Then what's taking place across the table from me today. We have a new member of the fantasy footballers. I have never seen this man before. No, me neither.

I still have the same terrible voice, though. Now, I believe you. Sounds like you. You know his name. It doesn't look like you. And it's called. He's cool Andy. Yes. Yes. So we were joking. Now he looks. So if you're not watching on YouTube, first of all, fix your life. Watch on YouTube.com slash the fantasy footballers. At least subscribe. Sure. Pad the numbers. Yeah. But the thing is, is Mike usually has this large beard. Yep.

And now he doesn't. Yeah. That's true yesterday. No fanfare. This just happened. I have the largest beard here. You do. Congratulations. Stealing your brand, bro. But yeah, I mean, the decision yesterday. Well, I mean, I thought about it on, huh? But it was like, I'm doing it. So I cut the beard off. It is very, it's very flush to the face. My chin looks different than I remember.

It's been a little while. My face is a little rounder than I remember. And the, the, so this was a complete surprise to my entire family. Oh my gosh. When I got home, they were all that the kids had tumbling. So I gave it the old snippety snip. Came, came down the stairs. The wife didn't know. No, she had no idea. Oh, my gosh. And the, the youngest of my family immediately burst into tears.

and like a legit real like real real sad crying he's never seen me without a giant beard in his entire life and he said to my wife he said it's like daddy died and now i have to live with a new dad oh my goodness and he proceeded to weep for about 15 to 20 minutes because he was so terrified daddy died and now i have to live with a new dad

So it went really well. Wow. Is he making progress this morning with it? Yeah. We worked it out. It's not like you're clean shaving. That would have just been. We worked it. Oh, goodness. That would have been out of the house. Yes. I did the clean shaving one time and I got the same reaction from the kids. It was unacceptable. There was tears. People have begged me holding on my, you know, shirt. Do not do that again. Yeah. Last Halloween, when I went as Jeff Fisher and had to shave down to a mustache and then proceeded to shave that,

My wife said I looked like a human thumb and that I am no longer allowed to ever shave my face again. A human thumb. Yeah, like if you drew eyes and a nose and a mouth on the front of your thumb, then you look at it. And when your wife says it, when your wife says it, you know it's true. Right. Did she look like a thumb? Yes, because she hates me. You have the biggest beard in the studio.

Well, it's a whole new mic. He's wearing a leather jacket. He's clearly the cool version of me. It's the middle of my life. I'm freaking out, man. Yeah, man. My wife's first reaction was, is he going through a midlife crisis? My wife asked me that actually. Did you or did you not buy a Mazda Miata last night? I already had one, bro. All right. Well, welcome in. We've got a Wednesday segment for you. Mazda Miata. A Mazda miata.

Buy or sell, presented by pristine auction. Oh, it's a whole new day here in the office. Yes. All right. Buy or sell presented by pristine auction, week five, we've got an NFC East edition of Buyers' Sell. Let's start with this one. Making his debut on the 2019 season, Golden Tate, Buy Yourself, 50 receiving yards against Minnesota. I'm going to sell.

because I think he's going to operate close to the line of scrimmage and be worked in, and this is a bad matchup. This is a really good line, right? Because you expect him to get enough work. But I think that the targets he's going to receive are going to be very low value targets. So I'm going to say, I'm going to take the under. It's going to be very interesting because Sterling Shepard has been playing very well for this team, but he's been playing very well.

getting yards out of the slot and that's where golden tait really thrives so are we going to see a situation where they're just arguing on the field like hey hey sterling that's where i'm supposed to be and they just keep swapping places like games of a musical chairs i'll buy it and i'll buy it on the fact that golden tate was signed this past off season to a four year 37 million dollar deal for a reason he gets to make his debut

You want to protect Daniel Jones. You don't have Sequin Barclay. I think we'll see more than 50 yards from Golden Tate. 50 is not a huge number. No. But I'm, man. You're a sell? I just don't know who's going where. Okay. So I will sell for that. All right. Chris Thompson, 50 yards receiving against New England. 50? 50 yards. What kind of a line is this? I'm buying. Thompson. Yeah, I'm buying that as well. He has failed to hit.

50 receiving yards once this season, and that's because it was 48. I am going to sell. And the reason I'm going to sell is because it is the New England Patriots. I think that they're going to keep things in front of them, and so you'll get some dump-offs from Chris Thompson. But the difference is they're not going to be playing some crazy pre-vent where he runs for 20 or 30 yards like he did in several of these games where, you know, he got over the 50-yard mark. It's a good line.

Obviously, he's done it three out of four times. He's certainly capable. And it's just a matter of what New England decides to take away. But I think that they don't want Chris Thompson to run wild in the open and they'll be prepared. Brooks, because we're competitive here and because I need to know, you should give us standings on this week to week. I'd like to know how our buyer sales went from the week preceding and who was right, who was wrong.

That's a great idea. So now you have more job responsibilities. You will not be paid more. It will be paid the same. Sounds great. All right. Amari Cooper. This is a pretty good deal. Amari Cooper, does he have a top 10 wide receiver finish in him against Green Bay this week? Amari Cooper, a top 10 finish against Green Bay. It was a disappointing yet still better than Juju Smith-Schuster week for Amari Cooper last week. Fair. And Green Bay's...

They gave up a significant amount of points against Philadelphia, but not a lot of yardage through the air for Carson Wentz. A top 10 finish. I'm definitely going to sell. Definitely. Definitely. Tyrone Smith, left tackle is out of the game. The few games we've seen without him, Dak Prescott is not the same when he does not have that protection. The Green Bay Packers defense has.

been great. Amari Cooper had a very good week one and was 14th, not top 10. So I'm going to say he doesn't hit top 10. I think this line is just a little too high for me to be confident. Yeah, top 10 is, it's a tough place to get in there. And like you were saying, he had over 100 yards and a touchdown. And if he wasn't top 10 with that line, it can be pretty tough to get in there. He is at home, which really helps. So Amari Cooper, both home games have been.

Very good. The road games, he has failed to surpass 50 receiving yards. The injury to Smith, though, is a massive concern. So I will sell a top 10. I think I'll join you guys. If 19.6 fantasy points in week one wasn't good enough for top 10, that's a, you know, he's the wide receiver 7 on the year, but that doesn't mean he gives you a top 10 performance every week. So I'll take a better game. You also don't have, you know, you don't have help.

If I'm the Green Bay secondary, their defense, I'm focusing on Amari Cooper and letting the Randall Cobb, Devin Smith of the world, and Jason Whitten, who led the team in receiving last week beat you, not Amari Cooper. So I'll sell it as a top 10 finish. This is one of those like you're taking the field. Like right now, Amari Cooper is my number seven ranked wide receiver on the week. You go, well, you're saying he's top 10. But in reality, there's a bunch of people that you'll never guess that have big blowup games every single week, hop into that top 10.

So I'm taking the field here to say he has an okay to good game, but there's too many people. All right, Zach Ertz, does he get his first touchdown of the year against the New York Jets this week? Zach Ertz, buy yourself, first touchdown of the season. I'll go first again. I'm going to buy for the first time today. Zach Ertz has had eight touchdowns the last two seasons. That includes two seasons ago when he was only on the, I think he was around 110 targets two seasons ago. He's a guy that,

You know, he's about an eight touchdown a year type of player. And we're going into week five. He doesn't have his first touchdown. Dallas Goddard caught one. He's a great weapon near the goal line. And I think he comes out on top. It seems like Deshaun Jackson is not going to play. Have you guys read anything? It's not been positive. No, there's not really a lot known about how he's progressing or how long it's going to be, but it's definitely trending in the wrong direction. So.

Probability-wise, he's still got, it's a much better chance with DJX off the field. But I'm going to sell. Well, this is just, there's just kind of fluky stuff. It is. Well, even bringing up the eight touchdown line, that would be a touchdown every other game. That'd be a 50-50. And so you flip a coin here. I'm going to, I'm going to sell it. I think he'll keep his.

Goosing trend going. Dak Prescott a top 10 quarterback against Green Bay. So this is the other side of the Amari question. Only we skip one number to talk about Zach Ernst for a second. Zach Prescott, top 10, Green Bay, by yourself. You know, ironically, three out of the four weeks, he has been top 10, even though Amari Cooper, three out of the four weeks has not been top 10. I think it's a little bit easier for him. He's got the rushing baseline. That being said,
