Key Discussion Points & Insights

Dan’s Tardiness & Podcast Banter

(02:26–10:34)

• Running joke about Dan missing the earlier-than-usual show start, bringing light energy and banter about group texts, “gaslighting,” and podcast logistics.
• Sets the easy, candid tone that permeates the show.

Quote:

“He’s gonna show up in a panic. He’s going to be pissed off at you, he’s going to be somewhat mad at me, and then he’ll settle in. I’ll be fine.”
— Jamie (03:01)

---

Coaching Hires & Fantasy Impact

Browns Hire Todd Monken (Former Ravens OC)

(04:00–05:52)

• Analyzing Monken’s ability: Successful run games, but now faces “a work in progress” in Cleveland.
• Emphasis on need for talent at WR for a productive passing game.

Quote:

“Monken could have a great system, great offense, great everything. He needs players now…This is very much a work in progress. This team needs a lot of help.”
— Jamie (04:21)

• Adam shares stats: Lamar Jackson improved with Monken as OC (7% TD rate, 8.4 YPA), but Baltimore’s personnel made a difference.

---

Eagles OC: Sean Mannion (not high profile)

(05:52–08:51)

• The staff is “optimistic” but cautious (“TBD”) about the impact.
• Free agents and play-calling uncertainty keep the status of fantasy stars Jalen Hurts, AJ Brown, Saquon Barkley, DeVonta Smith up in the air.
• Jamie is long-term encouraged because “the players are there.”

Quote:

“Jalen Hurts is still a really good fantasy quarterback. The two receivers are still really good. The running back is still really good. The tight end is good. Like, there’s a lot to like here.”
— Jamie (08:50)

---

Bills: Joe Brady Promoted

(11:35–12:28)

• Joe Brady’s promotion is “the best thing that could have happened to Keon Coleman” (Brady’s a supporter).
• Dan sees it as more beneficial to James Cook due to his usage leap “pre- and post-Joe Brady.”

Quote:

“If you look at the stats of James Cook pre and post Joe Brady, it’s basically night and day…him staying there with Buffalo is going to be the biggest thing that could happen.”
— Dan (11:56)

---

Rapid-Fire News Updates

(09:17–10:41)

• Kirk Cousins expected to be released (Falcons new GM hired); debate over Carolina’s 2026 rush leader (Chuba Hubbard?).
• QB pool in Superflex drafts is markedly “fascinating” with early runs on QBs (19 drafted in first 3 rounds in a draft).

---

Mailbag Questions & Analyses

Christian McCaffrey and the “Curse of 400 Touches”

(17:01–24:31)

• Does McCaffrey’s heavy workload (with many receptions, not just carries) worry the analysts?
• Jamie: “Risk is amplified” due to age (turning 30) and mileage. Will still draft as first-rounder, but not as RB1.
• Dan: Even “the biggest McCaffrey truther” is uneasy. Says team context (OL collapse, O changes) matters as much as workload.
• Adam: Compounds with examples—Le’Veon Bell and Zeke Elliott handled high volume, but CMC’s age is concerning.

Notable Quotes:

“If you’re drafting McCaffrey, you have to make the investment in his backup, whoever that may be…if McCaffrey plays 8+ games, you should be okay.”
— Jamie (19:22)

“I will have no concern at all with him scoring a lot of points if he’s on the field. Be it based on the receptions, no concern.”
— Dan (23:55)

---

Wide Receiver Busts: DJ Moore, Brian Thomas Jr., Marvin Harrison Jr., Jerry Jeudy

(24:31–32:31)

• Discussion: Are these busts about scheme, quarterbacks, or just volume?
• Dan: Busts have individual causes—slow starts, poor QB connections, wrong system fits, or being “outplayed” (ex. Michael Wilson over Harrison).
• Jamie: “Target volume disappeared” for most; system fit issues for Thomas.
• Adam: Target-per-route-run rates are alarmingly low for all discussed WRs; tends to separate true fantasy WR2s from disappointments.
• Dan: Fewer slot routes and more 12/13 personnel means fewer targets to go around.

Notable Quotes:

“If you’re playing on the boundary and your quarterback isn’t hitting the routes that you need…then it’s going to be a problem for you in fantasy.”
— Dan (31:41)

---

Jamie’s NFL Fandom

(32:48–35:11)

• Jamie grew up a Dolphins fan, but journalism “beat the fandom out.” (Press box “fist pumps” hidden).
• Modern kids gravitate to players over teams.

Quote:

“I would like to root for an NFL team again, but I just don’t see it happening.”
— Jamie (35:11)

---

Most Important Fantasy Leagues

(36:19–39:10)

• Dan: Home league since 2006, auction format, strongest attachment.
• Jamie: Several leagues, oldest college friends, softball buddies, “most expensive league.”
• Adam: “Softball league” (most expensive) is the one he checks first.

Quote:

“That’s a good barometer: which score do you check first?”
— Dan (38:22)

---

Fantasy Data Sources—How Adam Compiles His Stats

(41:09–44:18)

• Adam uses True Media, Pro Football Reference, notes—explains the “Aizer stat.”

Quick Quote:

“The Aizer stat comes where you have to look at like, okay, which game do they leave early? And then I have to manually do it.”
— Adam (42:44)

---

Dynasty & Keeper Leagues: Hampton vs. Lamb & Neighbors

(44:18–46:19)

• Amari Hampton’s outlook with Mike McDaniel in Miami: Could be a top-5 RB, but the hosts would “not keep him over CeeDee Lamb.”
• Dan: Is Hampton really the “De’Von Achane” some expect? “He was not Achane as a receiver.”

---

Heads or Tails?

(46:30–47:18)

• Dan’s process: “Tails never fails,” but only if you pick and stick for life.

“Pick your tails or your heads and stick with it…” — Dan (47:15)

---

Rapid Fire: Isaiah Likely, Giants, and TE Destinations

(47:25–48:27)

• Discussion about Isaiah Likely’s best fantasy landing spot, with Harbaugh in New York as a possible intrigue.

---

Super Bowl DFS/Matchups

(48:27–50:00)

• Early takes: Tough matchups, but “Walker and JSN” are consensus starts if forced. Hunter Henry may be a sleeper due to coach’s tendency to throw to TEs.

---

Fun Segment Highlights:

• Favorite Chain Restaurants
  • Chili’s and Chipotle get positive mentions; lively debate about national chains vs. local, and lamenting the decline of “Jersey Mike’s.”
• Guilty Pleasure Movies
  • Picks range from “Parenthood,” “Matrix,” and “Rounders,” with lots of movie nostalgia (58:17–59:50).
• Cartoons
  • “GI Joe” (Jamie, Dan), “Tom and Jerry” (Adam), “Hey Arnold,” “Rugrats,” “Pinky and the Brain.” (61:00–62:57)

Final Thoughts

This episode delivered the trademark FFT blend of actionable fantasy advice, sharp debate, and relatable life/league banter. The main takeaways:

• Key coaching hires reshape early fantasy perceptions, but the hosts urge caution until more dominoes fall (free agency/drafting).
• Top RBs with massive touch counts—especially as they approach 30—carry real risk, but context and role can override “curse” narratives.
• WR busts in 2025 were mainly about declining target volume, poor team fit, or diminished slot roles in evolving NFL offenses.
• League culture, history, and nostalgia run deep in the FFT crowd—and so does their fandom (or disavowal of it).

The show closes with a string of rapid-fire, off-topic questions about food, film, and cartoons—a reminder that fantasy football’s best communities embrace both serious analysis and shared joy.

[Narrator/Advertiser 1]

You're checking matchups, tweaking your fantasy roster, reliving big plays, arguing calls. Football lives rent free in your head all week long.

[Narrator/Advertiser 2]

And when the game's on, every decision matters. A winning play or the right timeout. Just 60 seconds can flip the entire outcome.

[Narrator/Advertiser 1]

But here's the thing. Off the field, we forget to plan.

[Narrator/Advertiser 2]

We get so caught up in the pregame hype the food, the drinks, the vibe. And forget the most important part of the day, how you're getting home.

[Adam]

This is Fantasy Football Today from CBS Sports.

[Dan]

What a play. Can you believe this? No, I can't.

[Adam]

It's time to dominate your fantasy league.

[Dan]

Off to the races and he's.

[Adam]

He's on his feet.

[Dan]

This is gonna go the distance.

[Adam]

Now here's some combination of Adam, Dave, Jamie and Heath. It's mailbag time. Welcome to the Show. It's fantasy Football Today on Friday, January 30th. And this is Fantasy Football Today, presented by BetMGM. Make it legendary. First question of the day, will Dan show up? Jay? I'm thinking yes. I'm thinking at some point he's gonna show up and he's gonna say, well, nobody told me what time the show was, and I thought it was at 12 like it usually is. And he's gonna have a decent excuse here. But Jamie, do you think he'll show up?

[Jamie]

I do. I think he's going to show up in a panic. He's going to be pissed off at you, he's going to be somewhat mad at me, and then he'll settle in. I'll be fine.

[Adam]

Yeah. Nobody told me what time it was. Am I just supposed to guess? Just supposed to know that it's at 10 o'? Clock? Yeah. Usually the mailbag, the Friday mailbags were at noon, but today we did it at 10. But we never told them the time. So we tried calling him. It went straight to voicemail. Is he sleeping? You know, just a lot of mysteries right now with Dan, but we're hoping to get him. We do have news and notes. We have your emails@fantasy footballbsi.com and we've got some tweets as well. Someone asked us what cartoons we watched when we grew up, so we'll answer stuff like that. But mostly football. And speaking of football, Drake May does have a shoulder injury, but Mike Vrabel doesn't think Drake May will be limited by his shoulder injury in the Super Bowl. Of course, in if he did think that, he wouldn't tell us that. But for what it's worth, they're downplaying the shoulder injury. All right. Oh, I know where Dan is. He is spiraling. I've been on a group text with him once the Browns hired Todd Monken. Spiraling. Oh, the Giants. Who are they going to have as their offensive coordinator? This and that. So he is struggling right now. But the Browns did hire, not fire, they did hire former Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken to be their new head coach. And what do you think about that, Jamie?

[Jamie]

I think it comes down to the Jimmies and Joes versus the X's and O's. So Monkin could have a great system, great offense, great everything. He needs players now. I think the one thing that you look at is obviously wherever he's been, he's done a good job with his run game. A lot of that had to do with the running backs were specifically in Baltimore, you know, you have Derrick Henry, things are going to go well for you. But I think this is a good thing for Quinchon Judkins. If he gets a quarterback in place, then I think we can, you know, say there's a chance for this passing game to be good. I know he's got a Pro bowl quarterback and shoulder Sanders, but a lot of work to be done there. Need some, need some, need some better pass catchers to help Harold Fannin and hopefully still Jerry Judy. But this is very much a work in progress. This team needs a lot of help.

[Adam]

Todd Monkin was the offensive coordinator for three seasons for Baltimore. In those three seasons, Lamar Jackson completed two thirds of his passes, had a 7% touchdown rate and averaged 8.4 yards per attempt. The completion rate is whatever, but 7% touchdown rate, 8.4 yards per attempt. Unbelievable.

[Jamie]

But that's also Lamar Jackson.

[Adam]

Well, his first five seasons in the league. You know what, let's eliminate his rookie year. Let's just look at the four seasons before the Monken. He had a 6.4 touchdown rate. He averaged 7.4 yards per attempt. A full yard per attempt. Worse.

[Jamie]

Yeah. I mean, again, you get great players, you're going to make them better if you're a good coach. Yeah, he doesn't necessarily have great players right now. That's the unfortunate.

[Adam]

The Eagles hired Packers quarterbacks coach Sean Manion to be their offensive coordinator. We don't know who's going to call plays. Sirianni called plays in 2021 with the Eagles and then he stopped and he never did it. He never took it. I don't think he took it back. If he did, it was short term. So what do you think of this Eagles going with a name? I don't think we were expecting packers quarterbacks coach Sean Manion as their offensive coordinator.

[Jamie]

I mean, look, you hope that he, you know, comes from a good place and clearly the, the Green Bay offense has been solid again. He's got good pieces to work with. You know, really the, the big question mark right now is the next domino. Is A.J. brown staying or is A.J. brown going? I think we could all say you're still going to draft the Eagles players in a relative similar range to where they were even going last year. You know, we've seen in the three drafts so far, Barkley slips a little bit. AJ Brown slips a little bit. Devonte Smith slips a little bit. Jalen Hurt slips a little bit. But you're still drafting them for the majority of of the group, including Dallas Goddard as as starters or borderline starters. I don't think this necessarily enhances that, you know, so it's. It's still, you know, tbd. Oh, we got a text from Dan.

[Adam]

Yeah, he thought it started at noon. I am so confused. The original text. Schaefer, did you chatgpt this?

[Narrator/Advertiser 2]

I use grok, and I put.

[Adam]

I said, keep this text exactly the same.

[Jamie]

Just add 10am so now I'm gaslighting Dan.

[Adam]

All right, here's what I originally. Originally, I didn't have the time when I asked him to be on the podcast. That's amazing. All right, so Thomas sent the group text a few days ago to me, Jamie and Dan, and he said, hey, Jamie and Dan, are you guys available for a Friday mailbag this week? That's all it said. Jamie said, yes. Dan said, I am. Then this morning, because Jamie texted me asking for the time this morning. I texted the group, 10am start. F. FYI. And then we never got a hold of Dan. And then Thomas, we're calling him, we're texting him. JB says, dan, where are you? Thomas sends a screenshot of the group chat, except he. He adds the time 10am which he never originally put. And he says that to Dan, and Dan says, sorry, guys, I thought we were doing noon. I totally messed up now, I realize, but is he coming on or what?

[Jamie]

Had to jump in the shower, fix his hair. Yeah.

[Adam]

Come on, let's go, Dan.

[Jamie]

All right, Barrel up his chest.

[Adam]

That's Philadelphia. So right now, what's your level of optimism for the Eagles offense, scale of 1 to 10?

[Jamie]

I mean, they finally have somebody. You know, it seems as if everybody was turning this job down, or at least not, you know, getting the job. I don't. You know, you never know. If they just said, okay, we weren't interested in the people that they were interviewing. I. I'm. I. I was always kind of optimistic. You know, you. You said this yesterday or whenever we did our bounce back show. You know, the three offenses that you were, you know, encouraged by doing better in 2026, this was one of them. They have really good players.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Jamie]

Jalen Hurts is still a really good fantasy quarterback. The two receivers are still really good. The running back is still really good. The tight end is good. Like, there's a lot to like here. So, yes, I'm. I'm encouraged. Okay.

[Adam]

Dan said he's gonna hop on now. I was so used to noon, I didn't even check this okay response.

[Jamie]

Maybe he's struggling to peel off his nose. The strip he's looking for a Schmedium shirt.

[Adam]

What do we got? Kirk Cousins expected to be released. The Falcons, by the way, hired a new gm, Ian Cunningham, who was the assistant GM for the Bears for four seasons. So Cousins expected to be released and stay in the afc. South Carolina running back Jonathan Brooks is hopeful to be ready for minicamp, but not certain about that.

[Jamie]

Who's a three pointer at a Hornets in warm ups?

[Adam]

Hey, who. Who leads the Panthers in rushing in this 2026?

[Jamie]

I'm going to say Chuba just because I don't know if Rico's back. I will say that just with the Kirk Cousins news item that you mentioned, doing the Super Flex draft, it's very fascinating to see the quarterback pool and what that will be next year. There he is. Just when did we not do this?

[Dan]

At noon?

[Adam]

Very Clearly. It said 10:00am in the text.

[Dan]

I am really struggling in this off season here.

[Adam]

I think your mic settings are wrong too.

[Dan]

Mic settings are off. I'm sick.

[Adam]

I'm not sure about that. Oh, you're sick again. You're always sick again.

[Dan]

The mic settings are off for some reason. My mic isn't even on. This is even worse. My mic isn't even registering. I need to go out of here. I'll be back. There he is.

[Adam]

Hey, thanks for coming on, Dan.

[Jamie]

Let's see your experience, folks.

[Adam]

Oh, my gosh. All right. Were you done with Cousins?

[Jamie]

Whatever. The quarterback pool is going to be fascinating to see, like where some of these guys end up. Cousins, Tua, Kyler, if he's let go. Rogers if he decides to play and leaves Pittsburgh. Like, there's a lot of moving parts for some of these veterans and it's going to be interesting for Super Flexi. So we had. I don't know if we'll review the draft again, but we had 19 quarterbacks drafted in the first three rounds.

[Adam]

Oh, wow.

[Jamie]

I made four rounds.

[Dan]

Oh, hey, the mic's back. What happened there? Mike's broken. Got all sorts of issues today.

[Adam]

This is one of your greatest hits, buddy.

[Dan]

This is one of my worst hits, but it's okay. How you guys doing today?

[Narrator/Advertiser 1]

Good.

[Adam]

Doing well.

[Dan]

What happened to the noon start time?

[Jamie]

It's the.

[Dan]

It's the off season. I gotta get my act together.

[Adam]

Yeah, that's okay.

[Jamie]

We do it at noon in the regular season to wait for some news.

[Adam]

Yeah, you want some stories?

[Dan]

No, I just got one story.

[Adam]

What's it about?

[Dan]

It's about a concert I was at recently.

[Adam]

Okay, well, we'll save it. We'll save it For a little later. Joe Brady, new coach of the Bills. He said he was one of the ones who stood on the table for Keon Coleman and that his promotion to head coach is the best thing that could have happened to Keon Coleman. So Joe Brady is a Coleman guy?

[Dan]

I think it's the best thing that could happen to James Cook. I was very nervous about James Cook. If you look at the stats of James Cook pre and post Joe Brady, it's basically night and day. So him staying there with Buffalo is going to be the biggest thing that could happen.

[Jamie]

Wasn't free Joe Brady just his rookie season?

[Dan]

No. Is. Was it just his rookie season? It might have been.

[Adam]

Well, Brady took over halfway through the 2023 season.

[Dan]

Yeah, I don't know if that's what you were just it's a certain amount of games with Joe Brady and without Joe Brady, it's a totally different. The volume is like night and day.

[Adam]

You know the difference between night and day. Night is when we sleep. Day is when we work.

[Dan]

Just say, well, sometimes you can't sleep at night and your alarm just doesn't go off and you have a bad day. Everyone's had a bad day here, in there, here and there. Not, not. Not here. Here is just me.

[Jamie]

Yeah.

[Adam]

That's about to be a great day. Yeah.

[Dan]

I was also uninformed. I did actually think that we were doing this.

[Jamie]

I mean, Thomas had the. The text pretty clear.

[Dan]

10:00Am Well, I just saw Are we in for Mailbag? We haven't done a mailbag in a month. And then after that, Adam said 10:00am start and I just didn't check back.

[Adam]

Look at the screenshot that Thomas just sent you.

[Dan]

No. And then I did realize I just saw Mailbag and I was so excited I just said yes in. I didn't even read the rest of the text. This is on me now.

[Adam]

We should tell you that Thomas did not include that in the original text. He photoshopped, but he like altered the text when he said okay. So it was not really a little.

[Dan]

Less bad, but still should have been on more on top of this.

[Adam]

Was it your fault? Josh Allen had surgery for a broken bone in his foot. He said he'll be back. For OTAs and football fans, picture this. You bet on your favorite player to score the first touchdown in the game, but his teammate scores instead. Bummer. But if this happens, BET MGM wants to give you another chance at the end zone with BetMGM second chance promotion. You'll get your stake back if your first touchdown scorer scores. Second instead. That's right. Bet on any pro football player to score the first touchdown of the game. If you're right, you win. If your player scores second, you get your stake back in cash. With BetMGM Second Chance offer, you have a chance to keep the fun going after the first player crosses the goal line. Try a first touchdown scorer wager with confidence today. Bet mgm make it legendary. Dan you did you not get sleep last night because you the Giants still don't have an offensive coordinator for the.

[Dan]

Giants offensive quarter situation? No Todd Monken? No. I don't know. I got to get my sleep back on track. I was doing great for for a little while and now we've fallen off the wagon. So I don't know what it is. I think it's also because I'm a little sick.

[Adam]

The sickness with this guy Jim Bob Cooter.

[Jamie]

You're gonna get Jim Bob Cooter.

[Dan]

I feel like I've become you. I said so much about how often you were sick, Adam, that it's like a curse that's been put upon me. Yep.

[Adam]

All right, we're gonna take a break and we're gonna read your emails@fantasy footballbsi.com we're going to talk about Christian McCaffrey and the curse of 400 touches after this.

[Adam]

Download today so email from Paul Paul says everyone knows the stats about our running back getting 400 touches and not being able to repeat the next season. How many of the previous running backs would have also been wide receiver ones the way that Christian McCaffrey was this past season? And does that affect your opinion on his draft position this year? I think the the gist of it is, well, I don't know. There's two things to it. Like obviously Christian McCaffrey incredible season with the receptions, but he didn't have quite as many carries as some of the guys who are in the 400 Touch Club. Saquon Barkley Last year, including the playoffs, Barkley had 436 carries. Christian McCaffrey had 337. He had 99 fewer carries than Barkley, including postseason. So Jamie, when we factor that in and there is a typical drop off of running backs who have 400 touches, including Christian McCaffrey twice. This is his third time with 400 touches. The previous two times he played three games and four games the following year. But does the does the allocation of touches between rushing and passing or receiving rather matter to you?

[Jamie]

So the beginning of this real study was from Football Outsiders and it was the curse of 370 and 370, meaning the carries. And that's typically in the regular season. At least that's what the initial study was. So what we've seen from McCaffrey is obviously different. The fact that we're two years removed from this or a year removed from this, you know, depending on whatever time frame you want to attach to it. 2023, he had over 400 total touches. 2024, he plays four games, he's now going to be 30. And so the risk is amplified even more. I'm very curious. Whatever study they're going to find with this electromagnetic waves that are coming, the power plant near the practice facility, you know, if that has any merit to it, I doubt it. But in any event, you know, you're talking about an older player, a lot of work. I'm gonna have the same feelings about McCaffrey that I had about Barkley. And it was around this time that I started to bring it up, you know, that you have to be concerned about players as they get older with a lot of mileage on their body. Now Derrick Henry has obviously proven that wrong. And two years ago we had these 30 year old running backs that all did fairly well. Aaron Jones was one. Trying to think McCaffrey was or 20, 28 plus year old run, I shouldn't say a third. Henry was one, Aaron Jones was one, Alvin Camaro was one. You know, they all had good seasons, they had their hiccups along the way. Jones missed some time, Camara didn't finish the year. I think if you're drafting McCaffrey, you have to make the investment in his backup, whoever that may be. Remember, Brian Robinson is a free agent now, so it could be we're back to Isaac Arando again or they could add another running back. But I think that's if you just want to make the investment in the 49ers backfield, knowing that the number two guy, whenever he's been the number two guy, you know, Garendo for that stretch in 2023, excuse me, 2024, throughout the years, Jeff Wilson and Raheem Mostert and all these other guys that have stepped up, I think you'll hopefully get good replacement value. You won't get McCaffrey replacement value, but if McCaffrey plays eight plus games, 10 plus games, you know, and doesn't miss 15, 14, you know, then you should be okay. So I'm still going to have him ranked as a first round pick. I'm not going to tout him as a top five overall pick. I'm not going to certainly tout him as a number one running back. But I'll have him in a similar situation that had Barkley, which is a back end of round one selection as.

[Dan]

The resident Christian McCaffrey Truth are here. I feel like I have to at least rebuttal that considering I had him ranked RB1 this year going into this year, I even feel a little bit queasy about taking him. We just did our superplex. I don't know if you talked about this earlier, Jamie, but he was just.

[Jamie]

Sitting on the whole show before you showed up.

[Dan]

Yeah, I know that. I know that much. But I don't know if you talk about this specifically. He was just sitting on the board in our super Flex draft picks were rolling by and I get the feeling it's gonna be like that in a lot of drafts this year, even for people like me who believe in him and believed in ranking him one for a reason. But did it coming off a year where he wasn't, you know, he didn't have a lot of touches last year. Now coming off the year where he did have touches, it's a little different. I just feel also like if you look at these situations individually, are we like saying Barkley didn't do well this year in fantasy because of the touches, Are we saying Barkley didn't do well because the Eagles offensive line completely collapsed? They were injured all year, there was nowhere to go. His yards before contact plummeted this year just absolutely plummeted. And he's a different kind of back. He's a back who relies on yards for contact. Even if you look at his time with the Giants, like he needs that little bit of space so he can cut and go. He's an explosive back, Barkley. So I almost feel like. And he was never getting receptions with the Eagles. I almost feel like that was a bigger reason for his collapse and the touches the year before. I don't know how much of a drop off he had athletically or anything like that. But with that said, McCaffrey's older than Barkley was going into this year and that also factors in as well. What are we at with McAfee now? Is he on the wrong side of 30 yet? I know he's up.

[Jamie]

He turns 30 this summer.

[Dan]

Right. So that's another factor in this too.

[Adam]

I think maybe if there's a. I.

[Jamie]

Think the one thing with just Barkley and I, I, I, I know, you know, Dave also had similar feelings about Barkley with the touches. For me, it was also the 2000 yard season and.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Jamie]

And what that historically has been also. Adam, do you have Barclays stats in front of you? I was trying to pull it up. Yeah.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Jamie]

What do you rush for this year?

[Adam]

Yeah, no, I don't have those stats. I'm sorry. I have this like points per game. The difference between the year before. Okay. This year he rushed for 1140 yards.

[Jamie]

So that again, track record continues. I think just the, the point. I mean, what I mean by that is every 2000 yard rusher had a 500 yard decline or more. Wow. So to your point, Dan, about athletically losing something any. You know, Adam brought this up a few times. Like when he got an open space, you still saw the speed, so it all kind of works together. You know, I, I think anytime you have success from that position, clearly it's the offensive line working well, it's the offense working well, it's the quarterback working well. And you look at the 49ers right now, they're probably going to be without one of their best blockers and George Kittle to start the season. Who knows what Trent Williams true where he's at physically. This offensive line is continuing to retool itself. And I think as we see with this receiving core, there's going to be a lot of changes because Brandon IU gone, Juwan Jennings may be gone. Ricky Piersoll, can you ever count on him? So there's a lot of stuff that's, you know, moving parts here for the 49ers. I think if McCaffrey stays healthy, he's going to be fantastic. But will he stay healthy? Will he be the same guy? And I think if you're just understanding that, okay, am I getting an 18 point per game guy, am I getting a 15 point per game guy and am I getting a guy that's going to miss time, you know, so wherever you have the sliding scale, I think is where your comfort factor will come in with him.

[Dan]

I'll say this, I'll go as far as saying this just to wrap it up. I will have no concern at all with him scoring a lot of points if he's on the field. Be it based on the receptions, no.

[Adam]

Concern if you want to be encouraged. I think one guy you could compare him to would be Le'Veon Bell. Le'Veon Bell in 2016 had 405 touches, McCaffrey just had 450, Le'Veon Bell had 326 carries, McCaffrey had 337, Bell had 79 catches, and McCaffrey this year had 113 catches. What Le'Veon Bell do the next year he was worse, but he had another 400 touch season and he was RB2 per game.

[Dan]

But he was like in his early 20s, right?

[Adam]

The age is much different. Ezekiel Elliott's another guy. 2018, he was RB. He's actually RB6 per game, averaging over 22 points per game, which is insane. Usually that's like RB1. The following year he averaged 2.4 fewer points per game, but still almost 20 points per game. He was RB6 again. So there, there are examples of guys who have followed up 400 touch seasons with really, really good years. Unfortunately There are Christian McCaffrey twice who followed up 400 touch seasons with three and four game seasons. All right, next question comes from WDF and he says, reflecting on the season, wondering why certain underperforming wide receivers were busts. Basically there are many, but I'm specifically, specifically thinking of D.J. moore, Brian Thomas Jr. Marvin Harrison Jr. And Jerry Judy. You know, and he's just, he's kind of asking is it schematically like what is the reason why these wide receivers were bad? Did Brian Thomas Jr not fit into Liam Cohen's system? Did DJ Moore not fit into Ben Johnson's system? So he gave these four specifically. You can focus on whoever you want or just the general question, but Daniel, DJ Moore, Brian Thomas Jr. Marvin Harrison Jr. Jerry Judy, what do you think was. Was the. Were the reasons for these bus seasons?

[Dan]

I could just do quick for. I think they're all individually different. Dj Moore. It was an issue of not, I don't think him fitting into the system. I think it was issue of that system taking a long time to get going from a passing standpoint. Once it got going at the end, it was hard to predict who was going to get the bulk of anything. It was typically Loveland, sometimes Burden and more had some big plays. Marvin Harrison Jr. Injuries and then not clicking with the quarterback even though Michael Wilson was able to. Very interesting situation. I think you could genuinely say if you watch the Cardinal tape because that's what Jake Jacob I watched a lot of Cardinals tape. Michael Wilson was a better receiver than Marvin Harrison Jr. It's not really, it's not really even debatable on tape. Michael Wilson tempos his routes. Michael Wilson doesn't declare his routes. Michael Wilson is more explosive getting in and out of his breaks. He was the better receiver at getting open, so that's why he got the ball. And the what were the other two examples there?

[Adam]

Brian Thomas Jr. And Brian Thomas Jr.

[Dan]

Was hurt and just did not play good football. Was the other one Jerry Judy. And then Jerry Judy had Dylan Gabriel and Shador Sanders. They had the two. They combined for the two lowest combination of EPA and cpoe. Completion percentage over expectation. The two worst quarterbacks in the NFL by those numbers. So they just. You can't succeed. I mean, Jerry Judy may not be a good player too, but you can't succeed with that kind of quarterback play.

[Jamie]

I think in the case for Judy and more, and maybe even Thomas, a lot of it was the target volume disappeared, you know, and so, yeah, you know, that, that was a big part of, I think their, their failures. The one with Marvin Harrison, I don't know if I necessarily agree with not connecting with the quarterbacks. I don't think he really had time to connect with Brissette because of the injuries. And so I don't disagree. I think Wilson definitely showed that he was the better receiver. But I think that also comes with being a more established guy in the league and understanding things a little bit more than, than Marvin Harrison did. Because when Harrison was healthy, he was still the guy getting fed. And when he got fed, he actually produced. And so, yeah, I think, you know, if you want to just take the easiest way to explain it fantasy wise, is target volume, you know, and, and that's the biggest thing. Like whenever these guys have gotten targets in their careers, Jerry duty especially, you know, you go back to 2024, he was finally getting targeted and he was great. And so, you know, DJ Moore was a byproduct of, like you said, Dan, slow start. And then, oh, here's loved ones time, here's Burden's time. In the beginning it was Odunze's time, you know, so it was just. I think all these guys really struggle to get the same amount of volume that they've had in previous year or years. And in the case of Thomas, I think that was the answer, that he did not fit into Liam Cohen's system. Which is why you have to be a little bit nervous about him next year knowing that they added somebody else mid season. We don't know yet fully what Travis Hunter's role is going to be. And now Parker Washington has emerged as this guy that Trevor Lawrence seems to love. So you're competing now with four or five guys, you know, depending on how you feel about Brent Strange.

[Dan]

Yeah, is also that. Sorry, go ahead.

[Adam]

No, these guys have had target problems. Marvin Harrison Jr. His entire career. So far. His target per hour Runway run rate, excuse me, 21.5 as a rookie, 19.1% in his second season, 19.1%, like that's just not good.

[Jamie]

What is that with percent in those games?

[Adam]

You know what? Here's. Here's what I have. Michael Wilson emerged in weeks 11 and 12. Before that there were four games. All right, here's what I. Okay, here we go.

[Jamie]

Ready?

[Adam]

This is the season for Marvin Harrison. His first five games of the year with Kyler Murray, he had 32 targets. He was on pace for 1,040 yards, seven touchdowns and 109 targets. Not good enough. His next four games with Jacoby Brissette, he had 35 targets. I don't know what his target per out run rate was. Brissette was obviously throwing the ball attack.

[Jamie]

One of the. Or he left early one of them.

[Adam]

That was right. His next four games with Brissette, I did not count. I know I did count. The Bucks game where he left early with an injury, played 61% of the snaps and was having a good game. Six catches, 69 yards on seven targets in about three quarters. But he was on pace for 149 targets in those four games with Brissette, he left one of those games early. His last two games, you know, he left both of them early. He got three targets in those two games. But then I saw this, right? So Michael Wilson, he emerged in weeks 11 and 12. From that point on, Marvin Harrison Jr. Played in only three games. And in those three games when Marvin Harrison Jr. Was on the field, this was really interesting. Marvin Harrison Jr. Trey McBride and Michael Wilson all had 10 to 11 targets. It's very small sample size, but nobody really stood out, including McBride in three games. In those last three games for Marvin Harrison Jr. When he was on the field, because he didn't play that much in any of them. But they all had 10 to 11 targets. They all had a target per hour run rate of basically 18% to 19%. But yes, Marvin Harrison Jr. Has never drawn a lot of targets, at least so far in his career. DJ Moore had a 15.3% target per out run rate, which is pathetic, and a 16 target share. I don't know that it was necessarily his fault. It just. Caleb did not look to him. And Brian Thomas Jr. Is another guy. His target per hour run rate went from 25.5% as a rookie to 19.4% as a sophomore. You, I think you really want to see it around 22% or higher if you're going to be a reliable top 24 kind of wide receiver.

[Jamie]

And I would Imagine for Thomas, it really spiked in those final 10 games or so when Mac Jones was there and everybody was hurt.

[Dan]

And then I think the met. The meta of it is we've seen lately, you know, throughout the last two, three years of football, teams are running the ball more. They're getting lighter boxes. They're running to and they're choosing to run. But also teams are starting to use more 12 personnel and 21 personnel and even 13 personnel. The giant. There have been a few teams that have leaned on 13, which is three tight ends in receiver. All of these things mean spread out targets, different players getting targets. Also if you mention those four receivers, they all share something in common.

[Jamie]

They run very few routes.

[Dan]

And you could correct me on this with an azer stat or a true stat if it's wrong, but I'm pretty sure just from watching football this is right. All four of those guys we mentioned run very few routes out of the slot. They're all isolated boundary receivers. And that's always something that can get lost in an offense. If you're playing on the boundary and your quarterback is not somebody who's going to hit a backside dig or who's going to throw the type of routes that you need to work on the boundary and it gets kind of volume on the boundary. I don't think any of those four quarterbacks did. Then it's going to be a problem for you in fantasy. And you saw it. You just mentioned all those target shares. They were insanely loved. Judy, you know, all through one, one.

[Jamie]

Guy did and we just didn't see Harrison play with him a lot.

[Adam]

Yeah, and the Cardinals were fourth in highest rate of three tight end sets.

[Dan]

Right.

[Adam]

More than two tight ends and the Bears were sixth. All right, next question.

[Jamie]

I'll say this just about Harrison. I'm going to draft him a lot. If the right coach is there and we get a pocket passer, if it's Kyler again, I'm out. But if it's even Brissette is the bridge quarterback. I'm going to be very in on Marvin Harrison.

[Dan]

Jeff, that'll be me for Michael Wilson. Okay, we'll be, we'll be at ends there.

[Adam]

Jeff from Charlotte wants to know if Jamie has a favorite NFL team.

[Jamie]

I did. So I grew up a Dolphins fan. Was a Dolphins fan probably from the time I was I think six till through college. My first job out of college. So when I was in journalism school, they really drilled into our heads. You cannot to be fans of the team that you cover. And so obviously I was at the University of Florida. I was a fan of the Gators. They made us lose our fandom or try to lose our fandom. And so when I became a professional journalist and was covering the Dolphins, my first newspaper was a very small one called the Boca Raton News. And then I worked at the Palm Beach Post, so I was covering the Dolphins a lot. And I'll remember. I. I remember the, the first. The first season I covered was Dan Marino's last season. And so being the, you know, biggest Dan Marino fan growing up, that was hard to do. And I, I remember there was one game, this was actually a fantasy thing, but it was Dolphins related. I was in the far corner of the press box where. Where my seat was, and the Dolphins were in that end zone on the other end. And I had Randy McMichael, tight end of the Dolphins, on my fantasy team, and he scored a touchdown. And I remember this exact thing happened. I did this when he scored a touchdown, and I did this so that nobody.

[Adam]

So that was a fist pump for the touchdown and then hide the fist pump pub after.

[Jamie]

Yeah, yeah, yep. So it was very difficult to. To lose that. I think if they. And, and just being transparent, if they were successful, you know, it would have been probably easier to root for them as poorly as they played. It's been easy to, you know, not have that fandom. And I was hoping when my kids were born that they would, you know, pick a team or associate themselves with team. They just haven't. I think that's kind of natural for kids these days that they, you know, see players everywhere. You know, like when I grew up, obviously, you know, I think you guys are somewhat similar. Even though I'm. I'm older than both of you, you know, you. You rooted for the team that you saw all the time, you know, and so I didn't have a basketball team, and there was no basketball team in South Florida. I grew up Lakers fan because all I saw was Lakers, Celtics, and I love Magic Johnson. The first baseball team I rooted for was the Mets because there were no Marlins. You know, so the, the teams that you saw, you kind of, you know, gravitated towards. So I, I would like to root for an NFL team again, but I just don't see it happening, most likely.

[Adam]

Okay, next question.

[Dan]

If you were to. What team would you pick?

[Adam]

I muted you for a reason, Dan.

[Dan]

I thought it was because my mic was.

[Adam]

No, it's because we're taking 10 minutes on every question. We have so many. But that is a good question. If you were going to root for another table, who would it be?

[Jamie]

I don't know. That's a great question. I really don't know.

[Adam]

All right, well, you can root for the Giants with us. That's fine. This is whatever.

[Dan]

He would never pick the Giants. He wants to troll us. That's the.

[Jamie]

I, I will say watching, Watching fans, watching my friends as fans. Like, Dave will get mad at me for saying this, but like he used to do these bear down meetings in the office with a couple of co workers and I was, I wanted to vomit seeing my friends and how they get all emotional over, over their, you know, teams losing. I feel bad for them, you know, like, I'm glad I don't have that anymore. Yeah, I used to Pete so Yanovich. Every field goal I would leave the room as a kid.

[Adam]

Wasn't he good? I thought he was really good.

[Jamie]

He was great. But I couldn't watch it. Like I was like, he's gonna miss, he's gonna miss. He's gonna. And this is when like 40 yard field goals were difficult. Now that you know 60, it's like a tough one.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Jamie]

All right.

[Adam]

This one's from Wesley. Dear Tank, Cadillac, Peyton and Carry On.

[Dan]

All Johnsons.

[Adam]

Are they all Auburn? Oh, I don't think so. No. Johnson, Auburn, Tank, Tank.

[Dan]

Oh, Brandon Jacobs.

[Adam]

Did he say no, no one said Brandon Jacobs. Where, like where did you get Brandon Jacobs from?

[Dan]

Auburn. He was at Auburn for a little while before transfer.

[Jamie]

Give me the names again.

[Adam]

Tank, Cadillac, Peyton and Carry On.

[Jamie]

Tank, Cadillac, Peyton and Carry On. I think one year wonders maybe.

[Adam]

Yeah, everyone has that one league that is most important to them. The one that they are about, the one they care about most for bragging rights, prize pool and legacy. What is the most league to the FFT mailbag crew and why?

[Dan]

I mean, for me it's not even close. It's my home league. My home league. We started an auction draft which at the time not a lot of people were doing. In 2000, the 2006, seven season. I was a junior in high school and to this day I think we're in year 19. We, it was a keeper auction league. We've gotten rid of keeper because there's too many problems with it to this day I think all or one more. So there's 12 members. Seven are still original members. We've replaced five teams. But to this day it goes strong. The group chat's amazing, the emails are amazing. There's fights, there's drama, there's all sorts of things. It's not Even my most expensive buying league. But it's by far and away the one I care about the most.

[Adam]

Jamie.

[Jamie]

I have three like that. One's my oldest running league, which is friends from college. One that I. Guys, I used to play softball with some former co workers. Nobody that was ever on air with us, I think, but former co workers that I used to play softball with. And then one that is my most expensive one. I just get, you know, excited about that one just because I like to win it. But those will be the three that I pay them. I should say pay the most. Those would be the three that like, I. I check the scores first.

[Adam]

Okay, man. For me, that's a good way to.

[Dan]

That's a good barometer. For which score do you check first?

[Jamie]

Yeah, that.

[Dan]

I think that's the way to know.

[Adam]

Did we show this one yet? Johnny Airport saying dead invented auction drafts.

[Dan]

I. I didn't invent them, but I've been the strongest proponent of auction drafts. You'll find.

[Adam]

Yeah. What are you doing? Auction drafts. Put a little prosciutto. Get a little prosciutto during your auction?

[Dan]

Actually, yeah. I found some new. New things by me that are good.

[Adam]

Oh, good. My favorite, my. The one I care the most about, I guess, is my softball league because it is the most expensive. So it's not that expensive, but it would have been nice to have won that.

[Dan]

Oh, well, I thought you cared most about our super flex league.

[Adam]

No. Oh, I mean, I'm better.

[Dan]

You won that league.

[Adam]

You didn't win that league.

[Dan]

Yes, I did.

[Adam]

You did? That sucks. Oh, that's right. I refuse to league.

[Dan]

You refuse to. Except despite the fact that I went back and looked and I averaged 188 points over my last five weeks.

[Adam]

Your team wasn't that good. I just.

[Dan]

Again, I averaged 188 points per game over my last five weeks with clearly the best team in the league.

[Adam]

Okay, let's take a break. More Dan bragging when we come back on FFT. TaxAct understands you haven't memorized the tax code. That's why TaxAct has live experts to help. TaxAct can even do it for you if you prefer. It's the easiest way to know you're doing it, right? Well, other than going back to college and obtaining a bachelor's degree in accounting with a minor in finance, then interning somewhere and becoming fluent in all tax forms. But that might be hard to accomplish before tax day, so maybe just stick with TaxAct Tax Act. Let's get them over with.

[Dan]

I apologize for the small brag. I had to do it because Adam refused to accept and acknowledge my victory in that league because he was too sad about losing himself.

[Jamie]

I have one week to fulfill my obligation as commissioner and pay out all my.

[Dan]

Yeah, I've been wondering where my payout is going to be.

[Adam]

Yeah, me too. Right.

[Dan]

The heck is going on there?

[Jamie]

What league did you win?

[Adam]

Fft. I came in second and I have a co manager. I have to pay him.

[Jamie]

You probably owe me money anyway, so you might as well just.

[Adam]

I think we already discussed this because I don't remember.

[Jamie]

It's been a very long month.

[Adam]

Okay, the next question. And our mailbag comes from Alex and he says dear Tom Cooper, Patrick and.

[Dan]

Jalen, Tom Cooper, Patrick and Jay. These are got to be Knicks players, right? Patrick Ewing, Jalen Crunson.

[Adam]

I think it's Tom Brady, Cooper Cup, Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts. Did Cooper cup win super bowl mvp?

[Dan]

Must have been if he's being included in this.

[Adam]

I'm feeling like those are the. Maybe the last four Super Bowl MVPs or something like that. Or they're the Knicks. The question is.

[Dan]

I don't think Cooper.

[Jamie]

I like how Dan. Here's one name. He just goes for it.

[Adam]

Yeah, exactly.

[Dan]

I have a low hit rate anyway, so I figure I might as well fire early.

[Adam]

Oh, they actually it says in the email it says last four Super Bowl MVPs. I just kept reading Adam, what app. What app or website do you use to pull up your stats and data so quickly? Well, true.

[Dan]

He is very fast on it. I always wonder because I usually have.

[Adam]

Them in my notes. I mean I look things. Not usually, but I look things up before the show and I have them. But I'll show you all. I've showed it before. Jacob shows it all the time. This is true Media. This is a receiver report from the year, right? This is wide receivers receiving yards in the regular season. There's an even better receiving. Go to our receiving dashboard here and we can see things like adot and we can filter like you want to know who let's who had the most catches of 30 or more air yards this year? Want to take a guess of 30.

[Jamie]

Or more air yards?

[Dan]

Yes, I'll go. Jackson, Smith and jiggle.

[Jamie]

Minimum number of receptions. It doesn't matter.

[Adam]

No, no. Just the most. Who are the most?

[Jamie]

Alec Pierce.

[Dan]

Oh, it is Alec Pierce. It's got to be Alec Pierce.

[Adam]

It's Jackson Smith and Jigba and Alec Pierce was second. Good job, guys.

[Dan]

Not bad by us. Not Bad.

[Adam]

It didn't take long to, you know, put these filters in there, look it up. Also, Pro Football Reference is great. Pro Football Reference is where I get most of my 17 game paces. Because you just go to a player's game log, click.

[Jamie]

You don't.

[Dan]

You're not trying to reveal how the Azer stack gets made. You know, you don't never want to get. Don't go too deep into this. Keep the Azer stat a little bit of a secret.

[Adam]

Yeah, you go. You click. Well, the Azer stat comes where you have to look at like, okay, which game do they leave early? And then I have to manually do it. Like, for example, I'll give you an Azer stat from Marvin Harrison Jr. I looked at, he played 12 games, but in three of them, he played 51% or fewer of the snaps. So I remove those games. So if you take his nine, call them nine healthy games. And the nine healthy games actually does include one game against the Bucks where he left with 61% of the snaps.

[Jamie]

He's having such a great game that day.

[Adam]

He was, he was having a really good game, but I kept that one in there. If you just look at the nine games where he played more than 51% of the snapshot, Marvin Harrison Jr. Averaged 8.9 non PPR, 13.1 full PPR points per game. That would have made him wide receiver 20 per game in a bad year.

[Jamie]

For wide receivers to know that Adam Azer stats is Josh Allen with his one snap every year.

[Adam]

That's so annoying.

[Dan]

This is where the Azer stats break down. When you say, like, I, I decided to not include. You have these, like, qualifications.

[Adam]

I usually usually do 50% of the snaps.

[Dan]

You had a 50 sometimes get mad and then sometimes they have to be.

[Jamie]

You know, you remind me kind of like, like, like Bucky Irving, who in his rookie season wasn't playing 50 of the snaps but was still getting every touch when he was on the field.

[Adam]

I don't do 50 of the snaps. Only matters for some player.

[Jamie]

Like, you're right.

[Adam]

It doesn't matter for running back necessarily. It matters for a wide receiver, though, because the wide receivers that we count on are usually playing 80 or more of the snaps. All right, Tyler says full PPR 2 wide receiver league. Am I crazy for wanting to keep Omari and Hampton over CD Lamb and Malik, neighbors with the Mike McDaniel news.

[Jamie]

Oh, CD I mean, I guess I'll ask the Dave question. Can you keep them forever? So, like, we may be talking about Amari Hampton as top five RBI, top five running back, fantasy baseball season in 2027, like, that's how good he could be.

[Adam]

I would keep him over Neighbors. I would not keep him over Lamb.

[Dan]

I wouldn't. I mean, over Neighbors. If we get him for his career.

[Adam]

Well, for. Right. If it's for his career. That's one thing.

[Jamie]

I think the one thing though, with both those receivers, like, if Pickens back and Neighbors is not ready to go, it's kind of easy.

[Dan]

True.

[Adam]

Can I tell you what concerns me with Hampton?

[Dan]

Are we sure that Hampton is going to take this, this Devon Hn role? Like, yeah, he was pretty fluid and better than people realize as a receiver at unc, but he was not Devon Hn as a receiver.

[Jamie]

Yeah, but. But take it a step further though, Dan. What if he's Raheem Mostert and he scores 18 touchdowns?

[Dan]

Like, oh, you think Dolphins could be that good? I guess it's possible if they get healthy on the O line.

[Adam]

Look, I like him.

[Jamie]

We've seen, we've seen two very wildly different running back seasons out of Mike McDaniel during his Dolphins tenure. And, you know, both were great fantasy wise.

[Dan]

Yeah, that's true.

[Adam]

Yeah, he loves to run the ball. But, you know, if you take away. He averaged 4.4 yards per carry. If you take away the game against the Giants, get one carry all year other than the Giants game of longer than 20 yards, it was a 26 yard run against the Chiefs. He averaged 3.7 yards per carry in all games that weren't against the Giants. And I don't remember this exactly, but I think that Antonio Gibson. There was a year where Antonio Gibson was a second round pick in fantasy.

[Dan]

I do remember that.

[Adam]

And he, I think he had this profile where he just kind of beat up on some really crummy opponents.

[Jamie]

Yep.

[Adam]

And Hampton's kind of the same way.

[Jamie]

But you're talking about two very different players.

[Adam]

I know that. I know that. But he played the Eagles without Jalen Carter down the stretch. He played the Cowboys without Quinn and Williams down the stretch.

[Jamie]

He also played without his tackles for the majority of the season.

[Adam]

I know. I. Look, I was the highest on him. I think I had him as like RB4 or something like that, but I, I might take a little.

[Jamie]

He did that before McDaniel was hired.

[Adam]

I did, yeah. All right. This is a question from Brian. One of my favorite things about Dan is that he has a strong take on anything. So my question for Dan is heads or tails?

[Dan]

Yeah, it's tails. Never fails. It's Always tails never fails. You have to. Here's the thing with heads or tails, you have to make sure that you're going to pick ahead or heads or tails. And you got to stick with that if you're the type of guy or girl that's going to go, oh, I'll take heads today, I'll take tails tomorrow. That's where you screw up. Got to take your one and stick with it and be like that for life. Don't ever move off of it. When you start to move off of it, that's when you start to mess with the, the odds of it.

[Jamie]

Right.

[Dan]

Like over time, if you pick tails every time, you should win 50 of your battles. But then you also factor in that tails really never fails as a re. You know, people came up with that for a reason. It's because, you know, just like any, just like anything in life, there's a, it probably happened a few more times in heads at least theoretically speaking. So there is no real logic behind it. But I will say pick your, pick your tails or your heads and stick with it.

[Adam]

I, I have to apologize to some of the listeners. I thought, I guess your questions but I'm gonna have to skip some of them. So Jim says, why rapid fire?

[Dan]

I'm rapid fire him.

[Adam]

Yeah. Okay. Why haven't the Giants been linked as a top landing spot for Isaiah likely?

[Dan]

I think we mentioned there's been connections that likely in the Giants.

[Adam]

Yeah, yeah, I think it would be.

[Jamie]

I think, I think when Heath was talking about it, I know after Harbaugh was, was hired I mentioned that.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Jamie]

You know, I think Heath was kind of saying, oh Kelsey replacement in Kansas City or Pitts replacement in Atlanta would be his best. Maybe fantasy value spots because of coach, quarterback, etc those two places. But yeah, I think following Harbaugh to the Giants makes a ton.

[Dan]

He's more likely to come now though, because I, I did hear from our rap. We had a Ravens insider on our show and they said that the monk in likely situation wasn't great and so he wouldn't have followed Monkin. So I don't think he'll be going now to Cleveland, for example. Not that they need him.

[Adam]

It seems like Monkin's a pretty stern guy. I guess.

[Dan]

I wish he was our offensive coordinator. This is a devastating development for the Giants. It is. And they might hire somebody who has no play calling experience that can sometimes go really awry.

[Adam]

All right, let's get to some tweets here. I had a few people ask questions about the super bowl who to start in. In fantasy matchups. And I have not done my research yet, so next week we'll have a full breakdown and, like, it's not easy to know which Patriots wide receiver, other than Stefan Diggs, to trust right now. And you also have two. Two great defenses, so it's gonna be tough to begin with.

[Jamie]

I think there's only three slam dunks. Two slam dunks. Walker, Walker and jsn, like anything else.

[Adam]

Is, I don't consider Walker a slam. I mean, I understand where you're coming from.

[Jamie]

If you have to play a running back, you're playing Ken Walker.

[Dan]

Walker, in any game Sharps doesn't play to me, is a slam dunk.

[Jamie]

I would agree.

[Adam]

Well, yeah, but he's gonna be. I actually.

[Dan]

I'm sure we can match up.

[Adam]

It's gonna be so expensive, though.

[Dan]

Yeah, but it's worth it.

[Adam]

Is it worth it to go? I mean, it's not like Seattle has a pretty impossible run defense, too.

[Dan]

Also, JSM with Christian Gonzalez might not be the best play there.

[Jamie]

There's. There's no easy scenarios here in any situation, but you're playing the two best players based on what they've done.

[Adam]

And so Hunter Henry might be the.

[Dan]

The guy who has a little sneaky. Hunter Henry, I could see that.

[Adam]

It's not even sneaky, but he might have the best matchup of anyone.

[Jamie]

You know, speaking of Hunter Henry, I was doing some Mike Petzing research and his time on the Browns staff as a offensive coach. So he was two years as the tight ends coach, one year as the quarterbacks coach. I think I have that right. Maybe his two years as quarterbacks coach, one year's Titans coach, three years of the offense coordinator for the Cardinals. So that's six years. Five years the tight end has been one or two in targets.

[Adam]

Nice.

[Jamie]

Now, obviously, three of those.

[Adam]

Yeah. Yeah. Jamie never gets his first name right, so now he just says whatever he wants.

[Dan]

Because there was a Mike Petton. I think that's why that.

[Jamie]

Yeah. No, I can't. I continue to call him Rob Petzing for some reason. So after Dan. Excuse me. After Adam corrected me. After Adam corrected me, I just started making up names. But, yeah, so. And can you guess who it was in Cleveland the two times that it happened?

[Dan]

Wait, say that.

[Jamie]

Say this.

[Dan]

That again. I was too focused on the.

[Jamie]

So six years he's been an offensive coach with the Browns and the Cardinals. He was offensive coach with the Vikings, too, for example, but I didn't include that. So six years he's been an offensive Coach. Three with Cleveland, three with the Cardinals. Cardinals. He was the offensive coordinator.

[Adam]

I know who it was.

[Dan]

Wait, Adam, let me at least hear it.

[Adam]

No, I can't remember the.

[Dan]

Yeah, go ahead.

[Jamie]

I brought it up for a reason, because you just mentioned something that made me finish.

[Dan]

Finish.

[Adam]

Jamie, what the hell is that guy's name?

[Dan]

What are we guessing? I don't get what we're guessing.

[Adam]

Just tell you who the tight end was.

[Dan]

Oh, oh, hold on, hold on. No, no, no. I want to get this. It was. The guy was the one year wonder guy, bro. Gary Barnage.

[Adam]

Gary Barnage.

[Dan]

Gary Barnage.

[Jamie]

Oh, you're. You're so many years removed from.

[Adam]

Gary Barnard's been there for eight years.

[Jamie]

No, no, it was three years with Cleveland and three years with the Cardinals. So the last six years.

[Adam]

I know. How is it not Najoku?

[Jamie]

Because it was Austin Hooper twice.

[Adam]

Oh, Gary Barnage. All right, let's go to some tweets. Dylan Raspberry says, what are your thoughts on Parker Washington's Dynasty?

[Jamie]

There's no way that's his real name.

[Adam]

I think it is.

[Dan]

Raspberries. Tastes like raspberries.

[Adam]

I got a really random movie quote for you. Raspberries. I don't remember serving raspberries. Well, then it must have been a raisin.

[Jamie]

What the heck Was that from anybody in the chat?

[Adam]

Raspberries. Give him an enema. Thoughts on Parker Washington?

[Dan]

Drop the movie.

[Adam]

At least I will. I want to give people in the chat time to. To get it.

[Jamie]

Nobody's getting it.

[Adam]

Parker Washington's Dynasty value and rank your top five chain restaurants.

[Dan]

Oh, that's a great one.

[Jamie]

Wow. Parker Washington's Dynasty value is a, I think, very sell high right now just because is it's a small sample size and there's a lot of receivers on that team. But if you're not getting anything that's gonna make you want to sell him, see how it plays out.

[Adam]

The movie was really Dracula Dead.

[Dan]

Loving it.

[Jamie]

Yes.

[Adam]

Gamer Eric. Dracula Dead.

[Jamie]

Loving it.

[Adam]

Good job.

[Jamie]

Dracula Dead.

[Dan]

I've never. I've never heard of that movie. I wouldn't even know like, what the box cover. Let's say I wouldn't even know an actor in that movie. I'm gonna look it up right now.

[Adam]

Jamie, you've never heard of Dracula Dead and loving it?

[Dan]

Of course not. I've never heard of it.

[Adam]

It's a Mel Brooks movie.

[Dan]

Oh, Mel Brooks. Leslie Nielsen.

[Adam]

Nielsen is Dracula Nielsen. I mean, that movie sucks.

[Dan]

Oh, man. There are some old actors as Harvey Norman.

[Adam]

It was funny at the time. But it's.

[Dan]

When did this come out? 1990s. Wow.

[Adam]

Yeah, a lot of.

[Dan]

I never heard of that.

[Adam]

All right. Top five chain restaurants. It's tough.

[Dan]

I start by saying it's certainly not the one that I went to with Jamie when I visited Florida, because that one's going out of business. I just read today just filed for bankruptcy.

[Adam]

Restaurant is that.

[Jamie]

That was one of my more enjoyable lunches.

[Dan]

I couldn't believe that he took me there. That was where actually the stick in the burger got its origin story. So that's true. So we won't mention.

[Jamie]

Just observing the end, just in case.

[Dan]

It comes back and it becomes a sponsor of the show or something. You gotta be careful with ranking the top five here, because you don't want to offend anybody.

[Jamie]

So, first off, I mean, we're obviously not talking fast food. We're talking anything with the chain.

[Dan]

Yeah, I guess that's the question. Is it fast food chains or is it.

[Jamie]

And what constitutes chain? Because I would. I would put this bottles at the top of the list, because there's multiple.

[Adam]

No, I don't think.

[Dan]

Yeah, that's true. I have some. Some of those chains.

[Adam]

It's got to be, like a big chain, so national. National or. Or like a major part of the country.

[Dan]

Yeah, national chain.

[Adam]

And the only thing that. The only two that come to mind were to me that if I see them, I'm like, I. I would love to go there. Chipotle. And. Yeah, I love Chili's. Love Chili's.

[Jamie]

So I'll tell you why I love Chili as a parent. Because if I do not want to speak to my children, they will just play on the little device.

[Adam]

And they have a device there.

[Dan]

Yeah, I didn't.

[Adam]

I haven't been there in a while.

[Dan]

But I love Chili's. Used to be good when I was growing up, and now I. I gotta be honest, I feel like it's fallen to the wayside, just like Apple.

[Jamie]

I love Duffy's. I go to Duffy's a lot with my kids.

[Dan]

Is that Chipotle was another one that used to be good. And now. Oh, no, no.

[Adam]

Just stop. Chipotle is amazing.

[Dan]

Just stop. Not anymore, man. Not anymore.

[Adam]

No, you're wrong.

[Dan]

Well, if you're gonna have Chipotle, you better order it there. Don't ever do the online order. And you get, like, 60 less of everything when you order online for Chipotle. And I. I really feel like it's conspiracy.

[Adam]

No, wait, you have the. You like the one bad Chipotle in America. You Live by.

[Dan]

No, Everyone will agree with that, that the online ordering is definitely get. You're getting less in your.

[Jamie]

I love. We don't want to offend any sponsors.

[Adam]

I know.

[Dan]

Yeah, no, we're gonna have trouble here doing this. I mean, like, Jersey mics used to be good, and now it's trash. I mean, there's just. Yeah, Jersey Mike's done.

[Adam]

Okay. Obviously, you're trying to hold everything up to the standards of your local prosciutto deli.

[Dan]

Yeah, obviously deli. I don't think of, like, any good chain. I don't really, you know, I. Are there any chains that I love? All right, I think you're done. No, no.

[Adam]

There are some.

[Dan]

We got to think.

[Jamie]

Oh, you.

[Dan]

In and out burger. In and out burger is amazing. That's a chain, is it not?

[Adam]

It's fast food, though.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Adam]

I went to Burger King last night, had a great, great meal. Throw that on there, too.

[Jamie]

Burger King's the worst.

[Dan]

That's like the lowest grade festival you can go to. This is a tough segment.

[Adam]

Yeah.

[Dan]

What are you doing?

[Adam]

Like you just said, we don't want to be kid. We want to be careful. We don't want to.

[Dan]

I mean, we got to give opinions on James here. Adam, what do you want? For me?

[Adam]

Yeah. I like working quite a bit, and my kids wanted it, so I said, yeah, let's do it.

[Dan]

Chipotle is amazing. Let me make that clear.

[Adam]

Oh, thanks, Dan. All right, next question.

[Dan]

My opinion on it.

[Adam]

Next tweet is from T. Demp. He says not a question, but every restaurant in America. Adam, your take on the Wire is spot on. I'm in season three, and it's so slow. Only reason I lasted this long is because it's raved about. Really average.

[Dan]

Come on.

[Jamie]

So just. Just so I'm clear, and for everybody listening, you skipped over all the questions that you wanted to get to. To read someone who agrees with your opinion on the Wire. That really wasn't a question.

[Adam]

Yeah, I mean, well, it's such an awful take.

[Dan]

It's just such the fact that this person is on season three and still hasn't picked up on it and finds it average. Average. I can't even get into this. I really can't. Okay.

[Adam]

Looks like tdump is not going to sponsor.

[Dan]

I don't want to offend any more people. I've already offended a lot with the food stuff, so I got to get off of this.

[Adam]

This one's from gamer Eric. Or should I say gamer?

[Dan]

There it is.

[Jamie]

Eric joined us in our mock Draft yesterday. He did a great job. He did.

[Adam]

Nice. You guys don't spend much time on kickers or DSTs yet. A massive majority of leagues utilize the positions. How come?

[Jamie]

Now he asked about kickers and defenses, so I'm done. I think the wrong two people here, the kickers are random. You know, you're gonna attach yourself to great offenses or indoor, you know, situations to avoid any weather concerns. But for the most part, I think you can stream kickers and still be fine, especially with how good they are these days. Defenses, I think we talk about.

[Adam]

I agree. I agree. I didn't. I get it with the kickers, but not the dsd.

[Jamie]

I think the one thing that maybe we get lost a little bit in is talking about defenses just as their own entity. So, like, you'll ask us, you know, questions about our rankings in relation to the main positions. We don't necessarily talk about the rankings of defenses, but we certainly spent some time on it on our waiver wire show. We certainly talk about it. And this defense is good. This defense is bad. This DST is worth, you know, playing this week. It's probably just not something we focus on.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Adam]

And then the second part of Eric's question, Eric, was, what is your guilty pleasure movie? If it's on, you stop and watch. It can't be something obvious like Dirty Dancing for Adam, Seven for Dan, or Predator for Jamie.

[Dan]

It wouldn't be seven. Yeah.

[Adam]

I don't know. I don't know Guilty pleasure.

[Dan]

I do, but I have a bunch.

[Adam]

To me, the movie is Parenthood. That movie. I will never not watch Steve Martin movie from the 80s.

[Dan]

Seen it? Never.

[Jamie]

Your favorite Keanu Reeves movie of all time.

[Adam]

It's the best Keanu Reeves movie ever. Yeah.

[Dan]

That's a ridiculous statement to make.

[Adam]

Well, I. I think I enjoy. It's not a Keanu Reeves movie, but I think I like it better than any Keanu Reeves movie. Speed.

[Dan]

You like it better than original speed. Oh, unreal movie.

[Adam]

So much better than the original speed.

[Jamie]

I mean, he's been in the major.

[Adam]

Matrix.

[Dan]

Matrix. Holy crap. The best.

[Jamie]

One of the best movies of all time. What are you doing?

[Adam]

The Matrix is one of the best movies of all time. Now, I don't know about that.

[Dan]

For me, it's that series of all time, the original Matrix. Obviously, it fell off a little bit. The original Matrix, which I recently rewatched a year ago, is considerably. I'll say this. It's better than Rocky one. It's not. It's definitely better than. Right.

[Jamie]

I. I can't Name one for me. It's the like, there's so many things that I almost every Marvel movie, if it comes on, I just stop.

[Dan]

Rounders for me is a big one.

[Jamie]

I'll watch.

[Dan]

I've rushed Rounders a thousand times.

[Jamie]

I will. I will almost always leave Rocky. Except for Rocky 5. On any Rocky movie that comes on, we'll just kind of just stay there.

[Adam]

Hey, I have a question for you.

[Dan]

Jamie can Catch Me any like, good.

[Jamie]

Good, good mob movie like Goodfellows, Thomas. That's on. That stays Matrix.

[Adam]

Catch Me can is such a great movie, but I don't really. I don't really find it to be so rewatchable because it's so long.

[Dan]

No, but you can jump in at any point. It's like fast paced in that and you just write into it, catch me if you can. It's one of my favorites.

[Jamie]

Oh, that's so good.

[Adam]

That's great. It's great. I just, I'm not really. I don't really want to rewatch it.

[Dan]

Minority Reports one for me, if that's on. I'll watch that to the end. I'll pick up at any point and watch at the end. One of the more underage movies.

[Adam]

I like the ones that make that remind me of my childhood. So that's why I went Parenthood.

[Jamie]

Okay.

[Adam]

I like the one big.

[Dan]

By the way, back to the chains thing. I want to shout out to chain. I do like Texas Roadhouse. You guys ever been to that?

[Adam]

Yeah.

[Jamie]

Yep.

[Dan]

Huge Texas Roadhouse fan. Maybe the one chains. I like a lot of Peanuts.

[Adam]

A lot of peanuts.

[Dan]

Peanuts.

[Adam]

Yeah. I click on this.

[Jamie]

We get this question a lot from Grant. The. The letters behind me. Those are my kids initials.

[Adam]

Yeah, those are their initials. Those are actual kids.

[Jamie]

Ronan. E is for Eli. S is for Simon.

[Dan]

Oh, one of your kids name.

[Jamie]

Eli. Let's go, Ely. Yeah.

[Dan]

All right. Yeah.

[Adam]

Well, now he doesn't like your kid. And then the last question from Eric. What was your favorite cartoon growing up and why?

[Dan]

That's a great question.

[Jamie]

Favorite cartoon growing up.

[Dan]

My number one GI Joe.

[Jamie]

For me, I still have this. This is how pathetic I am from my childhood.

[Adam]

That's not pathetic. That's awesome.

[Dan]

That is cool that you still have that.

[Jamie]

GI Joe. Yep.

[Dan]

GI Joe is definitely before my time. But trying to think the one I watched the most when I was a kid, I think it was probably hey Arnold. When I was a kid, I watched a lot of hey, Arnold.

[Adam]

Gosh, I can't remember. I did watch the Rugrats, but I Was like Rugrats.

[Dan]

I watched that. And I was young.

[Adam]

I mean, I really like Pinky in the Brain, but I wouldn't say it was my favorite.

[Dan]

It was all Nickelodeon stuff for me.

[Adam]

When I was really. How did you. How are you not a Slime Time Live watcher?

[Dan]

I know. I always find that weird that I didn't watch Slime Time.

[Jamie]

Has he ever met your brother in person?

[Dan]

No, not yet.

[Jamie]

Oh. So the tennis match is going to.

[Dan]

Be like, I. I really want to play him.

[Jamie]

He's gonna be like Google eyes, right?

[Dan]

Adam said he's, like, considerably better than me. So now after that comment, I have to. Obviously, I'm interested in playing.

[Adam]

He played a match. Listen to this. He played a match. You have to win two. Two out of three. You have to win two sets, or if you split the first two, you play tiebreaker. They lost the first set. Doubles match. They lost the first set, like 6, 2. They were down 5, 2 and down 40, 15. Two match points in the second set. And they came back and won.

[Jamie]

That's crazy.

[Adam]

And they were down 8, 4 in the super tiebreaker. And they came back and won. Like, that's come back. Best win of his life. It was amazing.

[Dan]

That is epic. Were you a part of that? Were you on his doubles team? No, no.

[Adam]

He plays in Florida. All right, that's it. I'm gonna go. Tom and Jerry was my. My first.

[Jamie]

Did you watch the movies yet?

[Adam]

The Tom and Jerry movies?

[Jamie]

The two remakes? Yeah.

[Adam]

They exist.

[Jamie]

Yeah.

[Dan]

I didn't even know they exist. In the Matrix.

[Jamie]

My kid. My kids liked it.

[Adam]

All right, well, that's good. Did they speak or is they silent?

[Jamie]

I'm and Jerry speak.

[Adam]

Yeah, they don't speak in the old cartoons.

[Jamie]

Right. At the essence of what it is.

[Adam]

Did they speak, though? I feel like they didn't speak.

[Jamie]

No.

[Dan]

What was that other cartoon with the. Not Tom, Jerry. The one with the Pinky in the brain.

[Adam]

I just said Pinky.

[Jamie]

Yeah.

[Dan]

Okay. That was a good one.

[Jamie]

It was great.

[Adam]

All right, folks, have a good one, and we'll talk to you on Monday. Have a great weekend. See ya.

[Jamie]

Paramount podcasts.

[Adam]

Paramount plus is the new home of ufc. It isn't just combat. It's cinema. Unbelievable. Every strike is a frame. What a shot.

[Dan]

Every rivalry a story.
