I had no idea. 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's mailbag time. Let's do it. It's Fantasy Football Today presented by BetMGM,

the sportsbook born in Vegas. Friday afternoon for us. If you're listening, it's Saturday, maybe even Sunday. You daredevils probably not listening on Monday. That wouldn't make any sense. But we have a special guest today. It's Dave Richard joining us on the mailbag. Hello, Dave Richard.

Sorry, it's not Jamie, everybody. I'll do my best. We like to change it up. And Dan Schneier's here. What's up, Dan? I'm excited because I never get to pod with Dave, basically ever, except for offseason. So I'm excited for that.

I will say this. I was told in as many comments last week that Adam needed to rein me in. I went back, did some quality control, and I was a little off the rails in last week's mailbag. So things will change for this mailbag and the reign of terror, as I want to call it, Dan Schneier's reign of terror, last Friday will come to an end. Okay.

That's it. What am I walking into oh this is the mail that is sire's reign of terror that's what it was described by as one commenter so you know i made the mistake of reading the youtube comments that oh never you read the youtube comments i mean i have to read them but you should never no one should ever i already feel bad about myself enough when i wake up every morning i don't need extra yeah no them. I already feel bad about myself enough when I wake up every morning. I don't need extra. Yeah, and he should feel bad about himself. But so, yeah, he doesn't need any more. All right, let's do some news and notes real quick.

Our email address is fantasyfootballatcbsi.com. That is the letter I, fantasyfootballatcbsi.com. You can also leave us a comment on Apple Podcasts, a five-star comment. And with a question there, tell people why you like the show and ask a question. We will read your fantasy cops dilemmas, and we'll read your YouTube comments. That's the last thing we'll get to. So, Dave, tight end news. Trey McBride is out.

Sam Laporta did practice on Friday. David Njoku and both of the starting offensive tackles for the Browns are out. George Kittle has a chance to play, let's say. I think he has a good chance to play. So what do you think about the Porta situation, though, as they have that Monday game? I think it's a big positive, the fact that he practiced. If he can get in another practice on Saturday, I would expect him to play. Now there's that next hurdle. That's kind of a big deal about him actually scoring double digit fantasy points might be nice. But I I'm, I'm kind of, I'm kind of hopeful that he can do it, but I'm,

I'm certainly not viewing him the same way I viewed him a month ago. Okay. And Nico Collins. So tank Dell is out. Nico Collins is questionable. We'll keep an eye on it. We still have him ranked. I don't think we're expecting him to miss, but keep an eye on Nico Collins. So Tank Dell is out. Nico Collins is questionable. We'll keep an eye on it. We still have him ranked. I don't think we're expecting him to miss,

but keep an eye on Nico Collins. Joe Mixon, though. It looked like another Cam Akers day, Dan Schneier. Would you start Cam Akers against the Jaguars? There's some speculation Pierce will be making his return, and he could take some snaps away, but I would start Cam Akers. Cam Akers came close last week to returning a better week

than we were hoping for. I just think the volume is there, and like you said, like we mentioned earlier, with Tank Dell out, there could be more of a reliance on him, both in the run and pass game. Better matchup, too, home against Jacksonville versus at Minnesota, where the game got away from the Texans. All right, we got Ken Walker, a possibility to play.

This is going to really drive people crazy what to do with Ken Walker, Zach Charbonnet. I don't really think I have any advice for you right now, but if, you know, Dave, who would be ranked higher for you? Ken Walker if he plays or Zach Charbonnet if Ken Walker doesn't play? I think it would be Charbonnet without Walker because we've seen it now for two weeks

what he's capable of doing. We know what the workload is like. I know the matchup isn't as good. I'm not ranking him as high as where I had him ranked last week, but I would still view him as a number two fantasy running back with the idea being that, A, he's not going to share, and B, he's going to catch passes. And if Ken Walker's back, then I don't know what the carries will look like between the two of them. I can't say for sure that Charbonnet will even catch three balls. There's a lot of uncertainty there with a tough matchup on top of it. I'd almost try and stay away from all Seattle running backs if I could help it, assuming that Walker were healthy and active for the game.

Well, I wish Heath were here because Dave has Charbonnet 19th right now. We don't have Walker ranked. Dave has Charbonnet 19th. Jamie has him 16th. Heath has Charbonnet 5th. Wow. But Heath's not here. All right.

That's going to do it. Can I text him? Nah, that's all right. We can do it for the news. Oh, Deontay Johnson. He's questionable,

but trending in the right direction. Now, this is a good time to get your phone out, download that bet MGM app and use the bonus code fantasy.

Wisconsin first. So I like that one. We'll go with that.ville i heard madison wisconsin first so i like that one we'll go with that technically it's north okay i'm a friend on my gimmick bro yeah you know we'll give him madison he's got a wisconsin shirt on today we'll give him uh this is uh it says dear katie c-a-d-y regina gretchen and Karen. Those mean girls? Those are mean girls. I play in a 12-team PPR Superflex League, and I wanted your opinion. I've been hot on these guesses,

but that one feels like, why should I know that? I agree. I am absolutely stunned. It's the name Regina. That Regina thing is just so iconic. I think everybody knows that name for that movie. If I didn't see Regina,

I would have no shot. I think Gretchen is the more... Oh. Because none for Gretchen... What's her last name? Wieners? Whitmers? I don't know. None for Gretchen something. I think Gretchen Wieners is from Backyard Baseball. Chat, help me out. Gretchen who? So

anyway, the question is, I'm in a 12-team super flex league, and I wanted your opinion on a trade I just accepted. Sure. I gave Dobbins and Higgins for Harrison. He still has Jameer Gibbs, James Cook, Jerome Ford, Chase Brown. So he gave Dobbins and Higgins for Marvin Harrison Jr. I mean, you know me.

These are the type of trades I love. I like getting the best player out of a deal. I like the upgrade for Harrison. Everything has looked so good there. And there's even been four or five plays on tape where the timing has been the only reason why Harrison doesn't have an extra two touchdowns this year or another 30-yard gain. The timing is going to get better between Kyler and Harrison as they get more reps together. I think by the end of the season, he'll be a bona fide top five, top six play on a weekly basis.

Dobbins has been great, but you have some depth at running back and Dobbins injury history is still troubling as well as T Higgins is injury history. So on the trade chart, it's, it's the better side is the two, the two player side, but I, I wouldn't be mad at you for this trade. I think it's relatively close. All right. So that is Marvin Harrison jr. I did race. Why do people ask us for opinions on trades after they want a little validation?

No validation. I don't mind that. I like the validation side of it. Like once you hear that, you're like, okay, I feel good about that. Okay.

Next email is from Billy. 10 team half PPR league. I need to start one running back. I need to cut one running back. I need to cut one running back. Start and cut. Cam Akers, Bucky Irving, Javante Williams,

Roshan Johnson, Emmanuel Williams. Emmanuel Williams isn't a person. Emmanuel Wilson. That person plays football. Hmm. I'm debating who to start here. I'm leaning toward cam acres,

obviously if mixing sits, which we expect, but a part of me wants to just say, let's roll the dice. Bucky Irving. He's the most efficient of any of these backs on a per touch basis by a wide margin. I can't see his role decreasing.

I can't see his role increasing. So you know what? I will go with Bucky Irving. I'll take the swing and I'll cut Emmanuel Wilson. I think Emmanuel Wilson makes sense as the cut. If this were non PPR, you can make the case for Javante Williams is the cut, but let's not do that.

Let's cut Emmanuel Wilson. One tier will be shed because I do think he is a good stash. Acres of mixing is out. You're rolling the dice either way between Bucky Irving or Roshan Johnson, but I kind of like where your head's at, Dan. So Irving, assuming he's active, let's take that chance. I think he's got a little more upside than Roshan. I just think Liam Cohen has designed so much better of a run scheme from what I've seen so far than Shane Waldron, who I do think has one of the worst run schemes in the NFL behind Zach Taylor.

Can I tell you something that I heard about this week? One of, one of our buddies in new Orleans pointed out that there seems to be some sort of history between Vic Fangio and Kyle Shanahan schemed offenses and that the, the, all, all the, you know, McVay and Shanahan, like all those guys, they say that the one defensive coordinator that gives them the most trouble is Fangio. And this is one of those games because Liam Cohen is a disciple from Sean McVay. It does make me a little bit nervous, but I looked into it and there really haven't been examples. Fangio hasn't gone up against any of these coaches 2020 or more recently. So it's a weird thing that I heard and I went and looked into it. I don't know if I'm ready to say, oh yeah, you got to get away from bucks players for it. In fact,

I'm not saying that. I think you've got to start those wide receivers and I think Baker Mayfield's okay. And I think if, if, if they're being honest about using Bucky more and why, why shouldn't they, he looks so much better than Rashad white, then he's, he's worth a dice roll here. If Mixon is active, I don't want to overrate one example, but Clint Kubiak is from that same coaching tree and has very similar principles. And I thought Fangio did an excellent job shutting down the Saints last week.

The first one to shut down the Saints this season. And it helped that the offensive line wasn't in good shape. Yes. Like Jalen Carter became the beast that I thought he would be. Oh, yeah. That game. Just all that agap pressure. All right, let's go, guy. That game. Just all that A-gap pressure, Dan. All right, let's go, guy.

We got a lot of emails to get to. Dave, do you have anything? That was good analysis and it was worth saying. Everything said there was not a lot of wasted time. Good analysis worth saying. Now, this was the issue. This last 15 seconds, that was spawned by you saying, I have a hard out.

I have a hard out today. No, I will not accept that. Look, there's times I need to be reined in. That was not a time. I didn't say that. I was just trying to rein in. You were't say that. I just went back and forth with great scheme talk and great examples and great points. Would you believe that Vic Fangio's middle name is Mick? Dave, do you have your phone on you? I do. Can you please check your text message? Thank you. All right, let's move forward. Next up, Jeff in Michigan. You sent me a text message

telling me to check a private chat. Yeah, please private chat you know what i'm just gonna just make an ad of the one guy just make your volume ladder okay i just want how rude of you you're like this this was like the meanest scavenger hunt ever i didn't curse you look at the chat double middle finger thanks a lot false i'm doing you a favor by coming on the mailbag. Here, I'm going to do it to you. Dave does this a huge solid, does a huge favor, and what does Adam do? He throws him right under the bus.

All right, all right, all right. You know what? I'm going to have to mute both of you. All right, grade this trade from Jeff in Michigan. He's 3-0. He gives up. This trade is so bad. I'm sorry.

He gives up Saquon Barkley and Jonathan Brooks. He gets McCaffrey, Mason, and Nick Chubb. You think this trade is so bad you can't handle it? I don't like this trade. Let me be clear. But I don't think this trade

is so bad I can't handle it. I'll put Chubb and Brooks as a wash there, right? No. No, no. Brooks could be back next week. Chubb could be back late next month. Chuba Hubbard looks pretty damn good, and I don't

think they're just taking him off the field. I do not think that's a wash. Brooks' stuff has been very overstated. We'll see what ends up happening there, but I think that's fine saying a wash. Then it's just the Niners running game for Saquon. I'll still take Saquon at this point, but I don't think it's the craziest thing in the world. I don't like the trade.

I'm giving it a D. If you're giving Saquon, I think it's I don't think it's the craziest thing in the world. I don't like to trade. I'm giving it. If you're giving Saquon, I think it's a mistake. Sure. See Michael, Michael love the show. I'm a daily listener. FYI. I had a pastrami sandwich this week and I left the stick in.

Thank God. He, the man who knows man of my heart. Okay. Here's my question. Is there any reason to continue to hold on to chase Brown? He's look good. Unlimited touches. That there any reason to continue to hold on to Chase Brown? He's looked good. Unlimited touches, that's one reason, but

the problem is, how do those translate to fantasy points? So, if you're in a shallow league, I'm okay cutting him. Agreed. The reason is, if there's an injury to Zach Moss, bam, you've got something good on your hands. Looks like Keenan Allen

is trending in the right direction. According to this report that I'm seeing now from Chris, Emma positive step towards a return. I know Chris, that's good. We got to take a break and yeah, we'll be right back with your emails. Nothing fancy about it.

Do you like Deshaun Watson at Washington? Trevor Lawrence against the Colts? Or do I trade for Dak Prescott, who's at Pittsburgh? Sorry, Dave, you need to answer this. Dave just sent me something funny via text and I have to recollect myself. Yeah. Can you, all right. So it's Watson at Washington Lawrence versus Indy or trade for Dak.

Yeah. It depends on what you're giving up for Dak. Let's say that it's going to cost you too much in trade, especially after he had a decent game. I think I would, I would take Trevor Lawrence. We know no matter what happens this week, Jacksonville feels like their back is against the wall.

They've got to do something. They've got a great matchup against Indianapolis. I would say at home, they should be able to handle the Colts should emphasize on that, put it in italics, but that's who I'd lean toward. I don't know though, man. Watson at Washington's pretty good too. It's funny.

Cause those are the two most defined defenses in the NFL, Jacksonville and Indianapolis. Jacksonville plays an absurd amount of man coverage, despite not having the personnel. It's about Lawrence taking on the Colts stand. Right? No, no. I'm saying, and's about Lawrence taking on the Colts, Dan. Right, no, no, I'm saying, and then the other side is the Colts who play full cover three the entire time. So it's like, can he just eat up those zones? So I think the passing games

could both get going in this game. I think this game is going to be better for the passing totals than it is projected for in Vegas. I'm high on this game for those reasons. All right, guys, so I put a lot of emails and questions in the notes today. So let's

go rapid fire here just for a little bit and try to make up for lost time. Doug from Syracuse, subject line, Adam is handsome. Hello, Michael, Theodore, Fernando, and Lincoln. Start three. Guys aren't as handsome as Adam. That's true. Yeah. Start three of these of this group. Pickens, Jamo, Waddle, Shakir, Odunze, Akers. Pickens, Shakir, Odunze for me. Pickens will be in there for me. I don't know if I can get away from Jamison Williams because he's got the most upside. And if Keenan Allen plays, I'm not going to be as hot for Odunze as I was. So Shakir would probably be...

I'd probably play Shakir as the safe guy and Jamison as the upside guy and Pickens as the stud. P.S. Dan is definitely the funniest on the show. Sorry, dot, dot, dot. After Adam, Dave, Jamie, Heath, Jacob, and Thomas. JK, love you, Dan. All right, Steve from Madison, dot. After Adam, Dave, Jamie, Heath, Jacob, and Thomas. JK, love you, Dan. All right, Steve from Madison, Wisconsin.

How about that? Yeah. Dear West, Siesta, Largo, and Marathon. Those are keys. Those are keys. My biggest draft regret is not grabbing Brandon Aubrey in the second or third to the last round. Do you see rock star kickers becoming a draft trend

if offenses continue to regress? I mean, he did miss a 43-yarder at the end of that game or whatever that was, but I'm just kidding. He's unbelievable, Aubrey. No, I don't foresee that, but I would defer this question to Dave because the majority of my leagues have removed kickers at this point.

And you think I'm in a bunch of leagues with kickers? No, good point. I do think we should open our minds to drafting stud kickers a little bit earlier a little bit right there and aubrey certainly qualifies usually those kickers that we view as you know studly and you're going to draft them and you're never going to replace them they're kickers who've been doing it for multiple years uh in high scoring offenses with coaches that don't go for it on fourth and short when they're around midfield very often. That way it opens up opportunities for these kickers to go out and bang in some field goals. So Aubrey was up there this year. Tucker was up

there. I can't remember some of the other kicker. Bucker was probably up there. I think the better answer here is to think about this year, not next year. And if you can find a kicker and an offense that you're comfortable with, Narveson from Green Bay comes to mind. And I don't know what any of the roster ship is with any of these guys, but if he's out there in your waiver wire, Jordan Love's coming back. That offense has a ton of potential.

He's a no-name kicker for now, but he could become one that you'll be very comfortable starting from week to week. Bob in New Orleans. He's 3-0, half PPR. He's been offered a trade. Give up Cooper Cup, George Pickens, and Zach Charbonnet. Get A.J. Brown, Quinton Johnston, and Jaleel McLaughlin. No.

Typically, I'd want the best player in the deal, but this is a little too much. I'm on a no for this. All right, it's a no. Next up, Jake in Kansas City. Ken Walker has been out for a few weeks. His managers are getting frustrated. Charbonnet is playing well.

Do we need to zoom out on Walker and tell managers that are looking good to make the playoffs to get him for cheap um what kind like basically what's your rest of season outlook for ken walker i'm on the other practice is is good news for him and that kind of closes the buy low window on him but i i think fantasy managers were just at least okay with the fact that he wasn't on ir and that the oblique injury was just something that sidelined him. Fingers crossed two weeks, only two weeks. Please, fantasy gods, just two weeks.

I've got Walker on some of my teams as well. But if he's back and even if there's a week coming up against Detroit where he doesn't do well, I think we're still going to give him credit for being one of the best running backs in fantasy. So if you're trying to trade for him now, it's got to be done with the same type of value as what you might give up for a mix in maybe a little more than what you give up for Montgomery. Although that's close, but still like one of the primo backs in fantasy. I'm on the total other side of this. I think Jarvan has proved that he deserves to be on the, and I never saw as big of a talent gap between them. Yes, Walker has more flash, more athleticism. Charbonnet's really good between the tackles. He understands how to set up blocks, and he understands how to maximize yardage.

So to me, this little spell just proved to them they can't go to a full workhorse role like we were projecting for Walker. So if he's not in that role, it takes away a lot of his upside to me. So it's just not a buy low for me. Has Charbonnet done enough to make it that way? I think so, but I could be wrong for sure. All right, here's Kevin in St. Louis. Would you trade Tyreek Hill for Kyron Williams and Trey McBride?

Yes, in a heartbeat. By the way, I think perhaps when we talk about trades, we talk about players. I think the most overrated player right now in fantasy, based on what he's done, is Trey McBride. This guy has done bupkis except for fall on a touchdown in the end zone. I didn't even realize that he got hurt on the last drive of last week's game. He had a terrible game. Like, this guy's not doing anything.

And we're like, oh, he's definitely tight end one. I't know definitely tight end one who's saying that me and like he's he is tight end one on the trade chart this week yeah yeah and i get it i like him but he i get it because the volume is there versus all these other guys the first week it was there's not that much volume no i know there's not very much volume at the tight end position at all yeah but as far as this trade goes this is a great trade because I've had a lot of people talk with me in the DMS and just on the comments for beyond the box where like, what do I do with Tyree kill and waddle? And as somebody who rostered waddle way too much, I'm way overweight on waddle. I was big on him this year. I can't find any market for him, but he'll still get some

market. This is clear. You're getting Kyron Williams and even Kyron straight up. I would trade hill for right now. If you could promise me to his back by week seven, I don't do that deal, but I don't have that promise. And I don't know if once to, it comes back, if he can stay on the field, one more concussion, that's definitely it for the season at that point. Right. And like Hill with Huntley is not exciting to me at all. I don't think Huntley is going to move the ball that much better for Hill, at least than, than Skylar did. All right. I'll to me at all. I don't think Huntley is going to move the ball that much better for Hill, at least than,

than Skylar did. All right. I'll, I'll disagree. I think Huntley can be a little bit better than Skylar and I've got Hill currently as a top 10 tight end on her wide receiver, rather on the trade chart. But you're right about waddle,

man, his, his values in the tank, Adam and I just got done with, uh, with the CBS sports network show. It's every Friday, 1 PM Eastern on CBS sports network. Check your local listings.

And Waddle was, we do these like, who, who would you start from these three receivers? So we had Waddle in there with, um, Adam, maybe you remember the other two guys. I think it was there. It was John Jennings, George Pickens, Jalen Waddle. Waddle. And then we post the poll so people can vote for who they'd start. Six percent of the of the audience voted for Waddle. Wow. About a thousand votes. And I don't know if they're wrong. Like, I have no confidence in starting Waddle. He's on all of my benches, too. All right. This is from Ryan in Calgary. And he says, first of all, when Dan said he hadn't heard of STP, I almost drove off the road.

I audibly said, what? And I was alone in the car. STP meaning? Yeah. The product or the band? The band. He had never heard of Stimple. To be fair, to be fair, once I heard their songs,

I had heard all their songs to the point where I had all the lyrics for the first three songs I tried. I knew all the lyrics. Just, you know, I don't know what it is. I never heard the name Stone Temple Pilots. I don't think ever. I've heard the songs plenty of times in bars or whatever it may be. Just TV shows. I don't know.

Movies. But never heard the name of the band. Do you know the product, STP? No. No, me either. Got to get to work on your cars guys oh my god i am to no one's surprise i am the furthest thing from a car guy and yet i still feel like i'm further along in that regard than adam a hundred percent i have changed my tire multiple times never done that could never

use youtube watched one youtube video figured out how to do it and change my tire successfully was so impressed with myself after doing that i couldn't believe like I've done a lot of things in life that are way more meaningful, impactful and important, but I've never been as impressed with myself as when I did that. Cause I was like, I am definitely going to screw this up. And I did it. That's impressive. I would, yeah, the car would fall on me. YouTube helps. Uh, yeah. So what was I, Oh, just question for you. Cause I made you an STP playlist. Do you think you will listen to it in the future? No.

That's a shame. You absolutely should. I put three of those songs I clicked like on on Spotify. So I have a 1,500, 2,000 song like playlist that I just rolled through on Spotify. So it'll come up at times. Good for you. Do you remember which ones?

Definitely Vaseline. That's my favorite. And then it's like two popular ones, like the first two on the playlist. Interstate Love Song. Yes, Interstate Love Song. Flush. Yes.

Flush? Did you just say Flush? Flush that dick down the throat. All right, here's the question. Rank them rest of season in a half PPR league. Deontay Johnson, Michael Pittman, T. Higgins, and DJ Moore. Johnson, Moore. Johnson won because of Andy Dalton one game?

Yeah. Well, listen, I think Johnson and Moore are the easy ones. I think Higgins is next. I mean, Pittman is definitely last. That's the easiest one for me. There you go. But I would go Moore, Higgins is next. I mean, Pittman is definitely last. That's the easiest one for me. There you go. But I would go Moore, Higgins, Johnson. I would go

any of these guys. Johnson, Higgins, Moore, Pittman. I had zero shares of Pittman this year, so obviously I'm not changing my opinion. Look at you changing tires and not drafting Michael Pittman. Oh, I've had mistakes. I drafted a lot of Cooper Cupp, too. And Jalen Waddell.

I don't know if this is an insult or not, but Eric in our chat says, Dan Schneier is the type of guy to cut his sandwiches horizontally. Just a bad tape by Eric Barty. I clearly do the diagonal cut. It's just a horrible tape. I do the horizontal. I do the horizontal.

My wife does the diagonal. She's- The diagonal cut. Everybody knows the diagonal cut. I don't know why Eric thinks I wouldn't. I don't even cut the sandwich. Oh, that's weird. Oh, interesting.

You don't cut the sandwich. Of course I am. What do you expect? I got time to cut the sandwich? Get it in my belly. Look at this from Mr. Grapefruit. Dan Schneier looks at a fresh burrito and goes for the middle bite first. I don't even know what that means.

Like bite down the middle horizontally? Yeah, like right in the middle of the burrito. That's going to be the weirdest thing. Who's ever done that? And then the whole thing falls apart? Terrible. Who would do that? Who would do that?

That's terrible. All right. Let's do it. Fantasy Cops. Send us an email. FantasyFootball.CBS.com. Put Fantasy Cops in the subject line. Dylan in America's oldest seaport.

No idea. In an attempt to make 60-plus yard field goals worth six points and not five, our commissioner had the setting at 60-plus equals one point. He thought it would score five for the 50 and one for the 60. He was wrong. As Brandon Aubrey 50 and one for the 60. He was wrong as Brandon Aubrey, who was on the commissioner's team,

hit a 60-yard field goal and his team was only awarded one point. He immediately changed the setting without saying anything to the league, resulting in a five-point swing

in his matchup. Come to find out, his team won by 4.4 points. What do the fantasy cops think? Should the commissioner honor his mistake of the 1.60 yard field goal and take the loss and then change the rule? Or was the commissioner right for changing the rule in the middle of the game? Let me make something very clear from the start.

I was offended when a few times ago we said, who would be the bad cop? Who would be the good cop out of me and Azar? And the people are scrambling. They don't know what the answer is it's me as the bad cop and i'm going to come down really hard here i think this commissioner is a really shady commissioner let me tell you a few reasons why just from reading this he in attempt to listen how this reads from dylan in an attempt to make 60 yard field goals were six points and not five so he literally tried to change the setting because he had Aubrey on his team. That's already insanely shady to begin with, like to change a setting because,

oh, I have Aubrey, I'll find a little cheat code here. Then he does it, screws it up himself, puts it as one because he didn't realize what he was doing, doesn't say anything about any of this, changes it. And by the way, the funniest thing is if you're on some of these sites, it shows you when a commissioner makes a change to the rules. So it comes right on the league page. So you could literally see what he's doing. He's not hiding. Anything changes it.

And he wins his matchup because of this. This is disgusting. This is repulsive to me. I wouldn't play in a league with this commissioner. I think he deserves to be kicked out of the role. You can keep him in the league as long as you take away all of his powers and never let him rule again. Heath Jr. Over here.

Here's a question. Bad cop. Did the, did the commissioner tell the league before the season? Hey, here's a change I want to make. We already allow five points for a 50 plus yard field goal. We want to let's make it six points for a 60 plus yard field goal. Did the whole league know it was the intention laid out before even the draft. It doesn't sound like it, right?

Based on that. I don't get that impression, but it still could have happened. And if it did happen and the league was put on notice that the commissioner was going to do this, then the commissioner should be given credit for making an honest mistake when he set the scoring system. Because it makes no sense to award one point for a 60 plus yard field goal. So I, as long as the commissioner made it clear before the season, Hey, here's a scoring change coming up. Everybody should know about it.

I'll make sure that I, I said it the right way. Yeah. And then he doesn't set for the draft before the draft and they all discussed it and voted on it. If you change this, if you, first of all,

if you don't tell the league about a rule change, right. That's groundwork. I think he literally didn't. And then when it's a draft, like, ooh, I'm going to get Aubrey. And then they're not going to know, but I'm going to get six points. That's absolutely shady stuff. And also, if it's after the draft and he gets Aubrey and then he changes the rule, very, very double shady.

So I think it comes down to what did the league know before the draft as far as scoring goes? Yeah. And Brandon Aubrey is the only guy before the draft as far as scoring goes? Yeah. And Brandon Aubrey is the only guy who's made a 60 plus yard field goal. He's made two of them this year. There have only been four attempted. He's two for two from that distance. All right. Fantasy Cops, that's one case down.

Next case is from T in Toronto. I'm in a league with a serial trader. At his peak, he was sending me five offers daily, and I imagine the same to everyone else. One year, he made something like 11 trades for 28 players in the week leading up to the trade deadline. Whether it's his strategy or just how he is, he seems to start with insane proposals

and just grind away at you in hopes he'll finally accept something. He'll also send texts with long explanations why his four bench players are actually more valuable than your first round stud. Of course, not mentioning that there are comparable players on the waiver wire or that these players won't fit on your bench. Anyway, there's one weaker player

that every year seems to start 0-2 or 1-3 and then make one of these awful trades with him. About three years ago, they did a particularly egregious one. The group chat got pretty heated, basically accusing the guy of bullying or pestering people into trading with him. I said I didn't think the trade should be vetoed, but moving forward, I wouldn't be joining a league that has managers that make trades like this. The serial trader said, whatever, screw all you guys. If you all hate it, I won't trade ever again and still beat

you all. He was true to his word for the first year, but being the addict that he is, he is slowly starting making a few trades here and there. And now this year he's made several trades, including most recently with the weak player sending Ladd McConkie and Will Levis for Aaron Rodgers in a two quarterback league. While this trade is whatever, I am worried that this is just the beginning of things to come. Do I say something and restart an argument from three years ago? Back then, I was careful not to be too rude to the weaker player, while also hinting that maybe if he gives his head a shake, this wouldn't be a problem. But I don't really know him, and he's

almost never talked in the group chat, so I don't even know if he's seen it or cares. So what should this person do to try to stop the serial traitor from going back to his old ways? So first of all, T in Toronto, unbelievable email. Well said, well written, and that was fun for the show. So thank you for that. So I've had both of these people in my league before, which is interesting. I've had the, it is not, not these specific people, but these exact type of people. I've had the guy who doesn't check the league much, isn't part of the chat and makes awful trades. And I still think the main thing you can do is you don't kick out the guy making the good

trades, the serial trader. You kick out the guy who's not playing at the level of everyone else. And it's unfortunate. It's harsh, but it's fantasy. If you want a competitive league, you can't have players like this. And especially if he's not active in the group chat. Now, as far as the serial trader goes and all of this, I've had somebody in my league, Steve Hall, shout out. Everyone knows him. He badgers you with trade proposals over and over and over again, barrels you down and finds a way to barrel down people into accepting. I feel like they do kind of get like weakened by the whole process, but that's a skillset in some regard. And like, I almost have to give him credit for his hustle to be completely honest. So I'm not

really against the serial trader here. He's just hustling and it's on you to be better. First of all, the serial trader probably has the worst riz of anybody that we know second of all i i don't think anything should really be said beyond you know if you make a trade that's really bad and really one-sided you're going to get called out for it and if anybody in the league says please don't send me five trade offers a day respect it and as long as those two things are told to the serial trader, hopefully he'll learn from it. But I I'm with you, Dan, I've dealt with people who are like this. I've been guilty of sending multiple trade offers to people before. I do love to trade, but you're hustling. Yeah. But like now I'm at the point where I don't want

to send a trade offer that I wouldn't accept myself. And I think it's a telltale sign whenever anybody tells you why you should accept the trade. Cause you like, you know, when you send a trade offer, there's space to put in a comment. And if, if the comment reads why you should make the trade, you should almost never make the trade because it's just, it, someone's trying to talk you into it. You shouldn't want to be talked into a trade. If you see a trade offer and you think it's fair and you think it makes your team better, you should accept it.

Devontae Adams has been ruled out. Oh. Wow, really? That was out of nowhere. Yeah, wow. Can I tell you one funny thing about the serial trader that is in our league? No, I want to talk about Devontae Adams. A quick aside, and then we'll be done with this.

He is in so many leagues and million leagues. And he once sent our, he's one of my friends. He's once sent us on our group chat, a screenshot of somebody in his dynasty league that sent him back a reply to his trade offer. He was like, dude, I just can't take it anymore. You've battled me down so many times in these trade offers. You've taken, you've sucked all the fun out of this league and I have to quit the league. He literally got someone to quit a league just from barreling them down with so many trade offers. Just a first-time-for-everything type of moment in fantasy for me. I had never seen that before. I need to check a source on this here.

On the Adams? Yeah, no, no. Adam Schefter just tweeted it. Okay. And Max Crosby. And Michael Mayer. Oh, my God. Who's that?

Brock Bowers is a must start. Jacoby Myers definitely becomes interesting. It's a terrible matchup. You saw Crosby's out too? Yeah. Yep. That makes the matchup worlds easier for the Browns. Well, let's see.

What's Jacoby Myers' roster percentage here? Jacoby Myers is rostered in 63% of leagues. Is he going to crack your top 36, Dave? Probably. He might already be there. Trey Tucker is the next guy that I'm going to look at. And he's more of a boom bust type of player anyway, but he's available in 97% of leagues.

That's someone who impressed them during training camp. He's a downfield speed receiver. I think it was last week. He had a huge game. game this is this is probably going to be somebody that gets a full slate of snaps now against that browns defense wow would you start jacoby myers over jaylen waddle yeah he's a comment i've ever seen shout out beans this has just made me laugh more than any comment ever dan schneier looks like the guy sitting next to you at the Benihana, who when the cook starts to light the onion volcano, elbows your side and with wide eyes says, it's showtime. Yes.

That's great. Dan cannot wait to catch the shrimp in his mouth. He just cannot wait. Best comment ever. All right, we got to take a break here. Sit Gardner Minshew, and we'll be right back on Fantasy Football today. I only have about eight minutes left guys so let's do hey i gotta run but i did hear back from heath yeah all right so why does he have

sharpening rank so high his answer is because we aren't projecting ken walker to play i also asked him could you tell me what bad azure take is your favorite and he says that his favorite bad Azertake is that dog and frog do not rhyme. I think we need to steal the part in my take stick and do a Mount Rushmore of Azertakes on a show at some point. And I better be there for that episode. I was on Ben Gretsch's podcast last night watching the Giants game. He says he likes on every Thursday, he likes to have a fan of the team come on, one of the teams come on. So I went on with Ben Gretsch and his two buddies, and we started talking about my takes.

I did say the frog and dog one. They thought I was crazy. I am trying to convince people that 1130 AM is in fact the afternoon. I'm open to that one. I'm open to that one. I'm nodding on it, but I'm open to that. 1130 AM is before noon. Yeah, but here's the thing, but it is, but it's not too early for lunch. It's not too early for lunch.

That's not up for debate. No, it is the afternoon, the afternoon. Okay. It's not afternoon. It's the afternoon. There's a difference. I'm okay with, I'm not, I'm not on your side, but I'm closer. What's the frog dog one again? Frog and dog don't rhyme. Oh no, that's just idiotic. You just proved that it does. I just said, I say, d-a-w-g more and no that's even drew rosenhouse agrees with us yeah we did that dave did ask drew rosenhouse that but um the one that i i that i got them like on board with completely and this one is not a bad take everyone else is wrong i'm sure of it i truly believe jerry

mcguire is not a sports movie and when I laid out my argument, they were absolutely in line with it. I'm in line with that as well. Thank you, Dan. 100% in line with that take. I appreciate it. Very few sports moments. Yeah, go ahead. Always remember, Die Hard is a Christmas movie.

Good luck in week four. Dan, here's my 1130 is the afternoon argument, okay? This is what I said last night. My birthday is June 19th. What's going on during June 19th? When I was growing up, it was like school was over. It's super hot. No matter where you are, it's hot, right?

You're on vacation sometimes. Summer blockbusters are coming out. We always used to go see the Batman movies. This is summertime, a hundred percent. However, technically summer doesn't start until June 20th or June 21st. So June 19th is spring, but you cannot tell me that I have a spring birthday. I 100% have a summer birthday and that's the same, same thing as 1130 being the afternoon. It's really not the worst logic in the world right there it lost for a while i wasn't figuring it out it found a way to get back around and i was like okay i can

kind of get in on this a little bit um but yeah no that's good logic by you good take this one that the frog dog one will never pass with me but everything else was pretty solid all right apple podcast questions from mickety mike what up, Jim, Jack, Johnny, and Jamo? I have no idea. Oh, I know what it is. It's alcohols. It's whiskeys. Different kind of whiskeys.

Half PPR, 2QB League. Yes, you can find out who the true alcoholic is on this show. Adam has no idea what any brand of whiskey is. With Tua on IR, I want to trade him and Malik Neighbors for a quarterback that I can rely on rest of season. Ugh, God, I hate this idea. Yeah. If you have Malik Neighbors on your roster,

you simply can't trade him. And if you do, it has to be for one of the top running backs or the top receivers in return. Stop right there. End of story. I won't listen to anything else. 2QB. This is a 2QB league. He needs a quarterback. I know. Stop right there. End of story. I won't listen to anything else. 2QB. This is a 2QB league.

He needs a quarterback. He has two. But he also has Mahomes and Cousins. So I think I'd rather just get by with Mahomes and Cousins. I read the whole thing. He has Mahomes and Cousins. He doesn't have to worry about the bye weeks. Just play those guys. From What's the Bear Doing? It's boring the hell out of us in

season three, I'll tell you that. I was just offered Christian McCaffrey and Jonathan Brooks for Jonathan Taylor. I have Jordan Mason. Yeah, I mean, look, when you have Jordan Mason, I was offered a McCaffrey trade in a league. I have Mason this week. It was for Rasheed Rice and David Montgomery. I turned that down personally, Adam.

Just too high on Rasheed Rice to do it. So this one's a little even worse i think because you're giving jonathan taylor but we don't love taylor and the red zone offense hasn't been there the whole offense isn't in rhythm it should get better but will it all line hasn't been good i like the deal i'm taking the mcafree side some comments have been so funny today give me some what are you're talking about. Like, I feel bad because he's not here anymore, but... Dave Richard looks like someone you would find on the bottle of barbecue sauce, man.

They're roasting us today. They are roasting us today. All right. From Young Mart. Young Mart says, pick two and half PPR. Drake London, T. Higgins, Garrett Wilson, Terry McLaurin, Khalil Shakir. That was way too fast.

Let me read these again. It's the first two for me, London and Higgins over Wilson, McLaurin and Shakir. No, no, no, no. Wilson in London for me. Got Sertan, buddy. I don't care. Three wide receivers to face Patrick. That could be a good thing if they're willing to play him single up, which I'm not sure

they will be, but I'd rather Sertan with That could be a good thing if they're willing to play him single up, which I'm not sure they will be. Oh, they will. I'd rather Sertan with no shaded, every time shaded safety than a shaded safety with no matter who the corner is. Look what Sertan has done. Mike Evans, George Pickens, and who was the other one? DK Metcalf. Not even 30 yards. Let's revisit it this week if

and only if they don't shade the safety over the top and play with cloud coverage over it. If it's true one-on-. But you can't sit here now and say that. You have to make the prediction on Garrett Wilson. My prediction is they will play him one-on-one, and Garrett Wilson will have a bigger game than T. Higgins. I'm not asking for much. It's T. Higgins. From Nigel, start a running back here in PPR.

Tony Pollard, Zach Moss, one of them. Moss. I'll Tony Pollard, Zach Moss. One of them. Moss. I'll go Pollard. Pick two wide receivers. Nico Collins, DJ Moore, T. Higgins, Garrett Wilson. Wilson and Moore for me. Look, I would love to play Nico. You don't know Nico Collins?

He's hurt. All right. All right. I mean, look, let me read the practice report at the end of the final. Like tomorrow's or no, it'll be today's. So let's take a look. I'll look into it more. If Nico's, if it's not just a scare and he's able to play at his normal

strength, I can go with Nico, but an injured version of him, I'd rather, I mean, Wilson and more a good option. That's fine. You know what? Nico and Wilson. There we go. Okay. And then pick a flex out of Tony Pollard, DJ Moore andore and t higgins it's full ppr it is so

so it's going to be higgins or more um i'll go more yeah my answers would be pollard at running back nico and more at receiver if nico's hurt i'll go to higgins and my flex is going to be zach moss or nico or nico collins yeah well no that's assuming it goes out like i would start and my flex is going to be Zach Moss or Nico Collins. Yeah, well, no, that's assuming Nico's out. I would start Moss over Garrett Wilson in any format. Wow. From Smith Korski. Adam, just because you can make burgers in the oven

doesn't mean you should make burgers in the oven. Well said. I agree. I don't do it anymore. They're just not good enough. I can't do it anymore. Yeah, I would, too. Grade the trade.

Give up my Rashe Rice and Jordan Mason for Jamar chase and Zach Moss. No, no, no, no. I mean, look, Jordan Mason,

so much more valuable than Moss. I know it could come to an end at four or five weeks from now, but even for those four or five weeks and guess what? Rishi rice, especially if you're rice, especially if you're in a PBR league, just as valuable as chase, like chase will have big weeks like last week,

but it's not going to happen every week. He's not facing the Washington secondary every week, which is the worst in the NFL. This is from something H something with an H dear Andy, little Sebastian, Burt Macklin and champion. These are characters from the greatest, the best comedy of our era. Yeah, that would be Parks and Rec, which is not obviously the best comedy.

Which is considerably better than The Office. Considerably. Now it's not just better, it's considerably better. Considerably better, yes. It's a considerably better show. I'll tell you why. Here's my main take for that. I'm going to give you a quick one.

You gave your take for your takes, for your earlier takes. I'm going to give you a quick one. You gave your take for your earlier takes. I'm going to do it quick. The Office has fewer, like there's just a wider range of characters in Parks and Rec. You even can go to the side characters, and they're all so much funnier to me than the side characters on The Office. But you want to talk mains? There's so much more variety in the mains as well. Like Ron Swanson, no one's as funny as Michael Scott, but after you get past Michael Scott, give me Ron Swanson,

Andy Dwyer, like all these guys over even like Dwight and, and like, is Jim even funny? He's kind of funny. Pam, she even really funny. I don't really know.

Uh, Creed, I've always found his, he's funny. He's a little bit overrated. Like Andy Bernard is a legend. Andy Bernard's funny, but these guys are not,

in my opinion, as funny as like Andy. So you're right. I agree with you. Supporting cast is better. However, Michael Scott, the Michael,

he's like Mahomes. The Michael Scott advantage makes them just, yeah, makes them. Okay. The question was trade away. One final take on that.

One quick final take on that. The love stories are so much more fun. Not that this, we should be getting into this now. I've had to take on Mean Girls in this episode in parks than the office like i hate the jim pam relationship and that dude who was the boyfriend before but like all the stuff on

park like andy and april is unbelievable uh yeah and ben and leslie is fun both are fun the jim pam relationship is great are you kidding me oh i do not like Jim, Pam. I thought Jim should have went with Rashida Jones. You have no heart. Rashida Jones is just a better person on the show. Legitimately better human being. And I think that's another take that I think some might actually agree with. No, they're both very nice human beings. They had nothing wrong with either of them.

Nah, Pam was kind of overrated. I'm not sure Pam was... I'm not sure Jim and Pam were the people that they're made out to be or thought to be. I think they're wonderful. I trade away... Selfish mood on that show. Would you trade away Bucky Irving for Zach Charbonnet? If you have Ken Walker? Hmm. Interesting. I don't think so. Would you add them? I don't, I don't think I would do this trade. I think I would. Yeah. I mean,

I could definitely see arguments both ways. This is my thing with Bucky Irving. Rashad White is obviously not a good rusher. I just think, you know, we know that. But he's really good as a pass catcher. So the best case scenario for Bucky Irving, I still don't think he's catching a lot of passes. And Charbonnet Walker has proven to be so damn valuable. So I would rather lock up the Seahawks backfield. Worst case for you is that, like, Charbonnet eats Steelers, the Seahawks backfield. Worst case

for you is that like Charbonnet eats into Walker, like kind of what Dan was saying. If you think that Charbonnet is going to make Walker less valuable, then you probably stick with Bucky Irving. But I think if you have the starting running back for the Seahawks, you have a must start, mostly a must start player. Can I throw a quick vote in for the funniest member of our chat and it's beans. Here's another banger from him. Adam Azer looks like he constantly tells his family, I'm not sleeping. I'm just resting my eyes. And there's actually proof of this when he was at Nando's house and he just fell asleep on the couch during a hangout at our age, Adam, I'm actually disappointed that under 40, I had to fill in for,

for Jamie today on a show. And I was like, Oh, well, I'm not going to nap today. This is like a real, I was playing. I had the whole thing budgeted. I was like, oh, well, I'm not going to nap today. This is like a real, I was playing. I had the whole thing budgeted. I was like, you're going to nap at your age all the time. I have to get this to get to the football season. It's the only way I can survive.

All right. YouTubers, let's get those questions in. Uh, let's see. Akers or Jamison Williams in full PPR? JMO. Yeah. Full PPR.

Would you trade away Zamir White for Tajay Spears? Yeah, me too. You guys should know how I feel about Zamir White. Rashida Jones all the way is the second part. Is Jaden Reed for Devontae Smith a good move? It's interesting. I'd rather have Devontae.

We like Reed a lot moving forward. I like Reed a lot moving forward, but I still would do it. but i still would do it half ppr would you trade chuba hubbard and dionte johnson for tyreek hill yes i would take that shot i'm struggling i think i still would take the deal but it is crazy how this is not a snap for me and i'll tell you what i will regret that if two it doesn't come back oh of course should i start derrick carr like we talked about earlier like yes huntley i think could do a little better than skyler but it's not about he's going to be affected in other ways he's going to run the ball they're going to move in wildcat type stuff zone read like all sorts of stuff that doesn't help tyreek hill yeah i know it's going to be

bad should i start derrick carr against the Falcons or Anthony Richardson against the Steelers? Carr. I'm going to go Richardson. I'm going to go Richardson. Yeah, I mean, Richardson has more chance for upside, but I'm taking Carr. Would you trade Dobbins and Bucky Irving for Jaden Reed and Jordan Addison?

Kind of depends on your situation. Do you have the running back depth to pull this trade off? If you do, I would make the trade. Let's see. Pam cheated on Roy to get with Jim. I'm with you, Dan. Yep, John knows.

A lot of people in the chat have actually talked about how right I was on that take. Start one. Waddle, Coleman, Brian Thomas, or Yoshivas? I'm going to go Brian Thomas. I think I'm going Brian Thomas, or Yoshivas? I'm going to go Brian Thomas. I think I'm going Brian Thomas here. I just can't believe I can't say Waddle. Rice, Nico, or Metcalf, who are you sitting?

Ooh, I think Nico is my sit. Nico's only a sit if he's hurt. I mean, if he's fine. Yeah, I'm assuming he's not playing fully healthy. Obviously, I could be wrong on that, but he's mispracticed. If he's fully healthy and this was just a scare, we can go with Niko. In that case, I would sit Metcalf. Do you trade Kyron Williams for Christian McCaffrey?

I have Brees Hall and Devon Achan, and it's a keeper league. I mean, we don't know the settings of this keeper league. Is it a round keeper league? It makes that part of it really difficult. I'm only, unfortunately, going to be able to answer this for a redraft,raft i think because i don't know the keeper league settings uh it's just how it goes um and no i wouldn't do it yeah me either i think i'm more down on mcafree than most people i just don't like the developments here and honestly dan and i could be completely wrong we have no idea but i mean we're not doctors i'm playing cautiously here. And neither are most of the guys who play one on Twitter.

That's 40 sports. You don't think so? No, I don't buy into any of that. Terry or JSN full PPR. We go JSN. I go, Terry. I really like, and I think that rapport is building. And I think they were close.

They finally hit them in the last week. And I think that's only going to build from there. Jaden and Terry. Ridley or Jamo? Go Jamo. Yeah, Jamo. Ridley is just, you can't play him right now. Stevenson or Drake London?

Oh, sorry, I clicked the wrong one. But Stevenson or Drake London? London. And in a tight end premium league, would you trade away Worthy and Kelsey for Tyreek Hill? I have Dallas Goddard. No. Yes,

I would do that. Really? You wouldn't do that. Tight end premium. Um, again, I'm just very, very skeptical and concerned with the dolphins passing.

Yeah, I know, but come on, you're getting Tyree kill for Xavier worthy and Kelsey and Kelsey in a tight end premium. That's the key. They have Goddard. I know. Look,

all right. I would do Goddard is not going to be somebody you can count on. We've got to swing for the fences a little bit here. I think. All right. I don't know what that is. I'm not sure. And last one.

Start Michael Wilson, Cam Akers, or Bucky Irving at half PPR? Hmm. Cam if Mixon doesn't play, and I don't think he is going to play. Yeah. I'm going to agree, but Michael Wilson is very tempting thank you very much everybody we are out of here for today have a great weekend good luck in week 4 and we'll see you later Paramount Podcasts
