Yeah, I think I lean towards Antonio Brown as well. I totally get the argument. But since it was a keeper situation, you probably had really good value on Martavis Bryant, which is why you have him capped on your roster. I don't think you're going to be disappointed when you grab Antonio Brown. Okay. All right, let's jump into another voicemail question here. This is Jeff from Jersey. I got the ultimate draft kid. It's amazing. Great job.

54:04 ↗

Quick question on quarterbacks. I know you guys like to draft quarterbacks late. In my league, it's a 10-team, half-point PPR. That's all we got. Let me answer the question for him.

54:19 ↗

My name is Jeff. Why don't you finish the question and then answer the question? It's a half point PPR, but we get six points per quarterback touchdown. So should I bump up the quarterbacks because of that? That's the usual question we get. And if that's the question, what do you do? No. In fact, I would say you can bump quarterbacks down even further in a 10 team league. You'll have so many quality. I'm talking.

54:46 ↗

really good choice matchups. You'll find Tyrod Taylor on the waivers every single week, and you can play him against a team that is a predictable matchup where Tyrod Taylor is going to have a top three week, and you got him off waivers. That's if you don't land, you know, one of those guys who has the potential like an Andy Dalton or Matthew Stafford super late in the draft that just ends up as a top five quarterback all year. When I'm in a 10 or 8 team, so talking small league, I frequently get the question of,

55:15 ↗

Quarterback tied in. Do I go in early on them because it's a smaller league? It's no for quarterback, but if I'm in an eight or ten team, I play more aggressive with trying to get Gronk. So like the second round, I'm perfectly fine taking Gronk there. All right, Keeper League pickle. That's the name of this question from Dalsey and Melbourne. It sounds disgusting. Delicious. Melbourne, Australia. No, pickles. Bonjour. Oh, what? Yeah. Bonjour. You don't like pickles, though.

55:44 ↗

Well, because no one should. Pickles are amazing. Good pickles are great. Bad pickles are bad. You know, get out of here with that nonsense. No, I mean, you're close. Bad pickles are bad. Great pickles are bad. Oh, we're near the answer. All right. Bonjourno, boys. In a full point PPR, would you keep Jordan Reed, Ty Montgomery, or Jordan Howard? All three will cost a 14th round pick. Howard. Yeah, it's Jordan Howard. Absolutely. Easy. He also says, cheers. You guys are legends.

56:13 ↗

Oh, stop it. You're a legend. Australia, everyone's heard of it. You just gave credit to Australia? Yeah. As a whole. It's a legendary. You're the only country that's a continent. Here's a little story to highlight our intelligence. We are keynoting at the fantasy sports show in Canada.

Turns out Canada is not part of the United States. And because of that, you need a passport.

57:04 ↗

Yeah, we knew it wasn't part of the U.S. That's not the part we didn't know. But if you Google, do you need a passport to go to Canada? Google tells you no. This was the equivalent of typing in an address in the Google navigation search and being driven off a cliff somewhere. We just, six months ago, when we agreed to this, six months ago, we did a cursory Google. That's the level of intelligence that was coming out of this studio.

57:33 ↗

Turns out you do need a passport. We found this out yesterday, and there are only four facilities in the entire United States that can get you one fast enough. And luckily we had one in Tucson, Arizona. So Mike and myself and Brooks had to drive down to Tucson for three-hour drive yesterday. People wanted to know why the show came out early. It's because we had to record it late the night before because we had to do this day trip to Tucson to get a passport. But I'm happy to report. We will be at the Fantasy Sports Show. We did it, America. We did it.
