Stash or Trash + Post Draft Panic

Might be the starter. And this is the context that Brooks wanted us to have is that you have different decisions to make. You don't get to stash all these players. You have to make, you know, stash decisions. You know, Debo or John Brown? He probably stashed John Brown in that situation. Yeah, so I want to ask the question here between Debo and Marquis Goodwin. If you've got one spot to stash, you're both on your waivers. You're listening to this show. That's a great question. Who would you rather stash there? I think, man.

Wow, you're even considering Debo. Yeah, to me, it's wild, man. Debo is being drafted ahead of him, not that that validates my point if I pick Debo here. But I like, I like upside. And I think Goodwin offers you, we've seen him. He's a big play guy. He gets injured a ton. Debo Samuel, I think could establish himself as the favorite target of Garoppola. So I think I'd like this. He's good. He's very good.

He's very good, and he does everything Kyle Shanahan wants him to do. I think he could have a more integral role that's more valuable for fantasy. Goodwin fits into the D-Jackson John Brown category of on again, off again, not going to be a high-volume guy. If you believe in Pettus. I do. I was going to say when it's all said and done, this is irrelevant because Pettus is going to be the clear number one. I love that you, I love that he's your my guy. All right, McColl Hardman, 13th round pick, McColl Hardman.

Are you interested in who could be the fifth target on an offense just because of the innovation of Andy Reid? Ender rounds, running opportunities, big plays. McCall Hardman, are you stashing or trashing? I am not stashing. I don't think I am either. Yeah, no. Look, similar to the Debo argument, it is very, very rare.

for a rookie wide receiver to get off to a hot start on their NFL career, week one, week two. That's not to say it doesn't happen. You know, 2014, you had a couple of guys do it. You got your Anquam Boldens of old that just come out and torch the world week one. But because it's rare and he doesn't have a spot really locked in, I feel like it's going to take injury or a transaction to put him on the field enough to be a reliable starter for those reasons.

I'm out. Shark tank. If Mikol Hardman goes off week one, it's because he caught two passes for 75 yards and a touchdown. This isn't, he doesn't have that Anquan Bolden opportunity where he's an integral part of the offense right away. Mikol was very interesting when it looked like Tyree Kill was going to.

miss the NFL or miss a bunch of games. It's been very interesting to see how they've used them in the preseason. They will use them. Touch passes, screen passes. Opportunities to let those legs run free. Yes, but it's it's just hard to stash a guy who's when you have Hill, Zeus, and the Lizard King all on one team. And I even bring up Damien Williams. Yeah, absolutely. I think that makes sense.

Any Dolphins wide receivers at all? Stash or Trash? Look, I mocked Mike early in the offseason. I hated the love that you gave for Albert Wilson. I didn't understand it. I didn't believe he'd be ready, yada, yada, yada. And now I find myself, as we are a week away from the NFL kickoff. I'm like, kind of interested in Albert Wilson. He's the only one, even though I believe in Kenny Stills as a...

medium level, mid-level NFL-wide receiver. Really nice to see you downgrade him officially. Thank you. But Albert Wilson, he's interesting. He's healthy. I have no interest in any of them. They are trash, trash, trash. You know, what's helpful about that is the quarterback situation there. That will probably change in like two weeks. It could, but that's why I'm interested. That's been part of why I've been interested in Albert Wilson. Let me put it another way. Will you chase him?

if he has a good week one on the waiver wire? It depends on how Ryan Fitzpatrick looks. Okay. So I've got a color in my opinion here because, you know, I've changed a lot on Albert Wilson. I'm interested in him. But he's definitely a trash. Because when I actually think about would I, in my league, go get him right now, plays Ravens week one. No, I wouldn't. So I don't want people to think, oh, I'm saying he's a definite stash. He's more of a keep an eye on, wait and see if he's healthy.

I'm not going to grab him prior to his breakup. We just talked about Golden Tate. I would much rather have Albert Wilson stashed on my bench than Golden Tate. Well, sure. But I'm just saying, people are drafting Golden Tate. Stop. I would rather have Golden Tate on my bench than Albert Wilson. That's where I would be. I think Golden Tate will be a pretty peppered target in that offense. Yeah, he could be. Week five. Yeah. But I mean, some people play the game of.

You're going to sign and drop four players before you pick up Golden Tate anyway. If you're picking up last year, here's some examples of last year's stash or trash. Josh Doxon, John Ross, Tewan Taylor, Doug Martin, Danny Mandela. If I'm picking four of those and just dropping them week after week, I feel like I know the commodity that is Golden Tate. I don't know the commodity of some of those other players. Some panned out last year, the big stashes. Matt Breda, James Connor. Those were guys that...

amazingly James Connor was in stash or trash last year. Everyone was still waiting for Love Bell to come back. We also have an update on Golden Tate's team. We're talking about Pope John Paul the second high school wide receiver, Golden Tate. Thank you, Brooks. Yes. Brooks has let us know he's starting next week. It's a homecoming game. Always update, up to date info here. Man, if Golden Tate could go back and play on his high school team, dude, I would get tickets. I would stash him. He would be good.

I love watching people just dominate. He's been held back six years, but he's still eligible to play high school. That is part of your personality and character, Jason, is you have no qual. You have no qualms about admitting competition is not something you're interested in. You want pure and utter domination. Cheat codes. I love the idea of competition, the expectation of competition, and then the annihilation of enemies. Now, how would you relate that entire kind of?

circumference of thought with your foosball play of late there has been domination there has been domination are you embracing that you can ask no uh it will flip soon here's here's the reality you can ask my wife oh no did you bring it home last night oh my goodness did i bring it home last night i was so man depressed i'm sorry that's my fault look i'm gonna put this out there i gotta i gotta own up to the truth mike

You have been on fire. I am usually on defense. You are on offense. We were on separate teams. The reality is, metaphorically speaking, you laid me over your lap and you gave me a woman over and over and I felt so bad. I went home depressed because I'm great at Fuseball.

I'm not good. I'm great. You are. And I was terrible. And then I went. Or Mike was just really good. Well, I, like, that's part of my compliment. I say he's great. So what does that make me? Right. And, and you posted a picture of me, like, looking up, but I got to tell you, last night, Tiff walked in on me watching food, watching foosball videos last night at home because I was. No, it's not what you think.

Yeah. But here's what I learned. Here's what I learned. I was watching one of the best matches of the last several years between two great players, one of which is referred to as the Michael Jordan of Fuzball. And he was... There's a Jordan of Fuzball. There is. And the opponent of him had a... Is he the bird? Wicked... Yes, he would be the bird of Fuzball. He had a wicked pull shot. And he smoked...

Michael Jordan for 80% of his shots. I mean, I felt so much better about my lack of being able to defend your pole shot. Because I'm like, okay, I just need a better offense. One part of the analysis there is I thought you were trying to get better, but you're also looking for justification for getting beat. I was only looking to get better, but I received justification. Okay. We're going to jump into the mailbag for a few questions. Help you guys out. Mailbag.

It seemed a little higher pitch than normal, Mike. Just a little bit higher. The pipes. The pipes have been a little destroyed over the week. We're getting better. Well, every time you score on Jason, you scream really loud and it's happened a lot. All right. If you have a question for the fantasy footballers, you can send it on the website.

B, we got another voicemail question in there. Let's go to that. Hey, ballers. This is in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Question for you about waiver. You let waivers run after the first set of the games. It runs on a Tuesday at midnight into Wednesday. Then after that, do you prefer to let it be every day there's another waiver run? Or is it a wide open ad after that until the next setting? Yeah, great question. And we have long since moved on from the wide open waiver world. Yes.

respect the fact that other human beings have different jobs with different hours and different thoughts and different, you know, time that they can put into it. And it's a much more even playing field to have the waivers run each and every day at the same time. Expectations are set. We use a fab system. But even still, having them run at one time is probably the best way to go. Yeah, I mean, even if I didn't respect your jobs and who knows? Maybe I do. Maybe I don't. But, and I love being able to.

dominate on people, oh, open waivers, we're professional, you know, fantasy analysts so we can make the move the second news breaks. That being said, continuous waivers, that's the, that's usually what it's referred to in the settings and having it run every day is so much more fun. Every single day you have a bidding war, every single day you have something to look at and everybody had time to get in. It's a blast.

The only complaint that I ever hear is what about Sunday? What about last minute waiver moves? You just got to prepare. In the years we've been playing with the system, I can't think of one moment where it really ruined anything. Yeah, I think the only way that you can get into trouble is if you run it too early in the day. Sure. You need to find that balance. If you run it at 6 in the morning, things happen for fantasy before the game start, let's say, you know, we're West Coast. So the game started like 10 in the morning.

There's a big window there. But we run them at like an hour or two before game time. It works out fine. To me, optimal would be the way we do it, which is continuous every single day except for Tuesday. Correct. But if we could take Sunday once they run and then have it be open until kickoff and then everyone is locked again, I think that would be optimal. All right. Chris in Miami, would you guys agree taking juju at the 104?

In a dynasty startup. Age, potential, position, durability. Thank you. Are you cool with Juju at 104? Yes. Heck yes. All right. Joel in San Diego, how do you regulate draft pick trading in a keeper league? Well, we really don't regulate it a whole lot. We let it happen. We have a strict trade deadline that we brought up. Ours in our main keeper league is a couple weeks before the normal deadline because we want people to make decisions on.

the trajectory of their team earlier so that you don't get as much tanking or selling out. When you don't get that last second sellout or the last second by all the super players, like right going into the playoffs. But we don't let you trade more than a year in advance. That's one thing we don't let you do. And we also, there is a penalty. So we don't regulate. You don't have to have your full allotment of picks heading into next year's draft. You're our,

You put yourself at the disadvantage that you don't have those picks, but you also then pay credit. You lose $10 of Fab at the end of the draft for every pick that you did not have accounted for. So it cuts both ways for those players. Very interesting breaking news that I just received via email. I don't know how this happens, but there is another Andrew Holloway out there who seems to be from Georgia.

who just ordered a couple of things from Taco Bell. Oh, fans. Oh, man. A beefy fritos burrito and a cassarita combo. That sounds good. But he must have, I mean, put in my email address somehow. So I know that. He put yours in? Yeah, I think he mistyped it. And so now I know that there's another Andrew Holloway out there that is eating. That has a very close email to yours as well. You should email them. Yeah. And say thanks for the Taco Bell. Because when I got the email, I thought maybe I was getting food, which, by the way, hashtag.

Not a sponsor. I thought I was receiving food. Someone ordered it for me. Maybe Brooks was making it up to me after the Golden Tate situation. But no, it's just another Andrew. All right, time for a couple more questions. Kyle and Chicago, how much does having two players on the same team limit your upside? So on the same bad team? Carry on. And Kenny G, for example, may need to trade one or both.
