I'm laughing because I watched the new Jerry Seinfeld comedy special. Oh man, I forgot to watch it. On Netflix last night. And he was talking about flowers and how much women love flowers, how they live for flowers. But he was talking about how the flower store.

It's set up in all the wrong fashion. You should walk in and you should say what your offense is. And then they should hand you the appropriate bouquet and you just walk out the back. You know, like, no, you're, you know, I walk in and forgot a birthday. Yeah, exactly. Right. Okay. It was pretty funny. So, all right. Hey, we're going to, uh, we're going to jump into the mail bag.

And you can also dial our voicemail hotline at 302464 TFFB. We're going to start with a voicemail question that ties into the quick question. Hey, guys. This is Nick calling from New York City. New York City. Nice. Anyways, I drafted DeMarco Murray, and I was able to snag Derek Cannon later on in the draft.

So my question for you guys is, which one do I start this upcoming Sunday? It's a full point PPR. Thanks in advance, guys. Love the show. Bye. It's a great question, and it's one that everybody's going to face, and I'm happy we're talking about it, but I want you guys to weigh in. If this is all under the presumption that DeMarco Marie is playing, active, and if he isn't, guess what? You play Derek Henry. Yeah, it gets a little easier. If he's active, I want to know what each of you guys are doing this week.

If DeMarco Murray is active, I'm going to play DeMarco Murray over Derek Henry because he's the starter. He'll get the first crack at things. And I mean, if he's active, you play him. That's how I see this role. I'm not going to sit him. I can't imagine that you've got so many great backs that you put them in ahead. Well, the question is, what if you had Derek Henry on your roster? Yeah, I would. That's what I'm saying. I would start DeMarco Murray over Derek Henry.

Oh, okay. I thought you were talking about other backs on your roster that you would consider starting over, over Murray. Man, I'm not, and I'm not even, I'm not trying to be contrarian or hot taggie, but I think I would play Derek Henry this particular week. They're taking on Seattle, you know, at home. I think that the Titans can win this game because of the inefficiencies of Seattle's offensive line. Seattle's offensive line. I was trying to think about their defensive line.

Oh, you're saying that the Titans defense can help control this game to the point. And Seattle is a tough rushing matchup. So why, if the game script, you can control the game, why wear out to Marco Murray? Why not let him rest a little bit in this situation? So I think by the end that Derek Henry is going to have more touches. Does it make any difference to you that it's a full PPR league and DeMarco Murray is more effective in that format?

A little bit, it does. But just the way that I'm projecting the game flow, and granted, we're still working on the rankings and everything. So this could change. And of course, this is a, you need to get news further down the week. But as of right now, it wouldn't shock me if Derek Henry ends up with more touches than Murray this week. I don't think that's a super contrarian pick. I mean, if he's held out of practice completely through the week.

you know, to rest, and they still say he's going to be the starter. And come Sunday, he's barely practiced. Then I would probably put in Henry over Murray because they're clearly wanting to limit his, you know, reoccurrence of that injury. It's interesting. It's a tough call. Like, and you can make the argument that Derek Henry has the most guaranteed involvement this week in the sense that, you know, Murray reagravates something. He could be out the field in two plays.

I still lean Murray in a full PBR. Yeah, that's really tough. It is. But I think a lot of people are going to be facing that because they probably invested in Henry. Yeah. All right. Nathaniel is a question from Twitter. He says with the Bengals struggles, is A.J. Green still a weekly must play. What will his ceiling and floor look like this week in Green Bay? Play AJ Green this week. He was in strong consideration for me for the quick question of the buy low.

I think that Green is a great target right now if someone has, like, man, Andy Dalton, he's so bad. I got a bail ship on AJ Green. He's had two of the more difficult matchups in the NFL right now, Baltimore Ravens and the Houston Texans, week one and week two. And then because a lot of players are upset that they're not, you know, hyper-targeting AJ Green and the offense, they don't like the play calling. They have.

fired their offensive coordinator. Play calling's going to change. Yeah, play calling's going to change. And, you know, the rumors were the AJ Green was one of the leaders of that mutiny against the offensive coordinator. So I think AJ Green is a must start. He'll almost certainly be in my top three wide receivers this week. Wow. That's a big upgrade. I mean, I think you're right that the worst possible situation has happened. Zero touchdowns to two games. And AJ Green is still the 26th ranked wide receiver. So he's still in that, you know,

wide receiver two range despite the worst scenario that could happen. I don't know if I'm going to have him at three, but I definitely like your guys' takes on that. At Jupiter Rose says, how worried are you about OBJ for the season? With the ankle, Eli's problems, the crappy O line, would you still treat and trade him like a top tier wide receiver? Yes, I would. Yeah, I mean, look back at last year. Their offense was bad.

was real, real bad. They couldn't run the ball. They didn't have many other weapons outside of Sterling Shepard. And they looked the same this year. But Odell Beckham has been great. And honestly, when he was involved in just the few plays that he was in, it was like, oh, yeah, I'm going to love when he's back to full strength. I think it happens as soon as next week. Odell Beckham is, you know, I think he is absolutely fine. In fact, you could argue that these first two weeks has shown.

how important O'Dell Beckham Jr. is to that offense and how much they need to hyper-target him on a weekly basis once he's able to be on the field for, you know, 85 plus snaps. He was, and he was only on the field for 60% of snaps. So they were limiting him, only choosing when to use him. It was.

A little strange when they did actually choose to use him. But there's a lot of shaking up that's going to happen up in New York. Ben McAdoo may finally relinquished play calling. I mean, they have been, as an overall offense, they've really been a dumpster fire since McAdo became the head coach. They're talking of Orleans Darkwa passing up Smash Jackson on the depth chart. There's a lot of things to bring that up. Yeah, like if you, if Orleans Dark was out on your waiver wire.

you might want to just take a shot at him because he's been 5.1 a carry this year. Paul Perkins has been 1.9 a carry and is going to get benched. It's just the starting, any reason you had to own Paul Perkins in the world? It's done. No, I know, but any reason before for him to be owned, you should make the same argument for whoever will be the running back in New York. It's just the starting running back argument. It's not been good, but, you know, if he gives up play calling, it's the same kind of opportunity that you have in.

Cincinnati for something to change. And they're going to change the offensive line. They're going to mix it up. All right. This is funny. Two coaches, right? Two people who named themselves Coach Alice and Coach Nathan both asked separate questions about Marcus Marietta. Here's the essential question. Look, if you have Marcus Marietta right now, maybe you feel a little stuck. He's got Seattle and Houston coming up. What do you do? Do you bail on him? Do you play a guy like Simeon?

Would you rather roster Simeon over Marioota? Would you rather roster Wins over Marioita? What do you do with Marioita? Yeah, I mean, I'm sitting Marioita and I'm holding him. I think that he's the type of quarterback that can put up such gargantuan numbers in the right matchups that I don't want to drop him to waivers. You know, I'm usually fine with one quarterback. But if I've got Marioita, I'm probably picking up someone else.

for these next two weeks. I'll look at a two week because you know you've got two bad matchups in a row. I'm going to look at the schedule. Who's got a good schedule this week and next week? The answer is Jake Cutler, by the way. Jake Cutler's got a great schedule for two weeks. He should be fine. Andy Dalton, I know that's a scary name to talk about right now, but he's got a pretty good schedule these next few weeks. It definitely opens up.

especially if Green Bay is more of what we saw week two rather than week one. All right. Following up on the Cutler chatter, Trent in Kansas wants to know Winston at Minnesota this week or Cutler at the Jets. Cutler. It's Cutler for me. Minnesota is great. They don't. Cutler? Oh, he's smoking. He's smoking Jay. Don't care. Look, Jay Cutler and Jay Cutler does not care. I mean, do you see those passes? He's thrown to Devante Parker.

I mean, that's vintage. That is vintage. Jay Cutler and involving Jarvis Landry. I like what's going on there. The matchup is fantastic. And what we were alluding to is for Jay Cutler. Next week, New Orleans. Right. So he's a great pickup for two weeks. Future Super Bowl champion, New Orleans Saints. I still believe the future is very long.

So you are probably correct if we're just using future as, you know, someday. Exactly. Right. Exactly. Like the, you know, like the Cubs in Back to the Future. Eventually it happened. Yeah. Sean, on Twitter, is the DFS podcast only on iTunes? No, Sean. It's also on Google Play. And then. Everywhere. Well, maybe.

You can use any podcast addict. You can use any Android podcast player to subscribe to the feed. Yes, that is true. And you can get that feed on our website. You can also get it on Google Play if you're on an Android device. So you can listen to it elsewhere. I don't know if it's on Stitcher yet. I don't think it's on Stitcher yet. And I don't think it's on Spotify yet. And it will be. Spotify will take some time. Stitcher, I don't know what's going on. We sent in the proper paperwork. We sent our representatives, but we have not heard back.

Yet from Mr. Stitcher. Question for Jason. This one's from at Mr. Perry 82. Will Ingram do anything this season? Oh, yes. He definitely will. In fact, the first two weeks, I was going to say the first two weeks. He's actually been fine. He's got nine receptions through two games. You know, I don't think the matchups have been great for him, certainly not Minnesota. This week is rough. I'm sitting, Mark Ingram this week against Carolina who has.

You know, LaShawn McCoy had nine yards rushing last week against them. But because of his utilization in the passing game and because of, I don't know, the history of him in this role with this offense forever, Mark Ingram will be a startable asset throughout most of the year and has been for week one and two. You're not thrilled with him, but if you put him in your flex, he didn't, you know, he didn't poop the pants on your team. Mark Ingram is ranked ahead of.
