Week 9 Mailbag Q&A! Start/Sit, Waivers & Questions Answered! (11/7 Fantasy Football Podcast)

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.

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 get them in at some point, some of them, while we're on the air. Sunday morning! What are you doing Sunday morning? Join us, won't you? YouTube.com slash fantasy football today at 8.30 a.m. Eastern until 9.30 a.m. Eastern for some starter sit, and then the game will start in Spain. And then at 12.15 until 1 p.m. Eastern we'll have another starter sit episode or stream. It's all at YouTube.com slash fantasy football today 8.30, sorry, 8.30 to 9.30 12.15 to 1 p.m. Eastern answering your questions. 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 are we going to the game on Thursday I'm going are you going I don't know you should go you guys should go but I'd like I'm going with my brother and and uh co-host of the big blue banter podcast will be there too okay yeah you should go bring your hand sanitizer I will I will you know about that Jamie yeah right we know you've told the story 600 times start one I don't think I've told that story that are you so angry today I'm trying to read the question Emmett John when you're you're you haven't eaten breakfast did you I never eat breakfast you're saving up for your big lunch yeah I need to hear more about this big lunch I really do Emmett Johnson you know what you can come with me to lunch because as soon as the show ends I have to leave I'm going to miss it Emmett Johnson you're very angry you know I'm just gonna answer the question for Christopher start Singletary if uh if Scataboo is out which I expect and if not I would start the angriest I've ever seen him Mario Douglas I think this is amazing you did you know you did a one man express this week yeah and you're like oh look at your power hungry he's all flustered I think they read the question oh no we won't let him read the question the shoulders are firing from Andy dear Omar Jimmy Clay and Bubbles the least Omar Jimmy Clay and Bubbles is this the wire yeah those have to be the least broad shoulders you ever seen in your life shoulders there's just no depth of those things is Omar Jimmy Clay and Bubbles the wire yeah yes okay 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 have Burrow Walker Jacob Swift Menon guy and Coleman wow oh yeah easy yeah this is a good trade that running back court that you have that's easy for both for both sides yeah I like this probably yeah see someone offered me Eric Henry and Luther Burden okay Chase Brown and Nico Collins no Henry and Burden for Brown and Collins yeah see we'd rather I think we'd rather be Chase Brown Nico Collins D yeah all right is is Blake Corum for Jonah Coleman fair straight up I think inside I'd rather have Jonah Coleman Coleman to unless they paid for Taylor three minutes of YouTube questions go for a people send in your questions right now remember to join us 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 I don't really like him but I like him a little more than Williams well Adam have a turkey pita or a fruit salad for lunch Oh fruit salad 100% I think I'm going to a fruit salad 100% I think I'm going to a fruit salad 100% I think I'm going to have like a turkey club I don't know I'm have like a turkey club I don't
