49ers-Rams Start/Sit + BUY or SELL | Week 1 Fantasy Football Advice (09/09 Fantasy Football Podcast)

0:00This is Fantasy Football today from CBS Sports It's time to dominate your fantasy Lee Now you're some combination of Adam Dave Jamie and he Stuff everyone today's Wednesday not like going on tonight One more day Just chilling playing fantasy football. Oh, it's week one. Let's go Yeah, there you go. It's 2026 took long enough Seasons here on a Wednesday Yeah, hey, you you feeling it you feeling this vibe? Really really excited We need a new team name in our leftovers league. Okay. Oh, I'll name it right now. Yeah work on that

1:01I've been going through a naming a few of my teams I haven't I haven't gotten very far. Yeah, same here. They've been a real right there. All right today We're gonna talk about some roster trends players. We've been picking up Players who are barely roster that you might want to add to your team Especially if you've got an open spot to someone's on IR pup News and notes San Francisco at the Rams game in Australia on Thursday We'll tell you who to start and sit how many 49ers can you trust we have an update on George Kittle and we'll do some buyer cell as well Who is your most rostered player? I'm gonna throw it to the guy that has the spreadsheet that tells him who his most rostered player is and this segment is sponsored by Sam LaPorta It you know, it was it was a it was a tight tight race all the way down to the stretch and redraft I actually ended up with a tie between Sam LaPorta and Kyle Pits But I do have more LaPorta and Dynasty than pits So as I I believe as I've looked at the rosters that it Sam LaPorta is the king this year

2:07Okay, there we go Sam LaPorta I finally got my first share of Sam LaPorta the other day and obviously I thought of you and I will think of you every time his name is mentioned on a broadcast Yeah, yeah, who's your most roster player? What who you get when which player you're gonna think of me when their name is mentioned on a broadcast probably Jalen Waddle I did not get as much Jalen Waddle as I thought I was gonna same thing with Parker Washington I went through my teams first of all I'm in 14 leagues which I'm embarrassed by and only like two of them I got Parker Washington I don't even count how many I had Jalen Waddle and you know who I have a lot of Is Drake May I ended up taking Drake May in a bunch of leagues. So tonight will be fun against Seattle Otherwise, I you know stash Jonah Coleman and a ton of leagues I drafted James Conner and then immediately put him on the IR and a handful of leagues Cortland Sutton's on a bunch of my teams. So that's that's funny Talked up Waddle and it'll suck You know, I think just to revisit tonight's games we previewed it yesterday, but

3:11I mean, this is a thin secondary now for Seattle because Doesn't look like even war is gonna play another one of their starting safeties is out another one of their starting safeties is on the bears One of their on the IR from the I R one of their cornerbacks reek Willan is on the Eagles So they still have some talent there. They still have like probably three very good defensive backs But it's not quite the same so and what else isn't the same the Patriots receiving core is definitely not the same AJ Brown is on this team Romeo dobs is on this team They have taken over as the top two receivers. I expect them to be targeted quite a bit And then you've got guys like Hunter Henry tomorrow Douglas still pitch in they were bigger parts of the offense last year And now this year they're going to be more of role players So it's definitely interesting and I do think it's a much better opportunity for Drake May Then what he had to deal with limping into the Super Bowl last year with a beat-up offensive line Inferior receiving core I think the Patriots win. I think may as a solid game

4:11Wow, oh, I want to share that my bold prediction that I gave on on our HQ slash CBS Sports Network show yesterday I know it's an air on CBS Sports Network, but Same kind of show as Jamie will hop on here Um, excuse me. Just real quick. Would you start Matthew Stafford or Drake May Stafford Stafford Jamie Stafford I jeez I believe especially now that the chief's left tackle looks like it's going to be out I think the Broncos are going to absolutely stomp the chiefs and win by at least 10 points Monday I don't know if it will be I mean first off 10 points is not a stomping um, but also I think it it currently looks like the craziest line of the week to me that the chiefs are still two and a half point favorites Against a team that was better than them last year Probably did more to get better this year and the chiefs don't like have an offensive list

5:13This is I'm expecting like Tampa Bay Super Bowl All right exactly. Yeah. Yes. Okay. Good. Um, all right. Uh, Jamie. Who's your most rostered player My most rostered player is probably a tie in some capacity because I don't know the exact number I did it's on the site of all the drafts I did prior to The slow drafts and the couple of drafts that happened this weekend. So it was probably like 20 of the 28 I did um, I think at that point it was Luther Burton DJ Moore Jonah Coleman Jalen Coker they were all like in the same 678 range of leagues Okay, good. I think we can retire six seven. I was gonna do a six seven thing there, but I think it's pretty much That's why I said eight. Yeah, I appreciate that Uh, Dave and I both have 14 teams and we both are like, oh, we have so many teams. Jamie has that that combined 28 teams. How many for you? I have 28 teams. What? Wow, that's weird crazy 18 redraft 10 dynasty. Okay. The dynasty ones are easier in season, right? I mean

6:18Oh, no, they're not you. I mean, they are for they are for you because all of your teams are tanking There's not as much waiver wire Right, I mean, that's the that's the hardest part of fantasy is is when you have this many leagues is Tuesday night and Wednesday night They can all your waiver claims This might be why your dynasty james are tanking. No, come on. You can't tell me that there's just many players to pick up in dynasty leagues This there are some but not as many. Well, I mean, there's there's more trade Thought there's more, you know You know like he he's does a great job with the one dynasty league that he commissions or one of the two that he commissions I'm in with him Having as an IDP league sort of a lot of movement and on that front more so than the offensive players Okay, well, I can't speak to that if you had a guess You can you call man is that team with me? Yes, sure if you had a guess my most rostered player There's I think it's a tie between two On a Christian McCaffrey and yeah, Devon Titchmouth

7:18Different Devon day Christian McCaffrey and Devon day Adams a lot of the day Adams. I am super old this year drafted a team yesterday with McCaffrey Derek Henry Travis Kelsey and Devon Titchmouth Adams. So Let's go. I try pretty hard to make sure my most rostered player is not a first-round pick Um, that's like the one thing that I would like to not have happened because if I mean if Christian McCaffrey script Christian McCaffrey You're gonna have a very good year like you did last year Um, well, I don't know if you had a good year. It was okay. Yeah But man like you can't if Sam LaPort is bad this year I'm not going to lose all my leaks because of it. Yeah, but if you a first-round pick is wrong Yeah, I agree So I did I did we talked about yesterday that I didn't have any sake one Barclay up purposely drafted Barclay There you go Who have you been picking up lately guys? It's ads and drops First of all go to your league and look for players that are on IR

8:20I mean there's James Connors on IR. He saw him in a few leagues. There's no harm If you have the open IR spot, there's just no harm your guy who? Picheko. Yeah, I mean Getting Picheko gonna lead with me Malik Davis Not bad Chris Bell For talk Chris Bell Chris Brooks and George Alani been the three that I picked up the most yeah Alani is a good one Now, but you gotta get in before the game tonight with Chris Bell He's 25% roster Caleb Douglas is 28% roster these two guys were listed as the star Riding-wide receivers for the Miami Dolphins they are at Las Vegas at San Francisco Kansas City to start the year those are secondary is that might be a little suspect here and Those are you know at least San Francisco and Kansas City could be scoring points on well, maybe greater too Anyway setups not bad here for for this dolphin maybe Yeah, oh who do you uh Who do you prefer between Caleb Douglas and Chris Bell? Bell It's no but yeah

9:21I think Doug I think they said the dolphins listed too many starters on their starting offense They have 12 starters listed so one of those wide receivers Um He's they're pulling out all the stops Well, I'm the league just decided you know they can play with 12. Yeah Okay Um, I've been picking up Devon Velae. He is 6% roster and Jalen Noel is 5% rostered And I think you look at the Saints and the Texans you have basically the same situation the number two receiver Jalen Higgins and Jordan Tyson are out We like the tight ends as kind of late-round picks or week one streamers based on last year John Johnson is a much better matchup than Dalton Schultz Um, but then you got these other receivers that might do something devon Velae had 5 to 8 targets in four straight games to end his season and yeah, I'm pretty much I'm only think considering playing him in deeper leagues But take a shot on him and Jalen Noll is another guy that there's one more to and in the same vein is Darnell Mooney with

10:21Slate and getting cut and Malachi fields might be the number two guy, but I think Mooney's gonna end up playing more and probably getting more targets and opportunities We like the tight end. We obviously like the number one receiver the number one ride receiver may not play his full snap share in week one Against Dallas. So I think Mooney's another guy in that same category and then Freddie In the chat just said some a name that I was gonna mention also done Tavy wicks like McCuy lemon may be good May eventually become that guy that I'm sure the Eagles are hoping for and fantasy managers were drafting But wicks comes to this offense with the familiarity of the system from Green Bay And there's a chance that he may get more targets and opportunities early in the season So there's like a few of these scenarios that you you mentioned Adam, you know The two that you brought up and then wicks and Mooney where the number two receiver could kind of be this You know name that we don't want to really rely on but or veteran that we don't want to rely on but could be somewhat prominent early in the season what's Adonai Mitchell's roster ship

11:22I'm gonna guess this is right in that same exact sense Yeah, that would be one that I would gravitate toward. I was gonna suggest Mason Taylor or Darren Waller But that's if you need a tight end and even if you need a tight end you probably find a better name than that on your way where our Greg Dullsich Age of honor they're out there in a bunch of leagues for sure and Kenyant Seagal eventually overtake Mason Taylor But I love what I've been reading about Adonai Mitchell I remember what Scott Turner said about Mitchell when we talked to him earlier in the offseason Looks like he could be the number two target getter and we know Jeno Smith likes to sling it So I don't mind stashing Adonai Mitchell and just seeing what happens Adonai Mitchell is 15% roster now is wrong about that way off. Yeah Sundays are obviously important fun days in the fantasy community And we will have a live stream before you on youtube from 11 a.m. Eastern until 1 p.m. Eastern when there are games in Europe that start at 9 30 a.m We'll have I think we go 8 30 to 9 30 and then noon to 1 that could be to be determined But we'll have you know early content for you there

12:23But two hours of starter sit every Sunday morning additionally just tune into CBS sports HQ Because Dave Jamie and Heath will be there on Sundays And you should be tuning into it anyway because it's the best sports coverage It's you know real sport the kind that we grew up on that we used to love that made us into huge sports fans That's what CBS sports HQ does Watch it on the CBS sports app Dave has a fun show on Wednesdays I'm gonna let you tell us about it Dave It's it's a show that I'm doing with Scott Turner.

He's I just want to celebrate something because I've been waiting all summer for this moment And it's finally here Adam would you like to guess who the high guy on Kyle Pitz is this week?

14:35It's Jamie now. It's not it's Dave. How about it's Dave. It's gotta be me It's how much I am I then you guys. Oh, it's just a spot higher than me. I think too higher than Jamie You guys suck. I can't believe you don't even like Kyle Pitz. I don't even know who you guys are anymore All right, we're gonna take a break and we're gonna get by the way the dolphins did lift the 12th starter Could they have they've received a full back tie to end in 12 versus 11 Could they beat the Rams of 12 on 11? Yeah, I know I hope I don't think they could even with 12 I think they're 12 12 on both sides often no no 12 for the dolphins 11 for the Rams Yeah, I understand but they both get they get 12 on both sides. It's all for all 24 on 22 All right, we'll take a break and try to figure that out during the commercial break.

Trevian Henderson is out Tonight against Seattle Ramon Dre Stevenson or

17:39Kyron Williams Kyron bus close Rwandari for me I believe I have Kyron two spots higher already mentioned all of the Safety and secondary concerns for the Seahawks tonight George Kittle is likely going to play but he's going to be I don't know They say they're going to monitor his snaps no idea what that means let me just say that From my experience a pregame report about a player being on a snap count You know from any of the major Reporters out there is one of the most one of the least reliable Reports yeah, do you remember his first game back last year? No He played 80% of the snaps and was just a blocker He didn't throw him the wall. Yeah He probably ran the routes though. I think he had two targets And didn't didn't have a catch just was almost entirely a blocker. What was the game script like Um, the Niners have a big lead and he didn't have to run routes. I don't know

18:42I don't think so I think we were like what the hell happened here with George Kittle, but might have been Mac Jones to McCorkle I still have top 10 I If he's playing I'd figure the 49ers are gonna have to throw a good amount I'd want to lean on him to some degree. I'm not gonna have high expectations But still up there for me Okay, so would any you know what we're gonna get to that in a minute That's like our next topic is is breaking down that game the buck signed Baker may feel to a three year 165 million dollar extension heath. What is the dynasty impact? Um, this gives him a little bit more security probably moves him up a spot or two in the rankings I feel bad for everybody that was super excited about a motivated Baker may field because now he got a contract So he's obviously not going to be motivated anymore Yeah, Patrick Mahomes is likely to start this week, but Kansas City left tackle Josh Simmons is unlikely to play as we mentioned earlier Aaron Donald is out this week It according to ESPN's Dan Graziano it sounds like Malik neighbors will play this week

19:47If you have a guy Wednesday or Thursday and you're you know deciding between Devonte Adams Mike Evans or it's tripling and Malik neighbors Jamie. What do you do? I would play Adams over neighbors. I think anyway um Who's the other one said the 49ers guys um Evans would probably if neighbors does not practice today then I would play Evans if Or tomorrow I guess it's there tomorrow um I would probably wait out to see stripling wait out neighbors instead of playing stripling And just probably go to the way we're wearing fights in my if I could okay I just kind of assume when they cut dairy estate and the neighbors was going to play you would think right Uh Caleb duck. Oh, I mentioned Chris Bell Caleb Douglas listed as starters from Miami But I guess they have 12 starters and Romo Dune's day is day to day. We definitely have to keep an eye on that one

20:51All right, let's take a look at Thursday night football Throw something I did Well, that's good I'm not at liberty to say San Francisco's at the Rams Here's a stat of the game that will not come to fruition unfortunately This was from CBS Sports Research If all the stars align and Aaron Donald which he's not playing Nick Boza George Kettle all play This game would have featured the most combined first team all pro selections playing in a game Since the 1999 wild card playoff game between the Cowboys and Vikings This would have been that star studded but unfortunately it's just a little bit less Star studded Okay, so look I mean these are two contenders here but He's how much better do you feel about starting Rams than 49ers a lot a lot a lot better I am I'm actually skeptical at the 49ers defense is going to be as good as it has in the past

21:54And I think the Rams defense even without Aaron Donald is the best in the league So I I've got Stafford overperty. I still have Christian McAfry over Kyron I would start to Rams wide receivers over any 49ers wide receiver And I don't want to start a tight end in this game Yeah, tight end will get into Kettle in a little bit here. I mean Adams is a is a no brainer I mean, it seems seems like the 49ers secondary at least according to sharp football and pff not very good So yeah, let's you're starting Adams. Let's keep this game simple right and and like Kyron uh, where do you guys have Kyron Jamie? Like around 16 17 in that range Same Thank you back Beach 20th, but he's an RB 2 Okay, basically where he was drafted We're not gonna start cool. You wouldn't start Korra him over Like jadari and price or anything with no no Okay, I do love the matchup for for the Rams running backs

22:57But we just don't know so I think it's a little Nuts to start core him so we know more Yeah, I mean, let's so for the 49ers their secondary might be a concern But they might be good up front because well Nick Boas of being back is gonna help but also That helps your past rush like Fred Warner played five games Or he'd be no question. They have They have green law back right so they could be better um, they should be better Rams, you know start your Rams other than just lose a key defensive lineman though who they lose Uh, I figured his name that they put on the new no stackle. Yeah. Oh, yeah, I didn't tore his meniscus That's a bummer. I'm sorry. I didn't see that all right. So then let's talk about Alfred Collins. Sorry How let's talk about the quarterbacks here Stafford overperity Stafford or Stafford or well definitely over my homes. Oh, yeah, let's go. I've got Stafford third. Oh, okay

23:59Let's just go right to the jugular here. I know Boas is back and that helps the past rush But I've got questions about much of the rest of this 49ers defense So how about party then where do you have party Dave? I? I've got pretty 13th and that feels low But there are a lot of quarterbacks that I like this week. There are a lot of quarterbacks that we drafted Um, I'd start golf ahead of him. I think just about everybody else that was ahead of him in ADP Other than Stafford because I think Stafford was behind him. I They're easy starts to me over party, but I don't I don't mind party Bro, Dave you have Jackson dart 22nd. Yeah Whoa Because I was gonna say heathen jamey would start Jackson dart against the cowboys overbrought party Dave would start Um, maybe some college quarterbacks over Jackson dart this archmanning baby So do you have the homes ahead of Jackson dart? I know back to back Yeah, okay. Yeah, 22 and 23

25:01Um, party or Kyler Murray Kyler Kyler Party Dave is the high guy on party at 13th and heath and jamey have pretty 17th Tyler Schuck over party for Jamie and heath not for Dave You gave your quarterback rankings are definitely the outlier this week I love it. Yeah. What's it? What's it like heath? It's a second Hayme All right start McCaffrey Evans and Stribling heath. What are your thoughts there? I don't really want Yeah, I don't really want to start them. I rank them Evans Debo Stribling Evans is a wide a number three wide receiver for me, but I I would like to have three receivers better than him Yeah, it's weird. We agree here when you preview a game And you like oh how did the how did the Rams do against wide receivers last year?

26:03Well actually how did the chiefs do against wide receivers last year because the Rams Have both starting cornerbacks from the chiefs But those corners are going to have a much more pleasant time playing Behind this pass rush. Yep, then they did the chiefs last year So they're gonna have to defend for about two and a half seconds And they were good last year they were 10th by the chiefs were 10th best obviously It's not all about the two cornerbacks, but they were 10th best and they held some very very good wide receivers and check So I have Evans in a lot of leagues, but definitely trying to get away from them. Let me give you guys some flex options over Mike Evans how about some running backs here would you start? Would you start marshal Lloyd? Oh, I'm so on the fence of this one. Marshal Lloyd at Minnesota or Evans Evans a peeper I Got to find Lloyd now to the report yesterday for sure I would go Lloyd I'm looking to see what the auto ops coordinator said out of no

27:05Oh Expect a committee for the Packers back to the week one. I have them back to back Evans one spot out of Yeah, I don't know what that means like I saw what they did in the preseason And it sure as hell wasn't a committee except for Chris books playing on third down And these coaches talk about this stuff all the time They're always gonna say yeah, we want to get all our guys involved basically. I'm not always well I think for the first game against Minnesota for a player that has one career game on his resume You're probably not going to see a huge snap share for him So or huge amount of touches for him so especially if Surprisingly enough they're underdog so if they are chasing points I think we see a little bit more of Chris Brooks if not a lot more of Chris Brooks So I would just be cautious with Lloyd and I wouldn't panic if he has a bad game They also did bring in another running back for a workout yesterday. So Probably not the best sign for Josh Jacobs in terms of what the Packers are thinking and probably not the best sign for the three guys on the roster My guess would be is mostly an indication of Caleb Johnson So they brought in film off others for workouts just to see what they have there another big physical running back

28:08Yeah, I'm someone said in the chat probably benching Lloyd week one and so am I but I'm also probably benching Evans week one How about Tony Pollard against the jets or Mike Evans Pollard Yeah, I'd be full How many co Dave said Evans how many cold swide receivers would you start over Evans just one Downs uh, I don't think I have any mean either give you a stat the Ravens gave up the most big pass plays in football last year And the most pass plays of 20 or more air yards and that's who the Colts play in week one All right, I got a better stat than that what he got and then this could maybe help you make the decision on somebody like Downs And I would like Downs better if Keenan Allen didn't sign with the Colts obviously Colts took on Jesse Mentor's Chargers defense last year They let him up for 38 points. They absolutely dominated Uh, the type of defense that Jesse Mentor plays And so I do think he he's got personnel this time around that matches up better with the Colts

29:10But I'm I'm not sure it's gonna be any more successful If he sticks with lots of zone coverage doesn't blitz that much Do we know if Matt Buky is gonna play for Baltimore? I guess we'll start to find out I mentioned today, but I don't think so either And I think that helps the Colts too I know it sounds like I'm talking myself into Josh Downs over Mike Evans I'm not there yet, but I do I do kind of like Downs to especially in PPR to get seven targets come through with a solid game Okay, and then let's talk about Kittle here because I I don't know I mean it's week one no one's on a buy not that many guys are injured. So I don't personally as a host feel a ton of I wouldn't say need I don't think it's helpful if I'm like well, would you start Debo Samuel or this other guy that no one's starting Because I'm just guessing you know what I'm gonna look at Debo Samuel start percentage right now And it's probably not worth discussing it is 10% And Stribbling, yeah, Stribbling. It's like we kind of want to see it first He is at 7% started, but I've been getting something John Stribbling

30:13Questions so I don't know is he is he in the top 30 for you guys this week? No, not in top 48 not that bad 48. All right. There are people I think yesterday He was drafted in round six of our draft He was several several drafts where he was drafted in round eight So I know there are people like considering starting him in week one you also have you know as It's evolving clearly, you know as they're speaking in another continent Mike Evans saying that his resting or you know not practicing was Another planned situation or you know, they're just being cautious with it So I think when you're drafting Stribbling or we're drafting Stribbling you were doing it with a hedge on Evans missing time or maybe missing time early in the season You know some of the bigger leagues that had somebody asked me us to hey same same same round heath I'm in a huge You know Fantasy league is Stribbling in round six worth it. I said listen if he hits you're gonna hit big right because we we saw He looks like in the preseason and you're the easiest bet to make on injuries is probably 49ers

31:18So if Evans misses any time if he was out for this week I think we'd be very excited about Stribbling even with the tough matchup So just knowing that there's two significant veterans at its same position three significant veteran pass catchers there I just don't think you want to Buy in the Stribbling as a starter we know receivers usually come off the or you know in drafts came off the board A lot sooner than the running backs when you get to this range So I think you know struggling probably should have been like around seven pick at the highest maybe you're on eight So around six has just been aggressive with it. I would just take a cautious approach and sit in this week Okay, let's start just you know I named your brother. I'd rather start the va la then dissoncerably I'd rather start at an I met you Wow Would you rather start Caleb Douglas and Chris Bell then dissoncerably? Oh, I think that might be going too far. Okay So how about kiddo kiddo's a tough call. We don't know what the snap share will be last year He did have a huge game against the Rams scored 23.4 fantasy that fantasy points But the Rams got really good against tight ends late last year including Tremick bride twice Kyle Pitz was terrible

32:23Kosan Loveland had 56 yards on 10 targets. I don't know if any of that will carry over um So kiddo is 13th for Jamie 10th for Dave and 16th for Heath so it's an average of 13th And are there any streamers? I'm guessing heath the answer is gonna be yes for you. He's the up 16th with streamers Would you start over George Kittle? Only one there's only like we've got 15 tied ends that have a high enough roster percentage not call them streamers Um, the one is the guy that I talked about that I don't don't think should be this available But Dalton Schultz is on rostered in about half of leagues and I would start him over Kittle this week and full PPR Okay, do you want Johnson for sure? Yes, but he's not he's too rostered right he ain't talking about none I get it But there were people that drafted Kittle in the middle of late rounds and then probably took a second tie at end And so I think that's the conversation and and I'm looking at Kittle right now in my rankings And I've got a Myer than Jawan and I don't know if I agree with it I think Jawan does make sense as someone that you could start ahead of Kittle this week because of all the uncertainty around him

33:23But I know what the track record is for tight ends against this Rams defense I know the Rams defense improve their cornerbacks I think that does open the door for whoever is that tie down for them to put up some solid numbers and I just I know what George Kittle is capable of doing and if I've got him on my team. I want to use him if he's gonna play Yeah, if you want to if you want to start Jawan Johnson the Lions last year played five games without There two starting safeties who are on IR right now and in those five games they give up 65 or more yards to Cade Aughton Colby Parkinson and Colson Loveland and I think those three combined for two touchdowns So they did struggle against tight ends without their two starting safeties And I think it's reasonable to expect that to happen again So Kittle how about Kittle how about guys like Dalton concade and Jake Ferguson over against Kittle Not this week the matchups aren't great for either one I might try it with concade that's another tight end that I've got ranked behind Kittle as of right now

34:25Definitely not Jake Ferguson. I've got it concade Kittle Ferguson 15 16 17 so okay flip a coin Start the Rams dst sit the 49ers dst and that is it for Thursday night football Just do people listening sing along with us you think I Think they maybe do that. Oh We had we had some Some start sits in the chat from that game. Okay, and you know what like honestly think I skipped Stafford because Dave said he had him third But Jamie has him eighth and he has him 10th so he's definitely a start But Stafford yeah, so I'm gonna rewind the no no no no no no no And we're not done yet Kittle are likely that's gonna be likely right I don't know I think likely might be oh yeah likely that's what you said. Yeah Kittle are craft Tucker craft Kittle or Andrews

35:26Andrews Andrews for me I'll go Kittle give me a flex and half ppr jalen waddle march on Lloyd Mike Evans Parker Washington Oh, who is it between the Waddle Waddle Washington? I think it'd be Waddle but It's close man. I love them both probably Waddle Adams or burden burden one billion percent if oh dunes aes out and burden either way if what dunes aes it I got burden one spot higher I'll take Adams Evans or godwin see that's yeah we're I think we're going godwin godwin Chris Godwin And can we discuss Terrence Ferguson? roster they're good I was not started it. They'll start in the second there we go Okay, and that's it for there's a football Let's do some buyer sell After this break all right, we'll be right back with buyer sell a Ramondra Stevenson buyer sell Ajikobe Lane buyer sell Jonah Coleman Christian McCaffrey Vicar Ryan and more

36:29Did you guys watch any of the what they're calling the second best tennis match of the year No, I missed it. Oh my gosh. I mean, I didn't see it But it ended at 333 in the morning in New York and it was like I mean for any it was like it was basically one of the best tennis matches I don't know in US open I don't know I don't know but it was incredible and Wait, it was in the United States it was yeah started until 330 they started at 1130 or something like that And they ended at 333 in the morning. It seems like bad marketing. Yeah, I know I read a five set thriller between like the best player in the world and an American who beat him and Really cool stuff. I wish I had even known about I had no idea Could have learned a few things. Yeah, I think so. I actually know. Would they're that good? There's really not much you could learn like we get a lot of talking about me because you know commentary wise for tennis You think any of them any either the competitors were burping throughout the match

37:32What's the like let's say you were at you know the NBA the Super Bowl whatever What's the latest you think you would stay there? Obviously the Super Bowl can't could go on and on and on I guess which state there's all 330. What's the latest you would stay at the Super Bowl? You really have a 330 or would you go home? You really asking that question You're assuming that like one of the teams we love is playing in the game. You have to Yeah, you're gonna put it in context like this isn't the finals. So it's just it'd be like a regular season football game So no it'd be like a playoff game Adam the hurricanes were in the national championship How long you staying at the stadium? Yeah forever Exactly there you go This this would have been like the the divisional round of the NFL playoffs I mean you would have stayed obviously if it was the hurricanes SMU and there was a lightning delay right until it was over Not till 330 in the morning For a regular season game. So you're at the game. It's a nine o'clock start There's a lightning delay it doesn't kick off until 11 o'clock and you're staying until kickoff you wouldn't stay till the end

38:36230 in the morning in that case if I had worked the next day no if I didn't I Shed the way that that game unfolded you would have left The Florida State game yes You're lying whatever you're about to say is alive you say you leave the pants if I had a show uh Yeah, you know, I probably you're right. I probably stay of course you'd stay easier would have never showed up Uh, it's with the rain with the rain. Oh, no, you're got the wrong guy. I I'll brave the elements I mean if I see a spider I won't brave that but the elements I'll brave by or sell Ramandre Stevenson will be the Patriots starter. I'm gonna change starter to like Lead back all year Ramandre Stevenson will be the Patriots lead back all year Bye So oh, what do you think he's there's lots of things that could happen. I think it's below 50% be a weaker to worse travion from Matt Davis buyer sell Jacobi Lane and Emmett Johnson will be league winners so

39:39For sure sell in the case of Lane And the only way Emmett Johnson's going to be is if Kenneth Walker wins powerball all right fine. So but buyer sell if Ken Walker buys the wins powerball Emmett Johnson will be a league winner bye Yeah Okay from Luis buyer sell Chuba Hubbard maintains the lead role over Jonathan Brooks so Okay, from yogi Danza buyer sell Jonah Jonah Coleman takes over the Denver Denver backfield by week four So I think you got to sell it by week 14 I Can buy that Maybe or maybe and another one from yogi buyer sell Dan is the type of person who decides they don't want something Dan is the type of person who decides they don't want something they already picked They just throw it on whatever aisle shelf they're on

40:40No, no, I sell that yeah me too. I sell that Dan's the kind of person who would rant about that kind of person right yeah Steve Davis says buyer sell the backup to Christian McCaffrey fantasy fantasy managers want is currently not on San Francisco's roster So divos so So The majority of listeners however slim will have no idea what I'm referencing when I ask vicar Ryan and that makes me sad Bye, bye But that's a good way to tell us that you've been listening for a long time What am I saying before me? I was before you Uh Mentioning Adam's wallet is a good way To yeah, remember do you remember the uh the person who would always ask off that question The vicar Ryan yeah, no, no, no street can't Oh He's up to good call where'd he go He was like god, he's probably with a little double do you

41:44Does he know that story Which story a little dab will do you Do you know that story? No Do you know the slogan a little dab will do you yeah, okay, go ahead then tell the story This is you Jamie oh, uh, so somebody wrote in it was a team name I think it's just an email and then they signed it like they're yeah So it was a adab Ado similar right Whatever yeah, and you just read it. What's a leo adab aduya? I thought it was from a guy named a leo dab will do yeah like I'd never heard a little dab will do It's so funny I was thinking about the other day that worst call that Dave has ever made was cracklin oat brand being a good My far. Yeah, it's so bad. I've made some bad calls And I think you're right. I do I've I've strayed from that take. Oh, wow so bad

42:49I had it I had it some point last year and it just tasted different to me and I thought who talked out Honestly, what did you say it looks like kitty litter? I think once you said that it was over for me like so back no brand so now I don't have a favorite cereal I'm a free agent on the cereal market When you grow up eating all that sugary cereal and then you come back to it years later after not having eaten it For a while. It's it's not as good as as you're crazy. Trulos are still the best I mean, I guess I really like life cereal still But I don't know it's it's like it's too sweet now for me. I had you pegged for a reason brand I did like oh believe me like me some razor brand yeah This one is from gamer Byersel Jake Ferguson will finish the season ahead of mark Andrews So I'm selling it non-PPR It's full PPR where I might see a pathway, but it's gonna be close

43:50Jake Ferguson is very rostered and I just want to give this down I'm not saying it'll play out this way But he played 13 games with CD-LAM and he averaged 8.7 fantasy points per game He did have six or more targets in seven of those 13 games But he just kind of struggled with the targets But he's kind of like Kyle Pitts only worse He averaged 18.6 per game without lamb And 8.7 per game with lamb So based on last year Jake Ferguson probably shouldn't be rostered as much But you know things could play out differently Also would say if lamb or pickens gets injured Jake Ferguson is is basically an amazing handcuff probably you know He be honest and remember is it flanoi That's a good question flanoi could factor in but I mean Like if you were on the waiver wire right now I probably wouldn't pick him up even though I did in one lead where I had an empty rosh spot But if lamb or pickens got hurt he'd be one of my top priorities I guess I think you're gonna see like Ferguson Brenton strange I'm trying to think of another tight end that's kind of in similar vein like where

44:50There's a crowded receiving core or you just know what the packing order is But they'll catch enough touchdowns where they'll sort of flirt with top 12 Relevance on a week to week basis You know, so like Ferguson last year at eight touchdowns And over a hundred targets and just was such a non factor like you said when everybody was healthy. Yeah, so it's like you'll never like Be thrilled to start that player But the week that they score or the weeks that they score You'll be like okay, this is why I justify having them on my team Okay, if you more buyer sells here from Lloyd Cobbler If Dalton concaiid plays his highest snap percentage of his career this year he's a top five tight end If you said top 10 I would have bought it. Yeah, yeah, I was gonna go top eight. There you go. Yep top eight sounds good to me too From Phoenician by or so Drake London is not a top 12 wide receiver with two with tongue of my lowest starting So so You know, I've got

45:51London I think like tenth in my rankings and I feel like that's a little too high I'm gonna buy it. I'm gonna buy it with two is the quarterback I'm gonna say he's not a top 12 receiver But we don't expect that to last too long like seems like no on panics to be the guy Yes, Steve says buy or sell fantasy players and experts not considering Washington's suspect offensive line nearly enough Sorry that we are not we are not considering Washington's suspect offensive line nearly enough when it comes to drafting jane dandell's terror maquoran bill and white If anything is like I think that fantasy managers from the experience I've had in drafts have considered it a lot In my final ffpc draft I got jane daniels at the end of round 10 He's been going in round eight or seven and a lot of our drafts Um bills not a top 28 running back terri mccloreans fallen outside of the top 24 wide receivers. I think people have adjusted Yeah, our ADP the the latest one

46:55I don't know about drafts last night, but daniels fell behind dac press got and jalen hurts I just want to remind everyone two years ago The army tonsil was on the Texans and jane daniels You know, it was great rookie season and maquoran had the best season of his career Now I've been pretty scared about but I also think the digsigning factors in with the maquoran drop I've been working. Yeah, go ahead. No, sorry. Go ahead I've been more afraid of jacquore crosky merit than daniels because i you know daniels is so athletic and He'll be able to run away from the pressure. It's not gonna be good for him But they you know they out they lost their best lineman and then they move the guard out to tackle So now they've weakened two positions And they just may not be as good So I feel like the game script won't be as good for bill. It's the end. Yeah I'm totally with you on bill because he's in that range of runny backs We're always being drafted that range of runny backs like with the stealers guys You could see those more upside for them Especially if one guy separates from the other Jordan Mason's a very similar profile easy offense three easy to buy into the Vikings offense more

47:57So then the commanders, you know Dobbins if you want to talk about shared backfields like broncos offensive lines clearly better and Dobbins was was better last you know, so you just kind of look at that whole group and whichever running back you like the best But I think that was the appropriate range from To me the easiest thing with daniels is like the upside is Amazing and the downside is is I pivot to tyler shuck or chyler Murray or somebody that's available And it's easy to find replacement value there not the same replacement value, but replacement value So that's just an easy swing for the fence position And so like heath was saying like the the more he fell the better it was because You're just still stack stacking other great players around him and now you're getting this What could be top three quarterback? You know, so it was just uh easy This will draft him the other guy is yes, you could make stronger cases to move away from Okay, and few more here buy yourself from Jay I should start remandre stevenson over james and williams in ppr

49:00I went this week, but it's close. I would this week And Craig bye for heath sell for jamey. What was it for you Dave? I'll take jama For cragg cinnamon raisin toast ham tomato mozzarella mayo garlic powder and oregano melted Are you cragg Adam? This is this sounds really good. I would eat this I know you would buy it Literally, I would eat it. I wouldn't buy it There you go I'd buy it for you and then you'd like it and then you'd start buying oh this should be your next one What was the other bet you were trying to make heath? I? I don't even remember now Okay, wait, I don't think we've really hammered home. Oh no, it's 100% set you agreed to it. We're not going back No, no, no, I I agree to the to the terms of what the consequences I forget what are we doing like if a quarterback gets hurt

50:01Or a player or nothing for quarterback getting hurt There are two we're gonna we're gonna try to have a true winner Okay, so They need to be better in both total fantasy points and points per game Uh-huh If they're there you got to pick one if there's a split in those two Then the tiebreaker is fantasy playoffs points Ha ha ha ha Because that's what matters no no, I don't agree to that at all You already did we're a month into this and we still don't really agree to that you Want to get rid of it you did I'll go back and find the tape because since you never remember the things that you say yeah It's true. It's true. Why can't you just settle on points per game and keep going can we can we do only games where they play 50% or more of the snack? No, no come on. No, it's a supply Dave. This is why no that's that's a completely reasonable request because the next thing is can we do games where like if they're off and so So I just wait so Adam if if Devon Desmond had

51:02For for 60 and touchdown 49% of the snaps you're not gonna count it. I Think you have the option to count it All right Brian says buy or sell pizza with pepperoni sausage jalapenos and Bye, bye, you know, bye Disgusting I wanted to look at the most added and most viewed players I don't really think it makes sense right now, but there's one other guy Hey, if you want a starting running back who's 63% rostered I call him starting because he's listed as number one on the dev chart that is Tyler Alger Just want to throw that out there Tyler Alger is 63% rostered right now Only only nine and a half point under dogs with an implied total weight in this week Should be should be a great time for the early down the running back. Yeah, but yeah, no, I think he should be rostered. Yeah I hate those guy you know, this was originally I think I said this about Tevin Coleman when he was splitting with Devon Des Freeman

52:04I can't stand players that are too good to drop but not good enough to start They are like the worst thing to have in fantasy and that might be Tyler Alger Go back to the guys I just listed before like they're all the same Which guys jacory krasky marit jk thomas like they they need touchdowns to be good Yeah, but they'll they're better. They're at least they're better than those those guys, but that's the profile. Yeah It could be All right, thank you guys good luck tonight get those lineup set Those 14 and 20 right lineup set We will talk to you tomorrow with starter sit for the aFC home game is on fantasy football today Enjoy football everybody will be recapping a game next time we speak see you later Paramount podcasts Sunday the NFL on CBS is back with an electrifying week one double header
