Week 9 Mailbag Q&A! Start/Sit, Waivers & Questions Answered! (11/7 Fantasy Football Podcast)
1h 37s
The podcast explores fantasy football strategy through a mix of player analysis, injury updates, and fan-submitted questions. Hosts evaluate key matchups, such as Keenan Allen and Devin Singletary, with Singletary emerging as a top-tier pick due to his high target volume and consistent production. Injury news, including Travis Henderson’s neurological condition and Garrett Wilson’s absence, significantly impacts team decisions. A major discussion centers on ethics in fantasy leagues, particularly collusion and tanking, with hosts agreeing that clear violations should result in immediate ejection from the league. The episode also features a viewer contest centered on Dan’s signature phrases and includes humor around pop culture, such as misremembered *Rocky* and *Hook* movie details. Fans contribute through multiple platforms, with questions focusing on trade viability, roster depth, and player matchups. The hosts emphasize the importance of fair play and competitive balance, especially in casual or family leagues. Ultimately, the show blends practical fantasy advice with lighthearted banter, offering both strategic insight and entertainment for listeners.

in that shirt 100 i did not sleep in this shirt it's too big sleep in no shirt i sleep no comforter
no shirt hot as hell my morning bed head reality the situation is i need a haircut and that's
now we've reached a breaking point i'm getting one uh two o'clock so that's exciting okay
did you just drink coffee
what's wrong with that you you just look so tired right now i'm always drinking coffee
on this show shirt the coffee the hair you gotta post the last the the rick rickle is cage
dad looks like he had a sleepover with jacob gibbs all right i i missed the one i was gonna
read um jalen coker orion flannoy rest of season coker unless pickens is out for gotta be coker
mitchell obviously any injury to lammer pickens changes that but mitchell or coker half ppr
mitchell i'll go with mitchell for this week uh scraping the bottom of the barrel not quite
algere camara concepcion or odunze ppr
i'm uh ppr for sure if night's up i don't think it says for sure oh if night's out yeah sure that's
fine if that's gonna be bad regardless though if night's out i think it's gonna be bad regardless
though if night's in i'd i'd go night's and i go odunze i was gonna say odunze regardless for me
it's probably odunze regardless um oh god i did not mean to pick that hey there we go yeah
henderson he's right though they do he is right though that band does you know what hard
yeah okay i can't believe you did that dan's favorite band is the grateful bedhead
dan are you are you a dead
fan yeah die hard how would you describe them uh well boring no definitely not boring adam
your band that you showed me and you made a playlist of that's what we would call boring
and slow bet whatever it was that if you want yeah if you want to sam bender is a thousand times
more boring than the grateful dead okay you need to be in an altered state of mind to enjoy the
grateful dead no you don't yes you do
oh garrett wilson's out this week um it's grateful dead this grateful dead hate is just
it's gone too far it's all that stuff the fish i can't listen i'm not as big a fish guy grateful
dead it should not be compared to fish they're very different bands uh singletary or valet
singletary easily if scataboo's out otherwise valet and i think scataboo is going to be out
so it's going to be really weird to see what goes on there with the backfield they have
like do we think singletary's out or is it out i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know
is going to be this full workhorse it's possible right it's what else do they have mafa from a
practice squad phil mafa they have eric gray who they re-signed to their practice squad earlier
this week you're answering your question here and even worse they have this guy that i can't
pronounce his name from the chargers practice squad but like is singletary ready for a full
workhorse workroad and if that's the case like isn't he just a top 15 play this week yes well
he's not very good
i don't know i think 18 touches that's a lot we were having the the we we we had a discussion 20
minutes ago on the friday episode which you're hearing on saturday which i don't know what time
you're watching this in any event um singletary versus woody marks like to me they feel like the
same guy you know they're they're gonna get a lot of work they haven't exactly been great when they've
gotten a lot of work i think the matchup favor singletary so i would take singletary um but
that's that player you're looking at yeah all right i think that's probably jacob and i went
back rankings on tuesday's show that's top 15 at this stage uh olave or flowers rest of season
a little more hope for flowers but genti coleman or jacobs
jacobs pick two that i wish you had to be able to start more than one of those
yeah well you can't hear kyron quorum or jonah we're gonna sit quorum yep yeah you have to sit
quorum there would you drop seth mcgowan to pick up seth mcgowan or seth mcgowan to pick up seth
singletary to block my opponent i just pick up singletary yeah for sure he's more valuable than
mcgowan you think so well i mean two things we don't know for sure that taylor is getting traded
it seems like it but don't know for sure we also don't know if scataboo misses this week how long
he's gonna be out it's true here's the thing with the taylor trade too it's like what if the if
teams aren't meeting indianapolis is asking price what's the point of them trading him now versus
them under contract there is no motivation to just rush this trade through you're older and
less compensation coming back if they but i mean to your point they're not getting what they want
anyway so right if they don't get what they want all right we're gonna take a break from the youtube
questions and we'll give you notes as they come in so garrett wilson is out and uh you saw the
henderson update yeah so i'm reading the state what's the henderson update uh he's undergoing
some medical treatment okay he released a statement
you want to read it um i'll just read this part i'd like to provide an official statement
regarding the medical condition i've been experiencing this is from travion henderson
recently i experienced an unexpected and unusual medical emergency involving a series of unexplained
neurological symptoms that required hospitalization for several days during that time i underwent
extensive medical testing and evaluation while the results of my comprehensive medical testing
have come back positive and reassuring the cause of this remains unknown and
explainable i will continue working closely with specialists and physical therapists to focus on
my recovery as these symptoms have
my strength, coordination, and some of my
physical functions. I am committed to
doing everything necessary to return to
full health. My health and long-term well-being
remain the foremost priorities.
And there's more. And we hope for the best
for Travion Henderson. It's really
terrible to see.
Okay. That sucks.
Yeah.
And yeah, it's early. It's
10.45 a.m., so we don't have a ton of, like,
we don't practice reports right now, but we will

E-mails
fantasyfootballatcbsi.com
from Braxton.
Dear David,
Matt, Brock,
and Deshaun.
Quarterbacks.
From? David, Matt,
Brock, and Deshaun. Clemson.
I don't know.
I don't know the
connection. That's my guess.
Well, the question is
rank these rest of season.
Rest of season,
not this week. Zay Flowers, Woody
Marks, Rashe Rice,
Jamison Williams,
Chase Brown.
I think we could probably put Marks last,
right? Easily. So then it's
Flowers, Rice, Jamison
Williams, Chase Brown. Rest of season.
That's a great group.
I'm going to say Chase Brown
won because finding running backs that are
potential workhorses is tough.
So I'll take him one. I'll go
man.
I hate to put Flowers behind the other two guys,
but his quarterback situation could still be the worst.
So I'm going to go Rice, Jamison
Williams, Flowers.
Rice, Jamison Williams, Flowers.
I think that's probably how I would have it too.
Though I'm intrigued if Brissette can
save this thing to some extent.
Obviously it's going to be better than Fagnano.
I saw you tweeted, Jamie, last night,
which is so interesting because in my home league,
the exact trade happened that you made
yesterday. Two of my friends made the
trade of Henry straight up for Chase Brown,
which you also did.
I kind of also loved the Chase Brown
side. This was, they made the trade before
the Brissette news. I don't know if you made it after
or before. I made it right before the game.
So you made it after the Brissette news.
Yes. So it gives a little
more hope for Henry. I still
like the Chase Brown side though, I think.
Yeah, I think Chase Brown
versus Rasheed Rice is a tough one.
Maybe.
In this discussion. And I would probably
go Zay Flowers
over Jamison Williams, but it's
tough. And
looking at Flowers, like even though he had
such a bad game last night, every time he touched
the ball, I was so nervous. I'm nervous. Yeah, he's electric.
That's what Jacob was saying. He's like, it doesn't
matter how bad the quarterback is. I'm like, well,
it does. It did last night.
And he didn't say that to be clear. It also
matters when you're playing a great defense. Like the Jaguars
have a great defense, you know, so it's
they're able to just suffocate the run
game without having to commit extra guys.
And that just changes everything.
Yeah, there was one play where I thought he was
like so close to breaking one, probably
for a touchdown. It ended up being like a 10 yard
gain. But yeah, he's
just got this explosive. Is this speed?
Is there a faster wide receiver in the NFL?
Like a faster, burstier
you mean? Yes. Yeah.
I think there's probably more long speed, but
burst wise, JSN, maybe
it used to be at one point neighbors.
I don't know if neighbor still has that
flowers because he may get that back.
He's just like, it's just
impossible to catch. He's like,
you'll find this in Rocky too.
He's like Rocky chasing
a chicken. I won't be watching.
I won't be watching Rocky too.
Oh, you should.
I have heard I should watch Rocky
four from other people. Two is awesome.
Also, three is awesome. Also, I don't think
he'll like Rocky four. Three is not
apparently Rocky four is the next three is not
awesome. Okay, here's
the thing. Hulk Hogan, Mr. T.
Here's the thing. Here's the thing. Rocky
one is an amazing movie. I have a lot of
thoughts on Rocky three, right? Yeah.
And let me just say this, Jamie.
Rocky one is an amazing movie, right?
Best picture, like just a great movie.
Rocky two is a really
good movie. Gets a little cheesy,
but it's a really good movie. Rocky three
is a pretty bad movie that I love.
Like it's stupid
and it's just stupid.
It's like Fast and Furious. You're gonna grab
thunder. Rocky four
is the best bad movie. I saw you
game, Eric. I got you. Yeah. Rocky
four is the best bad movie that's ever been made.
It is a bad movie.
I like bad movies sometimes. I can
not ever not watch it. It's so
entertaining. It's easily top
five Christmas movies of all time. Not a Christmas
movie, not even close. What?
And then Rocky five is horrible.
It takes place on Christmas. Yeah, it doesn't
make it a Christmas movie. It doesn't take place on Christmas. No, that's a guaranteed
Christmas movie. The fight takes place
on Christmas. The rest of the movie does not take
place. I can't take Dan seriously with this hair.
I don't know what happened here. It's the worst hair
day of my life. Worst hair.
I don't know how to fix it. It's too late. It's too
thick. It's too fro-y. It's done.
It needs to be cut. All right, from
Caleb. No, there's things called hats.
Yeah, I should just put a hat on. All right, here we go. Two
flexes. Two flexes for Caleb. PPR.
Jonah Coleman, Josh Jacobs, Luther
Burden.
That is tough.
That's a big hat.
He got a big hat on.
He looks like he's going to win this protection.
I knew
this was going to go over well.
All right.
You know what? Actually, we need
two or three. That's
better. Yeah. Backwards hat
is always a cool look. I hate to say it.
I'm going to go with Josh
Jacobs
and. Oh, man.
Jake in the comments, you better be joking.
Luther Burden never at one point looked
like that. You guys didn't answer the question.
I'm actually going to sit Jonah Coleman reluctantly.
What's the question? Josh Jacobs, Jonah Coleman
and Luther Burden. Pick two.
I'm sitting Burden. I figured
you'd sit Burden. Jacobs.
What was it? Jacobs what? Jacobs,
Burden and Coleman.
Yeah, you have to sit Burden.
Yeah. Look, I love Jonah
Coleman. I think he's going to be really good this week, but there
is still this thing in the back of my mind that Sean Payton
in the past as
you know, when it's been like Jaleel McLaughlin
versus Javante Williams, we thought
McLaughlin, we thought, you know,
he's going to feature this guy and sometimes he
just doesn't. He's very. You're saying
we're going to get bidet? No, I think
we might get more Dobbins.
You know, I don't think
that's going to happen, but I'm guarding
in case. I really like Luther Burden in
PPR, so I'm just guarding
against that, but I get it. Like the upside
of it. You have great players. Somebody's going to get left out.
It's unfortunate. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Okay.
We got to take a break. When we come back, we got more of your emails and then Fantasy Cops
will be right back.
Hi, I'm Tony DeCoppo
and as anchor of the CBS Evening
News, I am filled with endless curiosity
about our world and our society
Maybe you are, too.
My new podcast is called
Great Question. It's an effort to
capture that curiosity and
to answer the question you haven't heard a
satisfying answer to, or maybe
haven't even heard asked.
Follow and listen to Great Question
with Tony DeCoppo wherever you get
your podcasts.
Okay, back to the emails from
Andrew. 10-team PPR,
I need a running back and a flex. Blake Corum,
Woody Marks, Rashad White, Colston Lovell.
Loveland.
Marks and Loveland.
I'm not benching Loveland
and then it's Marks, White, or
who? Yeah, I think
volume-wise, you just have to go with Marks. I could see
Corum outscoring him, though.
Nick is in a PPR league. He
needs one. Judkins, Lemon,
or Coker? Judkins, Lemon,
Coker. Judkins.
The chat is
crazy. Yeah, I saw that, too, Dan. I went to
Great Clips and just asked for the Jacob Gibbs.
All right, Jamie's
going Judkins. Oh, the chat's too good. I gotta go
to private chat, so I'm not looking at it anymore.
Coker.
This one is from NoName. Hey, Boxer,
Golden, and Pug.
Dog names. Dog
breeds. Dog breeds, yeah.
Great.
Who would you drop in order to take
a buka off of IR?
DK Metcalf, Rico
Dowdle, or Jordan Mason?
It's
between Rico and Mason.
Yeah.
I guess
I mean, there's
two things that play here. Mason could easily be the best running
back for Minnesota rest of season, whereas
I think Dowdle needs an injury for that to happen.
But the Vikings could also trade for Jonathan Taylor.
The Vikings are also just not
operating the run game like we expected them to.
They bring in this new guy who's supposed to install
wide zone. It's supposed to work out well. They're going to
lean on the run game. We just don't see that in
any of these games so far.
I don't disagree.
We really haven't seen Mason
in a great matchup.
And Jones was awesome
for fantasy when Mason was out.
True.
They're in similar situations, too, with that, with
split backfield. It's one
of those two. To answer the question, I'm going to drop
Mason. I would drop Mason, too, especially
if it's PPR. I would consider
dropping Metcalf, too. He's been pretty bad,
but I think you need a little wide
receiver depth. Dan
looks like Nick from New Girl if he's
I never met Jess.
I take that as a compliment, to be honest.
Nick's like one of my favorite characters in TV history.
But without Jess, it's not great.
I at least want to get the Zoey's Day Chanel out of that.
I'm getting nothing out of that.
From JP.
He's like the loser guy.
All right, all right.
From JP in a city with coordinates that are exactly 30 degrees north and 90 degrees west.
What the heck?
It's New Orleans.
You know this?
No, he put it in the email.
It's New Orleans.
Oh, New Orleans.
Dan wasn't on last week when we got the email about his critique of North Carolina.
Yeah, what was that about?
You got killed for your thoughts.
You got killed.
Wasn't I very complimentary of North Carolina, if I'm not mistaken?
You said it was an up-and-coming state.
Right.
And you listed the cities that you'd like to go see, and they just tore apart your whole—
Based on what?
Okay, you said he was from a place that was geographically somewhere related to—
Oh, yeah, you're wrong on where it was.
You're wrong about the geography.
You said it was up-and-coming, and he resented that, I think, because it's arrived, basically.
Okay.
Yeah.
What's wrong with you?
All right, JP in New Orleans gives Mahomes and Josh Jacobs.
Okay.
Has Drake May.
Gives Mahomes and Josh Jacobs.
Gets Javante Williams.
F.
That's an F for you?
You think Jacobs is more valuable than Javante?
I think they're at least on par in giving up—
They are on par, but he doesn't really need Mahomes.
I think his whole goal of this is essentially, like, take out the uncertainty, right?
That's fine.
Like, if you trade Jacobs, you don't know if he's going to get another suspension,
or you don't know what's going to happen now that they're kind of opening the case back up.
To only lose Mahomes, who you don't really need, I don't hate it.
There's a good one from the chat.
Has Dan ever seen the movie Hook, and can someone tell him if he should?
All right, don't answer, Dan.
Adam, what side are you taking?
Zero chance.
Zero chance as well.
It's not zero chance.
Like, I should have seen it.
That's Robin Williams, right?
It's like Robin Williams playing Tinkerbell—or, no, not Tinkerbell.
It's like a Tinkerbell-adjacent movie.
He plays Peter Pan, you dumbass!
Peter Pan, right, right.
Why did he play Tinkerbell?
You know what I meant.
Obviously, he's not—
That might be the two of my most favorite lines in the history of the show.
Robin Williams plays Tinkerbell.
No, like, I knew he didn't play Tinkerbell.
I just meant, like, Tinkerbell, Peter Pan.
I was trying to find out, you know, I was trying to get into the universe, the mind of the Peter Pan universe.
Jamie, who plays Tinkerbell?
I have not seen Hook.
I should have seen it.
What is it, like an R-rated version of Peter Pan?
No, R-rated?
No, no, no.
It's a kid's movie.
It's just a Peter Pan story?
Hey, layer number two is to our Dan.
What's about Captain Hook?
The second layer to it.
Who's Captain Hook?
Wait, okay, hold on.
Two things.
Jamie, I need to know the second layer to it.
Dan just asked,
who's Captain Hook?
Do you not know who Captain Hook, the character Captain Hook is?
No, I assume he's the bad guy in Peter Pan.
Wow, yeah.
Yeah, I don't think I've seen Peter Pan, really.
Maybe as a kid.
Like, I don't remember Peter Pan watching it at four to six years old.
Who's Lex Luthor?
I mean. I know who Lex Luthor is, Superman bad guy.
That I know.
Yeah, Captain Hook is played by Dustin Hoffman in this movie.
It's a great movie.
Oh, so then what's Robin Williams?
Robin Williams is Peter Pan?
He's Peter Pan, yeah.
Isn't Peter Pan a boy?
Yeah, but it's. So he plays a boy?
Peter Pan has grown up,
and he goes back to Neverland.
Back to Neverland.
Back to the Netherlands.
He goes back to Neverland as a grown up.
There's no never disappoint.
It's a really fun movie.
Okay.
All right, has Sam seen Hook?
What do you say?
Yes.
You say yes, I say no.
I say no.
No, I've never seen it.
Oh, dollar for me.
It's a great movie.
But I know Robin Williams didn't play Tinkerbell.
I mean, come on.
I did.
Me too.
I was just trying to get my mind to wrap around,
like, what's the Peter Pan world?
That's the only character I remembered.
Let's rapid fire through the rest of these emails.
It is changing.
I didn't remember any of the characters.
Okay.
Grade the trade.
Just so we're clear.
Just so we're clear.
Yeah.
The movie Hook, according to Fantasy Football Today,
Robin Williams plays Tinkerbell,
and they go back to the Netherlands.
They go back to the Netherlands, yep.
Yes.
Oh, my gosh.
You got it.
Oh, man.
Yeah.
They go to Amsterdam.
It gets really crazy.
Wait, you just had a look up that the Netherlands was Amsterdam, didn't you?
No.
What did you just type?
Oh, nothing about that.
I was looking at something in my notes.
Would you mind grading this trade from Dylan?
I give up Bowers.
No, I get Bowers.
I give up Ollie Gordon, McConkie, or Laporta.
Yeah.
Slam dunk, eh?
This is a classic three.
For one, you always want to get the best player in the deal.
You got it, by far.
I mean, probably.
I get a little nervous about the Mendoza effect, but we'll see.
I actually do, too, but we'll see.
We'll worry about that.
What, four and three now, the Raiders?
Four and four.
Four and four.
We'll worry about that when we have to.
Okay, this is from Matthew.
Would you buy low in Dynasty on Cam Ward?
I'm thinking I could give up A.J. Brown and a 2028 second round pick for Cam Ward.
In Superflex, I assume?
Yeah, Superflex.
Dynasty.
I'd probably want something back in return with that,
but if you're just concerned that A.J. Brown's done, then that's fine.
I actually like this trade a lot if you're not competing.
It's not even that I have so much faith in Ward.
If you look at what happened last week,
they kind of just did gimmicky stuff that probably won't last.
It was a lot of RPO stuff, a lot of basically college concepts
that he leaned on in Miami, and I read a great article on this,
breaking down the tape of it, which is a cool, good idea by Dable and Ward
to come up with something that will work for you.
But will it work for an extended period of time?
No, most likely.
So then will he be able to play real quarterback at some point?
That still remains to be seen.
Okay.
Dan, do not answer Adam.
Dan, do you know why Adam is dressed up today?
This is considered dressed up?
Are you kidding me?
Well, he's worn shirts with holes in it, so yes, this is why he's wearing a tuxedo.
Yeah, I guess a button down, a clean button down.
Is he going on that playbook show?
Is that why?
No.
Oh, no.
You get three guesses.
That's one.
You get two more.
Okay, one, he's going on the playbook show.
Play action.
Play action, sorry.
My bad.
Two, he's got like another Hanukkah party or something for his wife and kids
that he has to go to.
No.
Is that wrong?
That's wrong.
Okay.
Hanukkah party in November.
Yeah, you know, a bris or something.
Thoroughly, yeah.
An early bris.
Three.
An early bris.
He could be.
What's the last thing Adam could be doing with his time today?
Because he did say we have to end the show early today.
It's got to be a short one.
Yeah, this isn't helping.
All right.
Ethan needs a flex.
Jalen Coker, Keenan Allen, or Devin Singletary?
Singletary.
Singletary for sure.
If there is no Skadaboo.
Yeah, Skadaboo's not playing.
I don't think so.
It's Singletary.
And by the way, the Jalen, the Jacoby Brissett trade is official.
And what was the compensation there?
Do you have it?
I don't think they've had that yet.
Yeah.
It's the Ravens get Brissett and a fifth rounder.
The Cardinals get a fourth rounder next year and a seventh rounder in 2028.
All right.
So what are you doing after this with that shirt?
I can't tell you.
Yeah, tell me.
And this, I can make fun of it.
Please tell me so I can make fun of it immediately.
I cannot say it on the show.
You could say where you're going.
You don't say where you're going.
You can say what you're doing.
I'm going to lunch.
That's all I have to say.
Oh, you're going to lunch with somebody important.
What size league do you typically-
That's what you decided to wear?
What are you talking about?
From Joe, what size league do you typically give advice for?
Usually 12.
12 is our default.
And half PPR is what we usually default to as well from a setting standpoint.
And finally, no name on this one.
Dear Seth, Evan, Slater, and Michaels.
Seth, Evan, Slater.
Isn't that Saved by the Bell?
No.
With the Slater thing?
It sounds like Superbad.
Yeah, right.
With the Seth and the Evan, but it's not.
There's no Slater.
I think there might be a Slater.
In Superbad?
No, there's not a Slater.
Are those the cops?
Those two cops.
Yes.
I remember that.
It's Bill Hader and Seth Rogen or Slater and Michaels.
Oh, so it is Superbad characters.
Nice.
Interesting.
All right, two questions.
Half PPR.
Start three.
Chase Brown, Chris Olave, Woody Marks, Jalen Coker, Blake Corum.
Olave.
And Chase Brown.
Chase Brown.
It's only two.
Marks, Coker, Corum.
Marks.
Marks.
PPR, start two.
Charbonnet, Downs, Kamara, Addison, Myers, Tyson.
Start two.
That's up there.
Can't play Myers.
Because they already played, right?
Right, yeah.
I might go Kamara and. I was thinking Kamara is my first option, too, which is crazy.
I might roll with Addison.
Give me names again, I'm sorry.
Addison, Tyson, Downs, Charbonnet.
Addison.
I think I'm going to go Charbonnet and Kamara, which I don't love.
P.S., my wife rips my holy socks in half while being laundered to avoid me wearing them.
It's a good idea.
Smart woman.
Smart woman.
I guess, if you wear ripped socks.
Ready for some Fantasy Cops?
Yes.
Let's do it.
About time.
This one is from Phillip.
I've never seen this happen before in any of my 35 leagues.
Wow.
The team is trying to accomplish league-wide collusion on the main chat thread.
I'm 6-2.
I have two rostered quarterbacks, Brissette and Rodgers.
Brissette benched Rodgers on a bye.
This manager is instructing the league to pick up the remaining six starting quarterbacks on the waiver wire tomorrow.
And block me from starting a quarterback.
Do I have any recourse or protection here from clear and public cheating?
Obviously, this was a Tuesday email.
So he has no quarterback, and there's a manager that is telling everyone in the league to pick up the remaining six starting quarterbacks for this week.
Listen, there's no penalty that could be doled out here.
It's just fantasy karma.
Yeah, I think Jamie's right.
Like, what penalty?
Could we impose here?
It's a pretty crappy thing to do.
Now, if that manager had said to every other league, hey, you're going to pick up this quarterback, that quarterback, that quarterback, that part, and then drop them all and instructing them how to do something not necessarily, again, illegal, fantasy illegal, but just dirty ethics.
Like, that's just crazy.
I think it fits into the billing of, like, there's a somewhat inactive manager toward the end of a season, and Team A texts that manager.
Hey, you got to, you know, how about you set your lineup because he needs him to potentially beat another guy.
That's, again, not a great thing to do karma-wise, but it's not illegal.
So I think it is just what Jamie said to start.
It's because people are saying it sounds like collusion.
I don't really think that's collusion.
I mean, it kind of is.
It's like.
It's so many teams involved, though.
Managers conspiring together against one other manager.
Yeah, but I mean.
Yeah.
Obviously, we don't know the context.
It could just be trash talking.
Hey, this guy doesn't have a quarterback.
Everybody go get a quarterback.
I mean, OK, if we take him at his word.
Maybe it is collusion.
If we take him at his word, and this guy is instructing the league to pick up the remaining six starting quarterbacks on the waiver wire.
Yeah, I don't know that that's collusion.
Did they all do it?
I don't know.
Well, yeah, I guess that is collusion.
I never really thought about this because I've never seen this happen.
In which case, if there's one guy telling, you know, who told the league to do this, he should be kicked out of the league for collusion.
No, no, no.
That's not like a joke.
If you collude, you're done.
You can give him a warning.
There's no warning for collusion.
It's a one and done.
It's very clear.
I don't know about.
I mean, this is.
Dude, you don't know about that?
It's cheating.
But this is like, this is not obvious collusion.
I think that we didn't even realize it was collusion until we talked it out.
Right.
I just don't know.
OK, so if you.
Fine.
If you if the guy.
So you're saying he just didn't know what he was doing was wrong.
I'm saying.
Yeah, I'm saying he probably didn't.
Maybe he maybe didn't realize it was wrong.
As it is.
But is he doing it like to be serious or he's going to be a joke?
No, I think he was doing it to be serious.
I guess then that is collusion.
Yeah, I think I took it as like just trash talking like, hey,
he doesn't know quarterback.
OK, I'll say this is for colluders.
You're one and done.
You don't get chance.
Second chances like Adam wants to give you if you're it makes no sense
to give somebody who cheats.
And your best friend does colludes with somebody else.
You're kicking him out of the league.
I guess I'd have to.
Yeah, you would.
You would not.
There's no way you would.
I would consider.
I unless you didn't know what he was doing.
Let me ask this question.
Do you do you play in fantasy leagues with the group of guys
that you go golfing with?
Yes or no.
See, some of my home friends are in golf.
OK, so two people that you hang out with all the time, right?
They collude with each other in one of your fantasy leagues
because they want one of them wants to help the other one win.
You're going to kick both of them out.
Two of your best friends.
One hundred percent because they would know better.
We've had our home leagues 20 years and risk not being friends
with them ever again.
They would not.
They would not.
But they did.
I know they wouldn't, but they did.
They were bad.
They don't see it as one moment of weakness.
And they did.
If they could argue that it's not collusion, then I'd reconsider it.
But like they they know better is essentially what would happen.
So if that happened, it would be a really bad sign for everything.
And I mean, look, it's like golf, dude.
Like we used someone in our golf group used to do the thing where like
he basically got caught cheating, like he would find balls that went
out of bounds that were supposedly his and all sorts of crap like that.
And then he got kicked out like we don't invite him to play anymore.
You know?
You can't.
And we're still friends with him.
No, no one's friends with him either for other reasons.
But that's for other reasons.
For other reasons.
OK, OK.
But are you.
But when you kick these people out of your fantasy league, you're still
going to be friends with them or it's going to put a strain on your
friendship.
And I would say it's not worth straining your friendship.
It's not.
I guess I would just.
I mean, it's never going to have them a warning.
You don't kick them out right away.
Come on, man.
For for cheating.
Yeah.
If they blatantly know they're cheating.
Yeah.
OK.
I guess so.
All right.
Next one.
I am the commission.
OK, listen, I usually don't ever say like veto bad trades.
This one's borderline.
It's from Nicholas.
I'm the commissioner of my league and a trade just went through on
Wednesday, the fourth, two days ago, three days ago, depending on when
you're hearing this.
It's between the 11th place and the 12th place teams.
They're both two and six.
Team A receives Trevor Lawrence, Jonathan Taylor and T Higgins.
Team B receives Bryce Young, Khamani Vidal and Jordan Addison.
So one team is getting Lawrence, Jonathan Taylor and T Higgins.
The other is getting Bryce Young, Khamani Vidal and Jordan Addison.
As commissioner, I immediately vetoed the trade because it's blatant collusion and tanking.
However, I failed to notice that Team A is my week nine opponent.
Team A is the one getting Lawrence, Taylor and Higgins.
Once the veto went through, Team A immediately accused me of abusing my power to secure a trade.
Team B is the one getting Lawrence, Taylor and Higgins.
Once the veto went through, Team A immediately accused me of abusing my power to secure a win against him this week.
Wanting to remain completely fair, I told both teams to resubmit the trade and I announced that the remaining nine managers in the league would vote on it, excluding me, Team A and Team B.
Team A is still furious, arguing that a league vote is unfair and that their mutual agreement should be enough.
I have a feeling that Team B is giving away their best players because I made our last place punishment too fun.
The loser of the 11th place game has to play a one versus 11 paintball match against the entire league.
So he thinks that this guy is giving away players so he can lose the league and play one versus 11 in paintball.
Was I wrong to veto this trade of Lawrence, Taylor and Higgins for Bryce Young, Vidal and Addison?
Immediately, what's the fair way to handle this?
If vetoes are allowed in their leagues, which we all agree should not happen, but if vetoes are allowed in their leagues, this is a vetoable trade.
Yeah, I mean, it's a league ruining trade.
It ruins the competitive balance of the league completely.
It ruins the season.
Luckily, I guess like it's tough for me as commissioner, the leagues I commissioned, this doesn't happen, this type of nonsense.
But if you're playing in a non-competitive, I don't want to call it non-competitive, a less competitive league, and this type of stuff can happen or whatever, I guess give them a warning and be like, guys, we're trying to have fun here.
We're trying to like keep a competitive, like a fun, like we can't be doing stuff like this, guys.
I understand you want to be the one versus the one on 13 in paintball, but you know, you have to earn it the hard way.
Sucking, naturally sucking.
I do think that letting the other nine managers vote on it is a pretty fair compromise.
Yes, I agree.
Yeah, I think you did a good job.
I don't think so, though.
Like, I guess if they care, it seems like the other nine managers don't.
It's a pretty chill league, though, right, Adam?
I have no idea.
There's a good chance.
Well, of course it is.
This guy literally just traded three stud players for three terrible players.
Because he's trying to get into last place.
These are the two worst teams in the league.
Exactly.
My point being, it's a casual league.
That type of stuff would never happen in a competitive league.
But that doesn't mean the other nine managers won't care.
It means that there's a good chance one of the nine doesn't care either.
Well, they don't have to be unanimous in vetoing it.
All right, we have to take a break.
We've got a couple more Fantasy Cops when we come back after this.
It's really amazing how infrequently I agree with Dan during this segment.
I just said, yeah.
All right, next up.
This one is from, oh, it's from Howard.
Can I get two seconds?
I don't think the bills are suddenly going to. What was that?
It was a clip I had on my side.
Eric needs our help.
Eight-team league with my family.
My cousins, some of their kids, even a grandparent.
We just had a trade go through between my uncle and my cousin's son.
And that is a grandfather and a grandson.
Okay, so a grandfather and a grandson made a trade.
The grandpa is one.
And seven traded Bijan Robinson to his grandson
for Ramondre Stevenson and Tyler Algier.
I am someone who is anti-veto in more competitive leagues.
I'd say I'm even more anti-veto in this free just-for-fun league.
However, some of the league mates are far more upset than I am.
Obviously, this trade, Bijan Robinson for Ramondre and Algier,
is horrific.
And any normal league, I imagine, would never get accepted.
But given this particular league's circumstances,
how would you handle a trade like this in your family league?
The first thing we've got to ask is,
is this another Uncle Jim situation?
I was going to say, is he related to this?
Yeah.
Like, is this one guy managing two teams again?
It's Grandpa Jim in this case.
Grandpa Jim.
Yeah.
I just struggle with these because I don't really know
how to approach non-competitive for fun leagues like this.
So I'll defer to Jamie on this one.
If this happened in any of my father-son leagues,
this is with other parents, so it's not just all my kids.
Um,
just say, listen, I'm not allowing this to happen.
I'm sorry. Okay, I don't agree.
So you do step in. I don't agree. Jamie would know
because he has experience with it. This trade is not
nearly as bad as the Trevor
Lawrence, Jonathan Taylor, T. Higgins
for Bryce Young, Kamani Vidal
and some other scrub guy. This is
Bijan Robinson who has four straight games with fewer
than 18 PPR fantasy points. Stop it.
For Ramondre Stevenson and Tyler Algier.
Oh, it's not that bad. It's not that bad.
It's not vetoable. Obviously, I'd rather have the Bijan
side, but it's not vetoable. No, it's vetoable.
It's not vetoable. It's terrible. No way.
You got Jeremiah Love on IR. Now, I
think Algier is not going to be that good, but
you got Love on IR. You got Ramondre
Stevenson is a must start
running back. I think
Ramondre Stevenson is a must start running
back. I think so. Despite
producing in the kind of
he hasn't been that bad. He's kind of
kind of plays plenty.
So I don't he never plays on passing
downs. So what? Passing down
the most overrated thing that they don't score. Their
offensive line is not great and they only throw
it. Now that I think about it, it's not as
horrible. They've got the third best offense since
week four, and it's mostly Drake
Drake may going off. Okay, so over the
last five games, Ramondre
Stevenson has scored 18.4
17.5 3.6
22.5
and 12 PPR fantasy points. He
might be better than he's probably not, but
he might be pretty close to Bijan Robinson
in the last games. That's
insane to think about. One thing I will tell
you, though, Algier, who gets
the Rams, the Chiefs in
his next two games and the Seahawks,
the Seahawks, Rams and Chiefs, that's going
to be one of those guys you put in your lineup and he just
devastates you. I mean, that's possible, but that's
not really relevant, in my opinion, for this trade.
So you're almost worse to
have him. Well, here's what I would say to the
since it's a friendly
or a family league, I would say
hey, who's getting
grandpa's giving up Bijan
grandpa's giving up Bijan to grandson.
I would say to grandson
just throw another player
in. Maybe
all right. I was going to do another one.
Just normal stick. We got this email
from Joey and Joey. Listen, email me
again next week or Dan, you can remind me.
Joey has a dynasty
fantasy cops question from like three
years ago that he wants us to
rehash because he wants specifically
he wants Dan's opinion on it. And Dan wasn't on
the show. Just do it now. No, I can't.
I can't. It's fine. No, it's not
my lunch. I got to do. I got to do ad
reads before. Just do it real quick. Just do it.
Come on. It's so long.
Fine. Next week. All right. Back
in week four, one of my dynasty. This is
from several years.
I made the decision to tank in week
four. I traded Jonathan
Taylor and the understanding of the rules at the time
is that I had to start active players.
As long as I did that, I wasn't breaking any rules.
One of the league co-commissioners
texted me saying that the league was pissed. I was
benching all of my good players, but since
I wasn't breaking any rules, there isn't anything he
or the league could do. Fast forward
a few weeks and the other co-commissioner started
Anthony Richardson. One of the weeks
he was benched. No one said anything,
even though this was a violation of what we understood
was the rule at the time. They have to start active
players. Fast forward to week 11
and one of the tanking teams started bi-week
players. But again, no one did anything
about it. Now we come to
this week and notice that the
co-commissioner has Richardson.
Oh, no. Sorry. The co-commissioner that has
Richardson had benched his entire
lineup and wasn't
starting a single player, which is a clear violation.
I see this and based
off the precedent that was set by him and the
other league members starting bi-week
players, I decided to bench my
whole lineup, too. And this is where
things go off the rails. One of the
league members dug up the original rules
that somehow had been lost when the first commissioner
dropped out of the league.
The original rules stated that we had to start
our most competitive lineups,
thus making what
I had been doing illegal
since week four, by the way,
I believe. So the league decided that
they were going to hold to this rule now
in week 12 and
go back and change
everything, dating all
the way back to week four
because of this rule. I argued
this was BS and we couldn't enforce
a rule in week 12 that we hadn't enforced
all season and that multiple people
broke this rule. It wasn't just me.
They said that since it's the rule, I have to
deal with it. And they went back and they changed
everything. I argued that it's
messed up because I made decisions to tank
and to trade Jonathan Taylor based
off this misinformation. One of the co-commissioners
texted me. Remember, the co-commissioner
said all you have to do is start active players.
The real rule was that
you have to start your quote most competitive lineup
whatever the hell that means. He said
that it doesn't matter and the rule takes president
over everything and I shouldn't have. I should have
done a better job knowing the rules
and they as commissioners were too busy to check
everything. I said that's ridiculous.
But if that's what the league decides, I should
at least be able to start the lineups. I would have
started if I had known
and they said that's wrong and we have
to start the teams that based on the best
projections.
Anyway, it goes on. What do you
think, Dan? How did they have? I don't
even know how they're going to run back projections from past
weeks. That's another story
for another day. This is way
too complicated. I think it's pretty easy.
You do not go with what was in the original
rulebook. You go with what the projected
what the new commissioner said
the rule was and what everybody adjusted to at
that time. There's way too much that can
change from it going
the other way here. This is
I'll say this about Dynasty League though, Adam, because
I see this a lot in our leagues with
Big Burger and stuff like that and he's
super flexible. We started last year for
for
St. Jude. There's just too many tanking teams
in these and there's it's just too many times
I've seen these lineups that are dead. I
really stand by this for Dynasty.
I do think the best format by far
is best ball. I think best ball is so
much better because it takes away from
that and I don't think it's good for
a league when you have these teams that are getting
free wins because there's other teams
are tanking in best ball. You really can't
do that. You have to build your roster
out. You have to try to advance years
ahead, but you may get some
wins because it's going to start your best players from
that week. All right.
Thank you. Sorry to go off track,
but I really stand by that. I
I regret regret asking
to read that. Yeah, that wasn't
great. It wasn't
that wasn't a great one. It wasn't like
it didn't set me up for anything fun. That wasn't good.
I just think it's one of the worst decisions
I've ever seen in Dynasty. I think it's one of the
worst decisions you ever made to pick that one. I told you.
All right, let's get some Apple
podcast questions here. I want to thank everybody. You got to get
no, you got to have an we got to end on a better fancy. I don't
have. Yeah, that sucked. You don't have any.
I appreciate you wanting to hear
my opinion, but it's pretty obvious
you don't go by the old rule that
nobody was using. Okay.
Apple podcast.
Thank you to
Seb, Seb,
whatever for this
question in half point PPR.
I give up Ken Walker.
I get Basil Tootin and Nico
Collins. I still have Bijan
Robinson and Bucky Irving. I have neighbors
and Evans. So give up Kenneth Walker
get Tootin and Nico.
I don't hate
it to start. I don't
love it. I love Basil Tootin.
So I know, but Nico scares me, man.
Nico scares me. That's that's the only reason
I don't love this. I think you got to get better than that
for Ken Walker. It seems like
Nico would be better like what you want
in that second part profiles that way.
Yeah, profiles that way, but there's just like no
interest in getting him involved
anymore. I'll say B minus,
but that could change that. And
it could go back to them featuring Nico
like they hope so. If it does, then you then it
then it's a solid and you stole him.
Tootin's amazing. Cowboy
23 says in a dynasty
league in which the Christian McCaffrey
manager was tanking. I
offered a 27 first
round pick for McCaffrey and the offer
was declined. I then referenced
several trade analyzers and they all indicated
that the first was worth more than Christian
McCaffrey. The Christian McCaffrey
manager then said he wanted McCaffrey for
27.
Oh, he wanted McCaffrey for for 2020.
27. So then proposed that he could
have McCaffrey back at the end of the year
as well as keeping my 2027
first. What?
I was very. Oh,
he wants. Okay. He wants
to get to the McCaffrey manager wants to get McCaffrey.
He wants to give up McCaffrey
now for a first round pick and then get McCaffrey
back at the end of the year so we can have him next season.
It's a collusion. Yeah,
that's collusion. That's blatant
trade backs are not legal.
Okay.
He was going to do it.
All right. Yeah, don't do it.
Can't do it. If you're legal allows it,
I guess do it. I don't know. Grade
the trade half PPR
give up Ladd McConkie. Are you
kidding me? Ladd McConkie
and Denzel Boston for Nico Collins.
Yeah, that's easy. Let's do that.
Wish I could make that
terrible from
F1 start to in PPR
James Cook
Ramondre Stevenson
Braylon Allen Jonah Coleman
and
start to yeah cook and
Coleman for me cook and Ramondre
yeah, I'll go cook and Stevenson Coleman's
very close. He asked
how worried we are about James
Cook and tough matchups. He
look, I'm not saying he never struggles in bad
matchups, but he also has huge games. Sometimes
he did matchups. He had a big tough matchup last
week and tough matchups.
I'll say this about cook. The reason he has
Adams, right? He has these huge games and big
matchups is because teams are so constantly
playing too high middle of field
open against the bills at pretty good.
Depth for the safety. So just constantly
he's facing a light box
with that said the Seahawks have been really
good despite playing too high through, you
know, all these shell looks they've been good against
the run because they're D line so good. So
yeah, they are great against the run.
But he's facing this may be
facing the Vikings. Oh, I don't know why
I thought he was facing the Seahawks. I was last week. The way
to run at the Vikings
is to run at the bike. You can run at the
Vikings. That was a bad take for me. You don't
run a little bit more. Don't go wide against them. You go
right up the middle. Yes. Yeah.
Okay, let's go to our Spotify.
questions now
from McKay
grade the
trade not the show
she said McKay said
love the trade grade the love the show
grade the show wow okay I need to leave
love the show grade the trade
12 team redraft PPR
I also just made McKay a girl I don't know
why I did that sorry McKay
give up what if McKay is it must be from the
Netherlands possible
give up Caleb Williams Gentry and
Pickens
Caleb Gentry Pickens
Stafford
I'm really sorry I'm so
distracted
give up Caleb
Williams Ashton Gentry and George Pickens
get Stafford James
Cook and Zay Flowers
no no no
yeah I think I like it
Stafford you're getting the best player
by far who
James Cook yeah
and you're getting Zay Flowers
I think it's a C I think you're
you're just shuffling assets
I guess if Zay Flowers if you trust
Brissette to get Zay Flowers going it's probably
better with the Brissette
I trust it to a degree I think Stafford
is cooked for fantasy I don't think
so his elbow looks
about cooked for fantasy purposes yeah
this is the worst I've seen
him look he's throwing interceptions you've never
seen him throw the
elbow is injured and who knows the
extent of that he's no mobility
he has no receivers who can create any kind of separation
even Puga's not playing Puga style
everything is short there's no verticality
to his game until
Devante Adams is back and even then I'm not
sure I feel
very poor about Stafford moving forward for
fantasy football purposes that's a hot take
no trailing Berks are practicing
oh wow all right from Jackson
or Diami Brown
wow
they need two wide receivers
AD Mitchell Casey Concepcion
and Stefan Diggs
Diggs and
Mitchell yeah
O'Kara Kay out of practice
today
dear Sam Pepper
Harry and Lawrence
no idea
Sam Pepper Harry and Lawrence
yeah I feel like I should get that
oh those are Giants linebackers
oh yeah yeah
yeah wow Adam you should
have got that look at you with your backwards hat
I should have gotten it faster and you should
have gotten even more so because you were actually alive

great the trade I don't know how you knew that
it's Omar is always the wire
yeah if you're Omar you're right they should have done
one without Omar great the trade
PPR I give up Jaden Daniels
and Ramond Ray Stevenson
I get Chris Olave I still

Menon guy and Coleman wow

Sunday morning
super flex question from true red
start Shader Sanders or Joe
Milton oh that's gross
but Milton I go Milton
Adonai
Adonai Mitchell or Antonio Williams
PPO Williams for me
Mitchell with Wilson
Adam wears shoulder pads
he doesn't
but maybe he should
pick two in non PPR what he marks from Andre Stevenson Chuba Hubbard Blake Corum
remandre and Chuba
right yep yeah all right how far does Adonai Mitchell move up with Garrett
Wilson out borderline top 24 guy Chris that's the case yeah Christian Watson
with the injury or Jalen waddle Watson Watson if he plays his Cooper is Omar
Cooper jr. a must start now good match up in the slot I would start him very
similar to Mitchell top borderline top 24 guy yeah with Carson Wentz leading the
offense should I start Jordan Mason instead of Blake Corum I would start
corn I start corn Tyler Algier or Devin Singletary Singletary for me Singletary
unless Scataboo place that was the one I got confused it's Algier who has that
that matchup that really bad Seattle matchup yes yes should I trade racial
tootin for Drake London I pretty interesting I think if you have the depth
that at running back I would do this it's PPR all right we need two in PPR
Adonai Mitchell Devin Singletary Jalen Coker Antonio Williams it's the first
two unless single unless Scataboo plays then I would go with Coker over Singletary
so you like Mitchell better than Coker I do I do yeah okay I'm kind of on the
fence there and Jalen waddle or Antonio Williams waddle for me yeah I'm gonna go
waddle I think Williams has a good chance here but I really like waddle well
