Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Joy (and Nuances) of Trading

Team-building through trades led the episode, with Jamie sharing recent blockbuster deals. Insights revolved around:

• How league size and roster construction drive trade targets.
• The satisfaction of crafting and having a trade accepted (03:50–04:17).
• Weighing lopsidedness and value—are headline names always the smart side?

“Is it more satisfying when you accept a great trade, or you make a great trade?”
— Jamie Eisenberg [03:50]

Trade Breakdown:

• Jamie traded Omarion Hampton & Troy Franklin for Justin Jefferson in a 14-team league, after previously landing Malik Nabers for T. Higgins & Jordan Mason.
• Discussion around the value and potential workloads for running backs like Hampton vs. wideout upside with Jefferson (05:42–07:12).

2. News & Notes

Quick injury and practice updates impacting the weekend slate:

• Chuba Hubbard practiced (Carolina)
• Buffalo without Ed Oliver and Matt Milano
• Washington: Jaden Daniels & Terry McLaurin missed practice (05:00–05:17)
• Derek Stingley (Texans) and Baker Mayfield (Bucs) statuses

3. Buy-Low Philosophy & Start/Sit Decisions

Responding to a listener’s observation—“Struggling WRs have young QBs, good ones have vets”—the team debates whether this trend is real (12:55–14:42). Key responses:

• Agreed sample sizes and individual situations matter more than broad rules.
• Citing examples like Nico Collins thriving with young CJ Stroud undermining the hypothesis.
• Adam’s conclusion: “Food for thought,” but not a steadfast rule.

“I don’t know if the sample size at this point is too small. Three games in, there are reasons for certain situations for these guys.”
— Jamie Eisenberg [13:56]

4. Mailbag: Listener Questions and Rapid-Fire Advice

Wide Receiver/Lineup Dilemmas (15:03+)

• Malik Nabers, Tetaroa McMillan, Ricky Pearsall, Emeka Egbuka (Sit McMillan due to matchup, but Neighbors not an auto-start)
• Chuba Hubbard, Michael Pittman, more: multiple “wait for injury report” reminders

Ice Cream Cookie Sandwich Debate (15:56–18:48)

• Light, funny listener detour on best ice cream sandwich combos.
• Notable quote: “Coffee ice cream is the best ice cream.” — Dan Schneier [16:31]

5. Running Back Handcuffs & Trade Value

• Jordan Mason vs. TreVeyon Henderson (Vikings vs. Patriots backfields) covered, informed by OL play stats and RB usage, with reference to deeper analytics from “Beyond the Box Score” [21:19–22:34].
• Adam muses on the importance of staying ahead of late-week RB injuries for your waiver strategy.

6. Trade Targets & Strategies for Struggling Teams

Advice for managers at 1–2 or 0–3:

• Who to target if you must win now (Rashee Rice for production now; names like Brian Thomas Jr., Ted McMillan, Mecca Egbuka) [26:16–28:32].
• Jamie: “If you’re 0–3 or 1–2, by the time Rice comes back, your fantasy season may be done. You have to make those tough calls.” [26:37]

7. Lightning Round: Starts, Sits, Trades

Players Frequently Analyzed (throughout 24:00–47:00):

• Henderson, Worthy, Godwin, Jamo (Jameson Williams), Lat McConkey, Ricky Pearsall
• Judkins vs. A.J. Brown, Pickens, Keenan Allen, Pittman, D.J. Moore
• Strong stances given with caveats for injury reports; nuanced tiering discussed.

8. Fantasy Cops Segment (League Dispute Resolutions, 39:10–47:07)

Notable Cases:

• Dynasty league trade scrutiny: Is this veto-worthy? (Charbonnet, D.J. Moore, and a 1st for Marvin Harrison Jr. & Josh Jacobs)

Jamie: “This is not vetoable. This is not something I’d quit the league over.” [41:19]

• Commish Dilemmas:
  • Should you reverse a questionable Jaden Daniels drop by a “fish” manager? [42:15–44:33]
  • Should you change bench/median rules midseason, even if most want it? (Verdict: Only with full league buy-in, otherwise honor preseason rules. [45:35–47:18])

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• “I was like, ‘I’m on the fence.’ And I said, you probably get that a lot. She started laughing. She’s like, no, actually, we know it. So I thought it was pretty awesome.”
  — Adam Azer’s dad joke, responded to in groans and laughter [10:02]

• On the “coffee ice cream” poll:
  “I can’t believe people are out on coffee ice cream. Coffee ice cream is so good!” — Dan Schneier [16:49]
  “Is Dan a 75-year-old, spiritually?” — Adam Azer [16:55]

• Rapid-fire trade grading:
  “I'll go with A- here. Not just that I think Chase Brown could turn things around. I think A.J. Brown will be the winner of that deal.” — Dan Schneier [31:14]

• Beatles Take Detour:
  “One of my worst takes of all time... I find the Beatles to be an overrated band.” — Dan Schneier [62:25]

[Adam Azer]

This is Fantasy Football today from CBS Sports.

[Dan Schneier]

What a play. Can you believe this?

[Adam Azer]

No, I can't. It's time to dominate your fantasy league. Off to the races and he stays on his feet.

[Dan Schneier]

This is gonna go the distance.

[Adam Azer]

Now here's some combination of Adam, Dave, Jamie and. What's up, everybody? It's mailbag time. We're feeling good. It's Friday afternoon. Welcome to Fantasy football today presented by BetMGM, the sportsbook. Born in Vegas, I'm Adam Azer. Bringing that weekend energy. Dan Schneier's bringing that part, your hair in the middle energy. And Jamie Eisenberg is bringing that. I just made an awesome trade energy. What a great feeling to make a trade. You know, it's just the most fun part of football. I gotta start making more trades.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

Is it more satisfying when you accept a great trade or you make a great trade?

[Dan Schneier]

What do you mean? Propose it and then it gets you.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

Proposed the trade and somebody accepts it, like, oh, I really, you know, concocted this great deal. Yeah. Or yes. Is it better? Like you just like open your inbox. You're like, whoa, okay. Yeah, this is a no brainer.

[Dan Schneier]

I think the first one's better. The second one you're like second guessing when you first see, you're like, whoa, do I do it? Is this as good as it could? I think it should be. So you get that feeling. The other one, you're like, yes, I did it.

[Adam Azer]

Yeah. Am I missing something here? Is there an injury?

[Dan Schneier]

Yeah, that's how I feel when I get a good.

[Adam Azer]

And Jamie made a very fair trade, I think. But. But it's just fun to fun to do it. And I'm hoping maybe this weekend I'll spend some time, make some trade offers here. Just give you the news and notes real quick. Chuba Hubbard practiced today on Friday, so I'm assuming he'll be listed as questionable, but it's good that he practiced. They're at New England. Buffalo is going to be without Ed Oliver and Matt Milano in their front seven against New Orleans. And then bigger news in Washington, Jaden Daniels and Terry McLaurin missed practice. Jaquori Crosby Merritt was on the practice field. That's all all I saw. He was on the practice field and wasn't doing much at the moment. So I don't have any update for you on Bill Crosky Merritt, but at least he was out on the practice field on Friday. Derek Stingley missed practice on Friday. He may not play against Tennessee. And Baker Mayfield was throwing at practice. He's got this biceps injury. I'm sure he'll be fine. Good to go for the Eagles game. Jamie, congratulations on your trade. Let's talk about it. Go ahead. You feeling good?

[Jamie Eisenberg]

So I mentioned on the Friday morning show which wearing the same shirt but mentioned on the Friday morning show that I was offered, I was offered Ricky Piersall for Jalen Warren in a 14T. It's a our podcast league, 14 team league where I wasn't thrilled about that offer just because of Ricky Piersol's potential for losing opportunities, let's say when everybody's healthy there in San Francisco. So that manager must listen to the show, rescinded the offer and then countered with Omarion Hampton. I'm sorry, with Justin Jefferson for Omarion Hampton and Troy Franklin.

[Adam Azer]

And you would be getting Jefferson and giving up Hampton and Troy Franklin.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

Yes. So this was one week after being offered Malik neighbors for T. Higgins and Jordan Mason.

[Adam Azer]

Yeah.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

So in a 14 team league, which I share with our very generous friend Todd Roanes, we now have running back, wide receiver, rooms of Bijan Robinson, Breece hall and Jalen Warren and Malik neighbors Justin Jefferson and George Pickens.

[Adam Azer]

Yeah, it's very good. It's funny because, you know, getting neighbors and Jefferson obviously seems great. Straight up though Franklin is a bit of a throw in in a 14 team league, but that's fine. He could be useful. Hampton for Jefferson. Do you guys think that's lopsided?

[Dan Schneier]

Not as lopsided as the other trade. I think with the injury to Naji Harris, there's possibility and potential for Hampton to be a very good player in fantasy at the level of Jefferson. The issue is Greg Roman has hinted at and the Chargers have Hinted at using other players in that backfield. I don't think this is a dire situation where they feel like no one else can get on the field. Commodity Vidal I think will get on the field immediately. The other issue is the Chargers are Almost dead last. 10 yards created from a run blocking standpoint with no sure signs of getting any better in that regard.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

Oh, I'll give you a sure sign.

[Dan Schneier]

What's that?

[Jamie Eisenberg]

Turn around. Look at your refrigerator.

[Dan Schneier]

Yeah, that's not a bad point, but should be good.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

By the way, you look a little like crooked.

[Dan Schneier]

I'll try to fix that. I don't know.

[Adam Azer]

Leave it, leave it. It's fine. But it's. You do look a little crooked also, I think. Is that that Giants football that you have on the counter, is that like. Is that a foam football?

[Jamie Eisenberg]

Yes.

[Adam Azer]

Yeah, I have the same football. You know, it's sad. My son plays with it. That's like his football. And you 30 something year old man, you have the, the foam job.

[Dan Schneier]

Yeah, well, it's, it's been hanging around for years and I just use it in the background. Trying my best to do my best here with the background. It's not great.

[Adam Azer]

That's good.

[Dan Schneier]

It was at time with that said on the trade front, like there is also concern on the other end with Jefferson obviously with Carson Wentz potentially playing who knows how long given Kevin o' Connell's comments. And that also may be the best option for him on the other trade. Like I feel like T. Higgins is in a bad spot moving forward with this situation as is. And then it's like Higgins and what was it Mason for?

[Jamie Eisenberg]

Yes.

[Dan Schneier]

Yeah, I think the other one's more lopsided to me.

[Adam Azer]

All right.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

But it's just interesting that we went very heavy on running back and now we have traded them for very prominent assets. And so it's not gonna like, you know, at least for me, not change like any draft philosophy. But it, it has benefited, you know, I don't know, size of league players we're playing with, etc, but it has definitely benefited us to draft five running backs and turn two of them into Malik Neighbors and Johnson Jepsen.

[Dan Schneier]

Yeah, yeah.

[Adam Azer]

But Neighbors has had one good game so far and it was against Dallas. And Jefferson hasn't even scored 15 fantasy points. They're a very run heavy team. He hasn't played a game with Jordan Addison yet. I do wonder if Neighbors and Jefferson. I think you should have made the trades. Like they're good but I wonder if they're going to return first Round value or who is first round value at this point.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

First round value at this point.

[Adam Azer]

But getting a workhorse running back is really, really valuable. Hampton's probably going to be that Mason. I don't know. Yes. Yes. I was going to hit the this button and you started talking about Kymani Vidal. Kymani Vidal not going to be the reason why Omari and Hampton is not awesome if Omari say that.

[Dan Schneier]

But I just think he's going to eat a little bit into the row. I don't think we're looking at like a McCaffrey type work. Share that workload.

[Adam Azer]

I don't even want that from my running backs. It's too much. It's too much. It's taking too many hits. I want them to get spelled a little bit. He's still going to have a great workload. Hampton. Okay, let's move on to a L.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

I, T, T, L, E, B, I, T. What?

[Dan Schneier]

No.

[Adam Azer]

No idea.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

I want them to get spelled a little bit. So I spelled a little bit.

[Adam Azer]

Very good. I like that. All right, Sunday, we've got a dad.

[Dan Schneier]

Joke if I've ever heard one.

[Adam Azer]

Yeah. Oh, I made a great dad joke. So I have. I have a driveway that's kind of slopey and if the.

[Dan Schneier]

My.

[Adam Azer]

We have a basketball hoop out there. So when my son plays it ball rolls into the woods essentially, and you got to worry about ticks. We have deer all over our lawn. So we wanted to put a fence up on the side of the driveway. We had a couple of fence companies come and give us quotes or whatever. So just about an hour ago, the lady calls me. She's like, hey, I was just calling to see if you. What you thought of the proposal. And I was like, yeah, you know, it's not. It's pretty expensive and it's not really a need right now. So I was like, I'm on the fence. And I said, you probably get that a lot. She started laughing. She's like, no, actually, we know it. So I thought it was pretty awesome. Yeah. Thank you. All right, Sunday, last time I'm reminding you, 8:30am to 9:30am YouTube.com fantasy football today, Dan is actually hosting. That one is.

First of all you got to leave a five star review. You got to tell people why you like the show. Then you can ask your question. You should try to get these published by, I would say Tuesday or Wednesday because they take a little while to show up in Apple Podcast. And don't ask any questions about Thursday games because I I don't even look until Friday. I read them on a show that airs Saturday. So just a couple of words there. On the Apple Podcast we also have Fantasy Cops and YouTube. Email from Matthew Matthew makes a good point here. There are a lot of struggling wide receivers right now and there's a trend that I'm noticing. The wide receivers that are struggling all have young quarterbacks and the wide receivers that are doing great have veteran quarterbacks. There are some exceptions to this, but Nico Collins, Marvin Harrison, he wrote this earlier in the week. Terry McLaurin, D.J. moore, Drake London, Brian Thomas Jr. All young quarterbacks. Why is that really fair to say.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

Though with that group? Like I was, I was expecting you to say Justin Jefferson and yeah, he.

[Dan Schneier]

Couldn'T really like I mean all of.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

Nico Collins best production in his career is coming.

[Adam Azer]

Nico Collins is struggling though.

[Dan Schneier]

Tyler Murray's in like Year seven right now.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

Yeah, like these aren't young.

[Dan Schneier]

That one definitely can't count.

[Adam Azer]

Oh yeah. I don't know why he put Marvin in there. That was a bad call. But, but CD Lamb's been great. I'm on Ross St. Brown's been great. The Rams wide receivers have been great. Jackson Smith and Jigba has been great.

[Dan Schneier]

Johnston, Keenan Allen with Herbert have been great.

[Adam Azer]

It is an interesting point here.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

It is not the best example of quarterbacks though.

[Adam Azer]

So you're not like if you want.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

To say, if you were to, if he was to say Drake London is struggling. Justin Jefferson is struggling. Calvin Ridley is struggling like These are young quarterbacks.

[Adam Azer]

Okay, fine. So, so forget about the examples he gave because some of them are working, some of them aren't. And just the overall point, young quarterbacks, maybe we, you know, it maybe are leading to these wide receiver struggles.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

I mean, it certainly could, you know, and, and in the case of some of these guys, there's coordinator changes and coaching changes. I, I, I, I don't know if the sample size at this point is too small. You know, three games in, there's, I think, reasons for, for certain situations for several of these guys, you know, Is Romo Dunes a struggling.

[Adam Azer]

Correct. You're right.

[Dan Schneier]

He's not.

[Adam Azer]

Someone, D.J. morris, someone said Nico, and he mentioned D.J. moore. He said Nico Collins was great last week. He was lucky. I mean, I'm happy about it, obviously, but he had a 50.

[Dan Schneier]

Yeah, that was not great.

[Adam Azer]

Busted coverage.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

But that's not, I mean, everything Nico Collins has done for us as an elite tier fantasy player has been with CJ Strap. It's true.

[Adam Azer]

Okay, well, food for thought. Okay. From Henry. Subject mailbag. Question from the magnets on Dan's fridge. I'm in a full PPR league. I can only start three of the following four Malik neighbors, Tetaro McMillan, Ricky Piersoll and Ameca Abuka. Who are you sitting?

[Jamie Eisenberg]

Give me names again. Sorry.

[Adam Azer]

Malik neighbors, Teterola McMillan, Ricky Pearsall, Ameka Abuca, and starting.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

How many sit?

[Dan Schneier]

One.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

So it's between McMillan and Pearsall. For me, I would sit McMillan with Christian Gonzalez coming back.

[Dan Schneier]

I think that's easily the play with Gonzalez back. But I will say this. I would not be expecting a big game at Malik Neighbors against this Chargers defense.

[Adam Azer]

Right. And he even said that in the email. Said, am I crazy to bench neighbors? Worried?

[Dan Schneier]

Not.

[Adam Azer]

Yeah.

[Dan Schneier]

But I think the matchup that Jamie brought up is difficult enough that you have like, it plays a bigger factor.

[Adam Azer]

I am wondering if now that they have Carlton Davis, who is on the Patriots, not the Lions.

[Dan Schneier]

Yeah.

[Adam Azer]

If they do use Gonzalez to shadow or if they feel like, hey, we've got two cornerbacks, maybe we don't need to now. Especially in Gonzalez's first game back. This is an email from Mateo. I know Dan is going to have very strong feelings about this.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

Oh, boy.

[Adam Azer]

A few years ago I started an ice cream cookie sandwich business and this year it's really started to grow. My question is this. If you were to create an ice cream cookie sandwich, what combination of cookie and ice cream would you choose? For example, one of my more popular combinations is an Oreo cookie with Oreo ice cream called the Oreo Overload.

[Dan Schneier]

That's a great one to start. I would probably be going in the direction of. So my favorite ice cream is coffee ice cream. So I'm kind of trying to figure.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

Out that has got to be the worst favorite ice cream of any ice cream.

[Dan Schneier]

Out of your mind. It's the clear best. Who doesn't.

[Adam Azer]

Yeah.

[Dan Schneier]

Coffee ice cream is.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

Adam, do a poll quickly.

[Dan Schneier]

Coffee ice cream is so good.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

Coffee ice cream. The word. Here's your choices. Claire, Is coffee ice cream the worst ice cream ever, the worst ice cream of all time, or see results?

[Dan Schneier]

I can't believe people are out on coffee ice cream. Coffee ice cream is amazing.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

Like what are we talking about from Brosie Bros.

[Dan Schneier]

I never knew coffee ice cream was. Was considered bad. Wow.

[Adam Azer]

Coffee ice cream. Is Dan a 75 year old, spiritually?

[Dan Schneier]

Well, to be fair, like, it's my mom's favorite ice cream. I guess that's how I got into it in the first place. But coffee ice cream is amazing tasting. Like, I don't. This has nothing to do.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

There are some people agreeing with you.

[Dan Schneier]

I'm just stunned at this. I never knew coffee ice cream was considered bad. But I would say coffee ice cream with like a mocha type taste to it. So you mix in like a chocolate cookie and coffee ice cream. But again, like maybe like a s' mores cookie. That's what I'm think. S' mores cookie with coffee ice cream. But you know, I just. I'm actually taken aback by how bad people think this coffee ice cream is.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

No, there are a lot of people agree with you.

[Adam Azer]

Yeah.

[Dan Schneier]

It's like stunned by it.

[Adam Azer]

So I would go with a. With I think a thin mint cookie. Right. Like a big thin mint. But what ice cream do we put in?

[Jamie Eisenberg]

I was thinking like mint chocolate ice cream.

[Adam Azer]

You could do that. But the thin. I think thin mint with mint chocolate would be too much. Would be a mint overload. I think it'd be a little too much. Maybe just vanilla. Maybe just vanilla ice cream with the thin mint with the thin mint cookie.

[Dan Schneier]

Just so Jeff Snook knows in the comments. I'm not backtracking. I stand by this. Coffee ice cream is the best ice cream. But anything with like chocolate peanut butter is obviously a good mix. Yeah.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

Dan, by the way, Dave almost topped your wh space.

[Dan Schneier]

Oh, no. What did he wear?

[Jamie Eisenberg]

He was wearing a T shirt with his jacket open over it.

[Dan Schneier]

Okay.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

T shirt says speed power, but the S was covered.

[Dan Schneier]

Oh, my God. I got to check out the episode. Now this was this morning's episode.

[Adam Azer]

Yeah. All right. So so far, early, early poll Results. Results. Only 35 votes. How do you feel about coffee ice cream? Great. 37.

[Dan Schneier]

Good.

[Adam Azer]

9%.

[Dan Schneier]

So 46. Find it greater good. I think I'm doing good here.

[Adam Azer]

Meh. 23%.

[Dan Schneier]

Okay.

[Adam Azer]

And bad. 31. So so far, great.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

I think I'm winning.

[Adam Azer]

This great is winning, but it's very split.

[Dan Schneier]

I don't understand. I've never heard of this anti coffee ice cream thing. I just thought it was the best.

[Adam Azer]

Just drink coffee and have good ice cream. There you go. All right, we'll take a break.

[Dan Schneier]

No matter your space, style or budget, shop Wayfair at all to make your home way more you.

[Adam Azer]

Wayfair. Every style, every home. All right, let's see the YouTube poll here as we welcome you back to fantasy football today to our mailbag show. Just killing time before the poll poll results come up Is coffee ice cream the best flavor? Yes, Dan is right. No dan is crazy. 68% say no. Dan is crazy. At least we can agree on that. This email is from Kyle 12 Team PPR. I have Derek, Henry, Ashton, Genty and Jordan Mason. Would you trade Jordan Mason for Travion Henderson?

[Jamie Eisenberg]

Yes, would I trade Jordan Mason for Travion Henderson in ppr? Yeah, I don't know if I would.

[Adam Azer]

I said oh actually when I reply to the email I was surprised at that. Quick. Yes there from Schneider.

[Dan Schneier]

Yeah and this is this is definitely surprising considering Jacob and I spent a lot of time this week going over how good things are for Jordan Mason. We ranked the offensive lines on beyond the box score this week. Check that out. We talked about success rate yards before contact yards created a lot of good metrics that I think could lead to you figuring out what which offensive lines provide the best Runway for running backs. Rest of season Vikings were in the top three but I just have concerns about one that offense is overall efficiency once McCarthy comes back into Aaron Jones return. On the flip side of that Trayvon Henders I feel like is trending in the opposite direction of he will be getting more and more touches and obviously has the reception upside for ppr.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

The one thing would be is a how long is Aaron Jones out and B what happens to Aaron Jones when he comes back? Like Jordan Mason clearly had the best game of a running back for yeah the Vikings this season and before Aaron Jones left there was a pretty clear split of who's the rushing downs guy and maybe still Mason getting some opportunities in the passing game while Jones got clearly getting work in the rushing game. But I still think that offense has still another gear to get to. I hope the Patriots offense does.

[Dan Schneier]

Yeah, that's fair.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

The Vikings offense I think until Kevin o' Connell figures out who's going to be his quarterback and how that's going to operate, there's still so much room to grow.

[Adam Azer]

All right. Coffee ice cream is the best from jdog Little little Juan J Dog. Liking coffee ice cream is like Dennis Rodman being your favorite basketball player as a fellow New Jersey and Dan does not represent the majority.

[Dan Schneier]

Oh come on Papinski. Very good representative.

[Adam Azer]

And how many alterations does Adam make to a drink at Starbucks? I. I don't do I. If I go yeah, I go to the hot chocolate. If I go anything.

[Dan Schneier]

Do no caffeine in your diet. You don't have caffeine Adam or you do something else for caffeine?

[Adam Azer]

No caffeine.

[Dan Schneier]

Wow, that's so crazy. I don't know how you could live life without caffeine. Do you? Jamie, do you have caffeine?

[Jamie Eisenberg]

Oh, I. Too much soda.

[Dan Schneier]

Okay. Okay.

[Adam Azer]

Soda. Oh, Jamie. Oh, no, no, no.

[Dan Schneier]

I think I've had this. I forgot you were a big soda guy, Jamie.

[Adam Azer]

All right.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

Just too much of it, though.

[Adam Azer]

This is from Matt. Says, hey, Cam, Phil, Jay and Mitch.

[Dan Schneier]

Come on, say that again.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

Jay and Mitch.

[Adam Azer]

Cam, Phil, J. And Mitch and Gloria and Claire and Haley.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

And.

[Adam Azer]

Who else? Jay? It's modern.

[Dan Schneier]

Modern Family. Modern Family characters.

[Adam Azer]

All right, I need to sit one of these in PPR. Ricky Pearsall, Michael. Michael Pittman, Tetaro McMillan and Chuba Hubbard. Pierce. All Pitman, McMillan, Hubbard.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

Well, first, let's find out what Hubbard and McMillan status is. Hopefully we get the answers before the show is over. It's ppr. I probably would sit. It's between. It's between the Panthers for me.

[Adam Azer]

Okay.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

I might lean towards sitting McMillan because the matchup possibly.

[Dan Schneier]

I. I think I would sit Hubbard from Mike.

[Adam Azer]

Need a wide receiver and a flex from this group. DJ Moore, JMO, I.O. manor, Tootin, Golden Godwin, who is ex. Looks like trending in the right direction to play, according to the latest report. And that's about one minute ago, by the way. So again, we need one wide receiver. Let's pick a receiver. D.J. moore, Jameson Williams, I.O. manor, golden or Godwin.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

I'm gonna take a flyer on Golden.

[Adam Azer]

Okay. And then a flex. All of those players plus Basil Tutin.

[Dan Schneier]

I go golden. IO Manor.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

I'll agree. For continuity sake, I'd probably go more, but just with the matchup and hope that the Raiders secondary is as bad as advertised. But look, IO Manor has been solid, by the way.

[Adam Azer]

It looks like the packers are going to be down another offensive lineman. Anthony Belton is not going.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

I'm telling you. They're just doing it to make it fair.

[Adam Azer]

We've got one from Jacob. Need some trade targets for Rasheed Rice on one or two or zero and three teams. One and two or oh, and three teams.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

And I just want to. Delante. Is that the way to pronounce it? It just went off the screen. Made the comment of Christian Gonzalez is not locking down Ted McMillan. I. I don't want to come across. I'm sure Dan doesn't either. Like, we're not saying to outright sit Kevin McMillan. We're getting a lot of good choices here about other players. So. Yeah, just tough, tough calls. I don't think that you should be running to sit Teteron McMillan because Gonzalez is playing as Adam. Adam alluded to no guarantee he's going to shadow him. And there's still, you know, just depends on who you have on your team.

[Adam Azer]

All right, good call. Rasheed Rice. Trade targets for him if you're 1 and 2 or oh and 3.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

Anybody that's playing well now, that's sitting on, you know, like Mecca Buko would be somebody I'd be looking at if they're on somebody's bench. Tedro McMillan, Brian Thomas Jr.

[Adam Azer]

So I think the easiest way to answer this question is this. What do you expect from Rashid Rice when he's back in Week 7?

[Dan Schneier]

A lot. That's why I don't think I would move Rashid Rice right now.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

Yeah, but if you're, if you're 0, 3 and 1 and 2 by the time he comes back, your fantasy season may be done. So you have to make those tough calls.

[Dan Schneier]

What are you getting for him at this point?

[Jamie Eisenberg]

Well, that's the thing. It's like you want to be getting somebody who for the next three to four weeks is going to be a must start wide receiver for you and the chance to be as good as Rice or potentially a little bit less, not too much less when Rice is back. So I'll give you the example of a real life trade. Same thing with CD Lamb at this point because we don't know how long he's gonna be out. So Heath made the trade in our super flex league. He traded CD Lamb for Brian Thomas Jr. He still believes that Brian Thomas Jr. Can be that guy. And buying low on him, selling CD Lamb. I don't know if the manager he sold it to or traded into was 3, 0, 2 and 1, whatever the case may be. But again, you're trying to, you know, help that person for their potential playoff push while still giving yourself the option of helping yourself now. So you're, you're buying low on somebody who's struggling. You're buying somebody who's, as you know, again, I use Ricky Piersoll as the example right now. Ricky Pierce all seems like he's a solid number two fantasy receiver. Right. That could change in, in a day. If Juwan Jennings is back, it could change in two weeks when George Kittle's back. There's a window here of maybe not being that good. But if that player gets you back to 2 and 2, 3 and 2, 4 and 2, 5 and 2, whatever the case may be, you've now saved your season.

[Adam Azer]

What about George Pickens? Would you give up Rice for George.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

Pickens again if, if you Buy that George Pickens is going to be that player. I probably would look a little bit higher than that, you know, but when you start to get desperate because your fantasy season is slipping away, you know, like, I don't. I don't want to go and get. And. And I may be wrong because it could still be a very good play. Like, I don't want to go turn Ray Rashi Rice into Quinch on to Quentin Johnston and John Johnson may be awesome.

[Dan Schneier]

Right?

[Jamie Eisenberg]

But, like, you know, you just may be buying somebody who's never going to sustain this level of production.

[Dan Schneier]

All right, maybe I would say buy low a play might be. You need production now, but you also want upside if you're giving up a player like Rice. I think buying low on a player like lad McConkey could be a really good play or a player like Drake London, two guys that we thought would be very good but are struggling. So that those managers might be like, I want to kind of move those players right now. Okay. That's the type of player I'd be looking for.

[Adam Azer]

This one's from Chad. I need to start, too. JMO Mooney, Addison Worthy, Godwin Travion, Henderson. Give me two. Jameson Williams, Darnell Mooney, Jordan, Addison Xavier Worthy, Chris Godwin, Travion Henderson.

[Dan Schneier]

This is PPR or no. Yeah, I'll go with Jamo and Henderson.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

Sorry, give me names again. I was just looking. The. The commanders had ruled out Jane Daniels.

[Dan Schneier]

Yeah, Daniels and McLaurin out.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

Yep.

[Adam Azer]

Jamo Mooney, Addison Worthy, Godwin Henderson.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

I would go Henderson and Worthy.

[Adam Azer]

Okay, next question is from Mark.

[Dan Schneier]

Starting worthy. Do you feel confident starting worthy this week, Jamie?

[Jamie Eisenberg]

I just don't feel confident in Jameson Williams right now with his role and the defense that he's facing. And Godwin, Same situation as Worthy, but a little bit less. Okay, so just hoping that we get some big plays against the defensive struggle.

[Adam Azer]

Email from Mark. Email from Mark. Hunter Henry or Brock Bowers. Jalen Waddle or Debo Samuel Bowers and Debo for me.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

Bowers and Debo.

[Dan Schneier]

I need. I need to cut you off real quick for one quick thing because I'm getting a lot of hate for this coffee.

[Adam Azer]

Go ahead.

[Dan Schneier]

A lot of. I need you quickly. We don't have to spend much time on this. Both of you, to announce your favorite ice cream flavor real quick. Okay.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

My favorite, my go to. I go to Carvel a lot with my kids. My go to is cherry vanilla.

[Dan Schneier]

Okay. Those are good guys. Because if one of you said, like, chocolate or vanilla, I'd be Like, well, I mean, come on. Like, what are we talking about here?

[Jamie Eisenberg]

I guess.

[Dan Schneier]

I guess there are some, like, special flavors.

[Adam Azer]

Well, milk and cookies from Ben and Jerry's is phenomenal.

[Dan Schneier]

Yeah. Coffee.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

Coffee.

[Dan Schneier]

Buzz, buzz. Anyone ever heard of it? It's great. Have you ever had the. Oh, my God. The Haagen Dazs coffee. Amazing. I just. I'm stunned at this coffee stuff.

[Adam Azer]

Okay. It's gross. From no Name. Grade the trade. No Name is from Forest Grove, by the way. Three and O, full PPR 10 team league. I offered Ricky Pearsall and Quinchon Judkins for A.J. brown and Chase Brown. He countered wanting a Buka and Judkins, so I gave up a Buka and Judkins for A.J. brown and Chase Brown. Grade the trade.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

I'll say it's a B minus with the hope that Chase Brown turns things around.

[Dan Schneier]

I'll go with A minus here. Not just that I think Chase Brown could turn things around. I think A.J. brown will be the winner of that deal. I also think, like, Judkins, yes, the role's amazing, but it could just be what I expected it to be with the Browns. A lot of running and not a lot of receiving work and a team that doesn't score a lot of touchdowns, which, again, like, that's an 8 to.

[Adam Azer]

10 point weekly output from Chi Town. Mikey. He says hi. Bj, John, Ron and Steve.

[Dan Schneier]

Bj, John, Ron and Steve.

[Adam Azer]

He's from Chicago.

[Dan Schneier]

From Chicago.

[Adam Azer]

You don't. You have no idea who BJ Armstrong is, do you?

[Dan Schneier]

No. I think he's a basketball player, though. Yeah, I think I've heard of that. Is that one of Jordan, P.J.

[Adam Azer]

Armstrong, Ron Harper. And John is a point guard. He says. John Paxton.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

Oh, yeah, John Paxton.

[Adam Azer]

Yeah.

[Dan Schneier]

He's just before my time.

[Adam Azer]

All right, half point PPR2QB league. I have Burrow and Russell Wilson, so I picked up Carson Wentz and I have Caleb Williams not feeling great about my quarterbacks the rest of the way.

[Dan Schneier]

Why?

[Adam Azer]

Because he has. He has went. Because it's a two QB league. One of his quarterbacks.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

Caleb's awesome.

[Adam Azer]

Yeah. Which QB should I try and shoot for? I want to put Judkins, Scatter Boo or even Omarion Hampton on the trading block. Or should I just pick up Jake Browning off waivers? Well, yeah, you should do that just to have a quarterback on your team drop Burrow and drop Wilson. But is there a good buy low quarterback for our man Chai Town or Chi Town, Mikey?

[Jamie Eisenberg]

I mean, I think given the fact of the running backs that you're having, that you have in your offering. Anybody would be buying if they have quarterback depth. So, you know, try. And especially now with injuries, if you're not concerned about long term. You know, in the case of Jayden Daniels, like, if you could turn one of those running backs into Jayden Daniels, I would be doing that in a heartbeat. I would also maybe look to see if the JJ McCarthy manager would be selling cheap. And maybe you don't have to give up one of those running backs by themselves. So at least have the Vikings quarterback situation covered. And Caleb Williams.

[Adam Azer]

Did I say John Paxton? Because I meant Paxton. All right, next email is from Chesky. Should I trade Rashi Rice for Brian Thomas Jr.

[Dan Schneier]

I guess if you need it, fine. But I. I would much rather have Rashid Rice rest the season once he starts playing personally.

[Adam Azer]

All right. Yeah, I would do it. You get three weeks of Brian Thomas.

[Dan Schneier]

Jr. You see, Thomas hurt his. Like, hurt his wrist on the big play he had last week, which was, by the way, busted coverage which got C.J.

[Adam Azer]

Gardner Johnson cut.

[Dan Schneier]

Yeah, No, I didn't say that. Yeah, he's holding his wrist after the play because when he slammed the ball down or whatever.

[Adam Azer]

Really? Oh, that's stressed.

[Dan Schneier]

I think he's probably fine. We would have heard about it already, but he came in.

[Adam Azer]

He came in with a wrist injury.

[Dan Schneier]

Yeah.

[Adam Azer]

So he's been playing through that. Yeah. This is from what's your. Don't have a name here. Ppr.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

I need three questionable and Xavier League has been ruled out.

[Adam Azer]

Thank you. I need three in ppr. One of them has to be a running back. Pierce all. Devonte Smith, Xavier Worthy, Henderson and ETN Pearsall.

[Dan Schneier]

Henderson, you're going Henderson over etn. I can go both, so I'll go both, but yes. I like Henderson a lot this week.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

I'm sorry. Give me a choice. Again, apologize.

[Adam Azer]

Pierce all. Devonte Worthy, Henderson, etn, Pierce hall, anytime for me and Henderson's.

[Dan Schneier]

Henderson's been first up in drills.

[Adam Azer]

We need one more.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

I hope you're right, man. I'm. I'm excited.

[Dan Schneier]

Yeah.

[Adam Azer]

I'll just say Worthy from Justin. I need a flex. Quentin Johnston or Xavier Worthy.

[Dan Schneier]

QJ for me.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

Yep.

[Adam Azer]

From Josh. Someone offered me Jamar Chase for my Malik neighbors.

[Dan Schneier]

It's a no for me.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

I would rather have Chase.

[Dan Schneier]

I'd rather have neighbors.

[Adam Azer]

Okay. He also could offer Nico Collins or JSN for Chase.

[Dan Schneier]

Yeah. No. Or I think. Right.

[Adam Azer]

Yeah.

[Dan Schneier]

Or I would give up Nico and get to do it.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

I still probably want Chase.

[Dan Schneier]

Yeah. And then he's saying give up Nico to get Chase.

[Adam Azer]

Basically. He. He has neighbors, Nico and jsn.

[Dan Schneier]

Right.

[Adam Azer]

Would you trade any of them for Chase?

[Dan Schneier]

Nico?

[Jamie Eisenberg]

Oh, I see. I'm sorry. I would trade JSN for Chase. We saw the downside of Jason.

[Dan Schneier]

Wow.

[Adam Azer]

From Kenneth D.K. metcalf or Brian Thomas Jr. And Dobbins or Hubbard.

[Dan Schneier]

Dobbins. That's the star.

[Adam Azer]

Hubbard BTJ for sure for me.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

Thomas Metcalf. Yeah. Yeah.

[Dan Schneier]

Thomas slightly go Thomas there.

[Adam Azer]

Okay. From David.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

Starter running real quick on Terry McLaurin. Dan Quinn calls him week to week.

[Dan Schneier]

Yeah. Okay. It's better than what it could have been.

[Adam Azer]

Not necessarily week. Week to week sometimes is a placeholder for he's having surgery. I'm not saying he is, but just I'm curious.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

This was my fear, you know, with these guys from the hold ins. Holdouts, how Quinn, Sean Judkins will hold up because he looks fantastic so far without any training camp. And McLaurin, unfortunately, another soft tissue injury.

[Adam Azer]

All right, question from David Half ppr. Pick one of these three running backs. Jalen Warren against the Vikings. Deandre Swift, Travion Henderson.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

I go Warren.

[Dan Schneier]

Yeah, I'll go Warren over Henderson, but.

[Adam Azer]

It'S close and Matt Wheeler wants to know if he should start Henderson over Chase Brown and Matthew golden over Brian Thomas Jr.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

I'm not there with BTJ, but they're very close for me, so if you want to stick with Thomas, you can. And I just thought Brown ranked out of Henderson, but I wouldn't fight you on that one.

[Adam Azer]

Okay. Sorry.

[Dan Schneier]

You said yes on both, man.

[Adam Azer]

You have rookie fever this week, bro.

[Dan Schneier]

It's not just that. I have. And what am I getting at? Brian Thomas doesn't have the floor right now, so it's a similar bet to me to Golden. They're both low floor with high upside, I guess I don't even know if Brian Thomas has high upside, but maybe we should assume he still does. And on the other front.

[Adam Azer]

Yes, we should.

[Dan Schneier]

What? I don't know based on what, but.

[Adam Azer]

Yeah, based on last year, it was talking three games. He had one of the best rookie years ever in terms of yards per outrun. No, no.

[Dan Schneier]

I still love him as a player long term. This. This is not a good rapport with Trevor Lawrence at all.

[Adam Azer]

The commander sound optimistic for Jacoby Crosby. Merit. All right. And I'm optimistic that when we return, we're gonna have the fantasy cops. So let's take one last break here on our mailbag show and come back and settle some league disputes.

[Adam Azer]

Everybody, someone said, did Adam curse? Did I cuss? I did not. Dan would accuse. Dan always says I curse and I don't.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

No, no, no.

[Dan Schneier]

There have been times you have cursed and you claim you didn't, but this was not one of them.

[Adam Azer]

All right, well you know what?

[Jamie Eisenberg]

If I did curse is where if I was mad at him, I'd say a bad word just so you have to edit it out.

[Adam Azer]

If I did curse, then I would expect you to call the fantasy cops. Send in your emails, fantasy footballbsi.com, put fantasy cops in the subject line and let's get those league disputes settled. This is from Tim in a town just north of St. Paul. Tell me if I'm way off here. I overheard two players in my Dynasty league talking about how one was quitting. Ten minutes later they make this trade. I told the league and the commissioner about their conversation. This league has had quite a few questionable trades, but I think this is it for me. On your trade chart it doesn't score that badly, but to the naked eye it seems lopsided. Depending on what you guys say, it may determine whether or not I stay in the league. All right, here's the trade. One team gets Zach Charbonnet, D.J. moore, Tyquan Thornton, Isaiah, likely and a first round pick. So Charbonnet, DJ Moore, Tyquan Thornton, isaiah, likely, and a first round pick for Marvin Harrison Jr, Josh Jacobs and Tyler Warren.

[Dan Schneier]

Yeah, it's a terrible trade.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

Is the team getting the first round pick out of it already?

[Adam Azer]

That's the quitting I mean, this feels like the team that said he was quitting.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

But there's so many players with upside there. I mean, what do you.

[Dan Schneier]

I mean, we're talking about three elite dynasty players. What was it? Warren, Marvin.

[Adam Azer]

I don't know if Marvin Harrison Jr.

[Dan Schneier]

You can say Marvin if you want to say Marvin. Harrison's not an elite dynasty player. I still believe he was. He's probably a top 30 player. Whatever. We don't have to say that. But Warren certainly is. What was the other one?

[Adam Azer]

Josh Jacobs.

[Dan Schneier]

And Josh Jacobs. Maybe he's an older. He's not even Josh Jacobs.

[Adam Azer]

And.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

And again, so much can change. But right now you're looking at no Mark Andrews potentially next year for the Ravens, no Ken Walker next year for the Seahawks. Because they're both in contract situations.

[Dan Schneier]

Yeah.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

First round pick.

[Adam Azer]

Yep.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

And what was the other parts of it?

[Adam Azer]

D.J. moore and Taekwond Thornton like?

[Jamie Eisenberg]

It's not as awful as you would think.

[Adam Azer]

I agree.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

This is not vetoable. This is not something I'd quit the league over.

[Adam Azer]

There you go, Jamie. I love it.

[Dan Schneier]

It's not vetoable. I agree with that. So.

[Adam Azer]

So don't quit the league then, I guess.

[Dan Schneier]

Don't quit the league. Yeah.

[Adam Azer]

All right, listen, take. Take these guys out for some coffee, ice cream, talk it over. Everything will be fine. This one's from Mark from Texas. Dear Archie, Kenny, Bobby and Drew All Saints quarterbacks. Nice quick crush there from Schneier this morning. I'm gonna start the music over. This morning I awake to a manager who dropped Jaden Daniels and Mac Jones to pick up Matthew Stafford and Justin Fields. The manager has been in and out of a 12 team home league live draft since 2008. He's the kind of manager that has been ineffective when setting lineups during hunting season and has never won the league. Is he a genius or do I as the commissioner need to take action as he dropped Jaden Daniels?

[Dan Schneier]

No, no, there's no action to take here. You. This is, you know how I my stance on this. I brought this up every time. Either live with it or you don't live with it. If you, you. If your manager is not clearly very good at fantasy and I'm not trying to be harsh, but if you're dropping Jaden Daniels, you're not very good at this thing, then you either decide. I play with this manager in my league. In poker we refer to this term this manager as a fish. You keep the fish in the league or you want a super competitive league and you get him out for a shark. But those are your options. You can't in season decide this wasn't a good move. We have to put him back on your team.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

I would reach out to the manager and knowing there could be a little bit of a gray area here, because this is not a very skilled fantasy manager, they may just say, oh, okay, I need to fix that. But I would say, as the commissioner, hey, man or woman. You dropped an elite player. Was this on purpose? Because we know how fat fingers work sometimes and you hit the wrong button. And I said this before, I forget what show we were talking about, but, like, sometimes people are driving there. Maybe it was last week's show. You know, you're. You're pushing something and you don't mean to hit drop and you don't see whatever. Some sites don't have an immediate.

[Dan Schneier]

Oh, yeah, if it's a mistake giving the player back.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

Right. But they don't. But what I'm saying is like, hey, Dan, you dropped Jane. Dan's. I say, oh, was I supposed. Oh, man. Oh, yeah. No, I don't want to drop them, you know, like, because somebody's. Yeah, you know, they. They may do it, but.

[Adam Azer]

Can I tell you something? All right, I know what you're saying. Yeah. You should reach out to this guy. I just see a report on my phone.

[Dan Schneier]

Okay.

[Adam Azer]

Jalen Warren's been added to the injury report. He's questionable.

[Dan Schneier]

Yeah.

[Adam Azer]

Do I have to go through every one of my leagues and look for Gainwell and Johnson? I mean, I don't want to do that. It's so annoying.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

Johnson week.

[Dan Schneier]

I should do that myself. Actually, I have a couple things I could use a little RB out.

[Adam Azer]

I mean, which one would you even pick up?

[Dan Schneier]

Well, gain well for me, for sure game.

[Adam Azer]

I mean, am I really okay? We're all in the FFT league together. Let's go to the waiver wire right now.

[Dan Schneier]

And I'll say this as one exception to the last fantasy cop. If the player comes back to you and says, oh, man, I made a mistake. I. I fat fingered it and I dropped Jane Downs. My mistake. But I did it while I was driving my truck on the highway and I wasn't parked. I'm just kidding. Just kidding. We're not getting back into that.

[Adam Azer]

All right, that's it for that episode, for that submission. Here's the last one. It's from Aaron from Indiana. I'm the commissioner of my work league. We have a one quarterback, two running back, two receiver, one tight end, two flex league, but only one bench Spot. This was to stop managers who were inactive from just sitting on players. We have two problems that I'm trying to resolve. One, we play on ESPN and we decide to have extra wins and losses on. I thought this was like sleepers median scoring system, but it works by only awarding the top five highest scoring teams a win. So I decided after two weeks that this is not median system and I removed the setting. But this has affected the league rankings. Is it early enough in the season to make this change or was I wrong? And two, I made a poll to add a second bench spot as it's been harder to make trades and the lack of IR isn't making it any better. The manager in first who wanted zero bench spots is outraged. So I continue with the poll or cancel it. I believe the majority will vote for the second bench spot.

[Dan Schneier]

I'm so confused by everything going on in this league. So let's first start with the number one thing that confused me about this. What is the setting he had on? It's not median scoring. What is it?

[Adam Azer]

It's a. It's add extra wins and losses on ESP.

[Dan Schneier]

Based on what?

[Adam Azer]

I don't know. It's the top five, I guess. I'm guessing it's a 12 team league and instead of the top six getting an extra win, only the top five get an extra win.

[Dan Schneier]

Okay. I, I think that's in a lot of ways accomplishing what you set out to accomplish with median scoring.

[Adam Azer]

Yeah.

[Dan Schneier]

So I think you just keep that as far as the other part. Is this seriously a league where there's no bench and no eye A Harlek. This is insane. Insane. If you have two injuries to starters, you're just like, ah, either cut Jaden Daniels or I got.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

I gotta play a zero this week. Like what?

[Adam Azer]

Yeah, I. I don't know.

[Dan Schneier]

This is fantasy football here. This is the NFL. There's injuries all the time and it's only going to get worse. And what about the bye weeks? This is just. This is nonsensical to me. I'm sorry to say. I don't know how any other way to say this. This just one of the most nonsensical settings I've ever seen done in a league. And that's all I can really say.

[Adam Azer]

Can't change it in season unless it's.

[Dan Schneier]

I think the dire times call for diet like measures. Like you have to add bench spots to a fantasy league.

[Adam Azer]

But. Okay, but what if someone says no? These are the rules, you know?

[Jamie Eisenberg]

Yeah.

[Dan Schneier]

All right. I guess you play on I hope this is a for fun league.

[Adam Azer]

Someone in the chat says this sounds like the dumbest league ever.

[Dan Schneier]

Well, if it sounds like that, it's probably it.

[Adam Azer]

All right, that's it for the podcast.

[Dan Schneier]

I appreciate you supporting the show. Thank you.

[Adam Azer]

Sorry, Aaron. I, I. My personal opinion is you can't change rules once they're instituted.

[Dan Schneier]

That's fair. I usually agree with that.

[Adam Azer]

Unless it's unanimous and you got one guy making a stink and everyone else says, let's add a bench spot, then I might be okay with you adding a bench spot, but maybe this must.

[Dan Schneier]

Be the greatest waiver wire in the history of fantasy football.

[Adam Azer]

Oh, forget it. You know, I mean, forget it. It's ridiculous.

[Dan Schneier]

Don't even read a waiver wire column every week. You just look at your. Just click the players page. Have fun.

[Adam Azer]

All right, we got some Apple podcast questions. I have to. I'm sorry. I forgot to pull them up. So, Dan, what are your weekend plans?

[Dan Schneier]

Well, I had weekend plans, and they've been thrown off by something that happened that I've discussed with you. I won't bring up on air. With that said, I am playing golf on Saturday with the home friends. So very excited about that. Have a little match set up with my friend Kevin, who my whole life has played golf his whole life. I picked it up three years ago, and I have this year gotten lower with my handicap, so I'm giving him strokes for the first time ever in a match. So very excited to see if I can handle my own there.

[Adam Azer]

That's three years, right?

[Dan Schneier]

Three years, yeah.

[Adam Azer]

So that's gonna be. That's gonna be me versus you in tennis next year.

[Dan Schneier]

I highly doubt that. And I actually will be going for O and O next year. Just to give you a little heads up. I'm gonna be training to get O and O.

[Adam Azer]

All right, here's a grade. The trade from.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

How many times have you said that, though?

[Dan Schneier]

The going for O and O? Yeah, yeah. I've been pretty close. I mean, I was O and 4 this year. Oh, and 2 last year. And it's all about stamina, like I said.

[Adam Azer]

Sounds like I'm getting better.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

You are.

[Dan Schneier]

You played much better this year.

[Adam Azer]

The question from I dropped Herbert is he says, I figured out. I figured out how to get my question on the show. Compliment Adam. Two years ago, I said he had better hair than Dan. This time I'll compliment Dan. Hey, Dan, Nice refrigerator. I traded Travis Etienne. I traded Travis ETN for lad McConkey and PPR. Did I win?

[Jamie Eisenberg]

Yes.

[Dan Schneier]

Yeah, that's a win.

[Adam Azer]

Okay. Good job.

[Dan Schneier]

It's buying low. It's nice.

[Adam Azer]

Okay. This is from Juni Jones, dear. Marcus, Bo, Justin and Dylan.

[Dan Schneier]

Marcus, Bo, Justin and Dylan.

[Adam Azer]

Are these Raiders running backs?

[Dan Schneier]

Bo Allen, Mark, or I don't know.

[Adam Azer]

Marcus Allen, Bo Jackson. Bo Jackson, Justin and Dylan.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

Dylan.

[Adam Azer]

Lobby, not on the Raiders.

[Dan Schneier]

Oh, I see what this is. This is. Somebody said in the chat, shout out Papinski. This is Oregon Quarterbacks.

[Adam Azer]

Yeah. Yes. Much, much better guess. Okay, this is a question about making 2 for 1 trades in 14 team leagues. Do you have adjust the value on 2 for 1 trades in the deeper leagues? I'm offering Bill Crosby, Merritt and Juwan Jennings for CD Lamb.

[Dan Schneier]

Yeah.

[Adam Azer]

I mean, yes. I mean, yes, you do. It's not necessarily better to be on the two for one side and on the two side because I'd rather have a CD Lamb than Crosby, Merit and Jennings. But yes, in a 14 team league, it's, you know, it's more advantageous to, you know, if you pull off a two for one trade and you get the two side, the deeper the league, the better that is for you. Okay. Like it's harder to find players on the waiver wire. So. Yes. Make an adjustment. However, I think, well, you're making the right trade. You're getting Lamb. I think Crosby, Merit and Jennings for Lamb is probably a bad trade for the team. Getting. Giving up Lamb.

[Dan Schneier]

Sure.

[Adam Azer]

All right, next up, grade the trade from. Don't even know how to pronounce that. I traded Pickens and A.J. brown for Jameer Gibbs. I have neighbors JSN and Sutton. And I have Christian McCaffrey. So now he has neighbors JSN, Sutton, McCaffrey and Gibbs. That's pretty damn good. But he traded Pickens and A.J. brown for Gibbs in a 10 team league. Full PPR.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

Love that.

[Dan Schneier]

Yeah, I love it. In a 10 team.

[Adam Azer]

And this is the exact opposite. Right? I mean, right. Pickens and Brown in a 14 team league for Gibbs might be okay. Or giving up Pickets and Browns. But in a 10 team league, giving up Pickens and Brown for Gibbs, that's a mistake. Getting Gibbs is a great deal there. This is from hindsight, dear. Tommy, Philip, Lillian and Charles.

[Dan Schneier]

Tommy, Philip, Tommy, Philip characters. That's what I was immediately thinking too. Just with Tommy and Philip.

[Adam Azer]

Yeah.

[Dan Schneier]

Lily and who was the last one?

[Adam Azer]

Charles.

[Dan Schneier]

Yeah, Charles the dad.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

Yeah.

[Dan Schneier]

This is Rugrats characters.

[Adam Azer]

Okay, nice.

[Dan Schneier]

By the way, I saw this like cut up of Rugrats the other night and it's like you. Little did we know, like Tommy's dad was like this insanely depressed character that, like, as a kid, you never focused on. I'll find this was a bad, bad job. I made it.

[Adam Azer]

No, I. I like that kind of stuff. I don't remember much about Rugrats.

[Dan Schneier]

Yeah, I don't remember much as a kid. I'm just like, watching and then it's like there's some dark undertones in the writing here.

[Adam Azer]

How about that? A lot of. Yeah, a lot of that stuff in Disney movies and things like that. All right. I'm 1 and 2 in a 12 team PPR league. CD injury was threatening to sink my season. The trade offers for CD Lamb were terrible, with the best being a risk in Brian Thomas Jr. So I had to get creative. Guy wanted Josh Allen. So I trade Josh Allen and CD Lamb for Lamar Jackson, George Kittle, Travis ETN and Jameson Williams. And then I flipped ETN into Zay Flowers. So he ended up trading Allen and Lamb for Lamar Jackson, Kittle Flowers and Jameson Williams.

[Dan Schneier]

Pretty good. I think he needs. He needs the help now, right?

[Adam Azer]

I feel weird saying this. They'll probably be pretty even, but based on right now and based on last year, Lamar Jackson might be three points better than Josh Allen per game. And right now he's much more than that.

[Dan Schneier]

I think I like that take, but I never really understood preseason why so many. Why there was such a consensus to have Alan ahead of Lamar.

[Adam Azer]

I had Alan ahead of Lamar. Jamie.

[Dan Schneier]

I had Lamar first. And I just didn't understand why we were putting out.

[Adam Azer]

Because Josh Allen has been the same elite guy for four or five years in a row, whereas Alan. Whereas Jackson had this past year. 2024.

[Dan Schneier]

Yep.

[Adam Azer]

What was it, 2018 or whatever? It was 19 when he exploded in between that. Even if you Azer statted it and removed his injured games, he was about 24 to 25 fantasy points per game, which is really good, but nowhere near what Josh Allen was. So I. I valued the consistency of.

[Dan Schneier]

Alan, I think, which I respect. But to me, I felt like that was factoring in way too much of the past when A, Lamar was in completely different systems, B was a completely different passer. And Monk in last season opened up with a passing game in a way that really led to scoring points versus Allen, who's in like a very slow place. Joe Brady offense that runs the ball a lot.

[Adam Azer]

They've actually run the most plays in the NFL going into week four. Yeah.

[Dan Schneier]

This year so far.

[Adam Azer]

Yeah. So far.

[Dan Schneier]

Yeah.

[Adam Azer]

I don't know.

[Dan Schneier]

They played that Ravens game in the first game that's obviously skewing it.

[Adam Azer]

Yeah. No Josh or Lamar Jackson to me. I asked the Twitter poll. I. I don't know what the results were. Who's the best quarterback in football and to me it's Jackson right now.

[Dan Schneier]

You mean not fantasy, just. Just actual football. Oh, that's a great question. I think I would go Lamar, I think who's played the best this year? If you ask me that question from the tape I've watched, it's Justin Herbert.

[Adam Azer]

I could have maybe given you that before the Broncos game, but the throws that Jackson made against the Browns were unbelievable. Right. He was so damn good in that game. And that's another elite defense. Right. So I have.

[Dan Schneier]

I don't disagree with that. I just feel like he's playing with a much better deck of cards. Herbert lost his starting left tackles.

[Adam Azer]

He's playing with a better deck of cards. Without a doubt, Herbert has McConkey, Allen.

[Dan Schneier]

It's not about that. Herbert lost his starting left tackle in the preseason. More importantly, The Chargers are 30th in yards graded in the run game. They have absolutely no run game whatsoever. And he's made Keenan Allen, who we thought was washed, look great and Quinton Johnson, who thought was a first round bus, look great. And their first and pass rate over expectation.

[Adam Azer]

All right, next up from football, Doc Connor. Trade advice 10 team half PPR league. Do I give up a Buka and Tyler Warren and Dobbins for Josh Jacobs and Jacoby Myers. Abuka Warren and Dobbins for Jacobs and Myers in a 10 team league still have McCaffrey.

[Dan Schneier]

No, I would not do that.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

This is redraft.

[Adam Azer]

Yeah. And he has Brock Bowers by the way, so he doesn't need.

[Dan Schneier]

Interesting. That does change it a little bit.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

I mean, Jacob is arguably the best player in the deal, right?

[Adam Azer]

Yeah.

[Dan Schneier]

But he's giving it three quality players. I think so I wouldn't do it.

[Adam Azer]

He's getting two quality players. I mean, I think Jacoby.

[Dan Schneier]

Yeah. I'm saying usually in a three for two, there's like you know, a throw in as the third or something. This is like Tyler Warren. You can get value back in a trade separate with. If you want to give Tyler Warren up.

[Adam Azer]

In my opinion, I think I'm fine with it. But I don't love it. I probably would not do it.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

Sometimes people just trade the trade and this feels like that could be one of them. Yeah, but you are getting, you are getting back to best player and you know, you're consolidating some things because you're never going to play Tyler Warren.

[Adam Azer]

All right, last one here is from Matt, dear. Bart, Ringo and Fish. I got it.

[Dan Schneier]

Bart ring. Oh, these are all the. The Beatles.

[Adam Azer]

Absolutely not. There is no Bart in the Beatles.

[Dan Schneier]

There's no Fish.

[Adam Azer]

There's one beetle in here.

[Dan Schneier]

What is the name again?

[Adam Azer]

Bart.

[Dan Schneier]

Absolutely.

[Adam Azer]

Go and Fish.

[Dan Schneier]

I mean, who's Barton Fish? I don't know.

[Adam Azer]

These are stars. Bart Star, Ringo Star and Starfish.

[Dan Schneier]

All right, all right.

[Adam Azer]

I love it now. It's Game of Thrones.

[Dan Schneier]

Actually, I know Bart Starr. I don't. I. Was it Ringo and Fish Star. I have no idea who the heck those.

[Adam Azer]

Starfish, Ringo Star and Starfish.

[Dan Schneier]

What?

[Adam Azer]

Okay. They're different types of stars.

[Dan Schneier]

Terrible. Terrible. Honestly.

[Adam Azer]

Pick two. And PPR. DeAndre Swift.

[Dan Schneier]

Terrible by me. And them.

[Adam Azer]

Yeah. Morally more you. Swift, Chase Brown, Keon Coleman, DK Metcalf. Pick two. Swift, Chase Brown, Keon Coleman, DK MetCalf.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

The first two running backs.

[Dan Schneier]

Yeah, same.

[Adam Azer]

All right. Okay. Apple podcast. Let's see. What do you got? This is from Albert. Start or sit one in full PPR.

[Dan Schneier]

These are not the podcast. These are. These are YouTube questions.

[Adam Azer]

Okay, YouTube. What do you got? Sit one from Albert.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

By the way, Dan, I finally told Adam something that I noticed about him for years.

[Dan Schneier]

Oh, what? I want to hear this.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

You'll appreciate this. Whenever he gets defensive about something.

[Dan Schneier]

Okay.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

His shoulders go up.

[Adam Azer]

Oh, shoulders.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

It's usually like his hands are here. Like, because he's like, I don't know what you're talking about. You know, So I gotta watch like he gets anime. I noticed this a few years ago, but like it never really like dawned on me like, how often he does it. And it was when Jake used Adam screwing me over in the Dynasty League as a clip for on Instagram.

[Dan Schneier]

Okay.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

It was like a close up on Adam and I was like, yeah, A lot of my shoulders were. I gotta see this.

[Adam Azer]

Okay. Now who are you sitting, lad? McConkey, Keenan Allen or George Pickens?

[Dan Schneier]

Wow. I think I'm sitting keen new. I don't think.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

And also. But I don't love that.

[Dan Schneier]

Yeah.

[Adam Azer]

It's really. I. You don't know what to make of it from three games. But the thing that really concerns me for McConkey is the lack of end zone, red zone, green zone, targets.

[Dan Schneier]

Sure.

[Adam Azer]

He just keeps throwing to Johnston and Allen there and now Gadsden too.

[Dan Schneier]

But yeah.

[Adam Azer]

And these are the things that can change quickly.

[Dan Schneier]

You excited about Gadson, Jamie? He looked really good last week.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

He did. I just don't love the Environment. Because how is he going to get target in this offense?

[Dan Schneier]

Good point.

[Adam Azer]

Yeah, great. Great point. I don't know how you thought about that. Was really Havid Slim says I need a wife.

[Dan Schneier]

Saying it like that. I'm just saying I knew Jamie was a big Gadston guy coming in.

[Adam Azer]

Oh, that's true.

[Dan Schneier]

Yeah.

[Adam Azer]

Coleman, Wicks, Ridley or Diggs? Who are we going with? Keon, Coleman, Don Tavian, Wicks, Ridley or Diggs?

[Jamie Eisenberg]

I would take a chance on the first two, but if you want to maybe play, the most upside might be Wicks and Ridley.

[Dan Schneier]

Yeah, I'm Wicks almost no matter what here. I'm big on Wicks. This week we'll see if I get burned, as we have in the past with Wicks. As far as the second one. What?

[Adam Azer]

Did you do that on purpose?

[Dan Schneier]

What?

[Jamie Eisenberg]

Wick's burned. That's a good one.

[Adam Azer]

That was very good.

[Dan Schneier]

Ever seen that one with. With Nick Cage? The Burning Man? What is it? Wicker Man?

[Adam Azer]

No.

[Dan Schneier]

You never saw that one?

[Jamie Eisenberg]

One movie you've watched in your life is Wicker.

[Dan Schneier]

No, I've just seen some clips from it. It looks crazy. Some witches.

[Adam Azer]

Will you go watch Adaptation? You said your plans got canceled. Watch Adaptation tonight.

[Dan Schneier]

I might need to. I'm, like, stuck here, so I might need to.

[Adam Azer]

And I really think you'll like the show. Platonic. You would definitely will like it.

[Dan Schneier]

What's that? On Paramount, I hope.

[Adam Azer]

No, it's not on Paramount. I don't know what it's on. I want to say losing tv.

[Dan Schneier]

I have so many. I've, like, lost subscriptions because there's just. There's so many.

[Adam Azer]

It's on Apple tv.

[Dan Schneier]

Okay.

[Adam Azer]

I already talked about it earlier today, but it's with Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

Okay.

[Adam Azer]

And there's a great episode with Beck Bennett, who I think is such a funny actor. All right, start two. Carson Wentz, Bryce Young, Matthew Stafford, Marcus Mariota.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

Mariota and Wentz.

[Dan Schneier]

Mariota and Stafford for me.

[Adam Azer]

Okay.

[Dan Schneier]

Even in the matchup, would you trade.

[Adam Azer]

Quinton Johnston for Travion Henderson in ppr?

[Jamie Eisenberg]

I think that's a fair deal. I think if you're gonna do it, you got to do it now because Henderson may blow up this week.

[Dan Schneier]

Yep.

[Adam Azer]

Keenan Allen or DeAndre Swift in half PPR this week?

[Jamie Eisenberg]

Keenan Allen for me.

[Dan Schneier]

Alan for me. I don't know. What's the deal with Swift? Are we expecting him to play?

[Adam Azer]

What's the. Yeah, I think so. I don't think. I just. Yeah, from Theory.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

Fishland was so talented.

[Adam Azer]

What'd you say fish?

[Jamie Eisenberg]

Lennon was so talented.

[Dan Schneier]

Listen, I heard Ringo and I thought beetle.

[Adam Azer]

I don't even know sure about it. Oh, it's the Beatles.

[Dan Schneier]

I just heard Ringo and I just went, right, dude, I'm trying to get these in quick. You have to. When this game, you got to go bang, bang. Like the one I got earlier. It was. You're like. You commended me for you. Like, wow, that was really fast. Good job. So I, you know, built a little confidence in my head, and I was just, bang. I went for it, and I was wrong. I also think it's a terrible. Like other stars. Those aren't stars. What do we talk? Starfish? That's not a person. That's just like a thing.

[Adam Azer]

You're right. You're 100 terrible.

[Dan Schneier]

It's just terrible.

[Adam Azer]

All right, I traded a Ringo. Stars do a poll.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

Funniest things from today. Peed power coffee, ice cream or fish.

[Dan Schneier]

This is leading me down direction that I'm nervous to say. But we'll do it quick and we'll follow up on another show. One of my worst takes of all time that I stand by. It's one of my hottest takes, so it is. The hottest take I've ever had is. I find the Beatles to be an overrated band. Good melodies, good songwriting, overrated instrumentals. Just very overrated from at all. Like, they're not better than Led Zeppelin. They're not better than the Allman Brothers. They're not better than Grateful Dead.

[Adam Azer]

They're different. They're not. They're not that kind of classic rock band. They came before all those. Yeah.

[Dan Schneier]

They're not as good at playing the instruments.

[Adam Azer]

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. That's not true. They are musically. Musically, they're incredibly gifted. You should listen to. You've heard the song. And your bird can sing.

[Dan Schneier]

Yeah. No, they write great songs.

[Adam Azer]

No, the guitar on that is terrific. Although it is two guitars harmonizing, but which is great. They just don't. They're not a band that just solos all the time. But While My Guitar Gently Weeps has a great solo.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

It does.

[Dan Schneier]

They're good. I want to make sure. I want to make this clear because it is my worst take ever.

[Adam Azer]

No, it's your second worst.

[Dan Schneier]

What's the worst?

[Adam Azer]

The one that.

[Dan Schneier]

Oh, the. The one that really bothers you.

[Adam Azer]

Yeah, that's.

[Dan Schneier]

That's a side. It's an insider one.

[Adam Azer]

Yeah. All right, let's get back to this. Traded Brock Bowers and Kareem Hunt for Hunter Henry and Ashton Genti. In Dynasty.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

So it's basically Bowers for Genti.

[Dan Schneier]

Yeah, I do not like that at all.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

The only way I think you win because I don't think it's that far off from player for players. Now. I'd rather have Bowers, but I. I don't think it's that far off is if you're in win now mode and you feel like Henry is going to be close to Bowers and Genti is obviously going to be Genti.

[Adam Azer]

This is from Lou.

[Dan Schneier]

I don't really see the path forward with Genti at all.

[Adam Azer]

That's. That is a wild overreaction after three games.

[Dan Schneier]

It's not about three games. It's about their offensive line and the arts.

[Adam Azer]

They're not going to have the same offensive line for the entirety of his career.

[Dan Schneier]

Oh, this is Dynasty. Oh, I'm so sorry. I am so sorry. Dynasty. I still prefer Bowers, but that's a. That's Jamie's right. It's much closer.

[Adam Azer]

All right. Lou wants to know Mariota Stafford.

[Dan Schneier]

Wait a second. Is this true? Gil Munzo says Eric Clapton solo, so just claim it as the Beatles.

[Adam Azer]

No, no, it's. It's a Beatles song, but Eric Clapton, I think plays the solo in that. But it is still a great guitar song. Okay, thanks for taking the stinking question off the air.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

Is Mario Mariota?

[Adam Azer]

Okay, Would you trade. We did that one. Sorry. KEENAN Allen or DeAndre said we did that one. Sorry, I got to finish up here. Adam's shoulder go up like a muppet. All right. Jecory, Crosby, Merritt, Chris Rodriguez, Kenneth Gainwell or Braylon allen in a 14 team league.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

You'Re gonna see if Jalen Warren is out, it's going to make everybody even more excited on the west coast to wake up for that early game for the inactives. I. If assuming Crosby Merritt and Jalen Warren are out, I would go Gainwell over Rodriguez. I can't see Caleb Johnson doing well against that Vikings defense.

[Adam Azer]

Brian Thomas Jr. Or Michael Pittman. Half PPR.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

Pittman for me.

[Dan Schneier]

Pittman for me.

[Adam Azer]

Just a few more here. Sorry. Why do I not. Okay. Judkins, Henderson, Brian Thomas Jr. DeAndre Swift. Pick two. Judkins Henderson, BTJ Swift.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

First two running backs same.

[Adam Azer]

Okay. Would you trade Chuba Hubbard for Marvin Harrison Jr. In PPR?

[Dan Schneier]

Yes.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

Yes.

[Adam Azer]

Last one. May Love or Daniel Jones and Brian and Brian Thomas Jr. Pittman and half PPR.

[Jamie Eisenberg]

May and Pittman.

[Dan Schneier]

I'm gonna go May and Pittman as well. And someone in the comments said, Dan, would you prefer Nickelback or Beatles. Don't even embarrass me like that. I don't like Nickelback. No.

[Adam Azer]

All right, last one now. Keenan Allen for Cam. Scatterboo and half ppr. Which side wins?

[Jamie Eisenberg]

Oh, Scatter. Boo.

[Dan Schneier]

I still. I think Keenan could be a thing all year. I'm gonna go, Keenan.

[Adam Azer]

I'm looking forward to the Giants fans going. Yeah. Oh, no. For the Giants.

[Dan Schneier]

Yeah. Well, it's gonna go both ways.

[Adam Azer]

Have a great weekend, everybody. We will talk to you on Sunday morning. See you later.
