Inside the episode
110 passagesInstagram question from Dalton Miles. What's the most amount of leagues you have participated in in a single season? I think it was like eight or nine. Around 10. Yeah. Oh, and it's just the worst. Yeah. Participate it is the right word. When you hit Waver Day and you go, ugh. That's a, it's bad. That means you're in too many leagues. Because you got to, you got to head into the coal mine and do your work that day. When you hit Sunday and you go, oh, crap. Oh, I didn't.
Check that league. When you're staring at the screen and you're simultaneously happy and sad for every player that does every single thing. Yeah, that also is a problem. Two or three leagues. multiples if you're in Dynasty. Yeah. Yeah. I agree. Makes some more fun. Dominic. What's your take on where J.K. Dobbins can finish by the end of 2022. Ooh. So like a ceiling call for JK?
Yeah, I think his ceiling would be a top eight running back. Oh my gosh, eight's the number in my head. Yeah, I think that that is where he can get more passing work than, I mean, this was kind of the argument coming into last year, the belief as to whether or not he would.
get more passing work. I believe what they showed with their transactions last year, getting in Bateman, and what happened on the field. They want Lamar to throw the ball a little bit more, and part of that's going to be utilizing the running back as a receiver, which they had not done in the previous successful season. You should give me the completion number from the year before, now that we just looked that up for Lamar. The 20.5 from this last year, I know he missed some time, but I, yeah, he's probably 17, 18 per game.
I doubt it was that low, but I will tell you. Okay. Yeah, I'll just kind of stall a little bit. He averaged 16 completions per game. Oh, brother. Makes sense. Makes sense. And the running backs like, Devante Freeman had relevance this year. Yes, he did. That is a sentence that shouldn't have been true. That's a, yeah. So Dobbins has the chance to come in and score some touchdowns and be really involved. Dobbins was a top 24 running back. He was running back 21.
on 44% of snaps. Do you think you can finish, like Jason and I put the line at 8 as a ceiling? I think that's pretty good. I don't know that I would go higher because I don't see a world where all of a sudden Dobbins is a 40-plus reception guy, and you either need that or you've got to hit, you know, 13 or more rushing touchdowns. You have to have an outlier somewhere. Nathan writes in on Instagram with an important question that I think is right up both of your alley. Is the coin toss going to be heads or tails?
Oh, Tails. Ooh. You're a Tails never fails? Tails never fails, man. Is it just because it rhymes, though? No. No, it's because I'm right. I'll go ahead. We just, I was at this event the other day. Oh, man. Was it the event of me and Andy where Tails failed? No, no, no, no. Because that did just happen. Yeah. I got a sweet, rare Debo NFL all day card because Mike lost a coin flip. Yeah, it's true. Because you told me that Tails never fails. Well, Tells never fails for me.
Was that one of those Jason guarantees? Lock it in. Yeah. All right. It's going to be tails. Mike, you need to weigh in here. It's very important. With your recent history, do you have a changing opinion? I've been burned by tails recently. I've got to change up my strategy to go heads. Don't be a fool. Oh, no. All right. Jason can stand alone. What would you trade for Cordarrel Patterson and rookie picks in a dynasty league? Nate Jensen, 85 on Instagram wants to know.
Cordarral is the word on the street. Almost nothing. Is that he is pandering for the Falcons to bring him back. Of course, yes. If I were Mr. Patterson, that is what I would want. I think he had a nice time. He got to be a more integral part of the offense, whether it's by necessity or not. He was, look, there were other people as a part of the Falcons offense that did not produce. Sure. Because they.
necessarily had to be. Because they were Mike Davis. Yeah. Yeah. Or anybody not named Russell Gage in the wide receiver court. But Patterson did look like he could help a team. So would you trade anything? Would you trade a third round pick for a quarter? Sure. Yeah. But even that is the tippy topy. I mean, a third round pick is already a gamble. Although they do hit. I mean, if you're in a single quarterback league, frequently you'll see one of the top drafted quarterbacks just drop into the third round and you should.
almost always draft that player there. I think I got, you got Mack Jones. Mac Jones, like third to last pick. Every year. Like, it just, one of them always falls into the third. So there's some safety or you can go for upside. I just think that the probability that Atlanta does nothing else of note at the running back position. And they look at their roster from last year ago. That's it. Re-roll it. Mike Davis and Cordero Patterson. That's.
I can astronomically low numbers. They can cut Mike Davis for a $750,000 dead cat this this offseason. Okay. And they should. Yeah, I mean, they need to bring someone else in. Twitter question from Matt wants to know another toughie here. White queso or yellow queso? Both are great. Okay. White. You're white. Where? I need to know why. I mean, that's got to be. Why is that? Is it a flavor thing? It is a flavor thing white.
cheeses are usually... Like a white cheddar? I like a white American. A white cheddar, a white cheddar, a white American. If you just compare those flavors to their yellow counterparts, they are usually more delicious and also... Colby overall. More award-winning. What? No, wait, you know this to be true? I do know this to be true. More award-winning cheeses are white based on flavor. State your sources, sir. The grocery stores.
Go look at the packages. Go look at the grocery store. You're looking at the testimonials on the cheese that are selling it. On the marketing on the cheese itself. That's darn right I am. So you walked around and you came away from the part of the store with thinking, boy, those white cheeses are award-winning cheese. I only purchase award-winning cheeses, Andy. Okay. And so. I don't believe that for a minute. No, I get a lot of different cheeses, but I prefer award-winning. What's your stance on Velvita?
Velvita is not a cheese. It's the miracle whip of cheeses. I mean, Colby is my favorite cheese. Colby's delicious. I don't think they're making like a queso out of Colby, though. I thought you're going to say, I don't think they're making big bucks on Colby. They should be. Yeah, it's kind of an indie cheese. It is. It's not nearly in enough places. I agree. If you could just get it in the door.
But this is kind of like, you know how you go to the restaurants and they have the occasional soda that's like nowhere else? Right. And you're like that's the best soda. They have an RC here. Yeah, but they're not everywhere. So they can't be the best. Yeah. You need to get in there and start lobbying for Colby. Well, see, the thing is like they tried to sneak in with Colby Jack because that's like. Yeah, because people want the spice. Yeah, that's that's around. And I have no, no quarrel with Colby Jack, but just Colby is just, it's.
The superior cheese. I don't have any quarrels with any cheeses right now. I am considering. No, cheese as a whole. It's great. That's great. And we can talk about it for just days, possibly. Favorite cheese, Brooksie? Just cheddar. Of course. Oh, kid me over here. You like a thick slice or like a thin slice? Treaded. Threaded. Thin. Thin. Farrow to pick. And Al's just waiting to jump in.
I was just ready in case you asked. So thank you for asking. Colby Pepper Jack. Okay. Okay. Wait, that's a separate thing? Is that a long name? Is that a long name for Colby Jack? No, I believe. Colby Jack is the proper name. Colby Jack is just Colby and Monterey Jack, I believe. Oh. And then Pepper Jack is the introduction of peppers in the sent cheese. So there is Colby Pepper Jack? Yes, sir. Oh. Sometimes I think we take things too far. Is it award winning?
No. Is it, what color are we working with here? It's got to be yellow and white with the. Those are the only two colors of cheese, though, right? I think. Unless something's gone horribly wrong. Yes, eventually you get a green cheese. I don't think I can think of any. You've got like the red. Blue cheese. Blue cheese. But blue cheese is white. We're still going.
Anything else? Anybody? What color are cheese? When does football start? What color are cheese? Yes, yes. Naturally white, off white, or even golden yellow. Those are your options. That's the full pantheon of cheese colors. Got it. All right. We have to keep talking about this. But Matt Gorman has a question. Have you ever completed a multi-team trade? I have not. Not.
In formality. I've done a lot of trades where I'm secretly working, too, and I have one contingent dependent on the other, and then they both happen at the same time. 100%. I've done that where... Just a lot of work to do a full three-team trade. Yeah, because you have to convince two other people versus, you know, convincing. Like, when you convince them one at a time, it's so much easier than having to convince multiples. Have you done a three-way train? I have not. All right. Twitter. What is the highest first round pick?
That you would trade for DJ Moore. This is a great question. This is. Kindle Lowe on Twitter. And this is very philosophical because, okay, well, that's, where do you stand, Andy, on DJ Moore's talent as a wide receiver in the NFL? I think he is an exceptional talent. Okay. So, okay, because we do agree that he is one of the better wide receivers. And I.
He's got to still be young. He's 24 years old. 24 years old. He's three straight 1100 yard seasons. Yes. Makes highlight real plays on the on the reg. But has been kind of confined to the four touchdown club. And he could be a game. And quarterback issues. So how high would I trade? I would probably trade. I would probably trade the third pick. Really? Okay. I'd be that. I'd go that high. Yeah.
Yeah, I think Mike's right. It's a philosophical question because what you're doing when you're grabbing these wide receivers is you're hoping in the first round that you're going to get someone even better than DJ Moore. You know, DJ Moore seems like he's capped as like a wide receiver 15. And so philosophically, would you rather have a 50% chance? But he could be better if his situation improved. Yes, he could be. But we've said that for a long time. I don't know that his situation is going to get better. You feel any different about McLaurin?
I mean, I feel like those two guys are very similar. Are the identical boat of like, should you buy? The difference is DJ Moore is 27. 26. Which is crazy, right? Because DJ Moore has been in the league longer. Yes. Because he entered the league before he could drive. But I mean, McLaren, two straight years, 1100, 1053 on limited games. So, I mean, both of those are bets on talent. Yes. That's what I mean by philosophical. And I mean, if you're 24 or 26, like.
the window to find a quarterback, both of those franchises, to find something better than what they've had. But are you talking about the commander? The Manders? I'm full locked in on Manders. You're into it. Yes. The Manders. I think, I don't think I would go top three because they're, like, I think, I mean, there's good wide receivers in this. Yes, Breece is good. There's a couple wide receivers who look.
Top 5? Number 5? I think 105 maybe. I might be softening a little and go that direction. It's hard because the promise is always so powerful. Yes. Let me ask you this then. Okay. DJ Moore in a dynasty or Devante Smith. Devante Smith. I think DJ Moore's better. So that's an example of like where did Devante Smith go in last year's rookie draft? Like four or five. Okay. So that that's kind of the.
The player that had you rolled the dice, you traded your five away for DJ Moore, you would have gotten somebody like Devote Smith. Yeah. And he was our fifth pick in this last year. And obviously there are picks that don't work out. Rashad Bateman was in the first round of a lot of drafts. Injured. Sure, you know, but, you know, you know that DJ Moore has value. Yes. But it's kept. All right.
In honor of the commanders, YouTube question from DA. Demanders. What are the top three NFL teams that you would rename? Packers. Oh. Well, you don't like the Packers. It's a dumb name. Okay. I mean, it's classic. I love. Yeah. They are the Green Bay Packers. But it's like if I were just looking at the names on a sheet of paper. Yeah. I'm looking at them now. I'm trying to see which ones would be voted that way. Packers would be in there. That makes sense. I would.
