occurred on Thursday before the Thursday night football game started.
One of the players in the trade,
this is last week, by the way.
One of the players in the trade, DJ Moore,
was playing on Thursday,
and the member who had DJ Moore
started him in his lineup after the trade was accepted.
Now, our league goes by veto trade rules,
and every member gets 48 hours to vote on a trade before it's processed.
So basically, somebody traded DJ Moore, but then started him because the trade hadn't been processed yet.
Because there was a player in the trade that was in the starting lineup, after the trade was approved on Saturday, it did not go through.
This meant that I had to watch the other team member play the players that he was trading away in the lineup that week,
get a W with their points in the lineup, and then still have the trade get approved on the following Tuesday.
I asked before Sunday games to cancel the trade because I did not want the trade to go through if it would not go through before Sunday's games.
The commissioner basically told me to kick rocks and that I should have been watching the other team members lineup to make sure he didn't play any players that he was trading away.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
I told the league that I didn't think it was fair. Are you guys
following it or should I summarize?
No, I'm fine.
What are your thoughts on this? Please help so that I can
understand and be knowledgeable in the event this would ever happen again.
Has anybody actually
gone and kicked rocks?
I've never done that.
I'll kick rocks when I'm walking around, but I wouldn't
go kick rocks. I wouldn't go, but if somebody goes kick rocks,
I wouldn't go kick rocks.
This policy is stupid, first off.
If you make a trade, and this is the policy,
you can't tell the person who is holding the players,
you can't use those players.
That's his or her discretion to still use those players.
They can't, oh, I'm just going to bench them.
Right. This guy, Ashton's problem was that
he wasn't getting DJ
Moore for that week.
Because it got vetoed for that week, for
week nine.
Ten. Right, for week ten.
He wasn't even allowed to use the players that he
was trading for on Sunday.
They said, okay, the trade's not going through until
next week, and then you can have
those players. So he said, why am I doing a trade
when I can't have any of the benefits for week 10
and you're telling me that I can't just cancel
it? Instead, it's going through
in week 11. That's like the worst
possible solution.
That's pretty stupid. It should have been
the trade goes through
regardless of when the player plays.
Yes. Also, the commish has
power to edit the lineups and retroactively speaking he can do it as well but trade is
agreed on before the start of the games i think that trade should especially if you're in a league
without vetoes which it should be every league basically unless there's collusion then they
should just push that trade through and the commission at like retroactively edit the trade
to have it how these people agreed to before the game,
they agreed before the Thursday game,
right?
Yeah.
Yes.
And the worst thing to do is to say,
no,
it's vetoed now on Saturday until next to,
until Tuesday after they get,
I mean,
it's the worst solution.
That's terrible.
So your commissioner really screwed you and you're allowed to have the
player.
Yeah.
Why are there so many bad commissioners?
Terrible.
Come on,
snap your game up.
Terrible commissioners.
This one commissioner set the trade deadline for week nine in two leagues.
Are you obviously blaming me?
This is a shot at Jamie?
Yes, Jamie.
Which leagues?
Maybe just one league, actually.
2QB League or Superflex League.
I don't even look at when those deadlines are when you start the season.
You should have told me.
Yeah, I guess.
It's alright. I had enough time to make
trades.
Okay, this is from Scott.
Oh. From Scott
Sterk.
Afternoon,
Fantasy Football. I couldn't think
of better people to bring this situation to.
Hopefully, this is good enough for the fantasy cops.
Last night, our league commissioner and I got into some fine details about our league.
We are a 12 team private league, a core group of friends with a couple friends of friends.
Unfortunately, this year we had to ban a manager mid-season. This comes to my point of awarding
prizes. We have four prizes. First overall, second overall, first in the regular season and the highest single game overall
score the band manager is the current individual high single game scorer if it holds to the end of
the full season the prize will need to be reallocated he also has a chance to make the
playoffs his his roster is like minimally maintained to stay relevant but there's a chance he could win the league or finish second.
So we have two different opinions on the prizes.
The commissioner suggests this.
If the band manager's team wins second,
first place gets all the prize.
If the band manager team wins first,
second place gets all the prize.
So that obviously means
if the band manager's in the finals,
the other team is getting the prize no matter what.
Right.
For the highest single game overall prize,
that is undecided.
Now I, the guy writing this email, Scott,
think that any prizes won by the band manager's team
should be rolled into the following season.
As a sidebar,
the second individual highest single game score
is the opposing manager in the same game
as the band manager.
Does that say, whatever.
So what do you guys think should happen with the prizes?
I like how they are doing it right now.
I don't think you should go roll it over
because then you're making the season pointless for the league just because you had to ban one manager you're kind of letting
them the band manager win for whatever we don't know the behavior of this band manager we're just
assuming that that band manager was in the wrong but why are we rewarding like it just doesn't
make sense you're you're you're making the season moot um if you don't give out prizes no just just
the prizes that would go to him yeah but. But that could be the first prize.
It could be.
It's,
it's unlikely.
What's so funny.
So I was dealing with a, a family issue via text.
So I didn't hear the beginning part of your question.
You kept saying band manager.
I'm trying to figure out like,
Oh,
like a band,
like a band,
the band,
the manager of a band.
I did say band manager way too many times.
Way too many times. did way too many times not answer but then when he finally said that he was banned i was like oh okay
i i think that the the band the band manager
should somebody die like was there a band manager who died? Should not get any prizes, obviously.
No, I would just give it.
Okay, okay.
What's the name of the band?
I would give the single highest game score.
Yes, I would give it to the person who has the second highest score.
Why don't they just put it in the pod and have a party for the next draft?
You could do that.
Well, that's what they're saying.
Yeah.
Put it in the pot.
Oh,
I see.
And make the next draft better.
And I like that idea too.
That's fun.
I don't,
I,
I hate the idea of giving it to the first place team.
If the,
you know,
I hate the idea of if the band,
the,
the guy who got kicked out is,
uh,
in the championship round,
then the,
the other opponent gets all of the money.
I think that's silly. so I wouldn't do that.
I'm really more interested in finding out
why this person was banned.
Me too.
All right, let's last one here.
From a first-time writer, but a tenured listener.
Thank you.
Is it writer or rider?
This trade was proposed and accepted
in my 10-team PPR league.
It is between the 10th place team and the 8th place team.
They're both on the cusp of making the playoffs.
One team, 10th place team gets Kittle, Lamb.
Look at this trade.
This trade is so lopsided.
Okay.
Kittle, Lamb, Chase, and the Bills DST.
The 8th place team gets Ertz, Gibson, Sutton, and the Bills DST. The eighth place team gets Ertz,
Gibson,
Sutton, and the Saints.
It's obvious that the last place team is
throwing... Did I say...
Yeah. The last place team is throwing the season
and some sort of collusion has happened.
I think I said that the last place team...
Yeah, I said gets instead of
gives. Sorry.
The last place team got. Yeah, I said gets instead of Gibbs. Sorry. The last place team is getting Ertz, Gibson, Sutton, and the Saints
and giving up Kittle, Lamb, Chase, and the Bills.
Yeah.
Commissioner's on the fence to veto the trade,
but I am all for the veto.
This feels like I'm going to help my buddy try and make a run.
It is that.
And we know that we don't know that.
Okay.
We're not here.
We're detectives.
We need a bird.
There's a burden of proof.
They traded for somebody who's out for the season.
I mean,
come on.
We know that something fishy is going on here.
The problem for me is like a veto doesn't do it for me.
Like,
yes,
you may have to veto in this spot,
but I'm more important.
I'm more concerned with getting rid of the team that did this.
Why would we risk the repeat of this happening next year? If this person falls, Yes, you may have to veto in this spot, but I'm more concerned with getting rid of the team that did this.
Why would we risk the repeat of this happening next year if this person falls out?
We've got to answer the question here, though.
I guess the thing that you don't know is we play in, obviously, a lot of leagues that most people know what they're doing in our competitive. Some people play in leagues, office leagues, things of that nature.
You ask somebody if they've been in a the league they've never done it before and they don't realize that the players
that you're getting in return are that crappy because they haven't been paying attention you
know so okay there's there's probably a reason that that person was in 10th place despite all
those talented players maybe not setting their lineup the right way maybe not paying attention
so i don't want to necessarily say it's collusion but it feels that way and so before you kick
somebody out of the league dictator dan uh you might want to necessarily say it's collusion, but it feels that way. And so before you kick somebody out of the league,
dictator Dan,
you might want to at least understand
some of the circumstances.
But this trade should probably be vetoed
because I would think that the 10-team league
or 12-team league, whatever the case may be,
the other managers are looking at that and saying,
if this person gets in the playoffs,
because I'm sure there's other good players in that roster,
it just feels like you helped stack somebody's team.
Yeah, I think the more I've thought about it,
I'm leaning against vetoing it
unless you can prove there was some type of collusion
or the 10th place team was just giving up.
Their husband and wife, Adam.
For those of you who don't remember,
it was Earths, Gibson, Sutton, and the Saints DST
for Kittle, Lamb, Chase, and the Bills DST.
I mean, Gibson's been pretty valuable.
Judy's hurt, so Sutton's got some more value.
You can't testify.
I mean, I can.
Kittle hasn't been that good.
Chase is injured, and we don't know how good he's going to be.
Unjustifiable.
All right.
I would not veto it, but it's a really bad trade.
All right.
Let's read our emails at fantasyfootballatcbsi.com.
This is from Anthony.
Okay.
He says, hi, Jalen, Daniel, Taylor, and Dakota.
Oh.
I'm trying to think of a Dakota.
NFC East.
What's Dakota?
Oh, Dak.
It's got to be Dak.
Real name's Dakota.
Yep, yep, yep.
I didn't know that was his real name.
That's the first one you go with?
Daniel Jones. That's the first one? Not with? Daniel Jones, that's the first one?
Not Jalen Hurts?
No.
Desperate at RB2.
Full PPR, RB2.
Pacheco, Warren, or Gus?
I'm on Pacheco of this group.
I probably would go Warren
with the three-catch potential there.
But it wouldn't surprise me if Pacheco's better.
So if you want to just for continuity's sake, we can go Pacheco.
Dan, what do you think about my Colts over Eagles upset pick?
What?
You went from literally, this is a, what a wild turnaround for you.
Four days ago on Monday's podcast,
you literally did a breakdown game by game of schedule.
I can't see a potential loss.
This team's going undefeated.
Now you're predicting they lose two in a row,
including one against...
Well, okay,
what's changed since then?
They put another defensive tackle
on IR and Dallas Goddard's on IR.
They got big defensive tackles, though.
Oh, well, yes,
they got two old guys
who haven't been playing football.
You don't get to excuse yourself
based on two injuries.
Dallas Goddard injury?
That's a big deal.
Adam, you couldn't find a loss,
and now you're predicting two in a row. Okay, I'll let you make that change, but this is a Goddard injury. That's a big deal. Adam, you couldn't find a loss and now you're predicting two in a row.
Okay.
I'll let you make that change,
but this is a terrible pick.
That was a one win.
Jeff Saturday's team is going to get,
now they're going to go right back down to earth.
We're going to be second. You know,
they beat the chiefs at home this year.
I know that was an ugly,
disgusting game by Andy Reed that he,
he still has those games in his bag read.
And that was a classic likeReed type of coaching game.
No, that's not going to happen this week.
The band manager.
What kind of music is it?
It's blues, classic blues.
All right, this is from Jen.
Would you make a mixtape of it?
I would.
Who do you want to stash rest of season?
Pacheco, Jalen Warren, or Kyron Williams?
Warren. It's got to be Pacheco, Jalen Warren, or Kyron Williams? Warren.
It's got to be Pacheco.
I'm on Warren, I think.
See, I think you just go with the best team there because, I mean—
That's fine. That's fair.
But I just don't—
Pacheco doesn't need an injury right now. That's the thing.
Pacheco doesn't need an injury, but I also think that there's at least more of a path for Warren if Najee gets hurt.
I don't know that the Chiefs situation could actually unfold where Pacheco gets into that RB1 role, but maybe.
He might have got it last week.
Yeah, but you still have McKinnon mixing in so much there, even in the red zone.
I don't think any scenario is perfect without an injury, but what if McKinnon got hurt?
Yeah, it's possible.
But I weirdly still think they'd use Clyde Edwards.
I would agree 100%.
But it's such a bad Steelers team still.
It is.
It's still a horrible Steelers team.
So it's hard to get not too excited about either.
I don't understand this poll.
This is the second time I've lost this poll.
It's a who has better hair poll.
Oh, I mean, you lose because it's quite obvious that this is better than that.
It's not like I told you before we started this debate.
I was like, I don't ask for much, right?
You're a better looking guy.
You're a better analyst.
You're a better host.
It's fine.
All that stuff is fine.
You're a better shape.
I finally started working out a little bit, which is good.
Yeah, I know.
When I met Dan, I was a little impressed by the physique.
He's like, he's got some size.
That was before I was working out.
In terms of the hair, his hair looks like he has a purpose.
Exactly.
You look like you just woke up and decided.
Yeah, and it looks this good without any purpose.
It looks this good.
But who doesn't even take a comb to it?
Adam doesn't even take a comb to that thing.
So Adam sits down every show.
See, you get the benefit, Dan.
He's already been on TV.
He's done something to his hair.
No.
This is a something.
I haven't done anything.
But usually in the mornings, he sits down and he does like this for like 30 seconds.
That's true.
And when I sit down to do the show in the morning,
it is basically the first time I've looked at myself.
I guess, you know, I wake up and I pee,
but then I brush my teeth in the kitchen sink.
What?
Yeah, that's great.
You are the strangest human being.
Yeah, I know.
The strangest admission you may have ever made on this show.
Can you explain the process of why you brush your teeth in the sink?
I would love to.
Because I have slept on my couch for four months
because of the craziness that happened in my son's bedroom.
He sleeps in my bed.
And I have been out of my room for four months.
It sucks.
So that is why.
That really sucks.
It sucks.
I sleep on the couch.
I go in the kitchen. Is it a pull-out couch pull out couch at least no no you sleep on just every night you sleep on it and that oh my that's
terrible your back must be on the brink of collapse i hate my management company so much i want everyone
to know i hate them i'm going to destroy them one day all right anyway here's a question from trevor
who do i sit rondell moore courtland sutton gabe, here's a question from Trevor. Who do I sit?
Rondell Moore, Cortland Sutton, Gabe Davis, or Kadarius Toney?
Who do I sit?
Definitely not Toney.
So Rondell Moore, Gabe Davis, or Sutton.
I will sit in that bunch.
I'm going to lean towards sitting Rondell Moore here.
Personally.
Definitely not Toney.
That's interesting.
No, definitely not Toney. I think I would sit Toney.
Eh, maybe I'd sit Sutton.
There's too many injuries. Jamie, what do you think? Who do you sit?
Moore, Rondale, Sutton, Gabe Davis, or Tony?
Sorry, I'm doing a poll here. Do you brush
your teeth in the kitchen sink? Of course.
I don't want to brush my teeth in the kitchen sink.
I hate my life. You don't understand.
I hate it. I also don't know why you
still can't go up to your room and just brush your teeth.
Because the kids are sleeping in there.
Okay. The kids sleep past you oh they they slept till almost 11 today or 10 30 today oh you have older kids i guess no they're two and four they're insane they go to sleep at 11 30 it's
like they're what it's insane i have we have a crazy life um all right who would you sit, Jamie? Rondell Moore, Corlin Sutton, Gabe Davis, and Kadarius Toney.
Have to sit one?
Yep.
I would probably sit Rondell at Marquis Place.
I could brush my teeth in the bathroom, but, you know.
That's what I'm saying.
Yeah, I could do that.
You could still brush your teeth in the downstairs bathroom.
Downstairs bathroom, yeah, but I don't know why.
Because the toothbrush is in the kitchen.
You just like that open sink.
I do like the open space, yeah.
11 votes in.
Do you brush your teeth in the kitchen sink all the time?
9% yes.
Whoa.
45% no.
46% only Adam Azer does it.
All right, this is Joe.
I'm the Kelsey manager.
I have no backup.
Heaven forbid Kelsey gets injured.
Would it be better to take a guy like Conklin, Tunyon, or Hooper,
or just pick up Noah Gray?
Hold on a second.
If you brush your teeth in the kitchen sink, where do you pee?
In the bathroom.
So you do go to a bathroom? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But the toothbrush teeth in the kitchen sink, where do you pee? In the bathroom. So you do go to a bathroom.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But I don't have, but the toothbrush is in the kitchen.
I know, but you could leave it in that bathroom.
No, I wouldn't leave it in the bathroom.
I wouldn't leave it in the bathroom.
Yeah, why would you leave a toothbrush in a bathroom, Jamie?
A toothbrush doesn't belong in a bathroom.
I don't have a medicine cabinet in that bathroom.
And the kids are in that bathroom all throughout the day.
They would knock it over. They would knock it over five times a day.
There's no question.
You could put it in a cup off to the side.
No, it's a very small bathroom.
There's not enough room.
This has been one of our weirdest shows, I'd say.
All right, let's keep going.
That's because you're an alien.
Yeah, I'm a weirdest guy.
Well, you were created in a lab.
I'm a very weird guy.
So am I, Adam.
It's okay.
It's okay to let your weird way fly.
You have a bathroom.
It has a sink.
But you brush your teeth in the kitchen.
Yeah.
How does this man work for CBS?
Who is he talking about?
Me, of course.
Someone in the chat said, how does this man work for CBS? It's he talking about? Me, of course. Someone in the chat said,
how does this man work for CBS?
It's a great question.
Where do I shave?
Every now and then I get a chance.
These are good.
Adam eats cold pizza.
I don't eat cold pizza.
Oh, I eat cold.
I'll eat cold pizza.
Love cold pizza. I don't eat cold pizza. Oh, I eat cold. I'll eat cold pizza. Love cold pizza.
I'll tell you what.
I would eat cold pizza every damn time over microwave pizza.
I will never microwave pizza in my life.
Let me tell you something, Dan.
I'm disgusted by people.
Yeah, microwave pizza is bad.
Let me tell you.
I actually got this tip from a YouTube chat.
Someone told me to put my pizza on a pan, medium heat, for a few minutes.
It is the best.
The best way to reheat pizza is on a pan, especially if you have a cast iron.
All right, we're going to do no BS, just fantasy football.
No, we got a celebrity response to your tweet, to my poll.
Okay.
Jessica Kleinschmidt, who covers baseball, I think, in the Bay Area.
She says, defending you,
I do it sometimes when I'm running around the house in the morning.
It's the closest spot.
Yeah.
A hundred percent.
Yeah.
Okay.
Somebody else replied, only on very rare occasions.
Somebody called you a psycho.
Agreed.
Yeah.
Good news, though.
We're probably about two weeks away from the bedroom being back
and me being able to sleep in my bed wow looking forward to that all right the kelsey manager wants
to know if he should roster conklin tunyon or hooper if kelsey were to get hurt or a backup
tight end on the chiefs i am actually advising for and this is a player i picked up in almost
all my leagues it didn't cost much on the fab yet and. And that's a Trey McBride. I talked about it, I think two shows ago, maybe it was with Chris. I like McBride's profile coming out. And it's weird in a lot of ways. He reminded me of Ertz because what he's best at is finding those soft spots in the zone. He was never an overly athletic player at Colorado state. Didn't run a great 40, but he does a great job of using his body to box out. And so that's basically exactly what Kyler found with Ertz.
So he's the tight at high upside tight end stash.
I'm going to suggest here over all those other names.
I couldn't agree with you more because you're looking for upside.
You could argue Conklin may have similar type of upside because when the Jets have thrown
this year, his numbers have been there.
The thing that concerns me about McBride
is, and this would have concerned me about Ertz,
is with Marquise Brown back,
is there enough targets to go around
for him to still be
viable? But I think, again, if you're looking for
who can be a difference maker
at that position, these are the type of players
that could be difference makers because
of the scenario. And again, I agree with you on the profile.
Dave tried to make the argument after the game.
He ran all these routes and he didn't get targets.
I didn't understand that.
I know. He's the fourth guy in the pecking order.
McBride, how good could he be?
But that's only for now, right?
We don't know if that's going to be the case.
He's going to have more targets than Rondell Moore.
It's a kind of target.
Having more targets than the guys that you mentioned.
Yeah, number one,
but also it's the kind of targets
he can give them.
He can do something
that even more can't do
in my mind in that offense,
just using his body to box out
and find spots in the zone.
Like this is what he
the guy on the top left.
He looks like a rat.
He might be talking about me. No, I'm on the top left. You're on the top left for He looks like a rat. He might be talking about me.
No, I'm on the top left.
You're on the top left for us,
but for them,
is it flipped on YouTube?
No, I mean,
when they're looking at it,
I'm on the top left.
He says the guy on the top left
has awful takes
and he looks like a rat.
Because someone once told me
I look like a rat before.
Maybe it is you then.
All right, I'm fine with that.
But I don't know if they were
referring to my actions.
Whatever it is,
that's just rude.
Yeah, that's pretty messed up, man. There's a lot of messed up comments. Here we go I'm fine with that. But I don't know if they were referring to my actions. Whatever it is, that's just rude. Yeah, that's pretty messed up, man.
There's a lot of messed up comments.
Here we go now. Nothing but fantasy.
For the next two minutes.
If you write back and you curse at him, he'll love it.
Yeah, that's true.
Christian from Middletown.
Who should I start?
Dear Ed, Ed, Eddie, and the Plank.
I don't know. Is that the TV show Ed, Ed, and Eddie?
Probably, right? Who should I start this week? Pick two and half PPR. Montgomery, Gibson, Eddie, and the Plank. I don't know. Is that the TV show Ed, Ed, and Eddie? Probably, right? Who should I start this week?
Pick two and half PPR.
Montgomery, Gibson, Garrett Wilson,
Rondell Moore, Paris Campbell, or Hollywood Brown.
Montgomery, Gibson, Garrett Wilson,
Rondell Moore, Paris Campbell, Hollywood Brown.
Needs two?
Yep.
What's the scoring?
Half PPR.
Montgomery and... two yep what's the what's the scoring for half ppr uh montgomery and gibson garrett wilson ron delmore paris campbell hollywood brown montgomery and gibson i can't even find this question right
now so i'm struggling to you just name them too too fast yeah four times gibson garrett wilson
ron delmore paris campbell hollywood brown montgomery and and it's full point ppr Gibson, Garrett Wilson, Rondo Moore, Paris Campbell, Hollywood Brown, Montgomery.
And in this full point PPR, it's next question.
Next question from Nicholas.
I want to try to turn Justin Fields into a running back.
I was thinking about targeting Joe Mixon as the Mixon manager has Daniel Jones.
Any advice on what I should do offering Justin Fields?
See, this is the perfect way to phrase a question.
Look at the, in this general statement, look at the team that has crappy quarterbacks.
Like, don't just, I want to turn Justin Fields into a running back.
You got to attack your league.
Attack your league by looking at the roster grid, looking at who needs quarterbacks,
then finding their best running back or second best running back so the daniel jones manager the tom brady
manager who's been struggling the kirk cousins manager who may not be sold on on that but has
running back depth like that's the type of thing that you should be looking to make like not just
a blanket statement so yes if daniel jones has joe mixon and other running back depth and you
could turn justin fields and joe mixon perfect yeah and you could throw in a running back there
too and i still think you're getting the better end of that deal.
What's the lowest running back you would accept for Justin Fields?
It's so dependent, though, because if I need somebody
in a desperate situation, I'd be looking at Antonio Gibson
or something like that with something else.
I would say Fournette and Conner is the range for me.
Oh, man, I don't know.
But this is also dependent on who your quarterback.
Like, I'm not going to trade Justin Fields
unless I already have a Jalen Hurts, a Patrick Mahomes,
and one of the top-tier guys.
All right, next question is from Cameron.
I trade away Dalvin Cook, Kelsey, and Pittman.
Okay.
I get Jonathan Taylor, Dalton Schultz, and Mike Williams,
but Jonathan Taylor would be a keeper.
The other ones wouldn't.
So he is probably losing the trade, but he's setting himself up.
He's definitely losing the trade, I think,
but he's saying, I have good point score, but I'm still in last.
So he probably has a still long shot at best to make it,
even with the top point score to whatever it would be.
He would get the tiebreaker if he still has to get into that sixth spot
or whatever it is, four teams.
So I think you're better off doing it the way you did
and going for the keeper.
You're in that mode right now in last place this deep into the season.
All right, good stuff.
This is from
Charlie. Hey, Manny, Diego,
Sid, Crash, and Eddie.
I don't
know. Jamie, you know this one?
Manny, Diego,
Sid, Crash, and Eddie.
It is...
Yeah, that's what I thought too,
but then I googled it. It's a Disney movie.
Or a Pixar or something. I don't know. It's that's what I thought too, but then I googled it. It's a Disney movie. Or a Pixar or something.
I don't know. It's Ice Age.
Never seen it.
The question
is, how do you
rank these guys rest of season?
Non-PPR.
Gus Edwards, Jeff Wilson,
Rashad White, David
Montgomery, Elijah Mitchell.
Non-PPR. I am going to guess. Wilson is one. Yeah, Wilson Montgomery, Elijah Mitchell. Non-PPR.
I am going to get one.
Yeah, Wilson, the definite one.
Over Montgomery? Yes.
Non-PPR? Alright. I love Wilson
the rest of the season. Montgomery, too.
I think with Wilson,
is it possible, at least at this point,
we're seeing the same situation
we saw last year with the Bills for a little while,
with the Bengals for a little while, while with the bangles for a little while.
And with the chiefs for a little while, which is defenses are now playing more of a two
high shell defenses are not only playing two safeties off, but they're playing their corners.
I was watching the tight.
I mean, the dolphins film from last week against the Browns corners are playing so far off
these receivers right now, cause they don't want to get burned deep by Hill and Waddle.
And what is that going to do?
It's going to lead to all these rushing opportunities and light boxes. And so Wilson to me, I know he's somewhat splitting
with most of it at this point, but he's getting most of the snaps. I think he has a chance to be
one of the better running backs, like outside of the top 12, at least like, as we're talking about
that RB two range rest of season based on this. So he would be the clear one for me as well. And
then we go Montgomery. I would put in white based on the upside, Mitchell, and then Edwards.
So if you're talking about league winners the rest of the season,
non-WaiverWire guys, that could be good that you might have added already.
That could be special. Okay, I get where you're going now.
Very good.
All right, this is from Matthew.
I need to bench one of these guys.
Darnell Mooney, Chris Olave, Debo Samuel, Kadarius Toney.
Who do I bench?
Mooney.
I could go either way with Samuel or Mooney.
Debo's going to have 100 yards and two touchdowns.
I'm down on him.
From Vinny, who would you start of the following three?
Gus Edwards, Jarek McKinnon.
Which of these three youths would you start in full PPR?
Youths, I like it.
That was one of the only movies I've seen.
Oh, good.
It's a great one.
Ever.
Gus Edwards, Jarek McKinnon, or Elijah Mitchell?
Full PPR.
So McKinnon.
Which of these three?
Just one. Gus Edwards, Jarek McKinnon, Elijah Mitchell. McKinnon. Which of these three? Just one.
Gus Edwards, Jarek McKinnon, Elijah Mitchell.
McKinnon for me.
Done with Gus Edwards.
Done with that guy.
Give me McKinnon.
YouTube questions here.
Start Jalen Warren or Tristan Ebner?
Warren.
Rashad White or Elijah Mitchell
rest of season?
It's always going to be white
for me yeah in this in this scenario
okay keep coming
with the questions here who would rather
rest of season
can we show the poll results that you referenced
but then didn't show for some reason
Montgomery or Foreman I don't know
yeah he's like
this is horrible I'm having the worst
results I can only understand them but we don't get to see him.
Whenever anyone says a comment about me or a good one about Adam.
They favored you.
I told you the result level.
58% Dan, 42% Adam.
It's stupid.
Makes me never, ever take these polls seriously.
Montgomery or Foreman, rest of season?
Montgomery, for sure.
No. I go Foreman. Full PPR. Montgomery for sure. No?
I go Foreman.
Full PPR, who do I start?
Chris Olave.
By the way, Foreman,
have neither of them had their bye?
They both have week 14 bye.
Yeah.
So does the rest of the league, basically.
All right, full PPR.
Olave, Ronda Moore, Paris Campbell,
or Jacoby Myers?
Who are you starting?
Jacoby.
I'm going to go Olave.
If Marquise Brown doesn't play, I'm going Rondell Moore.
We're split on that one.
If Marquise is playing, I'll go Olave.
Wow.
First of all, I want you to know something.
I did not select that comment. Who did? zach do you know what zach we got a tallis prisco by the way
i interrupt with a football team uh 12 team half ppr one running back one wide receiver one flex
tony pitman slayton, Swift, Gus.
Tony and Pittman are the easy ones for me.
So you got to go, I guess, Gus.
Over Slayton and Swift?
I'm going Slayton.
You can't play Slayton.
You got to play running back.
So I'm going Tony and Pittman.
Sorry, you're right.
You're going Gus over Swift.
I'll go Swift.
I can play whoever the hell I want. The thing about Swift is that
he should be the better of the two.
Giants have allowed the fewest receptions
to running backs.
But the most yards per catch.
Huh?
The most yards per catch.
I don't care if they're only catching.
I just don't understand.
I just don't believe anything
with the Giants defense.
I don't believe a thing that they've done.
Do you believe that the Panthers defense is worse than the Giants defense. I don't believe a thing that they've done. Do you believe that the
Panthers defense is worse than the Giants defense?
No. It's better.
Really?
Well, I mean, the Giants defense
without McKinnon is a big deal.
McKinney. They're run defense though.
Well, no, but this is a swift question.
That's why I think the yards per catch thing...
This is not running routes outside.
But the yards per catch to running back things is relevant
because it doesn't take Swift much to be good, as we've seen.
But that's fine. I'm not going to argue.
I'm not going to make the case for DeAndre Swift.
It's not a fun case to make.
It's a hard case to make, yeah.
Who are you flexing?
Michael Pittman, Kadarius Toney, or George Pickens?
Pittman.
Pittman, Kadarius Toney, or George Pickens? Pittman.
Yeah, Pittman's fine.
I trust the volume there more than the other two.
Play it.
Play what?
What's up at 15?
That's the wrong thing.
That was a Jacob Gibbs sound from two years ago, I think.
I can't play it. I'm sorry.
What are you playing?
Pitman!
Would you trade DK Metcalf for Chris Godwin?
Yes.
Fields, Herbert, or Jackson?
For this week, Fields.
All right, that's it.
For sure.
All right, here's the poll update.
You ready?
Oh, I have a headache. From this's it. For sure. Here's the poll update. You ready?
I have a headache from this crazy show. Go ahead.
You should go get some water from the toilet.
988 votes.
988 votes.
Do you brush your teeth in the kitchen sink all the time?
5% yes.
57% no.
38% only Adam
does it. Yeah, it really is something I expected
only Adam to do
I don't brush all the time at night
I sometimes don't brush in the sink
it's in the mornings
wait wait wait does that mean you don't brush at all
no it means I
sometimes I'm actually able to go upstairs
and brush my teeth in the
bathroom but what I don't understand is
so you have, I guess,
multiple different toothbrushes.
No,
I'm lying.
I said the kids,
it's always in the sink.
It's the kitchen.
Yeah,
it's the kitchen.
I lied.
All right.
Oh,
well,
I'll end it on this note to the hater who sent a comment earlier.
You,
what you're,
what you're seeing here,
you're mistaking a receding hairline for just a massive forehead.
So take that.
So take that.
All right, man.
The band's name is Brushes Teeth in Kitchen Sink.
That's a great comment to end the show.
