Week 6 Mailbag Q&A! Start/Sit, Waivers & Questions Answered! (10/17 Fantasy Football Podcast)

This is Fantasy Football Today from CBS Sports. What a play! Can you believe this? It's a no-like game. 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! Everybody's three favorite words on a Friday. Or a Saturday. Mailbag's one word, right? Yeah, just double-checking. Welcome to the show, everybody. Adam, Dan, and Jamie here. I've been told there's going to be a lot of nonsense on today's show. Don't blame me, but blame Dan. Dan's bringing the nonsense. Well, it's not all originated from me. I have a story I need to get to from Jamie that we're saving for the mailbag. It's been on my mind for like 48 hours now. It really has. It's that good of a story? What'd you say? I don't know. I'm about to find out. It's something I think that could only happen in the state that you were born in and the state that you've fled since. Yeah, I was born in New York, bud. Oh, wow. The state that you grew up in. The state I grew up in was Florida, yes. All right, today on the show— We have a movie question for Dan, too. Oh, we do have a movie question. We'll get to that in a second. I want to hear it, yeah. All right, so YouTube comments, emails at fantasyfootballatcbsi.com. The Fantasy Cops are, of course, here today. Apple podcast question. You know, we got a bad review on Apple, and here's what happened. Don't like those. Someone said, I'm rescinding my five-star review because they didn't answer my question. That left a five-star review. They didn't answer it. I'm not lying to you. Apple podcast, it just, for whatever reason, the comments— I know—I have two comments from this week. I know more than that exist. They just don't show up consistently. Sometimes I see comments. Next time I check, they're not there. I didn't intentionally skip your question, so— There's no intentional skipping going on on this show. Not on Apple. It's an Apple podcast. If you leave a five-star review and I see it, and it's like a relevant question, I will read it. It's just—it's a kind of a finicky app, I guess. It's just—it's good for listening to shows, but for the comments, it's a little— I'm not going to go too much further into detail, though, but I will say this. If you're the type of person that leaves a five-star review, then rescinds it and leaves a one because you didn't get your question asked on a show where we're answering a lot of questions. That's—it's something. It's something. All right. Let's get to some YouTube comments to start the show. And we'll start with this from VomitDuty. Okay. Wow. That's what you did before the show, right, Adam? Nope. I was restarting my computer to fix it. Dude, your eye looks good, Adam. Eye's healing, huh? Thank you. Yeah, it's almost—almost— Good. Almost good now. Starter, one wide receiver, one running back, and one flex. Braylon Allen, Quinshawn Judkins, Ramondre Stevenson, Luther Burden, Jeremy Bernard, and Denzel Boston. I think the running back and the flex are easy. Well, the running back is— Well, running back's Ramondre, right? Ramondre, Ramondre, Ramondre. And Allen is the flex. And then Allen, for sure, with the workload. And then I think I would go with Luther Burden, personally. I would, too. Okay. So that would make Quinshawn Judkins the vomit and Jeremy Bernard the duty in this one. I guess so. The receivers are tough. I think just the workload for Ramondre, even with Henderson potentially playing, and Braylon Allen makes it, to me, easy. And then pick your favorite receiver. Dan, how much butter do you have in your coffee? We went away from the butter in the coffee about a year ago. But I use the French press. That's a big French press kind of guy. But now my new thing is a pinch of Redmond sea salt in each brew of coffee. And I think it makes a huge difference. Cuts a lot of the bitterness out. One of my coffee friend snobs, shout out Brett Childs, really disgusted with me because I get good coffee. I buy good coffee. He's like, why are you buying good coffee and putting salt in it? I'm like, it's a pinch of salt. Try it before you're not. Knock it. Back in the day, you were convincing us that putting butter in your coffee was the right thing to do. It was not bad for you. It was great. Yeah, it sped up your metabolism. It's just fat. You're not putting any carbs in. It's actually not that bad for you. Yeah, but probably it was horrible for me at the same time, and I didn't know. All right, Uncle Palacios says, I can't get right with RJ Harvey. Bench him, 10 plus points. Start him less than one point. Yeah, that's the Harvey experience, this year at least. I think generally speaking, you should be benching him, though. Yeah. I mean, look. He's not going to get a touchdown every week. Yeah, the touchdown was fluky. Would you trade Chase Brown for Michael Wilson and Marshawn Lloyd? I have Walker and Tootin, and I need them now. No way. No. Not even considering this one. Oh, Dan's family is here today. Dan is everyone's favorite. Oh, thank you, Truly Epic. I believe Truly Epic is the one that thought that you would be smarter than. Is that right? Yes. I mean, Adam, let's be honest. Adam's going to beat me in an IQ test, I think. I don't think so. Adam is just that kind of guy. This is his. This is his type of test. We're going to do it next Friday. I'm going to set up a 10-question IQ test for the two of you. I find myself to be somewhat quick-witted, no street smarts, and negative street smarts. And as far as IQ tests, I just don't know. Adam's the type of guy who got the 1,500 on his SAT. Oh, I didn't get a 1,500. You know, he studied all day. He did all his homework. He told the people in class, like, Robert over there didn't do his homework. He was that. I was not like that at all. Adam was a rat? I copied a lot of homework. I did some things that I regret. You didn't copy homework ever in your life. I did. You did not copy a homework ever in your life. I know that for a fact. You'd be a Chad GPT guy? Yeah, I would. And that's sad. Because, yeah, you know, I just didn't like school. I didn't like learning. I just, I shortchanged myself. And I really regret it. Same. I really regret it. I feel like all of that's just the kid's experience. Like, we all did the same thing. And then now that we're older and our brains have developed, we're like, oh, I'm going to do this. I'm going to do this. And then now that we're older and our brains have developed, we're like, damn, I would have enjoyed learning about that stuff. That's true, right? We should Billy Madison it. Go back to school. Trade. I would Billy Madison. Jalen Coker and Omarion Hampton for DeAndre Swift? That's an interesting offer. I think I would do that one. I think it just depends if you have the receivers to cover yourself. Because Hampton is, you're getting an upgrade at running back with Swift over Hampton. But you're losing a pretty good receiver in Coker. This feels like a breaking point, too, for as far as, like, when you can trade. You can trade Hampton and what you could get back for him. I tried trading him the last two weeks. Its value has only gone down since. That's what I'm saying. It's going down and down. But we're almost at the point of crater. Like, if you could even get a Swift type back for him, that's good. We're getting, we're nearing the point of, like, you're getting nothing back for this guy. If these guys were the Three Stooges, who's who? I don't know the Three Stooges. Dan is definitely curly. Yeah? I don't know if I like that, but I'm taking it. He's the goofball. Dan's 100% curly. I agree. Sam, how do you? You know who the Three Stooges are. I would be Mo. Everybody knows the Three Stooges. Adam would be Larry. Larry's the leader, right? No, Mo's the leader. Mo's the leader? Oh, damn it. Damien Pierce or Blake Corham? I'd be the one that smacks the two of you around, though. That's the stuff. That sounds about right. Blake Corham or Damien Pierce? I'd go Pierce. Ugh. Touch it. It's going to be a volume game. I know that Pierce has the volume, so we should be going with him because of that. I think Corham has a better chance of actually scoring. I would go Corham. Dave is definitely Shemp. I don't really get that. Like, I know there's a Shemp. I don't even know who Shemp is. He's the fourth Stooge. I thought there were three Stooges. Yeah. How could there be a fourth? It's called the Three Stooges. That's the youngest guy on the podcast who apparently knows the Three Stooges very well. Shocked. Would you trade Kenneth Walker and Devontae Smith for CeeDee Lamb, Bucky Irving, and Carnell Tate? No. Only if, like, you'd have to guarantee that Jalen Hurts is going to miss the rest of the season and Devontae Smith is going to struggle with this injury. That's the only way I would do that. I guess that's true. If a toe injury, it's like you're trading an injured guy. I just, CeeDee and Bucky, it's interesting. I like Tate. It's not the worst trade offer. I just don't feel like if I drafted Kenneth Walker, I'm seeing it out for the rest of the season. I'm seeing if he can win me. It's basically like when you look at trades like that with different positions, like Walker and CeeDee Lamb are on. If they're on par, I would take Walker over Lamb. And Smith and Bucky Irving are on par. I would take Smith. So that's the way I view it. Yeah. That's a good way to view it. And I think Walker's the best by far. I can't commit to saying I'd take Smith over Bucky, though. I can't either. But I'm just saying, like, that's how I view it right now. True. Half PPR, Omari and Hampton, Kendri Miller, Tyler Algier. If nobody is out in their respective backfields, I'll take Hampton still. But if there's no Jeremiah Love, I'll take Tyler Algier. I think it's Algier. If Kamara's out, and he was limited practice, I think, yesterday, I would go Kendri also over Hampton if Kamara's out. Agreed. Neighbors for Kyron Williams. No. Yes. I'd rather have Kyron. Oh, you'd rather have Kyron. Yeah. I would definitely rather have neighbors than any kind of PPR. I love that picture. You know where that picture is from, Adam? I love that picture, too. Yes, I do. You do know what it's from? I don't even want to be here anymore. It's so good. It's such a funny concept. Don't take it off. Don't take it off. I'm taking it off. For him to be like, I'm going to do this funny disguise, and it's bad. It's too much. If they were the three amigos, who would they be? I don't know that either. Yeah, not surprised. Dan and Martin Short. No, I think- I would love to be Martin Short. I think Dan is Chevy Chase. He's like the- I don't know if I love that. He's really kind of off in his own world. Oh, yeah. That's cool. True. I think I am Martin Short. I'm making the ridiculous jokes. I think it's a male plane, and then I won't say the punchline and you're steve martin yeah that's a great movie all right and the movie that we want to know if you've seen and we both said we both have the same answer okay that doesn't give us a buck but let's see what happens rush hour somehow no i should really should have did you say yes or no we said no well said no i really should have seen rush hour it's crazy how i haven't seen rush hour i know i'd like it it's fine that's the that's the one with jackie or it's not that good like you're overrating it it's not like a timeless classic or what's his who's that who's chris who are the actors chris tucker it was adam made a mistake earlier this week and put trey tucker as sean tucker in his notes and oh that he was injured so i made a joke about it this morning and adam said or dave said chris tucker because dave didn't know the reference and then adam made a chris tucker joke and then said has dan seen was you said or somebody said in the chat i thought i don't i didn't say as dancing i think somebody said in the chat i really should see it i really and then adam weaseled out of what should have been the bet when i said no first that you hadn't seen it usually adam answers first and i counter and i just for fun you know but adam goes no no i don't have to agree with you it's gotta be all right so here's what we need to find out this is not related but i'm curious now that i've seen rocky that was the big one i had to see yeah what's the next movie and it's not just adam's pick it's between you two braveheart i guess i just said it's not just adam's pick it's between what you two decide the next movie i don't know the entire entire list of things you have not seen that's just assume i haven't seen anything essentially except for the really good movies in my opinion um major league i've never seen a superhero guy are you sure i want it i've seen i've actually saw the marvel all the marvel ones okay star wars i've seen all this the good star wars i haven't seen like the one through three i saw like a i once watched this like two hour cut up of just the scenes you need to watch from the from the bad one through three movies i didn't finish the original trilogy and like the crappy ones with like you know what i'm talking about you definitely finished the word i mean i didn't finish the word actually i cut it off sam you said the curse word part of it you gotta be on my team here okay i have to edit it so no i'm not on your team respect all respect to sam right there but yeah so no star wars because i've basically seen the good ones what else all right we should get back to fantasy football over here but okay let's get back to fantasy football it's my favorite movie all right let's go to um rogers or shuck rogers uh he didn't say the t at the end yeah like that see thank you frank um uh bruce hall and adni mitchell ruled out yeah i saw that rishi rice or cam scataboo if rice plays rice for me if he plays winston daniel jones or deshaun watson winston winston for me too he's the top 12 for me this week uh odunze dk boston or abuka sit one oh abuka's the sit would you beat the waiver wire for omar cooper jr you can snatch him in an ir spot still so yeah i think adonai mitchell's the better get than him yeah yes okay all right that's it for uh youtube for now we'll come back to those later sunday morning youtube.com slash fantasy football today we'll have plenty of your questions there at 8 30 a.m to 9 30 a.m and then 12 30 to 1 not 12 to 1 this week this week it's just 12 30 to 1 p.m eastern to get you ready join us at youtube.com slash fantasy football today we'll give you the news and notes as they unfold and we'll start with our emails now at fantasy football at cbsi.com and this is from andrew grade the trade george pickens george pickens no george pickens and blake quorum giving those guys up pickens and quorum for chase brown and coker i don't mind the trade what'd you say jamie i'd rather have the coker side so it's pickens and yeah you get coker and chase brown on that side i think i'd rather that side as well it's obviously like this is the the breaking point with chase brown right you're going into the bye week you have to decide right now put your foot in the dirt is this going to be a thing now with samaj ap ryan taking this amount of work that we got last week or is that just a game and fluky game script if the ladder hits and it's fluky game script brown to me is still one of the better buys like he was two weeks ago because the touchdowns are going to run hotter than they have and there will be games where the receptions are up like we saw two weeks ago so i'm willing to take that bet if all i'm giving up is pickens who's not going to be the most consistent player either in my opinion all right this is from nick who's had the better points per game pickens or coker after last week maybe pickens oh coker or brown i would i mean that's the receivers you're training i would say coker i guess i don't know because he left early yeah he did uh oh yeah actually i'd say pickens but pickens had a bad week four but the fact that that tells you why you should be making this trade uh from nick half ppr redraft league which running back do i trust in week six omari and hampton marshawn lloyd or tyler algier if jeremiah love does not play i'd still go lloyd i think i'd go algier algier for me if if love is out lloyd is very tempting though but not hampton uh this is a trade from angelo davante adams and giovante williams okay giving up adams and giovante get tootin and christian watson i'd rather have the adams i'd definitely rather have the adams giovante you know on paper i i agree with that but heath really opened my eyes about giovante's schedule it is really bad late in the year what is it how could it be like i i'm curious how this is this may sound ridiculous but i don't really see any team slowing down the cowboys offense he's not running that well it doesn't matter he just gets the touchdowns it's the same everything i understand that but like you know injuries he could oh yeah with the defense being a i don't it's not even like it's if someone could slow down this dallas offense and if someone could tell me the dallas defense is going to step up so there'll be different game scripts then like last night's seattle broncos game for example if we could get those then i'm like all right i'm worried about jvante here's but until then he's just here it is seattle week 13 a buy-in week 14 yeah rams in week 15 jaguars in week 16 and then a good matchup in week 17 against the giants so just just start with the first game that you you brought up the broncos just got two rushing touchdowns from their running back i know but they didn't run the ball well i mean that's not what javante does he doesn't run the ball well he just gets touchdowns on the best off matchup it's still it's a it's a very bad matchup but it's also a bad matchup on the other side like you're giving you got to be the it's not a bad idea to sell high on players when you look at a schedule like that i think it's a bad idea to sell high on players when you look at i totally understand the concept but you have to be getting an overwhelmingly great offer and i don't think that's the case well you're getting agreed on that i think you're getting a better wide receiver in watson over adams i'd rather have watson than adams yeah but you brought this up i don't remember recently but puka's playing with a pre-hernia situation if puka goes down who would you rather have oh gosh yeah adams so right but also it's just like you're trading two of the most consistent touchdown scores over the last 20 something games everyone could say oh it's luck it's the touchdowns are going to regress they don't regress adams can't be guarded one-on-one with his release package off the line of scrimmage in the red zone he scores all the time and javante williams scores he's on the best offense he just scores there's no one else taking those red zone touches he scores all the time as well all right so i just feel like these guys are the ones scoring points the other guys are projected points i hear you mo i hear you all right we're gonna take a break here we'll be right back with

football today emails at fantasy football at cbsi.com that is the letter i stefan is in a redraft league and he has bowers and craft but he can't get much for craft should i trade tucker craft for omari and hampton or try to trade bowers for a hall keep bowers i would not trade bowers um i don't think i mean i don't like hampton i probably i don't like him then i don't like craft that much either though i like craft i like craft better than hampton but it's not such a bad trade if you have bowers i would wait till after this week and see if craft goes off that's true i would trade i would be fine trading craft for hampton right now now to i agree with dan i'd much rather keep brock bowers if you can but like if the hall is a hall then you explore the hall would have to include a top tier player from running back or wide receiver yeah here's a question from eric eric says you definitely have to get the nose hair trimmers that you stick up your nose way better than the scissors with the curve okay okay all right it's a no that's a conversation from last week this is from i remember wesley started the seahawks defense and emmanuel wilson they got me eight points should i start jayden daniels or tyler shuck does my deficit impact who i start no you should not start one over the other unless you have extreme conviction and i think in the case they're both close for me um i don't know i would go with daniels i would go with jayden for sure this is from michael if you had to trade nico collins parker washington or george pickens for a running back which one are you moving and uh which one what are you moving on from based on what you think the rest of the season is gonna be okay who's the best one nico i'd say nico are you getting the same running back in return so like it doesn't matter what what the compensation is yeah i think so maybe no i don't i mean i don't think so that's the case if it's just moving on for that you're you're getting james cook yes in the trade no matter what it's george pickens pickens all right no concerns about nico with marvin harrison and tank dell not with the players coming back my nico concern is always just limited to him and the injuries that he's played through in his career but that's not something i can project or predict this is from patrick rank them for week six denzel boss boston damian pierce kendray miller jacory kroski merit uh boston miller if there's no camara bill next for me at least i go pierce bill miller if everybody's healthy i don't feel good about this pierce start at all he may get like 12 carries but i don't think they're going for and much he's not gonna get receiving work about a jacory kroski merit start these are i feel about better about anything than tanner mckee and a bad beat up offensive line and a running back who doesn't do anything in the passing game that to me is just like a dead start and that's kind of yeah i know you could you could argue that for some of the other ones but it's like a true dead start unless he gets a rushing touchdown that's jacory kroski merit though i mean he doesn't get that many no but jacory kroski merit broke a 35 yard touchdown run damian pierce is not doing that one of the worst run defenses in football the niners have a really good run defense i'm not saying he'll do it again but at least he has to at least he has the skill set to do it yeah i mean that is that is definitely true i can't really fight you on that jacory kroski merit unfortunately he has three games with seven or fewer fantasy points in pp yeah it's they're they're pretty much all awful plays except boston but you're just looking for the least awful this is from jake ppr four point per passing touchdown all right we'll go real quick on this rogers or stroud i go stroud it's close for me but i'd go stroud tampas defense is playing better than they have in a while jacoby brissett or jayden daniels jayden by far kendrick bourne or lad mcconkey a lot of people just based on upside from tyler should i trade parker washington cam scataboo and tony pollard okay parker washington scataboo and pollard for amon ross st brown in a 10 team half ppr league yes it's not as cut and dry for me that really depends on where you're at but it's not as cut and dry for me it's not as cut and dry for me it's not as cut and dry i think with um at running back specifically like if you can afford to do this mcafree and remandre okay 10 team league you want stars and that's a star but if it's oh he said 10 team i mean he's got parker watch you are giving up what i that's the only reason i'm considering because i believe parker is a star too but he's not really a mon ross and brown level star so i'm okay with it who do you think scored more fantasy points so far it might be parker total yeah it might be they both had at least one bad game it is it might not be them yeah the the thursday night st brown game just put him over the top he had like 37 or whatever all right from charlie i got offered trey mcbride and tetero mcmillan for puka nakua so give up puka get mcbride and tet interesting 10 team league and he has bad tight ends that's interesting it's a relatively fair deal it's pbr it's less interesting to me because puka is just getting spam targets and i am a little worried i don't know if you guys are i am a little worried about last week where without marvin harris and i know everyone's gonna laugh at it like what has he done it means nothing he's still lining up on the outside drawing attention without marvin harrison they just double team trey mcbride all game after the game jacoby brissett talked about it he's like yeah mcbride was pissed he's like get me the boys i'm not gonna get you the ball like they're looking at the screen the tablet on silent like your dog and so i am a little bit worried teams are just going to use that strategy against the cardinals because they really didn't move the ball at all through the air after they took away trey mcbride there was like michael wilson great player but he wasn't defining that passing game last week but maybe no they just sat on everything and it was yeah you know the shell coverage works um i probably still keep puka i think i might keep puka based on that all right it's also you're you're you're buying ted off a monstrous game that coker didn't play it's true that's awesome sure from shane for my second running back should i go with jaleel mclaughlin or brian robinson jr mclaughlin i think uh mclaughlin and dacre shuck dac dac lance from phoenix unless his name is lance phoenix which would be a very cool name this is very what very cool name oh that would be pretty cool yeah i know we got a new quarterback in philly we do we have it's not mckee joe milton joe milton joe milton is no they signed him you signed him yeah he's not starting somebody jamie loves to give a fake headline it's a fake headline that was such a fake headline such a veteran in the game yeah that's fake he got us all worked out i was like oh they're not going to be able to do that they're not going to be able to do that starting mckee how is that how is that a fake headline you made it seem like we're getting i said they have a new quarterback i know you didn't say it technically but adam and i adam and i went there immediately as probably did after the audience at least cousins or winston from lance phoenix winston for me uh cousins for me cousins for me by the way dan i made giant saints the game of the week no i did because you're joking dave dave i have a new strategy for packers uh packers cowboys so i was like what's the second best game this horror is a horrible week it's a bad week but it can't be giant saints could it well because he also then he he panic pivoted and instead of just using an afc game which he could have he used some he just looked at his notes and went straight i think texans jaguars would have been that but i so i didn't i think what you got to do is because he's on to you clearly um is right out of the gate because he doesn't he's not gonna expect it like the first or second question yeah i could also do it on on tuesday or wednesday you know i gotta i gotta really make him guess all right uh from from alan he says dear jordan aaron and brett these are all packers quarterbacks obviously yes they are i need two receivers and a flex and half ppr malik neighbors rishi rice michael wilson matthew golden and luther burden so he needs four of these three of them three so neighbors neighbors crazy neighbors golden or easy so then it's rishi rice michael wilson luther burden i think it's right to be plays and bird and wilson to be stuck i'm burdened no matter what in that wow okay yeah i think it's going to be a nice week for him with caleb back in atlanta in the dome see if i'm right or wrong jamie kyle wants to know how you value the two for one trades when you're getting the elite player and um i get okay he's two and three with two running backs and three flexes in his league you start three flexes okay he has jsn and bowers so i keep getting offers of two good players for one of my studs how do you factor in lineup spots when one side gets two starters at two and three should i be more willing to break up my studs for depth or does that just lower my ceiling what's your rule of thumb jamie when you're giving up an elite player i mean obviously you have to get two studs back in return for elite player you know so like we've we've had a couple already i think that were fair so like the puka for mcbride terrell mcmillan in a situation where you need to fill out starting lineups that type of deal makes sense so i don't want to you know be giving away a star for something that's just going to fill out spots i want to be giving away a star for two players that are going to be upper echelon and and hopefully equate to the one star so it's all case by case and in this situation where you have a lot of you know flex spots to fill you don't want to be running out damian pierce type players every week just because you have jsn players and hopefully those guys carry you so it's either try and get lucky with waiver wire options or try and turn one of those players into you know try to turn top three player into two top 15 players yeah and like last year i traded christian mccaffrey for nico collins and kyron williams i always kind of reference that a lot in these situations it did not end up being a good trade for me um but that's the right type of trade on paper it was good you know that's the one that could go either way i thought mccaffrey would slow down that's the other thing is like you know maybe keep it up i thought mccaffrey would slow down a bit he didn't i think the hours like what bowers is doing is basically unprecedented i i can't imagine he's going to be this good going forward he just simply if he's healthy he will be uh i think he will he won't be because he's not going to be this but he's going to have the potential to be this why not adam well because how many we said that about jsn he's averaging 24.4 fantasy points per game he is that would blow away obviously i'm not saying he's going to have 24 saying though i'm saying okay but as long as the he'll be the number one tight end he'll be a first round value but he's not going to be the best player in fantasy right now he's arguably the best player in fantasy well let's revisit a debate we had two weeks ago Are you now willing to accept that I was probably right on Bowers over McBride? Okay, thank you. Now let's take an IQ test, hot shot. For Maggie. I think the, I don't know this to be sure, but like the teams that might be, a team that might be in great shape is the team that went Gibbs, Bowers, or Bijan, Bowers. Like that start with Bowers at the end of round two is just ridiculous. Yeah, because I don't know what else at the end of round two is outshining. Walker in some cases made it there. Walker if he fell, which he never really did. London was there. Oh, true. Sometimes he fell all the way down there. Oh man, Walker. I think I have a Jamar Chase-Ken Walker league. Yeah. I took Chase third, or maybe second. I think I took Chase second. I took Ken Walker in the first round. All right, this is from Maggie. It looks like Caleb Williams will play. Should I play Caleb or Trevor Lawrence? And should I play Colson Loveland or Pat Fryermuth? Ooh. I split up the bears there. You'd go, which ones? Caleb and Fryermuth. Yeah, you can't just say it's split up the bears. Good point. I would also do that as well. I think Fryermuth has a nice matchup specifically. And I just think I'd rather Caleb in a dome game against Atlanta's defense that showed cracks last week versus Lawrence in that matchup. Okay, you guys ready for the Fantasy Cops? Why do you have Dan first? I've got like five Fantasy Cops. Listen, I'm just going to be 100% honest with you. I'm going to turn the music off. Not the best Fantasy Cops this week. They're not always going to be great. Yeah, it's not anyone's fault. We're not forcing it. We're not rushing. When they come, they come. It's going to be tough to top that Uncle Jim story or whatever his name is. Do we ever get a follow-up? Never got a follow-up. I think Uncle Jim probably got wind of it. What if, what if, what if we got catfished and Uncle Jim actually sent us the email? That's great. I don't care. It was great content. All right, here we go. I'm going to out myself. That was a good job, Uncle Jim. This is from Sam from Southwest Suburbs of Chicago. In the pre-draft, okay, I am the commissioner. I made it clear before the draft that Josh Jacobs cannot be on IR. Okay. The majority agreed and didn't raise questions. Now a league member is making a ruckus about Tyreek Hill being on IR. His reasoning is that Hill isn't on a team, and thus, he can't be on IR. What are your thoughts? And my interpretation of this is that the commissioner has allowed, has made it so that Josh Jacobs cannot be on IR, but Tyreek Hill can be on IR. That's bad. Yeah. Nope. That doesn't make any sense to me. I think it's 100% no. The only wiggle room you could have gotten away with, and I don't think you should have, is that Tyreek Hill was injured. I mean, I guess you could say something like the Tyreek, the Josh Jacobs thing is only because he's on, the, well, no, I can't, I can't even make, like. He's not on an IR spot. So, like, this was the detriment that you face with picking up Tyreek Hill. This was the detriment that you face with carrying Josh Jacobs, is that you should not be allowed to stash them to benefit because of what their situation is. You're hoping from a playing production standpoint that you're going to benefit, but given what these guys are going through, whether it's not being signed or being on the commissioner exemplist, you should not benefit as a fantasy manager by allowed to stash them in an IR spot that should be, that should be designated for players on IR or the publicist. Okay. So, to be clear, Tyreek Hill should not be able to be on an IR spot. Yeah. All right. I have a, I have a self fantasy cops to get to, too. Oh, at the end? Yeah, as a commissioner. I didn't do anything wrong. Okay. Oh, you also have a great story at the end of the year, too. All right. This is from Joe from Atlanta. Joe says, I have a dramatic fantasy cops for you. A trade went down in my league. The commissioner, who is eighth place at two and three, traded with a last place team at one and four. The commissioner traded David Montgomery, Blake Corum, and Alvin Camara. Montgomery, Corum, and Camara. Junk, junk, and junk. He got Saquon Barkley and Zach Charbonnet. The commissioner made a post saying, if anyone wanted a veto, feel free. Most responded indifferently with the exception of one person who confronted the commissioner, asking him if he really thought this was a fair trade. And he used some particular terminology to express his disdain of the trade. The commissioner showed that Charbonnet is hurt and hasn't played. Saquon is hurt, and he's already 50 on the season. And the three players that he traded away, Montgomery, Corum, and Camara, they're RBs 28, 34, and 36. The last place team stated that he was done with Saquon and said he didn't see how the trade helped the commissioner at all. The dissenting player then proceeded to drop all of his players in protest. What? He dropped all the players in protest. The guy, the one guy who was upset with the trade. Okay. Then the commissioner kicked that guy out of the league and the group chat. He put all the players back on the team and let a new manager take over the team for free with no league fee. First of all, is the trade fair? Secondly, grade the reactions. Okay. We should rename the league the Real Housewives of Fantasy Football for the amount of dumb drama. I have a strong take on this. Not only is. Is the trade fine? That's. You can't play judge and juror of trades. I talked about some, maybe with you off-pod, Adam, but last year, there's a Corey Kroski merit for. I think you've done it. I think you've done it on the air, too, quite a bit. Not this specific example. Okay. Where last year, somebody traded Bill for Pickens and the league went off. The chat was going nuts. How can this? This is not fair. And then Bill was the one who won the league. It's like Barkley has been injured and he is injured and the Eagles online stinks and now they're going to Tanner McKee. He's not that amazing of an asset. This is a terrible trade. Obviously. But you can't just say a bad trade needs to be vetoed. This is the whole point of this thing. Okay, but it's a bad trade. I'm not going to veto it, but it's a bad trade. You can't veto this. I'm not vetoing it. No one's vetoing it. But it's not even that. You can't veto trades. You have to just find a more. If you want your league to be competitive, then find competitive players to play in your league. You're not vetoing it. We're not vetoing it. But also, aside from that, the guy who dropped this whole team in protest, that guy is the worst. Yeah. Okay? That's all I'm going to say about that. I'm glad he was kicked out of the league. I'm glad they found a replacement. I hope he's kicked out of the group chat. I hope this baby doesn't get to go to any events moving forward with the group of friends. You have to really consider your friendship with this guy at this point. It's such a big baby move. It's hard to even explain. So 10 out of 10 for his baby rant, or his giant rant, because it's just epic. And then 10 out of 10 for them kicking him out of everything. Yeah. All right. All right. This one is from Brock. He says, Good morning, Walker, Hurts, Mahomes, and Mahomes. Oh. Um, what? The last four Super Bowl MVPs. Oh. I have a 12-team PPR league with friends and their wives. I don't think vetoes should be a thing unless collusion is involved. Agreed. I traded away Jamison Williams, Omarion Hampton, Josh Downs, and Kenneth Gainwell. This is going to be. No, it's not that bad. For George Pickens and Jeremiah Love. J-Mo, Hampton, Downs, and Gainwell for Pickens and Love. Perfectly fine. It got vetoed by five votes. However, I knew that two dads did not like it, and they had their wives veto as well. So it would have only gotten three votes. I am the commissioner, and I pushed it through. Was that the right thing to do? Ooh, wow. Yeah, this is a great example of why vetoing is stupid. Hold on. This is like the perfect example. Hold on, hold on. So it got the. I guess it needed five votes for veto, whatever. It got the five votes, but he thought two of them were fraudulent because the two husbands convinced their wives. So he pushed the trade through. I did ask some buddies that had been playing for years, and they said it was a fine trade. And then once I did this, a husband and wife combo got a trade accepted and wanted me to push it through. It was Kenneth Walker and Puka Nakua for James Cook, Stefan Diggs, and Ali Gordon. I'm afraid if I don't push it through, all hell will break loose. Please help our league come to a consensus. Yeah. Well, is it. There's so much to this. So first of all, the second trade, the really bad trade, was that a husband and a wife trading together? Yeah. So that's collusion. Well, that's necessarily. Like, that's just blatant collusion. What do you mean, not necessarily? They could be capable of making their own decisions. They don't necessarily collude here. But they're two of the ones that vetoed it, right? He didn't say that. Most likely. We don't know. He didn't say that specifically. I mean, you needed to set. It's on you as a commissioner. You should have set the rule there are no vetoes in this league. No, no, I mean, that's. You can't change the rule. The rules are. He violated the rules. So what's the rule? The rule is that the league can vote on it if there's enough votes it doesn't go through? Yes, and that's what their rules are. Okay, well, then he's wrong. Then the commissioner's wrong. Okay, so again, Dan, you do this all the time. Take your soapbox, put it on the side. Yeah. I just said the commissioner's wrong. Yeah, he's saying. I put it on the side. The commissioner's wrong. If that's his dumb rule, then that's his dumb rule and he has to go by the dumb rule. But the second part of this is the more troubling part. There's literal collusion in the league. That's not. I mean, look, it might be, and the trade again was Puka and Kenneth Walker. Oh, it might be. Of course that's collusion. That's collusion, dude. How do you know that's collusion? It's two studs for a stud and two junk. It's an obvious collusion trade. Okay, first of all, to call Stefan Diggs and Ollie Gordon junk is not fair. Essential junk compared to Puka. Compared to Puka and Walker, sure. But you're getting James Cook, who's right on par with Walker. No, he's not right on par with Walker. Go look it up. You're so full of crap. You are the one who said, you can't. This guy. You won't. You weren't going to veto a Jacory Krosky merit for George Pickens, but this one you think is so bad that it has to be collusion? Because there's actual stars involved in it dude but i don't think it's i don't think you should veto it by the way i never said you should veto it so don't call me a hypocrite i just said it's collusion and that's different you don't know that it's collusion but yes it should be if there is collusion it should be vetoed and the league is basically you have got three starters on one team two stars look it's a bad trade but i wouldn't veto it adam i don't think i've ever seen your shoulder so high it's a bad trade but i wouldn't you can it's not only is it a bad trade that's not why you should veto you should veto it because it's a husband and a wife making a trade so you're telling me that husband and wife are in the same fantasy league they're never allowed to make a trade you can't basically yeah you can't make this trade it's basically yeah unless it unless it basically yes no that is ridiculous so what if two best friends were in a dude they're sharing an account like all the money goes to the same place you're a bed all the money it's literally like who cares who wins if one of us wins we both win you know exactly and then one of them just traded two of the best players in fantasy football for a guy who's up there with them but not even at their level and then ollie gordon and and somebody like it's diggs and diggs who's hurt and not even that good ollie gordon is a star adam adam i know but it's not with jamie would you veto this trade yes if there are vetoes allowed yes you would not you're one thousand percent oh come on if a husband and wife it's a bad okay no husband and wife what if it weren't that's totally okay that's a separate question would you veto the trade if it weren't a husband and wife just two people in the league i yes if there's vetoes in a league where they allow vetoes then you have to what are you guys crazy in a league i don't play in these kind of leagues but if there are leagues where you have vetoes you this is just like a horrific trade excuse me all right isn't puka nakua playing with a pre-hernia right now oh give me a break everyone could get hurt at any time isn't kenneth walker one of the most injury prone players oh give me a break anyone get hurt at any time james cook could trip the wrong way and tears acl like knock on wood i hope that doesn't happen but like we can't be predicting injuries tell me which of those players he's equal to it's a bad trade but it's not vetoable yeah it is you guys said it's not vetoable if your league doesn't have vetoes which i completely agree with but if you're in this kind of league where the settings have been set exactly where there are vetoes you can only veto for collusion and if i told you that this was not collusion then you don't veto it i would question if it's collusion if this trade is happening yeah this is i don't know how you can prove this is collusion but all i know is it's a husband and wife making a trade and it's a god-awful trade all right we gotta take a break you guys are i feel like you guys are saying things that you're not saying that you wouldn't ordinarily say i feel like this is inconsistent with you're wrong no i don't think i am i'd like to know what the chat thinks the chat is not on your side they haven't said a damn thing about it uh yes they have god has said they're on our side entirely here's a couple things here come on adam from nick's fanatic uh we've got i rarely agree with dan but we here we are and he's right adam is now mad with dan that's not uh adam is right no no no no there's one adam is right and now it's just because you you you did god this is like you you led the question all right we'll be right back on fantasy football today first of all the most inaccurate thing that you may have ever said is that this is a bad fantasy cops i might have been one of the best ever yeah that turned out pretty good for the record i do think the husband and wife aspect does make it a little fishy oh yeah look who's backing down here no i i stand by the fact that if it were a husband and wife i would never in a million years veto it and i don't think you guys would either that's what i'm saying if there were vetoes allowed i'd veto it you can't veto for that you can't feel you can't bad trade you cannot veto because it's a bad trade you veto because it's a husband and a wife making a trade sure fine but you can't be like i said if it's not a husband and wife you cannot veto because in a league where they allow vetoes you can that's the whole thing so what so what what is the whole point of your jacori kroski merit george pickens story my whole point is that veto shouldn't be a thing for that reason i'm not saying i would veto this trade my you know my take i don't have to reiterate it i would not veto this trade i do not believe in vetoes i would kick the person out who made the trade yes dude i want a competitive league i don't want a league where someone is trading that making that trade personally i think you're i mean look i i think i think you're going a little it depends what you want or you could have a for fun league and then these trades can just fly and that's fine and that's all good too it just depends what you want i'm just saying i would want i wouldn't want somebody trading puka and and whatever for ollie gordon and diggs and james cook truly epic here and he says adam is clearly right and also smarter by the way thank you he is definitely a smarter by an iq test i would i mean we don't know that for sure but i feel like it's the case okay i have to apologize to the other fantasy copsters uh we're gonna have to move on no no way i mean fine we could do them quickly ready this is from brandon i'm gonna leave it it's been around for almost 20 years last week one manager forgot to take out keenan allen before the london game he texted the group at 9 31 a.m to see if he could swap out allen for someone else and we allowed it the next week week five a different owner didn't take out jordan addison in time and he waited until monday at noon to plead his case to replace him with someone on his bench he only had one option he could have put in so it's not like he was trying to pick his best bench option should we allow both moves one of them or neither of them alan yes addison no this one hits hits close to home because last last year in the playoff league against uh our friend adam i had the same issue with the 12 remember the 12 57 someone was like scratch at the last second and i tried to change my lineup but cbs had already locked it you don't remember this we talked about some fantasy cops and then we changed it for you no no i was not allowed to change it this was not your league this was uh it was it was the other cb i told him to change it for you i know he wouldn't do it he wouldn't budge respect who was the commissioner uh oddy collie oh was oddy oh i thought it was adam no he wasn't commish was he playing you he was playing me he wouldn't allow it 12 57 roma dunzey was scratched late in warm-ups and then i went to immediately change it at 12 58 posted on the message board that's great i cannot believe it took a zero in the playoff match that's insane the game hadn't even started yet well anyway the commissioner ruled that only way i'll make the change is if both managers agree to it and i you know what i respect that i mean the the other side of it it's like the i forgot the case he made but it made it it had some validity to it come on adam london that's not good enough all right last one with some jonathan dear sweetness the refrigerator the galloping ghost and iron mike the bears legends yeah there we go i need you to review a major commissioner power trip and double standard in my league love it super flex league earlier this season our commissioner jake instituted a brand new mid-season rule requiring league votes on trades and he falsely accused me of colluding with the commissioner and i'm not going to lie to you about that i'm not going to when i tried to trade for justin jefferson claiming that trades shouldn't be used to build quote super teams okay just stop right there that is pathetic jake like trades absolutely should be used to build super teams but fair enough we'll keep going under that heavy scrutiny my trade was blocked and vetoed now the commissioner has just turned around and executed a trade with the exact same team to acquire that very same player justin jefferson for himself and it went right through without an issue so i don't even have to read the rest of this but am i right to call out this massive conflict of interest or is this just fair game it's obviously a conflict of interest this one's pretty cut and dry here right i don't know what the trades were i wish he had included the details like was our was jonathan our emailer like so much more agree agree just what you say was there a husband and wife involved but look man like that's the thing like that's the thing like that's the thing like that's the thing like you you guys agree that trades that you it's fine to make a super team with trades right what do you mean yeah of course he he basically was saying this guy can't acquire justin jefferson because it'll give him a super team that's crazy no that's the whole intent it goes back to the two-for-one trades like if you are in a situation where you have a lot of depth and you're trying to acquire somebody you're you're clearly making a two-for-one trade to get a superstar you're allowed to do that this i hope everyone i hope everyone at home is feeling what i'm feeling right now i hope everyone at home is feeling what i'm feeling right now i hope everyone at home is feeling what i'm feeling right now this is so the exact opposite of what you guys were just arguing with the other trade what is wrong with you two today no the other trade is is crap for two superstars yeah it's not crap it's james cook stefan diggs and james cook and crap they're not crap listen compared to the player yes they are here's what i want you to do here's what i want you to do i want you to go when this is over go watch twins and go listen to what danny devito says about himself danny devito stefan diggs and ollie gordon look we think about it and we think that's the case but no we know that's the case no we don't dude ollie gordon has been good two weeks the shoulders are up i know whenever the shoulders are up you're you're so wrong because like are you why are you just completely ignoring what ollie gordon has done now look the fantasy analyst in us doesn't buy it doesn't believe it but ollie gordon had 100 yards and a touchdown on nine carries against the vikings and followed it up with a great game against the bangles why are we just completely discounting that because he's not puking the cool or ken walker he doesn't i know that it's oh but you don't veto that you just answered your own question i know that thank you no you don't yes veto that adam you don't realize that i agree to some extent with you my veto is based on the husband and wife aspect of it fine no you also and the timing like they were pissed off at that commissioner went through no like if you have if a league has vetoes it should never be used because you think a trade is unfair and giving a team a then why should it then what's the point of having vetoes collusion collusion collusion collusion collusion collusion if it's collusion the league is compromised immediately it's not like you can just veto it and move on i don't play in any leagues with vetoes i agree with you they're dumb but i think you guys are are really just not being consistent with your arguments when you say that no no no we're being very consistent with our arguments i don't know yeah we're literally saying if your league is allowing vetoes by the way i got a text from my buddy tom ferraro who uh loves basial tootin um he's he i didn't know he watches our show he said 100 collusion okay if because the husband of wife what i'm saying is if you took the husband if it was just two random people in the league i would never veto that trade i would say it's a terrible trade i would never veto it again we're not we're agreeing with you as long as it's not a league where it allows for vetoes if it allows for vetoes you're essentially allowing the league to decide on every single trade can i ask you a philosophical question because you're saying a league that allows for vetoes how the hell could i veto a trade in a league that doesn't allow vetoes obviously that's not what i'm saying by the way stefan digs caught three touchdowns in his first two games like he's not you oh my god then he faced seattle and then he faced indianapolis with his okay adam go look at the team where you have puka and offer puka for ollie gordon to them your best player and you'd have to accept again i don't like the trade i would never make that trade it's not even close to being a vetoable trade it's not even close to being one of those this shifts the balance of the league so well i guess it's kind of close to that i cannot wait for you to get off the air with this show and go to your wife and say can you just rub my shoulders please they hurt so much this the entire show actually my back is hurting me a little bit i think from all of this all right let's go to our apple podcast questions here no we got more fancy cops don't shortchange it no we don't that was it oh you want more for you oh you want mine um so this is a this is a tricky one um so uh i have three father-son leagues with my three boys uh my youngest one is eight and uh i'd say about probably 60 40 of the the league is eight and i'm not sure if it's eight or nine but i'm sure it's the parents are doing a lot of the the waiver wire moves um probably maybe 70 30 the the the parents are doing there's one kid who's uh who's 10 um who's uh his name is jack sobel one of the smartest football uh minds you'll ever come across at his age um he dropped saquon barkley earlier in the week oh i didn't notice until i was doing waiver moves waivers run on uh wednesday night right so it's and i didn't look at it until and i'm the commissioner so i didn't look at it until um it was like 11 o'clock i knew his dad would be awake i texted dad i said hey um i know you're probably not paying attention but he dropped barkley i said what do you what do you want what should which what what would you like me to do here he was like listen he runs the team himself you know it is what it is and i was like oh man i feel so terrible because i should have put it you know it's league for fun um but then i'm thinking i'm like as i'm thinking it through there are people that put in claims for barkley right and they're gonna be screwed if i had seen it earlier in the day i would have just sent a message to the league yeah and so i said to him like i i gotta let it go i'm sorry i felt awful no you did the right thing yeah you did the right thing i don't think you should feel awful because the dad said like you know this is his team and he's running it the way he wants to run it and also like it might be like a lesson for him too if barkley gets hot the end of this year like you know don't move on from these players too early type of thing but also i don't know if he his team and if you looked at his team like he's like he's like he's like he's like he's does he need did he need the rosters like a healthy guy to play i didn't i didn't go like yeah you know do extensive research on it i was just as i was like i saw it yeah i was like oh man like if this was like a competitive league okay you made a mistake whatever you know competitive being like you know adults doing it whatever the kid might have made a mistake for all i know but his dad goes his dad said which is right he goes he knows what he's doing he probably did it for a reason and look he may end up being a thousand percent right like that one trade we we reviewed i'm in a league where did you tell your son to spend his whole way for i'll tell you what i what i what i did and this would have constituted collusion but i i would have done it just to make the the kid feel better about maybe making a mistake i said hey i'll put in a claim for him if i get him i'll just we'll make a trade okay that's nice so and i and i even said collusion be damned yeah i mean saquon barkley you know he's i won't even count the two games he left with injuries but the other two games he scored nine points in ppr yeah you can't you know he hasn't scored a touchdown uh they got some serious concerns like i i i don't know how i'm gonna leave with adults here and it's a casual league and i went to office league they dropped this week they dropped davante smith before the jaylen davante smith and lad mcconkey were both dropped what yeah i that was shocking to me what league is that it's just an office league i plan but most people don't even know if i left the company at this point okay yeah um all right now uh did anything else or should we move on no we can move on all right apple podcast questions i'm sure there have been more comments but i only see two of them grade the trade from chas i still need to get the story from jamie on wednesday wednesday we'll get that okay grade the trade i received in a half ppr league i received omari and hampton denzel boston and isaiah likely okay hampton boston and likely i gave up chase brown and colston loveland i don't think it's that bad see i mean if you if likely keeps it up it's not that bad if likely falls off at any point yeah it gets real bad okay next up is from unless p ryan is like a real thing now and then then it's fine this is from last week but i'll read it anyway i have patrick mahomes and josh allen okay i trade one of them for a running back or a wide receiver i have miko zay zay flowers uh coleman and marvin harrison so he could use a wide receiver i have bijan ramondre braylon allen and yeah marks i mean yeah you got to package it and that's the only way it works adam and i was talking about certainly this week and in one qb leagues it's nearly impossible to trade a quarterback nobody's so i i didn't so i i didn't for the sake of time when dave said uh by low on dak prescott i went i was looking at the most traded players i think it's like 50 players before you get to the first quarterback right yeah it's impossible trade quarterbacks i know it's impossible you could trade josh allen though if you that i was just gonna say the next thing is if you want to trade a quarterback you have to then go to trading josh allen but you're never getting fair value in return you're not gonna get fair value but you're at least gonna solve your conundrum of having allen in my homes every week yeah but i okay so i have the league that i try to trade with dan i have lamar jackson bryce young and last week i had to pick up jordan love and i think jordan love is gonna be my guy this week and then he gets uh someone really easy gets detroit next week right and i don't want to roster three quarterbacks but god i can't drop bryce young you know and somehow you can you basically have to give that player away for agreed you know for a part-time rental so like he has braylon allen so that just name just stuck stuck out to me like if you find somebody that picked up braylon allen that does not need braylon allen but their quarterback situation sucks like that's the type of trade you're making get it and the bigger problem is replacement the problem with this is this is the conundrum too for the one qb leagues is like you offer me that trade adam and it wasn't bad from a value standpoint obviously but then i looked at it and i was like all right whatever like i have a crappy quarterback let me look at the wire jamis winston sitting right there and i pick him up and he's like a top 12 play for me this week so i'm like why the heck would i ever trade for bryce or whatever it was like when i could just put jamison uh yeah i don't remember what i offered you whatever it was it was like fine value wise but it just doesn't make sense when jamis is available sure okay and let's get to some spotify questions in a minute here or no right now okay it's from spotify that's not it it's from spotify here we go here we go uh what do you think of this trade give up garrett wilson and omari and hampton okay bryce hall and davante adams i like the hall side better i it's close for me i don't really love trading for hall right now but i think i like adams enough that i'm probably willing to take that bet because hampton's value is so bad if hall is healthy the schedule is going to be great and yeah i mean we've we've seen already got off to a good start alan had a great game like i could get a little i can i can see there's a potential concern of alan taking away a little work from bryce hall but a lot of work there's still a lot to love about his situation what if he takes away all the red zone work all right uh this is from uh i don't know who from garrett will uh garrett wilson and parker washington it's not from garrett wilson garrett wilson and parker washington okay for nico collins kyle menongai and denzel boston i need running back depth i don't think i do that oh that's bad you're giving up too much this is from mason okay my wife is struggling at running back she has hampton travis a chan price montgomery pollard camara she has jsn and lamar should she shop them around to see if she can fill out her team or just hold her best players and hope for the best 10 team ppr i wouldn't mind shopping lamar i would never trade jsn though oh how about this though he's in the league with her you guys call them collusion and kicked him out of the league he's offering her chase brown and malik neighbors for jsn not enough that's interesting i i mean i i i wouldn't hate that but i think i'd still probably prefer jsn but it's close and no adam we're not calling that collusion because it didn't happen moments after the wife and the husband were mad that the commissioner let another trade go through and then spite made a collusion trade which is pretty obvious to anyone who was following along that besides you should i trade ali gordon really for chuba hubbard yeah you should yes uh should i trade golden yes Stevenson. Who would do that trade? This is probably, if I had to, oh no, well yeah, probably do something pre-last week, maybe? Bi-week? Need a replacement? Yeah, this must have been a late question, because you're in a bi-week, you have Chuba, because you would never do that trade otherwise. Yeah, that's true. But no, it was a comment on our Week 6 Wafer Wire show on Tuesday. This is from Troy. Should I trade Matthew Golden and Ramondre Stevenson for Devante Adams, Jacory Krosky Merritt, and Dallas Goddard? No. What is it again? Golden and Stevenson for Adams, I don't think I'd do that. Bill and Goddard. I wouldn't do it. Yeah. And last one is from Ace. Jaden Daniels or Bryce Young this week? Jaden for me. Daniels. And Emeka Abuka, Luther Burden, Josh Downs, Devante Smith. Pick two. Abuka, Burden, Downs, Smith. Burden and Downs for me. Smith and Burden, if Smith plays, I'll go Burden and Downs. Fine. Craft or Kelsey? Craft. Kelsey for me. All right. And we'll finish up with your YouTube questions. But Jamie, let's hear your story. So it's really more like a for Dan story, but we'll see if you enjoy the entirety of it. I teased it a little bit yesterday. So I give, I write the start, sit story in segments and then Dan puts the whole thing together for the full length column. So quarterback, running back, wide receiver, and I try to work ahead as much as I can. There's a lot of like little pockets of when I'm trying to catch up on some stuff. So I try, my intent is, and I don't even know if Dan knows, like I try to get Dan everything by like six o'clock, the latest on, on Wednesdays. Um, was running behind, had to take my son to, uh, he goes to a strength and conditioning, um, with his baseball team. So I drop him off. I pull back in the driveway. I have still like a couple of tight ends, kicker and defense to go. So it's almost done. It's like around 6:30. There's a pickup truck right outside my house. I'm not in my driveway, but right outside, like on the swell. I'm like, this is weird. Like an old beat up pick old beat up pickup truck with like a bunch of tires in, in the, in the bed, um, of the, of the pickup, which is somewhat important. So I pull in my driveway as I'm getting out of the car, I see this guy coming across the street, dragging something. And it looked like, uh, Adam will know this Dan may from his tripper, but it looked like he was dragging like a big Palm front. So I thought maybe it was like somebody doing like some landscape. Or something, whatever. So I walk around the car, I'm like, Hey, what's going on? And I look and he's tying up an alligator and not just like a baby alligator, like a six foot, big alligator that you live by water. Do I live by the water? Yeah. Yeah. So I live in a neighborhood that's called Island lakes. It's a bunch of lakes. Okay. Um, around they're more like canals, but it's, you know, you get the point. Um, tying up the alligator, he's now moving the tires and there are, these aren't small tires, like moving the tires in the truck, picks up the alligator throws in the back of the truck. He goes, I gotta go get one more. Oh my, oh my God. As if like, he's going to pick like a banana from a tree. Like he going to get one more. This guy is barefoot, carrying fishing rods and a net. So he goes running back between two houses. And I'm like, I go inside my, my 14 year old. So I go, you gotta come see this. Yeah. Okay. Whatever, dad. Uh, I'm like, no, there's an alligator in a pickup truck. So walk outside. I take the, I take the dog outside just to take it for a walk away from where the pickup truck is just in case. And so like this, uh, this like other teenage kid comes walking down the street. I go, Hey, there's a alligator in the pickup truck. Yeah, sure. Guy. Um, he goes and looks, he goes, Oh bleep. Oh my God. Um, so meanwhile, I'm like, so it was fine. Huh? He didn't say the end of the curse word. So it was fine. Yeah. He said, Oh, um, and so then I'm waiting like to see if the guy's going to go bring back another alligator. So this is why I was a little late there. I'm sorry. So, um, all of a sudden, like the guy comes flying between two houses. He goes, it got away. And he goes, you saw the alligator. I didn't. No, no, no. It was probably running after the alligator alligator on the way. And then he came back the next day. What do you mean? So he didn't get it. I looked on the, the right. It says alligator trapper. So this is what he does for a living. Um, could you imagine that as a career? Well, he lost it. He lost. He came back the next day. Cause he didn't catch the thing. He didn't catch it. Yeah. So you just have six foot alligators, like roaming the, the air. My wife, like a, like a week or so ago, she took a picture from the one that's behind our house. And she said, uh, yeah, be careful walking the dog. Um, because she saw the head of the alligator in the, in the water. And they're like six feet. Uh, it was, I don't know if that was a big one, but, uh, the one that you saw was six foot. That's crazy. That's massive. That's a massive size. That's taller than any of us. Insane. Just six foot alligator roaming the neighborhood. Who has eaten? Like, thank God for this trap or this note. There's a question from the chat. Who has eaten alligator? I've wanted to try. I will try it, but I've never have. Yeah, I have. Um, but not at like a good place. Is it gamey or just tough? I don't really remember. Sam, I texted you if you want to post a picture. I think it's, I think it's tough. I would assume tough. I don't know if it's gamey as well. I would assume just tough. Tough is not great. Yeah. Show the picture, but crop out the house. I don't have my phone on me. Crop out the houses in the background. This is insane. Wow. Yeah, we don't need a neighborhood showing on this. Okay. Go to Google Maps. You can see any. Remember this place, RJ Gators, Jamie? RJ Gators? Sounds familiar. It was a sports bar in Coral Springs. I thought there were multiple of them. I think they used to serve alligators. Oh, no, I used to have it at this place called Dave's Last Resort in, if anyone lives near Lake Worth. It was, it was actually really good, but it was fried. It was fried alligator, like kind of like a appetizer. Okay. Like calamari kind of, but alligator. Yeah. Is it like an octopus? Like, I don't even know what I would expect alligator. I think it's meatier than that. That's meatier than an octopus. Okay. Okay. Grade the trade. No, we're back to football. What'd you say? We're back to football. Yeah. One in four. That's a crazy story. I need bodies. It was, that's wild. AJ, I'm not going to complain about mice anymore. AJ Brown and Travis Achan for Higgins, Laporta, Hampton, and Marks. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'd rather have the Higgins, Laporta. Yeah, the Higgins. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Laporta is so good. Yeah. Yeah. Alligator is fantastic. Tastes like a chicken nugget. Yeah, it actually is really good. Okay. There you go. So it's not tough. Bourne or Algier, half PPR. Algier, if love doesn't play. If not, I could go Bourne. Sure. Picked up Bourne and Bernard, to keep away from a competing team. Which do I keep rest of season? I'd have to drop one for a kicker. Bernard. I would keep Bernard for sure. All right, let's see that. Let's see that alligator. Oh, wow. And that's being blocked off too, by the tires. That thing looks mean. Look at its little hand. So is it dead? Did he? No. No, no. That's like a live gator. Yeah. I don't even, like what does he do with these things? And the thing was like, the tail was all curled up behind the tire. Yeah, I could see. It's obviously bigger than it looks in that, because you could just tell by the size. So like, what are you, are gators, you have to trap them like they're a menace? Like you're not allowed, I don't understand. Like you kill, like I don't even get what you do with gators. I'm not sure. Yeah. I'm not sure if he releases it or not. Like what they're considered. I don't even know. I know like with, because we've had like raccoon issues, those get. Okay. Iguanas, they take away. Yeah. Oh, iguanas are diabolical. Like iguanas. Why? During the winter. Like it doesn't get that cold in Florida. Great story. But during like, when it gets like in the forties or whatever, they will freeze themselves. And then fall from the trees. I've seen that. Yeah. And then they're just like fine months later. No. Do you know the, you've probably heard the stories of people that come to Florida, find a frozen iguana, take them home. Oh no. And it wakes up. And they wake up in your bags. Yeah. Holy crap. Yeah. Don't ever touch a frozen iguana. Who the hell is doing that? Anyway, like someone's like, I'm just straight. There's a guano home. Why? I would never want to do that. Put it in my bag with my clothes and stuff. There's dirty iguana. No. That is a great point. Who would be a better gator catcher, Dan or Adam? We'd both be horrible at it. Let me start by saying that. Yeah. We're both scared. Adam, I feel like you'd be a little more scared than me and hesitant than me. I'd be terrified. But what you do is you, you like wrestle it and all you just, they're, they're jaws. They're jaws. Is that what you do? I do. Well, you have to, you, you have to find a way to hold their jaws shut. No, I'm not doing this. Their jaws are very weak to open. That's what you can put a rubber band around their snout basically. And they won't be able to open their mouth, but they close. But if you miss, they're going to close on your hand and you're done. Then you're dead. Not dead, but you lose a hand. You got one shot. You got one shot at it. This doesn't sound great. Dad acts like this is a new creature. I don't have much familiarity with gators, Julie Epic. If we could, this is not going to happen. If someone would write us a million dollar check for St. Jude, don't put this out there. You have to catch an alligator. Don't put that out there. No way. Who has to catch him here, Adam? I was, I went to a, like I stood in an alligator pit at some place near Gainesville. It was like an hour from Gainesville. It was some like zoo. And I stood in a pit with massive alligator. I mean like 10 feet long. It was crazy. Did they like, give them something, like a pill or something, whatever, to sedate them? to try to find the picture uh all right so they were sedated alligators i assume or they were just well fed and not hungry really grade the trade matthew golden and ollie and ollie gordon the great ollie gordon for davante adams and jordan tyson i'd rather have the uh i'll go golden and gordon yeah because we don't know what tyson's gonna play yeah tyson doubt it okay how about sit one in ppr sit flowers watson jaylen warren or javante williams wow oh that's tough it's really freaking tough i think i'd sit warren even though they're all good plays and you have a great team yeah i mean you can make a case that flowers with huntley but oh yeah still feel like in full ppr there's more upside or i guess floor to him than warren yeah with dowdle back in the lineup but sir never gonna find that picture sorry grade the trade cousins valet waddle cousins valet and waddle for some smith and lamar jackson so you can't possibly davante smith why not because then it's just a joke of a trade for the team that's trading for cousins valet and waddle that's a terrible i guess it could be so then it looks like it is davante smith so yeah davante lamar side is a thousand times better here so obviously james and uh and dan would i can't believe how bad the broncos passing game is it's like shocking and stunning to me what's going on there i watched a clip last night it was like here there was only one pass attempt or completed that travel beyond the line of scrimmage or beyond the sticks it was that waddle slant that was like behind him and he caught did you see ryan fitzpatrick right oh that was crazy what ryan fitzpatrick said i've never seen that i know he's gonna apologize for that or something something's gonna come out of that you can't just do that i don't think it was crazy he's like this is disrespectful to the football to the quarterback he basically said he's not trying out there he basically did say that he said wasn't playing with passion i don't know how you measure that but i mean it was a little out of bounds the quarterback keeper on third down did not look like he was i kind of agree with fitzpatrick it didn't look like he was going all out for every yard on that play but he's kind of hurt and like not running in general all right pick one kendry miller tyler algier damian pierce dylan samson jaleel mclaughlin welcome to week six algier for sure if love doesn't play next is miller for me if camara doesn't play uh and then i'll go mclaughlin uh yes assuming everybody's healthy though i would go with pierce yeah there's a big you could go it's me and jamie are off on are different on the pierce things you got to pick a side there i'm just out on pierce completely this week would you trade lad mcconkey and floyd maybe marshawn lloyd for t higgins yes i would want higgins yeah and that's a great trade to make that quick before it gets pulled send mike evans and omari and hampton get jaylen warren no oh no okay uh need a wide receiver three darius cooper or quentin johnston oh johnston i guess i mean there's got to be somebody better on waivers like go get uh tomorrow like douglas might be on waivers but he was probably picked up in this waiver claim trying to think who's like very minimally owned right now um yeah demario douglas like any of the patriots might be on waivers but he's probably picked up in this waiver claim yeah i was gonna say that like the one guy if you're i think i'd go with quentin johnson over this guy but laquan treadwell he gets targets yeah it's not terrible i don't want to end the show on laquan treadwell no uh we'll uh we'll try forget it strike it from the record thank you for for uh the two biggest hypocrites in the industry i am wow your left shoulder and your right shoulder the noble adam azer here the consistent adam azer so high on miami hurricanes and he's just riding his high horse into the weekend let's go let's smash let's smash those seminoles we'll talk to you on sunday morning on fantasy football today paramount podcasts in this life you can't win when the world gets you down no escape to pluto tv this is objectively fantastic relax into the movies and shows you already know and love all for free even our news is uplifting you stay classy san diego watch school of rock crazy ex-girlfriend anchorman the legend of ron burgundy the x-files wayne's world and so much more the best things on tv really are free you just have to know where to look escape to pluto tv stream now pay never
