Starting point is 00:01:39 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. Here we go. Yeah, Adam Azer and Dan Schneier, two-man show this morning on Friday morning, 11 a.m.
Starting point is 00:02:03 We don't have a lot of injury news. Hopefully, that will trickle in as we do this show. As we welcome you to Fantasy Football Today, presented by BetMGM, the sportsbook born in Vegas. And good morning to you, Dan Schneier. I'm over here still trying to process this mustache that you have, Adam. I can't even figure out what joke I want to make. There's some that came to mind early. I realized I'm probably not going to be able to make those. I really think about this. I got to process this mustache, but you know, kind of like Jets fans
Starting point is 00:02:34 right now processing what the heck just happened last night, because I grew up in the New Jersey area, North New Jersey shout out there. One of the best areas in the world to live in has everything beach mountains food. I've said it before. I'll say it again, but a lot of J best areas in the world to live in has everything beach mountains food i've said it before i'll say it again but a lot of jets fans in my life adam and they're trying to process what they just watched because they're not used to watching that kind of football they're not used to watching that kind of quarterback play and i feel good for them because they deserve this a lot of my giants fan friends are anti-jets this year anti-rogers all that but you know what like they've suffered so much, Adam. So I just feel like they deserve to have a little bit of joy in their lives.
Starting point is 00:03:09 If they go to the Super Bowl, you're going to root for them to win? That's the big question. That's when it becomes. And I need to, it's time. I'll decide when I'm there. I'll decide when I'm obviously if it's against the Cowboys or Eagles. Yes, I will. I'll tell you that right now.
Starting point is 00:03:22 Yeah. If it's Cowboys, Eagles, I root for Jets. Anyone else? I need to feel it out and see how I feel when we get there, Adam. You know, my brother is a diehard Jets fan. I do know that about your brother. Diehard Jets fan. It's odd how your dad allowed this to happen in the family.
Starting point is 00:03:35 Whenever these families surface where it's like there's two kids, one's like a Dolphins fan, one's a Jets fan, or one's a Jets, one's a Giants. I'm always like, I kind of think a little bit less of the father in that house. He doesn't care. Wow, what a horrible thing to say about my dad. Yes, I do. No, and you know what? I think I'll be backed up a little bit by the chat and the listeners.
Starting point is 00:03:54 If you're a dad, part of your job is to imprint your fanhood on your children. He's not a fan. He doesn't have any fanhood. That, you know, then I'm definitely thinking a little bit less of him. No, just kidding, just kidding, which is not everything. Wow. All right. Let's get right to to the emails here.

This is from Drew.
Starting point is 00:04:49 Half PPR, Jerome Ford or Brian Robinson, and Geno Smith or Jordan Love if he plays. Every time you do these, Adam, just for my sake, can you do me a favor and give me the matchups on each of them? Yeah, Jerome Ford has the Giants. You probably knew that. Knew that. Brian Robinson's at Cincinnati on Monday,
Starting point is 00:05:07 so we'll start with that. Okay, don't like the recent usage I've seen from Ford and Foreman. Seems like Cleveland is trying to get a little bit set up up front with Foreman. I don't know if that's going to be a game-to-game thing based on matchups, but it's enough for me to want to go Robinson there.
Starting point is 00:05:21 And what was the other question? That would be Jordan Love at Tennessee or Geno Smith against the Dolphins. Limited, limited, limited is the word that the Packers offense coordinator used to describe Jordan Love. Mr. Unlimited. No, that guy is still on the bench somewhere recording subway commercials. But I will go with the healthy quarterback, Geno Smith.
Starting point is 00:05:41 I just love what I've seen so far from the new offense under Ryan Grubb. I think this could be big. I think the NFL could look at what he's doing as far as taking advantage of the space that's available in the passing game. Uh, with all these defenses playing this too high cover to look, did you see what Aaron Rogers said today about Mel Kiper? It was really funny in the post game. He was like, they were asking him, Aaron Rogers, like what's going on? Like, you know, you played a great game, but what about Garrett Wilson? We haven't gotten Garrett Wilson involved. He's like, look, they're every single look, pretty much,
Starting point is 00:06:08 every single defense has played too high, and they've rolled the safety over Garrett Wilson. He's like, basically, it's been Mel Kuyper Jr.'s nightmare, and the whole crowd cracked up. It was a funny joke. But, yeah, this is a good way to attack it. Seattle's done a really good job attacking it with Ryan Grubb. Geno Smith, zero off-target throws last week. One of the most insane stats of the week that no one's not enough people are talking about.
Starting point is 00:06:27 You could just say Geno Smith. This is our first question. You know how I am, Adam. You know how I am. Our first question just went for three minutes. But it was actually a pretty solid analysis if I might say so myself. It was great. Good job.
Starting point is 00:06:37 Good job. All right. This is from Mike. Subject line. Let's see if Dan knows politics. Dear Al. What? Dear Al, Dick, and Joe.
Starting point is 00:06:48 Al Gore, Dick Cheney, Joe Biden. They are? Nothing, because Dick Cheney, wasn't he on the other side? Yeah, but they were all what? What job did they have? Vice president. Hey, Dan knows politics. I mean, first of all, the next time you ever say the word politics on the show and Dan, don't ever put that in the same sentence.
Starting point is 00:07:08 I don't want any piece of that ever again. Should I trade Jalen Waddle for Amari Cooper? Yes. And I'll tell you what, Adam, I'm going to ask you what you would have done. I was offered Jalen Waddle straight up for Rashid Shaheed this week, and I said no. I would have taken Waddle. I know and it seems like you're supposed to but if we don't get Tua back I don't care about Tyler no if we don't get Tua
Starting point is 00:07:31 back then yeah but you're probably right I mean maybe we shouldn't just assume that Tua is coming back and the biggest issue with it is it's like it's not a situation where like Waddle's hurt you could just leave him on your bench or IR you're like looking at potential times where you're like I guess I have to start Waddle. It's Jalen Waddle. It's like three for 24, four for 13, and it's like four for 31. It's just like, yikes, yikes. It's scary times.
Starting point is 00:07:54 And Tyreek as well. Scary times. All right, this is from Caleb. PPR, sit one of these guys. Amon Ross, St. Brown, Devante Smith, Rasheed Rice, Marvin Harrison Jr. Ouch. That's actually an easy one for me. these guys i'm on russ saint brown davante smith rishi rice marvin harrison jr ouch same that's actually an easy one for me i think i'm sitting saint brown because he's not healthy he's fully healthy not fully healthy all right i'm gonna sit marvin harrison who does marvin have i mean again i would love to know some i know you're looking at him who lions this and some will read the chat
Starting point is 00:08:24 and say it's my i'm supposed to know every match you are you should you should looking at him. Who? Lions. And some will read the chat and say it's my, I'm supposed to know every match. You should, you should know at least some, I respect that. You know what I respect? I should have memorized every matchup. I respect that. Um,
Starting point is 00:08:32 I guess without knowing matchups, let me get a schedule up. Okay. Let me get the schedule up. Detroit is at Arizona. So I'm on our St. Brown and Marvin Harrison are facing each other. Okay.
Starting point is 00:08:41 Devante Smith has new Orleans and Rishi rice has and Rasheed Rice has Atlanta on Sunday night. I don't care about the AJ injury. I'll sit Devontae. Devontae? Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah. All right.
Starting point is 00:08:53 Take a little chance there. From Joe, is Brees Hall a sell high with Braylon Allen working in? Look, let me say something real quick and I don't want to take too much of Adam's time, but on one question, but Braylon Allen, there was a big Wisconsin group chat fire off with Braylon Allen last night
Starting point is 00:09:09 because he looks nothing like what he looked as a Badger. It's almost like a completely different player on the field. Super fast right now. It's unbelievable. He's fast. The feet we always saw at Wisconsin, he's so decisive right now, and he's lowering his shoulder, which he never did. Look, the skill set was always there. He's super big, super fast, super talented, super nimble.
Starting point is 00:09:28 And I got to tell you, he's putting it all together. So he's going to be a special player, but I still think Brees Hall is going to get the red zone looks for the most part. And Brees Hall is getting a ton of looks in the passing game because Aaron Rodgers is so good right now from a pre post-nap processing standpoint that he's moving through his reads fast. And if he doesn't like what he sees, he's coming right down to Brees Hall, which we saw multiple times last night. So keep Brees Hall. Do not sell high.
Starting point is 00:09:49 Okay. From, who's this from? I don't have a name. Dear Pat, Bo, and Cam. Bo Nix? No, I don't think so. Cam Newton? Auburn quarterbacks.
Starting point is 00:10:04 Yeah. Auburn quarterbacks. Bo Nix, Cam Newton I don't think so. Cam Newton? Auburn quarterbacks. Yeah. Auburn quarterbacks. Bo Nix, Cam Newton, and Pat. Oh. Yeah, I'm doing pretty good today. So Pat Dye is your— I'm doing pretty, pretty good on these today. Let me just say so.
Starting point is 00:10:14 I'm on a roll. Yeah, maybe— I don't care that I didn't get to third. I'm still right. I thought it was Bo Jackson. I think it's Bo Jackson. I think it's— Auburn players who have thrown a pass?
Starting point is 00:10:24 Auburn. Did Cam Newton win the Heisman? Oh, Auburn players have thrown a pass? Auburn. Did Cam Newton win the Heisman? Oh, Auburn Heisman? No, Bo Nixon won the Heisman there. No, because it's not Bo Nixon. It's Bo Jackson. Oh.
Starting point is 00:10:35 Auburn Heisman Trophy winners has been Cam Newton, Bo Jackson, and Pat Dye, I believe. Pat Sullivan. Casey said, it's your job, Dan. Pat Sullivan. Let me tell you something, Casey. Pat Sullivan, not Pat Dye. My job is not to memorize the schedule every week. I can tell you that for certain. It sort of is your job, Dan. Let me tell you something, Casey. My job is not to memorize the schedule every week. I can tell you that.
Starting point is 00:10:47 It sort of is your job. It's close to my job. And look, we're in week three. There's a little bit of rust. It's not even a rust factor. Look, I'm not going to remember every game every week. Do you know every single game on the Adam? You do.
Starting point is 00:10:57 Okay. What's every game on the slate this week? Actually, I don't want to ask you that. You might get it right. Let's move on. I'll get it right. I mean, I might forget some just off the top of my head, but I know who the match is. All right, so the question from Auburn fan here is,
Starting point is 00:11:08 grade the trade, 12-team non-PPR, three receivers. I gave up Chuba Hubbard, Jalen Waddell, and Jake Ferguson, who he picked up off waivers, Hubbard, Waddell, and Ferguson for DeAndre Swift and Tee Higgins. Yeah. No, that's great he gave up hubbard what waddle and ferguson yeah he gave up hubbard waddle and ferguson he already has kincaid and hockinson i mean for what that's worth yeah and he got swift who's better than hubbard and higgins who's better than waddle i'm not high on smith uh i'm not no no you see swift
Starting point is 00:11:44 right yeah i'm not high on swift i guess he is technically better than hubbard um not to me to much of an extent but yeah i'll take it because the higgins upside this is from kenneth when you hear the name kenneth what do you think of by the way walker definitely think of 30 rock uh i i never you know i didn't watch enough 30 rock every time i've watched it i've laughed. It's really clever. It's kind of like Veep before Veep. It almost feels like Veep was better. Veep was better.
Starting point is 00:12:10 You say Veep was better. You basically never seen 30 Rock. But I know it. I've seen five, six episodes. Look, I've seen more 30 Rock than I've seen Frasier. I'll tell you that. Kenneth wants to know, Jamison Williams or Malik Neighbors this week?
Starting point is 00:12:24 Malik. Jamison Williams is facing Arizona Neighbors this week? Malik. Jamison Williams is facing Arizona, and Malik has the Browns. The name of the game is target share. The name of the game is volume, and Malik Neighbors has dominated volume over the NFL. I mean, 18 targets last week, Adam. The most first-read targets in the NFL
Starting point is 00:12:40 by a wide margin with a quarterback who's a first-read quarterback. I know the Browns will do everything they can to shut him down, but at worst, we're seeing what he got in week one. I'm so on the fence about this one. I feel like eventually, Sam Laporta
Starting point is 00:12:55 is going to have a bigger target share, and it'll come at the expense of Jamison Williams. I'm going to go with Jamison Williams. I just think the Browns are going to smother the Giants. I think they might score 10 points in this game. All right, Dan wants to give a food review. Dan has to give a music review because he said he had never heard of the Gin Blossoms, which was a lie apparently.
Starting point is 00:13:15 But we got to take a break. We got to take a break. We'll do that. We'll come back. Dan has a hot take food review from what I understand. Looking forward to that. We'll be right back on Fantasy Football today. Did you know that across Ontario, utility damage happens 19 times a day?
Starting point is 00:13:33 That's over 4,222 incidents a year. Don't let your next dig be one that causes costly delays or safety risks. Before you break ground, make it a point to request a locate. It's not just the law. It's a step to keep your team and community safe visit ontarioonecall.ca and avoid unnecessary damages to get the job done right data sourced from the orcga 2023 dirt report all right welcome back everybody okay dan you've been hungry lately you've been eating what do you got for us all right so it's going to come with a story because you know how i am but i'll try to keep it brief. Uh, over the pandemic, a bunch of like-minded people got
Starting point is 00:14:10 together for a charity poker tournament, um, for a former survivor player who had cancer and we raised money for her in that we met up with a group of people who were fans of the show survivor and fans of the show poker. Since then, we've turned that group into a friend group. We did zooms during the pandemic. Um, some of the survivors you might fans of the show poker. Since then, we've turned that group into a friend group. We did zooms during the pandemic. Some of the survivors you might know, but I'm not going to shout them out because I don't want to put them on blast like that. But the reality of the situation is one of the friends,
Starting point is 00:14:34 one of the fans in the group who we've become good friends with through this, through chat and through meeting up actually is on survivor this season. She made it. He's on the show. So for those who saw the first episode, root for Rachel. So quick turnaround trip, Adam. We flew out to our hometown of Detroit.
Starting point is 00:14:52 Unbelievable show. She had a premiere party. Rent out a theater. It was so cool. When did you do this? I flew out immediately. Wednesday night. Came right back.
Starting point is 00:14:59 Holy moly. Quick trip. After work and then before work in the morning. Like red eye type stuff. Just had to get out there, had to experience this. It was honestly one of the greatest experiences I've had in a while from a sporting event standpoint, it felt like a sporting event because there's challenges in the show. And she won the first challenge for her team, like took the team from behind and did it herself on the puzzle on wheel. We're in the theater. We're
Starting point is 00:15:20 cheering. We're going wild. And I don't have that anymore. The giants don't give me any reason to cheer when I go to the game. So it's actually felt like the best sporting event I had been to in a while. Anyway, part of the trip was let's try Detroit style pizza. And I got to say, Adam, we went to a place called Como's shout out. Como's had Detroit styled for the first time. I've had Chicago style plenty of times. I lived in the Midwest when I went to school in Wisconsin.
Starting point is 00:15:43 Not going to lie. And this is going to hurt a lot of people. It started with, first of all, let me just say where it started. It started with somebody being like, Oh, Detroit pizza. Guess what? Just, it's just thinking like a casserole. They use the word casserole to describe. And I was like, Oh my God, I'm going to hate this Adam. This is going to be disgusting. It was nothing like a casserole. It was essentially just our, our version of deep dish pan pizza, but crispier and better. And I got to say Detroit style pizza is better than Chicago style pizza. Yes. I've had Luminati's. Yes. I've had all the different,
Starting point is 00:16:10 I've had like three different ones, Gino's East, whatever Detroit style pizza is better than Chicago style pizza. I'm here to say it and I'm going to stand by it. That's the take. I didn't know that was such a hot day. I thought you were going to say it's better than New York. Nothing's better than New York style pizza. I think you know that very clearly, Adam, but let's be clear about that. I never had Detroit style. I know I never had, I never think to have it, but like, let me tell you, it lived up to the hype that they made for it. And that's very, very excited. What did you have on it? So we ordered like four different kinds of pizzas. One was like a hot honey pepperoni, all sorts of really good stuff going on. Yeah. What? You
Starting point is 00:16:44 don't like hot honey pepperoni? I don't like anything spicy. Like pepperoni is borderline too spicy for me. Did I throw hot honey on there? Forget it. Come on. Forget it. Come on.
Starting point is 00:16:53 But yeah, I want to do one final shout out. Shout out to the Outpluff Poker Crew. And we are the people who went out, cheered on Rachel. She had an amazing first episode. She was awesome. And I'm just hoping she can make a run on this season. So if you're watching Survivor Shadow, it's on CBS, by the way. This is cross-promotion, Adam. This is cross-promotion at its finest.
Starting point is 00:17:10 CBS, Wednesdays, 8pm. Company man. Hey, what football games are on CBS this week? There are football games on CBS. Thankfully, not a Giants game, because that's a sad, sad watch. Is it not? I mean, it is in Cleveland. That's probably on Fox. It's still on Fox. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:28 So, yeah, what did you think of the Gin Blossoms? So Dan had never heard. He said he had never heard of it. Oh, no. Somebody said, I bet Dan something about the Gin Blossoms. I guarantee Dan has never heard of the Gin Blossoms. So I sent him. So here's the funny thing. I found out about you, which is my favorite.
Starting point is 00:17:39 I know people favor Hey Jealousy. Found out about you is my favorite Gin Blossoms song. And I wanted a review for today's show. Yeah. Review of the Gin Blossoms song. Found out about you. It was my favorite Gin Blossom song, and I wanted a review for today's show. Yeah, review of the Gin Blossom song. Found out about you. So I found out that I had heard this song before when I listened to it. I think this is what happens a lot with these references for me. Obviously, those who listen to the show know I'm not good with references.
Starting point is 00:17:58 I don't know a lot about pop culture, especially when it comes to movies and things that happen in the 90s, 80s range. Again, some would argue, myself would argue, I was born in 89. How should I know this stuff? Others would say, you should, I know stuff from the 70s and 60s and I was born in the 80s. That was one of the replies I saw. Made me feel a little bad about myself, Adam, I'm not gonna lie. But after listening to the song, I found out I had heard this song. Pretty good riff opening. These are, I will say this adam though you i feel like you have a type when it when it comes to music like you like these like sing-alongs like kind of like you know pop pop rock yeah i like pop rock yeah you're more of a
Starting point is 00:18:34 pop rock guy than mike my kind of rock is more of like the grateful dead like the allman brothers like that kind of rock so it's not really my style i don't like classic rock i like classic rock quite a bit i i mean i like stone temple pilots a lot better than gin blossoms you know but but i i don't know if i've heard of stone temple pilots what did you just say it could be a situation where i've heard the song but don't know it was the band this is kind of what happened with gin blossoms like i had heard found out about you okay the gin blossoms and stoneots are a completely different level. I don't know if I've heard Stone Temple Pilots.
Starting point is 00:19:10 I've definitely never heard the name Stone Temple Pilots. That I know for sure. They sing a song called Plush. Wicked Garden, Interstate Love Song. Are you kidding me? Definitely. No, no, no. I would have to hear any of those. I mean, you should see the comments.
Starting point is 00:19:22 People are going to kill you for this. Not really. I see Bad Guy Riley says, I only know Stone Temple Pilots from Guitar Hero. the comments like people are going to kill you for this this is not really i see bad guy right he says i only know stone temple pilots from guitar hero yeah but then like this guy just wrote tf question mark um yeah well you know i give the shout out to the actual listener you just call him this guy let's see who's i mean who's the better guy here all right let's get back to the emails here all right next week you're definitely reviewing i'm going to give you i'm going to make you a spotify playlist of stP songs because they are the best. Dan does
Starting point is 00:19:46 not live on Earth to answer John's question. I don't. I live on my own Earth. I do think you've heard STP songs, but not the names. I'm sure. I'm sure it's a similar situation to the last band. But no, I've never heard of them. Stonepile Templates, no. Stone Temple Pilots. Stone Temple Pilots, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:20:02 Stone Temple Pilots. From Cody. Cody needs two to start this week. Caleb Williams at the Colts. Sam Darnold against Houston. And Justin Fields at the Chargers. Or home against the Chargers. Caleb Williams, Sam Darnold, Justin Fields. We need two.
Starting point is 00:20:19 I'm sitting Caleb Williams. I think right now the only thing you can do is sit Caleb Williams. It sucks. There were some moments. I think right now the only thing you can do is sit Caleb Williams. It sucks. There were some moments. I rewatched the tape. There were some moments where he looked to be just off just off on a few throws.
Starting point is 00:20:35 I thought he was horrible then. I know. It wasn't good, but there were a few moments where they were just off timing wise, but ultimately, I can't bet on a Shane Waldron offense right now. I have so much pain watching a Shane Waldron offense. I don't understand this guy at all. The running game is specifically, I mean, this might be the least diverse run game since the Cincinnati bangles under Shane Waldron. Has Dan heard of Nirvana? Yes. I've heard of Nirvana, Hector Rivera. I know a lot of Nirvana songs. See the big ones I can do the big, you
Starting point is 00:21:02 don't think Stone Temple Pilots was a big one? They're like Rock and Roll Hall of Fame caliber. They are. And I'm sure I've heard their songs, okay? Raheem Mostert is. Somebody said they are on Z100 all the time. What makes you think I was listening to Z100? I think that's part of the problem here. I'm not a Z100 kind of guy, okay?
Starting point is 00:21:18 Z100, they were on Z100? I mean, back in the 90s when like rock music would have been on Z100. I wasn't really alive. I was like three years old, one years old. What are we doing here? When were you in 1998? You were seven? You were nine.
Starting point is 00:21:28 Nine? I don't know how to do math. You were born in 1989. You need me to tell you how old you were? All right, anyway. Yeah, Raheem Mostert's unlikely to play this week, so don't start Jalen Wright or Jeff Wilson. Just start Devon Achan.
Starting point is 00:21:41 This is from Todd. I need two for flex spots. Pollard versus the Packers. Cooks against the Ravens. Likely against Dallas. Christian Kirk against Buffalo. Tony Pollard is definitely going to be one of them. That's the lock. Brandon Cooks likely or Christian Kirk.
Starting point is 00:21:58 What was the Kirk matchup? Buffalo, right? I'm going to go Christian Kirk against Buffalo with my theory that Buffalo takes away the deep ball so well they give up the underneath stuff. So Kirk against Buffalo with my theory that Buffalo takes away the deep ball so well. They give up the underneath stuff. So Kirk gets gone with that. From Josh. Dear Daniel, Julio, Mac, and Felix.
Starting point is 00:22:16 Alabama players? Mac Jones, Felix Jones. No, Felix. Oh, Joneses. They're all Joneses. See, I'm actually pretty damn good at this when we really think about it and we break down the numbers i bet you i get more than i'm credited for and i bet you i can't to some extent do better than the rest of the show to some extent do better than the rest of the show i'm not sure if that makes any sense you either do better or you don't
Starting point is 00:22:36 half start two and half ppr tank dell at minnesota t higgins against washington cam acres at minnesota uh sorry i was laughing at a comment right here rob rob jokes that dandons start listening to music until the 2000s he was too busy in the 90s i forgot about the two little inside callback joke i love a good i love a good circle back callback joke adam that's kind of my sense of humor right there it's like the larry david seinfeld style build the joke back circle it back so good job there um this one's even better that i gotta throw up real quick and then we'll get back to your question. Um, does Adam wear tube socks when he plays tennis? Mr. Cigars, I've played Adam in tennis, no tube socks, but his outfit was pretty normal. I'll say that his game though, that was, that was the issue. It was his game, not the outfit. He just couldn't find a way to win many points. All right. So I would start
Starting point is 00:23:23 T Higgins and tank Dell. Thank you for the question, Josh. Greg from a city in Northern California, Dan. Oh, well, remember, I think everywhere in Northern California is the Pacific Northwest until proven otherwise. We'll find out if I ever am. How about Bakersville out there? The one with Bakersfield? Bakersfield? Maybe Bakersfield? I don't know. No, there about a Baker's Bakersfield out there? The one with a Bakersfield Bakersfield Bakersfield, maybe Bakersfield.
Starting point is 00:23:47 I know. No, there was a stopover city in Northern California. I, we, me and my brother did an Airbnb. And when we did our trip down from Seattle, all the way down into San Francisco, we drove down beautiful, beautiful drive. Can't remember it, but it was one of the weirdest cities I'd ever been to. It felt like an industrial, an old industrial city. I've really lost interest in this. Yeah, this is not great. Let's move forward.
Starting point is 00:24:06 Dear Derek, Drew, Aaron, and Archie. I've learned I kind of need Jamie here to settle me in and kind of reel me in. So, Jamie, don't ever leave us again. I'm really going off the rails. Dear Derek, Drew, Aaron,
Starting point is 00:24:22 and Archie. Derek, Drew, Aaron, and Archie and archie archie bunker is what i think of when i hear archie yeah it's definitely archie like it's definitely our reference you're stunned you should be stunned to know that i know that reference i'm like we're both way too young for archie bunker but derrick drew aaron and archie these are court i, he's got to be quarterbacks who had relatives that played in the NFL. Derek Carr. Aaron Rodgers. Archie Manning.
Starting point is 00:24:58 Aaron Brooks. Saints quarterbacks. Oh. Wow. I keep hitting this. I'm on a spree. Oh, you saw it in the chat. You saw it in the chat. Wow. I keep hitting this. I'm on a spree of just figuring stuff out. Oh, you saw it in the chat. You saw it in the chat.
Starting point is 00:25:09 No. Hold on. This chat came at 11.29, and we can confirm that I said this before 11.29. We're going to go back to the table. It's 11.29 right now. It's simultaneous. I know, but I set it at like 11.28 with 22 seconds.
Starting point is 00:25:20 I promise you I said it before I saw it in the chat. 12-team PPR league. I traded Jordan Mason to the McCaffrey manager it before I saw it in the chat. 12-team PPR league. I traded Jordan Mason to the McCaffrey manager for Chris Olave. Grade the trade. Yeah, I mean, look, I'm good with it.
Starting point is 00:25:35 I understand it. But you have to understand that there's a chance you're going to take the L here if McCaffrey comes back, gets re-injured, which is likely, or not likely, I should say,
Starting point is 00:25:44 possible. Or if it's re-injured, which is likely or not likely, I should say possible. Um, or if it's like the 49ers are just waiting to bring him back, or if it's like a true timeshare, then it's still an okay trade. I like a lot of it. I think a lot of it is on the brink of breaking out. So I'm good with it. This is the type of receiver I would want to get in this type of spot, but I think it does have some risk in this trade.
Starting point is 00:26:03 Okay. Wow. Adam pulling. I don't even want to say it. What? You were looking down at your phone. I'm making an STP playlist. I'm making an STP playlist for you.
Starting point is 00:26:12 I know what you were going to say, though. I like to trade. That's some inside baseball. That's some inside fantasy football today right there. All right. Gray, the trade from Quentin. Give up J.K. Dobbins and Quentin Johnston for Chris Olave and Ty Chandler. Yeah, it's a great trade, but it's what you want to do. It's the sell high, buy low kind of trade,
Starting point is 00:26:32 which is generally speaking the way to win in fantasy football. But I'm not going to sit here and tell you it doesn't carry any risk because J.K. Dobbins, if he stays healthy, is going to be a force in fantasy football. And that's the big if, uh, you know, there's, you feel like there's a chance that you're selling before the injury. It's just so hard to predict injuries, but I'll tell you this, like Quinton Johnson's advanced numbers and the stuff behind the scenes with him right now is actually pretty promising. And I think if you look at just through the first two games from everything, the target share, the target per outrun standpoint, he's improved a lot as a football player, he's taken a jump and the way that offense is set up, I always said during the preseason, like they're going to run an offense that's heavy on play action,
Starting point is 00:27:08 and it's going to look to take shots down the field based off of play action. Quinton Johnson is their best receiver by far for a play action-based under center attack that's going to have intermediate and vertical routes built into the system. So he's kind of the best fit there. And he's the best fit in the red zone, almost in a lot of ways. And when they give them those one-on-ones, the outside,
Starting point is 00:27:26 like the touchdown, Quinton Johnson scored this past week, Adam. And to be fair, I am filibustering a little bit here. Cause Adam is doing something. I'm just waiting for you to end. Like I'm fine.
Starting point is 00:27:34 I was doing this because you're just on your phone. These are all good points. The one-on-one that he saw last week, he's going to see a lot of those. All right. No, he rolled up over the top. You're good.
Starting point is 00:27:42 Touchdown one-on-one. We're good. From Brandon. Dear Riley, Parker, Colt, and Kerry. You need to get the Oscar music to start playing me off. Oh, my God. You're being, like, really wordy today. Riley, Parker, Colt, and Kerry.
Starting point is 00:27:57 No words to this one. I have no idea. I have Kyron Williams, Josh Jacobs, and James Cook. Who should I bench this week? Kyron Williams, Josh Jacobs, and James Cook. Who should I bench this week? Kyron Williams, Josh Jacobs, James Cook. Kyron is the easy bench for me. I am completely out on the Rams offense until told otherwise. Two major injuries on the
Starting point is 00:28:15 O-line. No cup, no puka, no offense is how I see that thing going. Okay. From Mike B. Give Kamara for Tyreek Hill. Give Godwin for Jonathan Taylor. You know, too early for victory laps, but I want to
Starting point is 00:28:31 credit Adam for Camara. Camara looks super fresh in the film I've seen. Completely different, and I think he reached a miles per hour last week that he hasn't reached in three years. I think you might have told me that, or somebody told me that recently, which is incredible. So he's clearly worked on his, his form in the off season came back fresh.
Starting point is 00:28:47 So I'm not going to trade Camara as crazy as that sounds for Tyreek. It's just weird, Adam, but I don't want Tyreek or waddle right now. I don't want them. And I'm even scared of HN. People say, oh,
Starting point is 00:28:58 don't worry. HN will get volume. I don't care if he's getting volume. If the offense doesn't move the ball with Skylar Thompson, Tyler Huntley, which I'm really worried. It won't until proven. Otherwise. Would you trade Chris Godwin for Jonathan Taylor? Yes. Easy. Yeah, I think I do that too. This is from Big Fred in Queens,
Starting point is 00:29:14 New York, who's in the FFT Open Stample division. He thinks we're overlooking Samaje Pirine, that he's not just going to be a passing downs guy. What do you think? No, I don't think we're over downs guy. What do you think? No, I don't think we're overlooking him. I don't think there's, you know, he came to the system late. Doesn't really know the system at all.
Starting point is 00:29:31 Yes. He's had some weeks now, but he didn't have training camp. Carson steals. The one who's been in this system all summer. I think it will be Carson steel who leads the way. And our next question is for a different division. Hold on. I just have to get the music. It's for a different division. Hold on.
Starting point is 00:29:46 I just have to get the music. It's for the fantasy cops. Here we go. This one is from Kevin. Hey, Joe, Jeff, George, and Ross. Joe, Jeff, George, and Ross. I keep saying Ross. Joe, Jeff, George, and Ross.
Starting point is 00:30:04 Joe, Jeff, George, and Ross. Joe, Jeff, George, and Russ. Russ Wilson, I think, maybe, but then Joe, Jeff, George. No, I'm out on this one. Yeah, I have no idea. A coup in our longtime work league has led to astonishing kicker scores. We all agreed to the new commish and some rules about loser demands and 2 QBs until we
Starting point is 00:30:26 noticed after week one inflated kicker scores. Not only four points for 40 plus yard kicks made, five points for 50 plus yard kicks made, six points for 60 plus, et cetera, but another scoring category for all the made kick yards added together. Week oneon aubrey scores 55 points several kickers have become their team's best player is there anything we can do how can we get from under this rule commissioner allowed a quick two-day vote and most didn't vote against the new rule this makes it all not fun help us yeah this is an epic disaster from so many angles the first being that he did a two-day vote people weren't interested didn't care third being like i mean who wants to play in a league like this here's the problem with with giving kickers this kind of freedom and this kind of scoring
Starting point is 00:31:15 kickers are not predictable if you look over time they're it's it's this is why we've gotten rid of kickers in a lot of leagues my god adam that mustache when you lean back in the chair it looks even more ridiculous on you. How long do you have to keep this mustache for? I think I'm going to shave it today before I go out in public. Okay, good move. I actually think you should take it out in public. Bring it to your, you have a tennis lesson with it.
Starting point is 00:31:35 Bring it to the tennis pro and see what he thinks. Maybe that'll help your game. He needs everything he can get. Let me tell you that. He needs everything he can get. By the way, start thinking of a line for next year's match. Like what, how many games do you expect to win's everything he can get. By the way, start thinking of a line for next year's match. How many games do you expect to win? What we can expect?
Starting point is 00:31:49 Oh, I muted Dan. I wanted to see how long he would go without realizing it, but he realized it right away. Right away. Good job. What I realized here is that I now have power to mute Adam these days. Yes, you do. Let's go.
Starting point is 00:32:02 Now, listen, for this kicker conundrum here, if nobody voted, I don't really know what you could do. these days. Let's go. Now, listen, for this kicker conundrum here. Yeah. If nobody voted, I don't really know what you could do. I mean, you can think about it. You never play in this league again and you don't look back. You get the people in this league.
Starting point is 00:32:14 You find the ones who are actually serious about fantasy football. None of these people appear to be serious who didn't vote. And you start your own league next year and you recruit. Can I tell you something? Yeah. Well, your take about kickers, one of your worst takes. Why? Let me tell you something. Kickers are so unpredictable.
Starting point is 00:32:28 Listen to that. Oh yeah. I'm sorry. I didn't realize that tight ends and wide receivers and running backs and quarterbacks were so predictable. I didn't realize that JSN had two targets in one week, 16 targets the next week. You know what I didn't realize, Adam? That we drafted Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, and Josh Allen, all those top quarterbacks, the same as we did last year, all those top receivers, the same as we did last year, essentially, with a few exceptions.
Starting point is 00:32:53 So, yes, we're talking about the top of the team. Are you really trying to argue that Kicker's as predictable as quarterback, running back, or what? I just want to make sure before we move forward. I don't know. What is your argument? I've never really tracked it with Kicker. Okay, but we're going to track it.
Starting point is 00:33:04 Somebody in the comments, find this Acer stat him up, rip him apart with an Acer stack, get him at his own game, get him at his own game. I'm just saying every position. First of all, I can't wait after the show to tell Jamie and all the people that,
Starting point is 00:33:14 you know what we're going to do. This is going to be, he's going to put this on Twitter. Adam says kickers are as unpredictable. I didn't say that. I didn't say that. It said other positions are unpredictable too. Kickers are held to a ridiculous standard because people are lazy.
Starting point is 00:33:28 They want to get rid of them. They're not worth keeping in your leagues. All right. Austin from Lakeville, Minnesota is calling out Dan. Listening to last Friday's mailbag, Dan tries to kick a man out of a league for trading Christian McCaffrey. He's on IR. This is why you can't veto trades unless people are just cheating. There should be an audit into Dan's bias and decisions.
Starting point is 00:33:52 His rights as a cop should be suspended. First of all, let me make it clear, just because this guy misstated it a little bit. I did not say kick him out. I said you don't bring him back. You don't welcome him back next year. He is still obviously allowed to play throughout the year. And part of my rule is when you make a trade that's so bad that ruins the competitive balance of the league,
Starting point is 00:34:09 like that trade was, I don't remember what it was. It was McCaffrey, but for somebody not very good. It was Jordan Mason for McCaffrey straight up. Oh, well, that's the case. It doesn't even sound that bad anymore these days. I know. That's what I said last week, I'm pretty sure. I was like, I don't know. I thought you guys overreacted, but then I don't remember exactly what I said last week, I'm pretty sure. I was like, I don't know. I thought you guys overreacted, but
Starting point is 00:34:25 then I don't remember exactly what I said. I don't think it was that. I feel like I wouldn't have said that for that. I don't know. You're out of here, bro. This is funny. Spliff McGriff says Dan should work for me at Miami Dade BD. I don't know if that's a shot at Miami Dade BD. It sounds like it. I have no idea, but I'm the one who has the
Starting point is 00:34:41 cop mustache, so I'm surprised I didn't get that. Alright, next fantasy cop. If we were a cop tandem, Adam, who would be good cop and who would be bad cop? Oh, you would 100% be good cop, right? Good cop? Yeah, you'd be good cop. Good cop? Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:34:53 I thought you were going to go the opposite way. You think you could play bad cop? Better than you, yeah. You don't have it in you. I have it in me. You don't have it in you. You have it in you to be bad cop? I just muted you.
Starting point is 00:35:03 I've embarrassed you. I've called you out like four times on this show for being too wordy. What? I muted you back. What do you want? Okay, just go on. I called you wordy. I made fun of you.
Starting point is 00:35:13 I'm humiliating you for not knowing STP. I am the bad cop here. You bring out the bad cop in me. I would 100% be the bad cop if we were a tandem. Let me tell you that. And I think let's see what the chat thinks. But first of all, the only person who's embarrassed either of us
Starting point is 00:35:28 out of this combo is me when I beat you 6-2-6-0 in tennis. That was the actual embarrassing moment. This is such an important moment in your life. You have brought it up every show we've done. That meant nothing to me. You convinced me. You said on the show the day before,
Starting point is 00:35:43 this is the most important sporting event in my life. Did you not say that? It was, yeah, unfortunately. And I instead spent my time golfing the week before playing. Oh, wrong. You got nervous about it. I played one time. So you played tennis.
Starting point is 00:35:53 One time. And you got a new racket and everything. All right. No, I didn't have a new racket. I used a demo racket. Which is a new racket. This is from Andrew. Hey, Randy, Hunter, Rick, and Batista.
Starting point is 00:36:02 This is from Evolution, apparently. All right, I'm the commissioner of my third-year gym league, and I just made a trade with a manager that isn't into football as much as the rest of us. He isn't very into sports in general, but we bring him back each year because he's a good dude, and he enjoys being a part of the league. I just made a trade with him. I gave up Rashad White, Isaiah Likely, and Christian Watson. All right, Rashad White, Isaiah Likely, and Christian Watson. All right, Rashad White, Isaiah Likely, and Christian Watson
Starting point is 00:36:26 for Bijan Robinson. And the group chat went into an uproar, telling me how this is a horrible trade and they would never let it happen. My thought process was I needed a running back and the manager lost Ferguson, so he gave him Likely. I should also mention that I don't have vetoes on. And this, because I
Starting point is 00:36:45 personally believe no trade should go to a veto with probable cause. Uh, I don't know what he's saying. Um, I would say this trade is a little in my favor, but I don't believe it's a horrible trade. What are your thoughts on it? How can I make everyone happy or as many people happy? It's a horrible trade. Um, look, it gets a little better with christian watson potentially getting jordan love back sooner than we expected um but rashad white's injury really looms right now and makes it really gross especially is going to play he's not even really i don't know like i don't know what his injury has been limited he came back in the game he's been limited in practice i'm not really looking at him as an injured so the way i look at adam is he didn't have't have, this is what I'm saying. He's not like injured bad or anything, but he,
Starting point is 00:37:27 if an injury at all is affecting his play, he didn't really have any room, any ground to give up, right? Because he's been, he was the least effective runner in football last year from an advanced metric standpoint. He's not been effective this year. Bucky Irving has outran him and it's already trending in the direction of this is going to turn into a timeshare. So what value? I mean, White built his value last year solely on volume, right? Let me say this. If this trade had been done after week one,
Starting point is 00:38:00 Isaiah Lively, big game, Rashad White, big game, Christian Watson, right? Like Jordan Love was hurt, but still. That's why I would not veto it because I think it's an overreaction, possibly an overreaction to week two. If Rashad White goes out and has five catches in week three and likely has a good game or something, it's a bad trade. It's not a vetoable trade to me. But as commissioner, and this is what happened in my softball league, I was telling on the air on Thursday, I was going to make a trade, try to get Travis Kelsey. The guy who has Kelsey has never played fantasy before. I'm the commissioner of the league and I'm a fantasy analyst. I just like, no, I'm not making
Starting point is 00:38:35 any trade offers with this guy because people are going to think I'm doing something wrong, ripping him off. As commissioner, I do think you have sort of an unspoken responsibility not to do anything controversial. However, I'm going to let this trade slide. I don't think this commissioner, from what I gathered, is trying to rip somebody, or is trying to embarrass him, or trying to take advantage of him. I think he thinks he won a trade
Starting point is 00:38:57 that's a little lopsided. So I think it's okay. I think it's a bad trade, not a vetoable trade. Okay. I'm fine with that. Yeah, I'm good with it. We're going to take a V-Double trade. Okay. Good with that? I'm fine with that. All right. Yeah, I'm good with it. All right. We're going to take a break. Get your Apple Podcast questions. Get your YouTube questions when we come back on Fantasy Football today.
Starting point is 00:39:15 All right. Welcome back. Apple Podcast is a great way to reach us. You can email us, fantasyfootballatcbsi.com. But if you want an Apple Podcast question read, that's a better way to get your question read on the air. And what you do is you leave a five-star review in Apple podcast. And you tell people why you like the show and you ask us a question. You should get those in maybe on Tuesday because they take a little while to populate.
Starting point is 00:39:37 And you should not ask questions that involve Thursday night players because I always read these on Friday. And you'll hear them on Saturday. All right. And we got a one-star review. Oh, no, no, no. We got a one star review because because I said the gin blossoms were better than the meat puppets. No, no, no, no, no. Don't you ever one star review us again. Let me tell you, if Adam sent off pod, show me who a one star review does. I'll handle Booganish 22anish22, his thing was Meat Puppets Rule, one-star review,
Starting point is 00:40:07 and they said Gin Blossoms suck. Don't ever one-star review us again. I'm going to be clear about that, okay? I hate one-star reviews. When I see them on my podcast, see, this is the type of action you'll see from a bad cop, Adam.
Starting point is 00:40:18 You are just like, please don't one-star review us again. Don't ever do it. You got to be firmer with it. Okay, thanks. I appreciate that. All right. You got to be firmer with it. Okay. Thanks. I appreciate that. All right. From you dog 41, 12 team PPR super flex redraft trade, Derek Carr and George Pickens for Garrett Wilson, Derek Carr and George Pickens for Garrett Wilson. Yeah. I think it's a good sell.
Starting point is 00:40:39 I think it's a good spot to sell those two. I think George Pickens is on the, is on the cusp. That's the thing. He's had really difficult matchups and he's been really close. He's had a few big plays call back due to penalty, all things you want to see. But Garrett Wilson, man, if he, if they ever don't put it at some point, they're not going to play too high role coverage over the top of him because Roger's not going to allow that. And Roger's going to do so many things elsewhere. They're going to have to shift coverages and he's going to start to really,
Starting point is 00:41:02 really put together some big games. So I would take Garrett Wilson. All right. This is from, I mean, it is a super flexing. You understand that, right? He's giving up Derek. I assume that you have the quarterback depth to trade Derek Carr. Do you likely drafted Derek Carr as a QB three if you're in a super flex?
Starting point is 00:41:16 Okay. How about the real big blue 26? Before that, somebody saying Bronx Bomber said Dan has evolved from a fantasy cop to a fantasy mafia member. This is maybe the nicest thing anyone said about me on the show, Bronx Bomber, because if you've heard me before, you said my best friend Steve Milano used to tell me, I grew up wanting to be Italian. It's true.
Starting point is 00:41:35 I'm the biggest wannabe Italian you'll ever find. Just makes me feel good. That is true. Big wannabe. The real Big Blue 26. Wannabe a lot of things. Dear Greg, Lisa, Chase, big wannabe. I had the real big 26. I want to be a lot of things. Dear Greg, Lisa, Chase, and 13.
Starting point is 00:41:48 I can't believe I didn't get this. Chase and 13. Yeah. I can't believe I didn't get this. This is house. I don't know if you ever saw that show with Hugh Laurie. Very good show. Is it?
Starting point is 00:41:58 Yeah, it is. I'm two and oh, and I just traded my Tony Pollard for Christian McCaffrey. What do you think? Yeah, I like it. You're, you're going to hopefully be able to get through to the point where you have enough wins. Let me tell you who he has. He has Brees Hall, Travis Etienne, J.K. Dobbins, Jordan Mason, and now he has Christian McCaffrey. Obviously, this is an easy trade. What a great. And you know what? If you have Jordan
Starting point is 00:42:21 Mason and two other good running backs or three other good run, like if you have jordan mason and two other good running backs uh or three other good right like if you have jordan mason and running back depth trade a running back like a tony pollard for christian mcafree that's the right that's the exact person who should be targeting christian mcafree our our top two four two oh and two i have tyree kill olave rishi rice sam laporta cj I have Tyreek Hill, Olave, Rasheed Rice, Sam Laporta, CJ Stroud, but bad running backs. Should I try to trade for a better running back? He does have Jonathan Brooks, but he has bad running backs and Nick Chubb. Yeah, I mean, you're banking on those two at some point giving you value, but you need help now. I guess so, but try not to lose too much value.
Starting point is 00:43:03 These questions are a little tough. I always feel like they're a little trickier to answer, Adam. They're way too open-ended. No, I mean, I get it. I think, look, you don't want to sell Tyreek or Olave right now. I think you're selling low. You can sell Rasheed Rice, but it's got to be for a top four running back. I think Rasheed Rice is like a borderline first round pick value right now in a PPR league.
Starting point is 00:43:25 Right. So if you can trade Rasheed Rice, I don't even know if I'd trade him for Jonathan Taylor in full PPR. And this is a full PPR league. I'd trade him for Barkley. I don't know if anyone's going to do that. I'm not really sure what your trade is.
Starting point is 00:43:37 Maybe Olave for Taylor. Could try that. All right. This is from Scotty boops. Dear Gordy, Chris, Teddy, and Vern.
Starting point is 00:43:51 Come on, Vern. Oh, Gordy, Chris, Teddy, and Vern, uh,
Starting point is 00:43:56 Vern Lundquist. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do,
Starting point is 00:44:01 do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do,
Starting point is 00:44:03 do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do,
Starting point is 00:44:03 do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do,
Starting point is 00:44:03 do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do,
Starting point is 00:44:04 do, do, do, do, do, do, do, Do you ever seen that movie? Can you believe I just pulled that off with just a little do do do do do do do do do actually yeah it's one of the most Oh, Stand By Me? Yeah. You ever seen that movie?
Starting point is 00:44:08 Can you believe I just pulled that off with just a little do-do-do-do-do-do-do? Actually, yeah. It's one of the most famous do-do-do-do's in the world. I can. That would be Stand By Me. You ever seen the movie? I have seen Stand By Me. Great movie.
Starting point is 00:44:18 That's a surprise. Yeah, I've seen like some movies in my life. I'm shocked right now. I was born in 1989. That movie came out before I was born. Why would I have seen that? Yeah, I don't know. PBR Dynasty League.
Starting point is 00:44:31 I'm looking so high on Alvin Kamara. I want either, look at this, I want either Brees Hall and Zay Flowers. What? Or David Montgomery
Starting point is 00:44:39 and Nico Collins. Good luck. I want, you know what I want? I want to shoot under 70, under 80 in golf. It's not happening
Starting point is 00:44:46 anytime soon. Yeah, the Brees Hall Zay Flowers one is crazy because I would take Hall straight up for Camara. Montgomery and Nico Collins, I suppose,
Starting point is 00:44:54 is worth an ask. And this is from BK Cards. If a trade is accepted on Saturday and no players involved played on Thursday, should a commissioner push the trade through this week?
Starting point is 00:45:08 Hell yes. I'm always a big fan of this. I don't like to wait until the next week. I am so hungry right now. I'm having stomach pains. What happened? I have to go on HQ in 20 minutes. Why are you so hungry? It's like 11.49 a.m. I haven't eaten. I've been up since
Starting point is 00:45:23 6.30 and I haven't eaten anything except half a eat at this time intermittent fast every day you don't get you don't get up you don't wake up at 6 30 give me a break uh no i don't wake up at 6 30 but i'm waking up earlier than ever these days um and for me at least and i don't eat until like three or four every day you should try intermittent fasting it really is a great way to not just like lose weight, but feel better. It gives you mental clarity. I didn't know. All right. Don't do it then. Yeah. I'll do that on Yom Kippur. Start at three, Derek Henry, Brian Robinson, Jr. Jordan Mason, or JSN. We have to sit one of these guys. I'm not going to lie to you, Adam, before I answer this question. I, my initial feel is that you're one of the people who like says you're Adam, before I answer this question. My initial feel is that you're one of the people who says you fasted on Yom Kippur and really lied about it and ate some
Starting point is 00:46:09 stuff or broke some rules and stuff. That's just my feel. You can prove me wrong one day, but that's my feel. How am I going to prove you wrong? You're going to come over for 24 hours and watch me? I fast. Talk to your wife. We're friends now. Yeah, you, it's true. Derek Henry, Brian Robinson, Jordan Mason, JSN. I'm sitting JSN. Um,
Starting point is 00:46:29 Ooh, the cool. I'm, I'm sitting, I'm sitting Brian Robinson, Fryer, Muth, or Gacicki rest of season.
Starting point is 00:46:39 Oh man, I might take a sickie. I really, I'm youth with the hope that Russell Wilson takes over. Because I don't think either of them are going to be good. But if Russell Wilson takes over Friar Muth, who plays a lot, he's just not getting targets because Fields doesn't throw. So the upside play to me is Friar Muth.
Starting point is 00:46:59 There's going to be no throwing no matter who's playing, I don't think, with Arthur Smith as the play caller. But that's just my take. Grade the trade. Josh Jacobs and Tank Dell for A.J. Brown. I don't think with Arthur Smith as the play caller, but that's just my take. Great. The trade Josh Jacobs and tank Dell for AJ Brown. I don't like it at all. Yeah. I like Jacobs and Dell a little bit better. Me too. I don't want to trade for an injured AJ Brown. A, uh, B, I really like Josh Jacobs rest of season. AJ Brown, by the way, has not been ruled out for week three. Seems unlikely, but yeah. Do I trade Amon Ross brown for christian mccaffrey no way
Starting point is 00:47:25 no but i would consider a trade involving that if you can get a little bit back with mccaffrey yeah you could try that uh do i really sit tyreek hill i have rice iuk marvin harrison and hill and i need to sit one i i would so i'm just gonna be be honest. I would. Yeah. You know what? I would probably rank him ahead of everyone, but I, you everyone, but rice, like I would go rice Hill.
Starting point is 00:47:52 I, you Harrison, but then I, then again, I, I, I don't know. I think he's going to get double digit targets. So I trust Tyree kill.
Starting point is 00:47:59 Do something with it. Yeah. I got to see it from, from Skylar. I'm willing to change my take on it once skyler i see some some tape but right now it just feels like it could easily be one of these games where we're seeing like 130 to 170 passing yards total i also think if george kittle plays i'm probably gonna sit iuk but if george kittle doesn't play okay fine with you sitting tyreek um
Starting point is 00:48:23 heat is a low-key elite movie i have heard heat is good i've never seen heat it's very good i wouldn't call it elite but it's very good okay uh 12 team full ppr flex pollard kyron jameson williams shaheed or brian thomas well Ryan Thomas. Wow. Got to get this wrong. PPR. It's full PPR. So like Pollard feels like the move, but it's full PPR.
Starting point is 00:48:50 I'm going to get this wrong. I'm sure, but I'm going to go with Kyron Williams. Oh my God. I wasn't even considering. I was going to ask on my list for targets in the second half without Cooper cup. It does help. He will get some volume there.
Starting point is 00:49:03 I can't see that offense moving the football, though, with their injuries, especially the two on the O-line. Give me Shahid. Jamison Williams. I haven't been able to say this. I keep forgetting, but one of the things I love
Starting point is 00:49:16 about Rashid Shahid is I've always had trouble remembering how to spell his name, but he always reminds me I before E. It's the I in Rashid. Except after C. Except after C, of course.
Starting point is 00:49:28 Would you trade DJ Moore for Travis Kelsey? I would. I think so. I think I would. Adam is hangry. Makes sense why he's being mean to Dan. Not true, Pradeep. He's always mean to me
Starting point is 00:49:45 i'm gonna say another mean thing i'm not in love with long sleeve shirts that have the the type of like the two buttons this is not a long sleeve shirt oh it's not okay yeah okay never mind i thought it was long sleeve actually you know know what? I have a couple of shirts that are exactly like what I'm saying. They're good. Never mind. Nothing could beat that Spock shirt you put on the other day. And you literally went to a store, thought that looked good, and picked it out. That's
Starting point is 00:50:15 unbelievable. That that wasn't a gift is unbelievable. JSN, Pollard, or Montgomery in PPR? Oh, PPR. JSN Pollard or Montgomery in PPR? OBBR, JSN me. Wow. I don't know. The contrast between the two games of week one and two,
Starting point is 00:50:35 I'm going to go with Montgomery here, just ahead of Tony Pollard. Pollard getting Green Bay, but Spears is going to play. Yeah, it's tough. Cam Akers or Jalen Waddle? This is so gross that we've gotten to this point. Well, has Mixon been ruled out yet?
Starting point is 00:50:54 No. I don't think so, right? Yeah. But I'm expecting him to be out, and I'm going to go Akers. Oh, half PPR. This is rough. This is just rough stuff right here.
Starting point is 00:51:06 I'm going to go waddle. I'm going to go acres, but kitchen toothbrush, by the way, is the name here. I love that. That's awesome. Did you say, by the way, you would have taken waddle for Shahid, right? I did say that, but then I kind of thought twice. If you told me that two was coming back in five weeks, then yeah, I would take waddle. Oh, that's easy then, but who knows if that's going happen adam versus dan putt putt yeah i know i'm so that
Starting point is 00:51:30 gives you a shot i'm so bad at putt putt uh really how much fab for jordan love wait what is putt putt just mini golf what is putt putt yeah mini golf yeah okay okay uh how much fab for jordan love if i have jaden Daniels? Not much. I think Jaden Daniels is fair to start rest of season. There's going to be some games like the last one, but he'll get in the end zone a good amount. Yeah, I'd go like 17% and I probably wouldn't get him.
Starting point is 00:51:56 17%? If I had Jaden Daniels. If I didn't have Jaden Daniels, I'd go like 50% on Jordan Love. Yeah, but with Jaden Daniels in a one QB league, what's the point? Because Jaden Daniels is playing horribly. What? He can't throw the ball. He can't complete a pass downfield.
Starting point is 00:52:17 His air yards per completion is less than three yards. I don't think that's a Jaden Daniels stat, but I respect it. I think it's a Jaden Daniels stat. Like Caleb Williams. He gets a 15-3 stat. You can blame the coaches all you want. These quarterbacks are throwing very inaccurate, terrible balls downfield. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:52:31 I mean, I just watched the tape. I feel like he hit Zach Ertz on the sale route. Pretty decent throw there. Caleb Williams. Air yards. Throws of 10 or more air yards. He is 4 of 18. I know what the stats are going to say, Adam.
Starting point is 00:52:42 With two interceptions and a 33% off target rate. Caleb Williams and Jaden Danos are throwing the ball very poorly. Okay. Caleb, I'll agree with you. Jaden, I think, is just Cliff Kingsbury just designing his horizontal offense the way he designs his horizontal offense. All right, one more question. Akers or Deontay Foreman this week?
Starting point is 00:53:02 Ugh, Akers. Yeah, I'd go Akers. How can you justify giving Deontay Foreman the ball? Ugh, Akers. Yeah, I'd go Akers. How can you justify giving Deontay Foreman the ball over Jerome Ford at this point? I don't know, but that seems to be what they're doing. In one week. Foreman didn't have a touch in week one. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:53:14 All right. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Are you making fun of that? No, that's from Family Guy. Mm-hmm. Oh, the Stewie.
Starting point is 00:53:21 Mm-hmm. I actually know that. No, no. Nope. That was a gumble to gumble. Mm-hmm. Yeah, so I don't really know it, and I that was a gumball gumball to gumball yeah so i don't really know it and i don't make the take that i'm gonna make family guy not a clever show not it was a clever show first i don't know i mean look the south park episode with the manatee really unraveled the humor in a lot of ways and it's hard to come back
Starting point is 00:53:42 from that they depicted it it's, they just hit three things, hit three random references, and put them together. That's not funny. The first few seasons are as good as it gets. It is so funny. Then it became... It's outrageous shock humor,
Starting point is 00:53:55 and it can be funny. I laughed at it. It's just not clever. I didn't say it's not funny. He's wrong. It's funny. It's not clever. It was very clever.
Starting point is 00:54:01 It was very clever. I guess, but again, Manatee hits three balls. Back in 1929 at Pepperidge Farms, I did this. It's very clever. It was very clever. I guess. But again, you just, Manatee hits three balls. Back in 1929 at Pepperidge Farms, I did this. Like, it's not like. That's not the whole show. No, you're wrong about this. This is another bad take from you.
Starting point is 00:54:14 I don't know about that one. Family Guy went from being one of the best shows to one of the worst shows. It got so bad. And that's it for Fantasy Football today. I'm going to play us out with some Fantasy Cops music. Parks and Rec is better than The Office. I'm going to play us out with some fantasy cops music. Parks and Rec is better than The Office. Parks and Rec better than The Office, also a bad call, but not terrible. Parks and Rec is terrific.
Starting point is 00:54:33 To Dan Schneier, I'm Adam Azer. Good luck this week, everybody. We'll talk to you Sunday morning, 1130 a.m. YouTube.com slash fantasy football today. See ya.
