Introduction

In this episode of the Fantasy Footballers Podcast, hosts Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright delve into favorite quarterback-wide receiver stacks, provide essential commissioner tips, and share the latest training camp news.

Training Camp News and Injury Updates

The episode kicks off with recent developments from training camps, notably the first significant injury scare of the season involving Justin Fields. Fields left Thursday practice with a dislocated toe in his right foot. Initially, there was speculation about a potential ACL injury, but further clarification confirmed it was limited to the toe.

• Andy Holloway [04:21]:
  “Justin Fields was the story. We'll talk about it momentarily in the news. But he wasn't the only one to tweak something in practice and leave the field.”

The hosts discuss the implications of Fields' injury on both his performance and his fantasy value, emphasizing the importance of monitoring such updates closely as the season approaches.

• Jason Moore [04:47]:
  “Don't panic about an injury right now because they cart off pretty much everybody if there is an injury.”

Additionally, updates on other players include Noah Fant visiting the Bengals and Kyle Pitts's performance and prospects for the upcoming season. Pitts' role in the Falcons' offense and his recent injury during practice are scrutinized, with the hosts debating his fantasy viability.

Favorite Quarterback-Wide Receiver Stacks

A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to discussing favorite QB-WR stacks, which are combinations of a quarterback with one of their primary wide receivers—a popular strategy in fantasy drafts for maximizing potential synergy and points.

• Eric [07:07]:
  “What is your favorite wide receiver quarterback stack at their current average draft position?”

Andy Holloway cites the Jalen Hurts and Chase combination as his favorite, highlighting the potential upside each offers.

• Andy Holloway [08:43]:
  “Think Burrow and Chase, that is majestic. That is wonderful.”

Jason Moore prefers a different approach, favoring a high-performing wide receiver paired with a more affordable quarterback to optimize draft value without sacrificing key positions.

• Jason Moore [10:21]:
  “CD Lamb is every bit as good as any other wide receiver in the game.”

Mike Wright introduces an alternative stack with Brock Purdy and George Kittle, suggesting that this combination, though less conventional, could outperform expectations due to Purdy's efficient touchdown rates.

• Mike Wright [11:07]:
  “Brock Purdy and George Kittle. It's kind of off the radar for a stack, but it could end up happier than it looks.”

The discussion underscores the importance of flexibility and not becoming overly committed to a single stack, especially when potential injuries are a concern.

Ultimate Draft Kit (UDK) Update

The hosts introduce a new tool within their Ultimate Draft Kit, designed to help fantasy managers identify the "true value" of players by round, adjusted for league settings and platform-specific ADP (Average Draft Position).

• Andy Holloway [06:17]:
  “We have a new tool we are releasing into the wild very soon. It is going to allow you to identify differences between what we consider the true value of a player by round.”

• Jason Moore [07:16]:
  “It'll show you if you're getting someone where they're being drafted on that platform, who is a value, who you might want to reach for a little bit or who might you want to avoid.”

This tool aims to empower drafters to make more informed decisions, leveraging the hosts' extensive analysis to gain an edge in their leagues.

Commissioner Tips

Transitioning to listener questions, the podcast offers valuable advice for those stepping into the role of commissioner in their fantasy leagues. The hosts emphasize the importance of fairness, neutrality, and fostering an engaging league environment.

• Mike Wright [33:54]:
  “A good commissioner keeps like facilitates the organization of a league in a manner that allows communication to be easy, people to be excited.”

Key tips include:

1. Avoid Unilateral Decisions: Commissioners should refrain from vetoing trades unless there's clear evidence of collusion.
2. Promote Democracy: Major changes should be decided by majority vote to ensure all league members feel included.
3. Maintain Activity: Encourage regular participation through weekly updates and engaging league activities.

• Andy Holloway [36:47]:
  “Don't unilaterally veto trades as a commissioner. Unless there's collusion, which we...”

The discussion highlights common pitfalls commissioners face and provides actionable strategies to create a positive and competitive fantasy environment.

Listener Questions and Discussions

Ashton Genti's Draft Value

Listener Nathan Platt inquires about the draft value of Ashton Genti, questioning whether he is being drafted too high or has the potential to crack the top five running backs.

• Andy Holloway [28:33]:
  “I believe Ashton Genti could end the year as the running back one.”

• Jason Moore [28:36]:
  “I don't think that he's being necessarily overdrafted. I do think he's near his ceiling.”

The hosts analyze Genti's prospects, comparing him to previous high-pick running backs like Trent Richardson and Bijan Robinson, ultimately expressing cautious optimism about his potential to deliver top-tier fantasy performance.

Best Draft Spot Preferences

Listener Matthew asks about the optimal week to set up a live draft date for a fantasy league.

• Jason Moore [31:18]:
  “My recommendation is as late into the preseason as possible. Like the weekend before kickoff is great.”

Hosts agree that setting the draft date late in the preseason allows managers to incorporate the most recent player news and avoid early injury concerns into their draft strategies.

PPR RB2: Omarion Hampton vs. Chuba Hubbard

Listener Aloha Ace seeks advice on selecting a RB2 in a full PPR league between Omarion Hampton and Chuba Hubbard.

• Jason Moore [46:45]:
  “Chuba is a good back and I think he's going to be pretty safe. But when we talk about play style of fantasy football and whether you're really trying to win your league, Omarion Hampton is the better pick.”

The hosts debate the volatility and potential upside of both running backs, leaning towards Hampton for his consistent workload and Carolina's promising offense, while acknowledging Hubbard's reliability when Najee Harris remains healthy.

---

Humorous Banter and Social Media Moments

Interspersed with the main discussions, the hosts engage in light-hearted banter, particularly about Jim Harbaugh's recent antics during training camp, which they found amusing and under-memed.

• Mike Wright [49:30]:
  “Harbaugh would trade his family for a Super Bowl win.”

This segment adds a relatable and entertaining dimension to the podcast, showcasing the hosts' camaraderie and shared sense of humor.

[Jason Moore]

Welcome to the fantasy Footballers Podcast with your hosts, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore and Mike Wright.

[Andy Holloway]

Welcome, man. Saturday, July 26th. It's a bad day to be a lawn.

[Mike Wright]

Oh.

[Andy Holloway]

The Fantasy Footballers. This is actually our last Saturday show because we are right into five days a week in the month of August, which starts on Friday. So.

[Jason Moore]

So we got a Friday show next week we do.

[Andy Holloway]

We have Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and then Monday through Friday for a very, very long time. And very much looking forward to it.

[Mike Wright]

We will not be shook from our schedule.

[Andy Holloway]

No, no. I mean, there's so much more to talk about every single episode. If you notice, the last episode we did that went over by quite a bit from our normal time. It's just there's too much to talk about. You get to the top of these shows, you get these camp highlights and rumors swirling around. Today. We've got news to talk about because you.

[Mike Wright]

We have. We had our first. Near our first injury scare. Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. Because we naively forget a little bit that that's part of what August is unfortunately about. I mean, there will be a few. Justin Fields was not the only one to talk about. We're recording this, by the way, Thursday afternoon. So we're recording this early just in case there are other significant injuries that happen because they might be.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, I thought you were saying we're recording early because we don't want to talk about them.

[Andy Holloway]

What? Because we'll just skip it if we record on time? No, Justin Fields is the story. We'll talk about it momentarily in the news. But he wasn't the only one to tweak something in practice and leave the field. And everybody holds their breath and you have all these thoughts and projections and things you expect and are looking forward to, and it is possible that they get completely undermined by injury or.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, I mean, the way that legal trouble, the way that the Justin Fields thing was reported, at least the first one that I saw was Justin Fields carted off the field, which is. It was true that he was on the car, but it was like he walked off field, he got taken a look at, everyone gets it and then.

[Mike Wright]

Just had a car for. Rule of thumb, if you're reading through, don't panic about an injury right now because they cart off pretty much everybody if there is a. An injury. They don't want them to have to walk all the way back inside. They're just.

[Andy Holloway]

I would like to be carted.

[Mike Wright]

More like a shuttle if I got card.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, that's what they shuttled to the locker room. That sounds like a delightful time.

[Andy Holloway]

There's no reason to walk, right?

[Mike Wright]

Exactly.

[Andy Holloway]

No reason to walk when you need to get an X ray or get something checked out or. I mean, I don't want to walk. I would like to be carted. I'd be. I'd like to be carted to the field.

[Jason Moore]

They could still segue with like a torn acl.

[Mike Wright]

You mean segue probably would be a bit harder, bro.

[Jason Moore]

One in two Segway people just crash.

[Andy Holloway]

We don't need the acl.

[Mike Wright]

Get them on.

[Andy Holloway]

Those Segways are not a thing anymore, by the way.

[Jason Moore]

Are they not?

[Andy Holloway]

No.

[Mike Wright]

Who's the electric scooter company?

[Andy Holloway]

They came and went.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, Bird makes electric scooters. There's a lot of companies.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, jump on one of those. Segway, the segue maker.

[Jason Moore]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, yeah.

[Jason Moore]

The nine months.

[Andy Holloway]

The good unit. I don't know what he's talking about.

[Mike Wright]

Okay, let's start the show.

[Andy Holloway]

But I'd take a cart to and from the field every day.

[Jason Moore]

Shuttle.

[Mike Wright]

Yes, the.

[Andy Holloway]

So we have a quick question we're going to jump into. I did want to let the people know out there, those of you that already have the 2025 ultimate draft kit, those of you that are thinking about getting it, we have a new tool we are releasing into the wild very soon. It is going to allow you to identify differences between what we consider the true value of a player by round. So we have our rankings and then we look at your league setup and the amount of teams in your league and your platform and we're able to kind of give you a true value on where we think players belong in the draft. And then we're coming out with a tool to let you compare that true value, that real value that we're giving you with the differences of platform, adp, so Sleeper, espn, Yahoo, whatever you play on. A lot of people in your league are going to draft based on their average draft position and the list that the platforms give them during the draft.

[Jason Moore]

Yep.

[Andy Holloway]

We wanted to give you a tool to take advantage of them and let you know what the true value of a player is versus where you think or they may be drafted in your league.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah. In both directions. So it'll show you basically if you're getting someone where they're being drafted on that platform, who is a value, who you might want to reach for a little bit or who might. Who to avoid. So I think it'll be a very straightforward, easy, awesome tool.

[Andy Holloway]

So that's coming very soon to the Ultimate Draft Kit. You can learn about everything else that's a part of the number one draft kit@ultimate draft kit.com get you prepped up. August is going to be here. Drafts are going to be here very, very soon. 100 plus player profile videos, all of our sleepers, breakouts, bus values, player projections, and they're being updated all the time. I know after our last episode talking through the Godwin injury, there were some adjustments to Tampa Bay finding out that he had a second procedure. Things change, right? The magazine that gets printed out, it's fun to read, but things change too quickly nowadays and we got too much news and information that things have to stay, you know, a little bit pliable. And we move. We move players around based on how Things are changing with depth charts and things like that. So that's ultimate draftkit.com Our quick question today comes from YouTube. Eric writing in what is your favorite wide receiver quarterback stack at their current average draft position? You guys took like high value quarterback situations for your selections. I didn't, I just went Chase and Burrow.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, that's the most fun one.

[Andy Holloway]

It is also my favorite to answer.

[Mike Wright]

Your question, but you better have the 101 or at worst the correct.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, that one is not a. You don't get to opt into that one very easily. But it is my favorite so I answered the question. I wanted to do one from the high end, the top end of the, of the choices. It's interesting because the when I think about it like Burrow and Chase, that is, that is majestic. That is wonderful. But you look at the other upper echelon quarterbacks, you know, Allen, Lamar, those don't have organic stacks to them. Like there's not really, you know, what's the Allen stack? Shakir, that doesn't feel like a stack.

[Jason Moore]

A stack.

[Andy Holloway]

And you know, Zay Flowers, Bateman, DeAndre Hopkins, that Mark Andrews, none of those feel like they are there for Jackson. So for the upper tier, I mean you can go hurts Hertz and AJ Brown was my second high end choice because I do believe AJ Brown is undervalued and Hertz is the bottom of the top four in terms of adp. So that would be my other selection. If you don't have the one or two pick, I'd go A.J. brown and Jalen Hertz.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, for me I was looking for, I usually like a stack where I can get a really, really good wide receiver and then a cheap quarterback that works together. This was a stack that two years ago literally won everybody fantasy football championships. Andy, you got the championship two years ago off this stack. It's Dak and CD Lamb. I know you're not quite as bullish as I am on the outlook for Deck, but I think their defense is going to be much worse this year for the Cowboys, their running game probably near non existent.

[Mike Wright]

It's probably worse.

[Jason Moore]

CD Lamb is every bit as good as any other wide receiver in the game. And he's, you know, being drafted in the first like Chase, but he's the middle of the first so you've got a much better chance of getting him. And if I were to grab CD Lamb in that draft, like if I'm at pick five, pick six, pick seven and I decide to pull the trigger on Lamb, I'm waiting And I'm getting dak in the 10th, 11th round. I'm not going to pull the trigger on, you know, a fourth round Joe Burrow just because I like Joe Burrow.

[Andy Holloway]

It's very interesting because I kind of want Mike to share his first. But then I have a question for both of you as I see one possible challenge to your selections.

[Jason Moore]

Okay.

[Andy Holloway]

And I want to get your feedback but I want Mike's first because it's a similar vein with the later round double digit round quarterback.

[Mike Wright]

So I will say first. The. My answer to this question for most of the off season has been Justin Fields, Garrett Wilson of. I believe in Garrett Wilson this year and I think that Justin Fields is worth the price of admission. The chance that it works out. It's not a guarantee but with the injury. We'll talk about that. I'm not going to say that one. So I thought about it. George Kittle is one of our favorite picks of the entire draft. Currently holding in the fourth round. Might sneak into the back of the third even then. I'm okay with that. But it was, it's Brock Purdy and George Kittle. It's kind of off, a little bit more off the radar for when you're thinking about a stack. But I think that that could end up and purdy's in the 10th round. So I think that's a stack that could end up happier than it looks. You know, going into the season while we're doing all our projections because things, things shift, quarterbacks move around. Brock Purdy has had time of being a really high touchdown percentage thrower. You know, so the amount of attempts that turn into a touchdown, it wasn't as great last year, but it's in there.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. So my, my one question is funny that you brought up specifically. If I take CD here, I'm waiting for Dak here. That was kind of what I was going to bring up is when you have a, you know, Dak and Purdy are double digit round quarterbacks. Is there the risk when you're excited to have that stack and these guys are not in the top 12 by ADP that you feel like you're making a commitment that you might. It could be detrimental. Like if you want a stack. Yeah, it's take that player and you're. Could you become afraid to pivot from them quickly or like in your case that you just said you would pass on some other guys that you like just to get that stack later. But maybe you're more confident in Dak.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, my confidence in Dak is fairly high, so I'm not that worried. Obviously, I do think it's important if you grab a Dak Prescott, if you grab Brock Purdy, you don't just. Those aren't quarterbacks where you need to be locked in and say, well, because I've got a stack, I'm never going away from Dak Prescott. That would be foolish. There's a reason they're in the double digit rounds because there are ways that it doesn't go great for these guys. But, but at the same time, it's very, very achievable and it's very, very affordable. You know, Dak is in the 11th round.

[Mike Wright]

I would take him in the ninth.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, that's exactly the words I was going to say. Ninth round, whatever. It doesn't matter. At that point, you're not sacrificing stud running backs and wide receivers. You're. You're getting the guy you want. And to be honest, it's like, okay, right now it gives me clarity in my draft. Like, do I like Dak Prescott more or less than Brock Purdy or Kyler? You know, I like Kyler more, but it's like I like having a target. I like knowing what I'm doing.

[Andy Holloway]

It almost feels like you do have to spend more to make sure you get it in that situation.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, but it's a couple cents.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, yeah, yeah, just a couple. I mean, a round or two.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, sometimes. And know your league, right? Because I would guess that the league that is getting Dak Prescott, like where he's being drafted in most people's leagues is either right at ADP because that's just who's available, or it's the, you know, look at your teams. It's the team that took CD or the team that took George. Because I would also say that with George would be great.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, I like the stack. With George Pickens. The only thing you have to.

[Andy Holloway]

I'm just laughing because the George is.

[Mike Wright]

Like, like, I think that's.

[Jason Moore]

I will only call him George.

[Andy Holloway]

It is always George Pickens foot clan. I will do my best to remind.

[Mike Wright]

You if your target becomes Dak Prescott because you have CD Lamb, I think honestly, the George Pickens, whoever drafts it, that's the only team you got to actually be concerned about going to be hyper targeting Dak.

[Andy Holloway]

If Jason, let me put you to the test here because I'm curious. Dak is the first pick of the 11th round right now. Bo Nix is the second pick of the eighth round. Let's say you get in it's 906. So Bo Nix has dropped around and a half. But to get Dak, you're probably going to need to pull the trigger here. And you have CD Lamb on your team. Which player do you select?

[Jason Moore]

So I'm pretty bullish on Bo Nix. I like him a lot. He is much higher ranked in my rankings than even where he is going. Average Rapisage. So he drops down to the ninth. I will probably take him, but there are ways in which that doesn't go well. I would have no problem double tapping, you know, if Dax there at ADP in the 11th, great, I'll take him too. And you know, not being committed to the every week start playing matchups and having two options that could both in their own right end up being high end.

[Mike Wright]

Kyle just gave us a scorcher, he says over the last two years, the Dallas stack of which Kyle, I assume you're saying with CD Lamb and Dak Prescott in full, Dax starts that is an important qualifier. 38 points per game for the two of them. That's the same as the Joe Burrow, Jamar Chase Stack over the past two years.

[Andy Holloway]

I mean it's been incredible. I mean we've talked about at length about Dallas.

[Mike Wright]

I think Dak is so undervalued.

[Andy Holloway]

The biggest thing that we've talked about is, you know, Sam Darnold was great in a clean pocket. Dak has spent the majority of his career with a top five, top ten offensive line.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

How do things go for Dak in that regard and can they execute the offense that is changing hands again? So, you know, new head coach, new offensive line, do things just go back to normal? CD Lamb thinks they will if you listen to him talk.

[Mike Wright]

Well, he doesn't want to talk about how great he is, Andy.

[Andy Holloway]

Right. Yeah. I mean part of it is, it's like, okay, if all of this were a guarantee, Dak would not be drafted here. Yeah, well, that's the reality is it is a. We know what the upside is. And the upside is best in the league wins you a title. There aren't a lot of players that have that kind of upside.

[Jason Moore]

Dak Prescott has a year with four games started, a year with 12 games started and a year with eight games started. Three different seasons where he was unfortunately, you know, season ending injury. And he did not have great fantasy years. Every other year of his entire career, which is six other seasons he's been a top 12 quarterback three times in the top six.

[Andy Holloway]

Now, did you learn about his injuries from Jerry Jones's press Conference did he informed about.

[Jason Moore]

He's very upset about paying signing a contract for a player who might not even play.

[Andy Holloway]

He did. He did seem to hold them accountable for missing the time.

[Mike Wright]

Well, you got. I mean, it's a slippery slope, Andy. You can't letting guys get away with being having a fractured ankle.

[Andy Holloway]

It is. It is a slippery slope. That's not how we tell them to.

[Mike Wright]

Look in the mirror and think about whose fault it was.

[Jason Moore]

Keep that foot on is what Jerry's saying. Dak, that was so selfish to have your foot removed from your body.

[Mike Wright]

Someone had just paid you money. That was selfish.

[Andy Holloway]

Not how they did it back in the 30s. All right, into the news.

[Jason Moore]

News and notes from around the league.

[Andy Holloway]

Alrighty. We've got some stuff to talk about. Justin Fields left practice on Thursday with a dislocated toe in his right foot. This was, we're recording Thursday afternoon. That was this morning. First he was carted off, then there was some news that, hey, they didn't, you know, why'd they take the. Why'd they take the cleat off if his knee was hurt? Because they were worried about acl. And then it became the foot and then became the toe and it was. We were hoping it would go to toenail, but it just stayed at the toe.

[Mike Wright]

Yep. We don't know as of right now what toe it was, but no, it.

[Andy Holloway]

Wasn'T the big one. The process of elimination.

[Mike Wright]

We know that the jets have like their official social media accounts came out and listed him as day to day, so should be a nothing burger.

[Jason Moore]

Should be okay. But I still, I still do it for a mobile rushing quarterback.

[Mike Wright]

Well, in a brand new offense. So yeah, you need to pay attention if he misses, if he ends up missing two weeks of camp. I mean, now we're in a big deal because you're running into the season.

[Andy Holloway]

Kyle Shanahan said he'd be surprised if Ricky Pearsall wasn't practicing by Sunday.

[Mike Wright]

Okay.

[Andy Holloway]

Kevin Stefanski said it's fair to say Jerome Ford is the team's top running back right now. Fair to say is also what we would say about it when Quinton Judkins isn't playing and you have a or under contract, 4th round Dylan Sampson to compete and Ford has been established there and so.

[Mike Wright]

But don't worry. Ford has been missing some practices, but he'll be okay.

[Andy Holloway]

He's dealing with something. Maybe.

[Mike Wright]

Okay.

[Andy Holloway]

Playing for the Browns, Jordan Schultz reported that free agent Noah Fant will visit the Bengals.

[Mike Wright]

He's like, oh, now you want me around huh.

[Andy Holloway]

Well, Noah Fant was a money problem.

[Mike Wright]

I was talking about Jerome Ford.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, okay. Yeah. Sorry. Noah. Fantastic. Still just 28, I think. And so the Bengals looking into him. It would suck because I think Kasiki is like kind of a week to week, you know, he's desperation play for.

[Jason Moore]

Those games that T. Higgins miss.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah.

[Jason Moore]

You know, which we know is usually coming. You throw in Gasicki or maybe no.

[Mike Wright]

Offhand, Noah Fant has been very disappointing.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. Kyle Pitts, by the way, has been.

[Mike Wright]

Working oh my gosh.

[Andy Holloway]

With the Falcons wideouts. And then all the. All the camp news is, oh, we're giving the ball to Kyle Pitts who by the way, 24 and on the last year of his contract.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, contract year. Young man, go earn the next bag.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, he's not going to do that.

[Jason Moore]

Well, he is. I mean, you know that Kyle Pitts is going to get a big money offer to this off season unless he comes out and just completely collapses.

[Andy Holloway]

I don't know if that's a consistent young.

[Jason Moore]

I promise big money though.

[Andy Holloway]

Like top. Top tier.

[Jason Moore]

Yes. He will get a.

[Mike Wright]

What's fall on?

[Andy Holloway]

I guess 600 subs.

[Mike Wright]

Hold on. What yardage total is fall on face like 400 yards. Okay, so his sophomore year when he missed.

[Andy Holloway]

I was hoping you forgot that. All right, so Kyle Pitt's getting a lot of attention. I mean we. This is his time of year. He's actually been one of the most dominant off season tight ends that I've been around since my fantasy career began. So is there.

[Jason Moore]

Is there a world. So like we're super.

[Andy Holloway]

Trey Burton. Trey Burton is a good dominant offseason tight end as well.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, he got the bag.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah.

[Jason Moore]

So we are very early. Training camp just started this week just a couple days ago for most of these teams. This is where, you know, two, three days into camp, obviously all the news I was how great Cow Pitts dominated. He was the clear number one target in the 11 on elevens. Oh, he's being a monster. Whatever. And we brush it off and we joke it aside. Is there something that could happen this off season, this training camp, this preseason to make you actually do it again? So go into this year.

[Andy Holloway]

And then he went down at practice with a trainer. So if you.

[Jason Moore]

He did.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh yeah, he did. Oh, I missed that after a diving catch. So we don't know the status.

[Mike Wright]

He's probably fine.

[Andy Holloway]

To answer the question, if we went into the season one weapon short, maybe. Look, he's 24. He had a great rookie season.

[Jason Moore]

You know what the Actual temptation level is.

[Andy Holloway]

Here's the truth that nobody wants to hear. And I'm not trying to advise you. Draft Kyle Pitts. You talked about him getting a big money deal and you look at the yardage he put up. He was over 600 yards for the last two years. If you grade that on a scale of what he should have been, it sucks. If you grade it on a scale of what's pretty okay for a tight end, 600 plus yards and, you know, 50 plus catches. You know what was. He had 90 targets two years ago. It's serviceable, right? It's not special. And we needed special for the draft price. And we've needed special for four years. And I won't touch him.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah. For fantasy.

[Andy Holloway]

That's the story is 600 plus yards is what you're going to get. So a streaming option. He should do stuff, right?

[Jason Moore]

He should. He should. But will he.

[Andy Holloway]

But not special stuff.

[Jason Moore]

I just hope he can run faster than.

[Andy Holloway]

Mike is not even speaking. He doesn't even want to wait. He doesn't want his voice.

[Jason Moore]

I feel it, guys.

[Mike Wright]

So I have a lot of heavy takes out there in the ether right now. I don't need to be attached to Kyle Pitts.

[Jason Moore]

But I will say this. Having. Having, you know, posed these questions, I can tell that there is greater than 0% of Andy Holloway, no greater than 0, that thinks there's a path for him to be really successful. Mike is at zero.

[Andy Holloway]

Only one of us in this room went out and traded for him on purpose in Dynasty. And it wasn't me.

[Jason Moore]

That's true.

[Andy Holloway]

That was me and it wasn't Mike.

[Jason Moore]

But for the record, I paid jack squat. I got. I'm buying on the penny scale. I'm not. I didn't not go out and, you know, trade for Kyle Pitts because I think, you know, he's going to be.

[Andy Holloway]

Here's who you draft Kyle Pitts ahead of. Let me give you that list. You draft him ahead of Pat Friarmuth.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

You draft him probably ahead of Gasicki, Kate Otten. You draft him ahead of the slowest man on earth, Dong.

[Jason Moore]

So.

[Andy Holloway]

Those are the guy. The low upside guys. You might as well just take Kyle Pitts just in case.

[Mike Wright]

100%.

[Andy Holloway]

So that's the story. And that's all we're going to say.

[Jason Moore]

About what is Dalton Kincaid. Kincaid, Kincaid or Pitts?

[Andy Holloway]

Because I feel like I would take Kincaid.

[Mike Wright]

I would take Dalton Kincaid.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, he's at 12, by the way.

[Mike Wright]

He hasn't disappointed me that many years in a row.

[Jason Moore]

No, we know he hasn't been there long enough. Give him time.

[Mike Wright]

Oh yeah, I'm not saying we aren't going to get there.

[Andy Holloway]

That is the funny thing. Like Dalton Kincaid's rookie season, about 670 yards receiving and Pitts has had 600 plus the last two years. So they're both just equally disappointing. That is it. For news and notes, we will take a break and hit the mailbag.

Nothing entertains us more than you calling the voicemail hotline and maybe making a slight mistake in your attempt to ask a question. We do.

[Jason Moore]

Those are fun.

[Andy Holloway]

We do get entertained by that. But let's start out here. Go ahead, Mike.

[Mike Wright]

Nathan. Nathan Platt.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, thanks, buddy. Here we go into a voicemail.

[Jason Moore]

What's up, ballers? This is Nathan, longtime supporter of your show. Love everything you guys do. Keep it up. My question for you is do you think Ashton Genti is being drafted too high at his ceiling like we saw Marvin Harrison Jr. Being drafted at last year? Or do you think he could crack that top five heartbeat for the year? Appreciate it.

[Mike Wright]

Guys, this is Nathan who had the, the voicemail one in the same game. He's not a quitter.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, he came back with a vengeance. Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

Please sound like a guy who didn't mess up the first time.

[Mike Wright]

Joe was excellent.

[Jason Moore]

I mean, we don't know, you know, maybe, maybe he didn't. Maybe, maybe there were two guys named the same.

[Andy Holloway]

I believe Ashton Genti could end the year as the running back one.

[Jason Moore]

Okay, that is a quick and easy answer for that one. I don't think that he's being necessarily overdrafted. I do think he's near his ceiling. But when you're, when you're drafted that high, I mean, that's, that's pretty good ceiling. A lot of those guys are. I think Bucky Irving is being drafted, you know, very much at his ceiling. But Genty, the thing that holds him back from like the number one overall to me is just simply do you think that the Raiders offense is going to have enough scoring opportunities for him to, you know, have 10 touchdowns?

[Andy Holloway]

That. That's. Are they. Are the Falcons a guaranteed to be an offense better than the Raiders? I don't think so, no.

[Jason Moore]

But they play such an easy division. They'll have games where they are with.

[Andy Holloway]

You know, splitting hairs. I look at both of those guys as I think both can finish number one.

[Mike Wright]

I, yeah, I'm okay with the gentee draft price, but I get it. It is a little scary. I think that the Falcons offensive line is better and so you think that.

[Andy Holloway]

Genti can't where's his range of outcomes?

[Mike Wright]

No, I think it's possible like your small probability that he could finish as the overall number one running back. Especially with the guys we have going this year. And the question comes down to do they spend. What was he pick number five?

[Jason Moore]

I believe so.

[Mike Wright]

Wait, no. What pick did you. Four, five, six.

[Andy Holloway]

Are you talking about Genti?

[Jason Moore]

Four, five, six. He was picks four, five and six. He was the sixth pick.

[Mike Wright]

Six. Yeah, because five was the Jags and then they moved.

[Andy Holloway]

Okay, like I said 6.

[Mike Wright]

Spending the 6th overall pick on a running back to not feature that running back would be idiocracy.

[Jason Moore]

I mean with a depth chart they could have spent anything.

[Mike Wright]

Like that's what all I'm saying is that's if anything can go wrong, it's the coaches outsmart themselves and waste a draft asset like Ashton Jetty.

[Jason Moore]

When is the last time Pete Carroll took a first round running back and decided to not give him Bell Cow.

[Mike Wright]

You are kind of proving the point. Yeah, he will obviously not that high up but. But that yes. For those who are new to the game, Rashad Penny who what it could have been and then Rashad Benny did could not beat out what like last pick of the draft, Chris Carson.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. I mean you get a little hairier when you're in the 20s and you're drafting rookie running backs. But Matthew writes in off of X says how early is it to set or how early is too early to set up your live draft date for your league. When do you set yours up to.

[Jason Moore]

Wait till like set it up now. But what date should your draft be? My recommendation is as late into the preseason as possible. Like the weekend before kickoff is great. We have hours on. Is it labor? We're Labor Day, labor day, which is September 1st.

[Andy Holloway]

It's as late as we can do it while everybody can still make it. That's what we do.

[Mike Wright]

It's as late as possible. I mean things are different now the way because you know, it used to be. We all know that week three because there was four weeks of preseason. Week three is the dress rehearsal where the starters will go out and they will typically play an entire half. Feel like that doesn't happen.

[Andy Holloway]

No, it doesn't.

[Mike Wright]

Because I mean we only have the three preseason games you have in like week two. They're not going to throw everybody out there for a half. So it preseason is is far more different when you're talking the risk of injuries in a game practice. Of course the risk of injury is still there, but it is Not. I don't think it's nearly as important to go as late late as possible.

[Andy Holloway]

As it used to be going back 10 years. Do you want to know the running backs taken in the top 10? If you want a memory refresher when we look at Genti.

[Jason Moore]

Sure.

[Mike Wright]

Trent Richardson.

[Andy Holloway]

Trent Richardson. You go back further for Trent Richardson. That's 2012.

[Jason Moore]

Are we going back to the Christian McCaffrey, Leonard Fournette, draf.

[Andy Holloway]

That's 2017. McCaffrey was eight, Fournette was four. Zeke was four overall the year before. Saquon was two in 2018. Bijan was eight in 2023. Genti was six last year. And then if you keep going back, you go Trent Richardson, which ironically, if you don't.

[Jason Moore]

I was going to say he was not. He was a. This is 100% hit rate. It's pretty cool as far as being good for for those top ten picks. Trent Richardson. After that rookie year, Bijan.

[Mike Wright]

Bijan finished at 9. He was only 12.8 points per game.

[Andy Holloway]

I feel like he's a good example.

[Mike Wright]

He was a disappointment of ap.

[Andy Holloway]

That's a good example of what the range of outcomes is, I think because it's not like Bijan was a bad player. It's just his circumstances, what the team needed from him. Other backs, like, dude, they used Tyler.

[Jason Moore]

Algier way too much his rookie year. It was infuriating.

[Mike Wright]

And he had four. He had four receiving, but he only had four rushing touchdowns.

[Jason Moore]

Oh, and you remember how much red zone work Algier got his year? Yes, I do. Oh goodness, Arthur.

[Mike Wright]

Dirty, dirty man.

[Andy Holloway]

All right, we are back into a voicemail question.

[Jason Moore]

Hey, ballers, I'm taking over as commissioner for my fantasy football league. Any general advice about taking over from the commissioner?

[Andy Holloway]

Thanks.

[Mike Wright]

It's commissioner tips. Yeah, we hear rule with an iron fist.

[Andy Holloway]

We hear so many questions every year about basically bad things commissioners do. So I think one angle you could take is some of the things that have been absolutely insane, which is like not considering the opinions of the rest of your league. Right. We our leagues are majority vote or super majority vote for all of our significant league. We certainly don't do things that we've heard commissioners do. Like I just changed the way the rules work after the week to benefit the commissioner or other people in the league. Like neutrality, you know, democracy and activity. If you want to look to the positive side, a good commissioner keeps like facilitates the organization of a league in a manner that allows communication to be easy, people to be excited. For so many years, we did things like weekly write ups about teams and how they performed trade reviews. You don't have to do all that other stuff, but just keeping the league active. A couple really good managers, like the commissioner can be one of them and then a couple more, like two or three super active, energetic people can define an entire league and get everybody on board. They really can't. They can move the needle. We've had leagues where we lose one or two people that we didn't want to lose because they had. They just had something going on. They wanted to leave the league. And you miss them. You miss the activity.

[Mike Wright]

That is correct. We have.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

Wait, what do you have? It's not. I'm not breaking. It's not breaking news, but Najee has been spotted at photographs practice. Now, he is wearing gigantic sunglasses and a hoodie. So we cannot get a.

[Jason Moore]

We've been waiting to see.

[Mike Wright]

I'm zooming in on this. I'm trying.

[Jason Moore]

I gate.

[Mike Wright]

But he's at least there.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, he's there. I feel like he's trolling us. You know what I mean? I hope. I hope he's trolling us. I hope, like, you know, here's the.

[Andy Holloway]

Funny thing is you could, I mean, if you. If you wanted. You're practicing outside. You play games in a helmet with a visor. He doesn't ever have to show us. You could never see it again. He can keep that eye secret as long as he can play football. So you guys. You guys were both reacting. I was giving commissioner information.

[Jason Moore]

It was great info, dude.

[Andy Holloway]

You guys saw. You don't know what I was saying. You saw Najee, though, appearing at camp. Okay.

[Mike Wright]

We had to dive in.

[Andy Holloway]

Do not unilaterally veto trades as a commissioner.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

Yes.

[Jason Moore]

Also don't have a veto, period.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah. Yep. Turn that off.

[Andy Holloway]

Unless there's collusion, which we.

[Jason Moore]

Well, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

You can kick someone out for collusion.

[Jason Moore]

So you can't cancel a trade, but don't have like the 24 hour window or the 48 hour window for trades to be approved once.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. 1996 called. It wants its rules back. Anything else for commissioners that you want to mention?

[Mike Wright]

Just be cool, man.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, just be cool.

[Andy Holloway]

Don't be a loser.

[Jason Moore]

That's really good.

[Mike Wright]

I mean, it's good tips, right?

[Andy Holloway]

Let's go over to the Deucers because I know nobody's better on the mic than Matt over there. Matt, are you the commissioner of any leagues? Yeah, of a couple, actually. So are you looked. Do people look up to you in those leagues? Are you A good commissioner? Yeah, I'm the best commissioner. Okay. They respect me a lot. They do, yeah. They love me. And do you rule? I mean, any of these things we say, have you gone against them? Like, are you unilateral in anything? No. No vote on everything. Have you had to kick anybody out? Yeah, I kicked out my brother one year.

[Jason Moore]

No.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

Good. He's back, but he colluded.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, wow.

[Jason Moore]

You let a colluder back.

[Andy Holloway]

Did he sign a document promising he wasn't going to do that?

[Jason Moore]

He forged a document.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, it was about three year ban. Oh, that's a good band. I mean, I guess you don't have to like. Like, if someone colludes, are you done with them? I mean, are they. Is that a lifetime band?

[Jason Moore]

I don't know, man. That's. That's.

[Andy Holloway]

What if they're just a young kid just finding their way in the world?

[Jason Moore]

Yeah. I don't know. Let's say. Let's say Calvin Ridley, you know, he got his ban for betting right? On sports. But what if he was betting on the Falcons? Do you let him back? Does the NFL let him back?

[Andy Holloway]

Pete Rose says no, they don't.

[Mike Wright]

Right.

[Jason Moore]

Well, I mean, that was a different world. Also, Falcon way to fly. We were working, we were practicing before the show how to fly.

[Andy Holloway]

Almost covering his mouth when he talks.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

But he did do better.

[Jason Moore]

And so I'm very proud of you.

[Andy Holloway]

Thank you. Kyle would like the world to know you're an idiot if you bet on the Falcons.

[Jason Moore]

Well, I mean, when I say bet on the Falcons, I don't mean to win. You could bet on them to lose.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, that would be a big problem. Yeah. Pete Rose always bet on his team to win and they didn't let him.

[Jason Moore]

See, I don't see why that's that big of a problem.

[Mike Wright]

I didn't want to get into this conversation.

[Andy Holloway]

Pete Rose conversation?

[Jason Moore]

No, the bet on your own team to win. What is wrong with that? What is wrong with that? Like, quickly?

[Mike Wright]

I mean, like, I'm going to have.

[Jason Moore]

To play so much harder now.

[Andy Holloway]

There's nothing independently in a vacuum. That narrow channel of betting, there shouldn't be anything that is bad about that.

[Jason Moore]

I think it's just the slippery slope argument. You can't. You've got to have a hard and fast rule.

[Andy Holloway]

You betting on the game just. You just can't have that be part of this.

[Jason Moore]

Right, I get it, I get it. But at the same time, the people.

[Mike Wright]

Who pay you are literally betting on you to go win the game for your Team.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

You certainly can't do any lines or your performance or your yards or anything like that.

[Jason Moore]

Yes. Just to your team to win. The NFL should have one rule. You can bet on your team to win Moneyline or just part of their.

[Andy Holloway]

Contract every week gets put in.

[Jason Moore]

Oh, yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

Their money gets conditioned on, you know, I mean, a bet.

[Jason Moore]

Are there. Are there. I wonder if there's contracts for just wins and losses. Yeah, there's. There's wins.

[Andy Holloway]

This is why Mike didn't want to have his car.

[Jason Moore]

There basically are.

[Mike Wright]

There are. There's got to be escalators with.

[Andy Holloway]

That's a bet.

[Jason Moore]

That's basically you're betting on yourself.

[Andy Holloway]

You sign that document, you bet on your own team.

[Jason Moore]

Suspend them. Suspend them. Contract looks like betting.

[Mike Wright]

I don't know.

[Andy Holloway]

All right, here's a question from you. Not a professional YouTube question. This is a frequent question asked by a lot of people. Every year Brent writes in. Well, first he says mailbag. Yeah. If you could pick any spot to draft from, which spot would it be and why? This is the first question by Brent. Despite listening for six plus years, we do get this question every single year. Because a lot of leagues allow you to pick your draft spot. That's part of the. You know, sometimes you do reverse order of standings, gets 1 through 12, and sometimes you get first pick of spots. So in this draft, in this year, I think what's the latest?

[Mike Wright]

I can get Christian McCaffrey the any.

[Jason Moore]

Pick in the first round. I mean, he's on average in the second.

[Andy Holloway]

Your spot's probably nine or eight.

[Mike Wright]

Then give me a late spot.

[Andy Holloway]

I'm probably more around the 5 or 6 range this year.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, I feel like there are.

[Andy Holloway]

Who's the necessities, Chase?

[Jason Moore]

The super necessities.

[Mike Wright]

Bijon, Saquon, Jefferson.

[Andy Holloway]

CD Is Jefferson a lock for this topper tier? Okay.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, he is to me.

[Andy Holloway]

Gibbs.

[Mike Wright]

Gibbs.

[Andy Holloway]

So that's why I'm like five, six around Gibbs range.

[Jason Moore]

Man. I see. I feel like I am.

[Andy Holloway]

And CD you could put CD in.

[Jason Moore]

I'm almost fine with like 11 or 12 right now. I think I would take 11 because to me. Yeah, you're not getting Bijan, you're not getting Saquon, you're not getting Jamar Chase. So to me, like, top three is worth it. But if I were Gibbs, Gibbs is great. But Gibbs versus Genty Gibbs, you know.

[Andy Holloway]

Well, Chase Brown, Derek Henry. I feel like when we did the mock drafts and you got saddled with the turn, I loved your team.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, I like the guys at the turn. You know, I'm looking at the people that are going around that spot. Derek Henry, Ashton Genti, Nico Collins.

[Mike Wright]

You need to look at the, at the way back in, though, of like. Okay, so right now, ADP is Nico. Then it's a chan. Brian Thomas Jr. Brock Bowers, Jonathan Taylor, A.J. brown, Josh Jacobs. Have I hit a point where you're like, you feel like there's a massive drop after Jacobs, you're talking about in the second round?

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, yeah, I think that's about where it, where it drops. Unless you love McBride and want to go with a tight end.

[Mike Wright]

I think I'd go with the back half of the first if I could pick.

[Andy Holloway]

We have an Instagram question from Liam PPR Keeper question. Brian Thomas Jr. Almond Ross, St. Brown.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, man.

[Andy Holloway]

Brian Thomas is 22.8. Amon Ross 25.8. I am very cozy with Almond Rod.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, this is an easy Amon Rod if you're in a keeper league. This was a mistake that for years and years I think our original league made. Nobody does this anymore, but they treated it like it was a dynasty league. You know, if you're keeping three guys, the age really, really doesn't matter. You're probably not going to keep the same guy that you think you're going to have forever.

[Mike Wright]

Forever.

[Jason Moore]

It just doesn't work that way. So who's better this year? They're both young. And now if amon ra was 29 right now, okay, maybe I'm going. I don't know how he's going to do this year and next year, but if you're still in the prime of your career, it doesn't matter whether you've got more years. I just want to make sure you're. You're okay next year.

[Mike Wright]

Amonra is much safer to make sure you have. I'm saying you have a locked in wide receiver one. But, but it's like Brian Thomas Jr. Could be the wide receiver one, and I don't think Almond Rock can't. So it's just. What, what do you prefer, man?

[Andy Holloway]

I think Almond Rock could probably do it.

[Mike Wright]

I don't think he can be number one.

[Andy Holloway]

Three is not close enough.

[Jason Moore]

He's been three the last two years.

[Mike Wright]

No, because when you finish at number one, generally you're like you're multiple points per game ahead of number three.

[Jason Moore]

That's true.

[Andy Holloway]

Okay, we'll take another quick break. Come back with more of your questions.

Is your RB2 in a full PPR league?

[Mike Wright]

Oh, man.

[Andy Holloway]

With all the Najee news. Najee's back with all the Najee news. Omarion Hampton, certainly an interesting name. I don't I haven't moved Amari into the place I would believe he belongs in. You know, if Najee didn't start healthy.

[Mike Wright]

Right.

[Andy Holloway]

We all have him pretty close. I mean I got him at 19 right now. Jason 22, Mike 17. But again, yeah, we need. This is one of the most camp dependent adjustments possible. Chuba. I have one spot higher right now. Jason has Chuba higher and Mike has him lower. If I knew that Najee was healthy and playing, I'd probably just stick with these rankings and I'd probably go with Chuba. I think he's going to get so much work. I'm optimistic for Carolina's offense to have success.

[Mike Wright]

And yeah, the, the thing about Hampton is you're. You're going to need to make sure that you have a more dependable running back to for a chunk or two of the season because like Chuba, you write in running back 2 he's going to be their main guy for the entirety of the season. Hampton. It might take time. I am still going to bet that over the course of the season Hampton will be the guy.

[Jason Moore]

But it may say if you go high T and this is your fourth round pick and he's your third running back, you've got a stud wise maybe you went Jamar Chase in the first round and you go running back, running.

[Mike Wright]

Back, running back, then I would take Hampton over Chuba.

[Jason Moore]

I don't mind that. I do think that Chuba is a good back and I think he's going to be pretty safe. But when we talk about play style of fantasy football and whether you're really truly trying to win your league feels like a Marian Hampton is the better pick, the better offense, the more run heavy team, the better talent.

[Mike Wright]

It's like the, I mean he was a first round or Hampton was a first round and Nick Chubb was not. But it's like the Nick Chubb year where Carlos Hyde was in Nick Chubb's way and then about halfway through the season or whenever it was, I believe they traded him. They traded Carlos Hideaway and also Nick Chubb is just.

[Jason Moore]

And I could see the exact same thing. Like if you're telling me Dallas halfway through this year isn't knocking on the door to get Najee right when they go, when they look at that team and go that that team probably wants to get rid of Najee and give the ball more to Hampton. I could see something like that happen.

[Andy Holloway]

Hmm. Yeah. You guys enjoy the Jim Harbaugh gif.

[Mike Wright]

Of him behind peeking through the, peeking through the curtains. I don't even know what it was.

[Jason Moore]

I didn't see it.

[Andy Holloway]

Are you kidding me? Oh, dude, look at it right now. You can find it anywhere.

[Mike Wright]

The lack of memes for what that moment was is disappointing.

[Andy Holloway]

It is just spectacular.

[Mike Wright]

Have we memed? It's social media, man.

[Jason Moore]

Have we memed this Falcon? What have you. Oh, my God.

[Mike Wright]

You're fired again. You're fired. You pay attention to the show. The Chargers put up a video and then at the end, it like, zooms in. It's Harbaugh, like, peeking through it.

[Andy Holloway]

Was. It was you curtains or something? This slow mo video, like John Lovich.

[Jason Moore]

Oh, my gosh. Are you kidding me?

[Mike Wright]

It's awesome.

[Jason Moore]

It's unbelievable.

[Andy Holloway]

He is such a football guy.

[Mike Wright]

And I have not seen that thing memed the way it deserves it, especially from our own social media account that.

[Jason Moore]

Thing and go to work.

[Andy Holloway]

He's fixed. He's just.

[Jason Moore]

That is an inappropriate look he's giving.

[Andy Holloway]

Giving Herbert.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, yeah. Sometimes I honestly show up Harbaugh.

[Andy Holloway]

I honestly think Jim Harbaugh wins by sheer force of whale sometimes. Really like just loving the game and thinking about the game.

[Mike Wright]

You saw his podium attire, right?

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. I mean, he had cleats on to a degree. His passion for football is. It's just, It's. It's summed up in that meme, I think. Make sure you post it and make sure you meet.

[Mike Wright]

Harbaugh would trade his family for a Super bowl win. Yeah, I think he would.

[Andy Holloway]

He just.

[Jason Moore]

I think he'd put his family in the game and forced him to win.

[Andy Holloway]

A Super bowl, but he just. It comes from love. This is not like. Like Bill Belichick would also have sacrificed his family for a Super bowl win, but with a scowl on his face.

[Jason Moore]

Jim Harbaugh, he's so happy.

[Andy Holloway]

He would convince himself that it's a good thing to go down for this win. He's just such a hat. He's a great coach and sometimes I just. I'm just shocked. But I, you know, it wore out its welcome in San Francisco at one point in time, too, so. All right, this is a fun question from the website Caden writes in from Calhoun, Louisiana. Hey, ballers. I've recently gotten my wife into fantasy football, and on draft day, she also uses the udk and she takes advantage of the vast knowledge it provides. How do I navigate draft day when she is looking at the same cheat sheets I'm looking at? He left a note in the details, which oftentimes people put their league format in the details field. This one says, we're both very competitive.

[Mike Wright]

Good note. Thank you.

[Andy Holloway]

So, you know, our. I would say this to start and you guys throw in what you think. The UDK is not like a set of like 15 steps to win your draft. It's not an order of operations. So it's really a robust tool in which you build your own game plan based on the resources they're in. So, yes, you're going to have some, you're both going to have some players you're probably targeting that are similar. If you buy into some of our.

[Mike Wright]

Logic and you listen to the show.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

Unless you got your wife into the fantasy footballers, then may God have mercy on your soul. Right.

[Jason Moore]

That's going to be. That's going to be real, real tough. Yeah. I mean, there's a lot of different resources in the udk and some are better than others. We say that in the UDK, like we have a top 200, you know, really encourage her to use the top 200.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, we don't like it when you use it. You made us make it for it.

[Jason Moore]

Because it's easy, but it's not as good as the separate tiered based positional rankings because then it's about roster construction and grabbing the right guys from the right tiers as opposed to just this guy's 10 spots ahead of that guy in a shuffled together list. So, you know, it's use your user brain.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. And then the win will be even sweeter.

[Jason Moore]

That is true. The winds are sweeter when you're playing with good competition.

[Andy Holloway]

All right, Instagram question. When is the best week to set the trade deadline in a dynasty league? Red Merc 92 writes in with this question. We have a dynasty league, we have our keeper league, and we have trade deadlines that have been different between them.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah. I think in a Dynasty league, I want to say ours is week 12.

[Andy Holloway]

You guys, I think, convinced me to back it up a week or two. Yeah, I, I get it.

[Jason Moore]

I want to say we were 11.

[Andy Holloway]

For a while and then we were 12. Yeah. Somewhere around. Normally about a week later than the NFL. Than the NFL or the default in like ESPN and Sleeper and whatever you're playing is, I think how we've done it. Tyler writes in from X and says, bucky Irving or T. Higgins going forward in a Dynasty league, Buck Irving, we know, just 22 years old, entering a second season. T. Higgins, 26, just signed the contract.

[Jason Moore]

For your $115 million contract extension.

[Andy Holloway]

This one. This one is actually. It's tough for me. I think running backs, shorter Shelf life, then wide receivers. Higgins is locked up and attached to burrow for a number of years, but I think running backs, the harder position to find overall in a dynasty league if you can have somebody that's really locked in. So that's going to come down to your conviction around Bucky Irving. Staying power, I think, and whether you think he'll be a. You know, does he get a second contract? That's tough for running backs, I think.

[Jason Moore]

And what do you believe about T. Higgins is meat. What, his muscles?

[Mike Wright]

No, his muscles. His muscles. We're going.

[Andy Holloway]

Thank you.

[Mike Wright]

I'm going to close my eyes and pretend I'm not here.

[Jason Moore]

I wanted to say his bones, but he's not breaking bones. He's always pulling muscles.

[Mike Wright]

I'm not here.

[Jason Moore]

Will, do you think T. Higgins will be healthy?

[Andy Holloway]

I still don't know what it meant.

[Jason Moore]

What he meant.

[Mike Wright]

His body, I hope he means. Not what I heard. That's what I hope. I'm taking Tig.

[Jason Moore]

What do you. Mike, what do you think?

[Mike Wright]

I will answer this question. No, don't ask me about T. Higgins.

[Jason Moore]

I would take diving deeper.

[Mike Wright]

I would take T. Higgins in a dynasty league because I think Bucky will be one of those players that just. He burns really bright for a couple of years and then we're sad and we just remember the times of Bucky Irving.

[Andy Holloway]

It's. This one comes down to what depth you have at both positions. So I'll. I think I'd. I'd like to keep Bucky.

[Jason Moore]

I'll bring tie with T. H. I mean, the sentence.

[Andy Holloway]

The sentence is just unacceptable.

[Jason Moore]

It's just not. It's just standalone. Not standalone. It's just. Look, I'm trying new things. I'm sick of saying soft tissue. Please, please don't say that one.

[Mike Wright]

Don't combine those two sentences together.

[Jason Moore]

No soft meat. No, no, no. Just. All right, well, I think the answer was T. Higgins.

[Andy Holloway]

It was Bucky for me. But the show is definitely. It's definitely over. Happy Saturday, everybody. Hope you didn't fall off your lawnmower just then, but we'll be back.

[Mike Wright]

Goodbye shows a week soon. Get me out of here.
