Depression mailbag? What was that? That was the... I'm trying to click on something. And you forgot your cue? Uh-oh. I got to think of something that's hilarious. All right. If you've got a question for us, it is very simple. Go to the website. The fancy footballers.com. Click the submit a question button in the upper right-hand corner. You can also call us at 302-464 TFFB and leave us a voicemail question. We're going to start by answering a couple of voicemail questions tonight.

Hey guys, this is Miro from Dubai. Dubai. I have a quick question for you guys. I'm in a league where there's a two quarterback format, two quarterbacks, two wide receivers, two running backs, two flexes, and a defense. It's a PPR league. I was just wondering, in the first three rounds or four rounds, should I be concentrating on a quarterback, or should I be doing the standard picking where you look towards?

running back heavy. Looking forward to your advice guys, thanks. What do you guys think? This is a two-quarterback league. I think we just showed with our draft, the absolute depth with quarterback. I mean, we had 19 guys go off the list, and we still didn't panic. We still ended up with great quarterbacks who we like. Now, if a top-tier guy is there, like Rogers' luck, maybe second round or late first, I'll grab one.

But otherwise, I'm still going to focus normal. Wow. That is not my advice at all. Mine either. So we got a dispute here. I would concentrate on quarterbacks for sure in a two-quarterback league. I think the disparity does happen a lot. You don't want to end up with one of those guys after, you know, starting one of those 24 guys where you can't just stream matchups, but week in, week out, having to play them against good matchups and bad matchups. That's a killer. Yeah, you can't presume streaming success. That's one of the reasons why they're called streamers. You don't.

draft Carson Palmer or Bridgewater at the end and just say, this is my guy because you don't know. And in a two-quarterback league, you need at least one guy that you know. That's my opinion on it. I would be perfectly happy with Sam Bradford and Carson Palmer. You've always had late quarterback Cajonis, though. Yep. And it has worked very well for me. It has. It's true. I can't argue with that. You know, I think we should tell you how we doing? This is Ryan from Utah. I'm just calling about the Eagles back filled with Marco Murray and...

Ryan Matthews, I feel like those two backs with how much they've been injured in the past. I feel like if I wanted to grab DeMarco, what is smart to grab Ryan Matthews? Because I have a feeling, I don't know if you guys think the same way, it might be more of a committee, instead of just DeMarco getting below because of their injuries. So just let me know. Thanks. I think we agree with you. Matthews is a great handcuff. I like to look at the Eagles as a committee. And I'm not joking as a team.

The team philosophy and the offensive philosophy is a committee. There is not much to yours. I mean, you almost said this. You guys just said it with Nelson Aguilar. You just said he could be a one. Jason did. I mean, I don't disagree. There's a committee at the wide receiver position. There's a committee at the running back position. And some guys are going to have a little higher stats than the other guys. And DeMarco is the guy there. I think DeMarco still gets 65 to 70 percent, though. Yeah. But it's hard to come by a better.

handcuff. And both guys are injury prone, so who knows? Great value there. And if DeMarco goes down, he's a beast. So, yeah, I agree. So let's do another voicemail question. What's up? You double stuff, studs. Thanks so much for the show. I really, really love it. A couple questions for you. I'll try and keep it under 45 seconds. First question, Doug Martin, his ADP is in like the eighth round. I've been burned by him in the past. I'm just wondering if you think there's a potential for a bounce back. They say he's lost weight looks pretty good.

Second question is know your league, right? So in my family league, 10-team, half-point TPR, pretty much everyone drafts two-quarterbacked fascism. It's not a two-quarterback league. I'm wondering if you would draft like a Maddie Ice or a Tanna Hill a little bit earlier and roll with them for the majority of the season or continue streaming. And I'm thinking maybe like a Kaepernick or a Bridgewater, Palmer, maybe one of the Eagles, QB's.

will still be there to stream towards the end of the draft. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks so much for show. What do you think, Mike? I agree when he said the Kaepernick Bridgewater. Those two, I think I can get quarterback one performances out almost every single week. And Doug Martin? Oh, I think Doug Martin is a decent pick. Is he Chris Ivory? Is he that late round guy that ends up?

Yeah, absolutely. Somehow going late, but might be a starter. People have been burned by Doug Martin in the past because you took him in the first one or two or three rounds. Yeah, you're not going to be burned by a guy in the eighth. I will tell you this. There will be a starting running back for the Tampa Bay Pucks. And it was already announced. Yeah, Doug's Doug Martin. All right, let's answer a couple more quick ones here. Hey, guys. Travis from Houston. Mike, thanks for the sausage dip recipe. Oh, yeah. That will be happening this year.

Just quick question, why is everyone so in love with rookie running backs this year? Unproven, haven't played a snap yet. I'm in a keeper league, so definitely young talent. It's something I keep an eye out for. But I'm just not buying that any of these rookie running backs are going to come in and make an impact. What say you? You can get your hand up. No, no, no, that's the Monte Bell. Because, yeah, man.

Preaching to the choir over here. You got a small football. You're preaching to at least one third of the choir. How about the, how about the Trent Richards and Doug Martin year? Here's what I think. Two RB ones. I think two years ago. I'm just saying there's a difference between a guy you see play on the field and a guy that you don't. Last year we came in before the year. Everybody wants Chris Johnson, but there's a lot of guys in between. So here's the thing. Last year we came into the year knowing there was an exceptionally deep wide receiver draft class. That the wide receivers were great. And what did they do last year?

They were literally the best rookie wide receiver class in the history of the NFL, and they won people championships in fantasy football. Did we know that, though? Yes, beforehand. Everyone was saying it. And during that year, last year, they were saying it's a weak running back class, but watch out for next year. This is two years ago that we've been waiting for this year's running back class. I believe they are studs, and so I want my chips on them. That's my take. All right. I just...

Yeah, and that's just a philosophical thing with fantasy. I mean, if I believe in a guy, I think Gordon has a great opportunity. When guys have opportunities, you got to give them, you got to roll them out there. I just know that if it comes down to foundational players on my fantasy roster, I like Singh. But Singh is believing. What round is there at least you'll take a rookie running back? I think Yeldon and Gordon I would take in the top four. So fourth round, third round, you wouldn't do it? I would, yeah, I'd think about third round. Okay.

Then that's all we're talking about. No, I know. It's not really a debate. I just am agreeing with him that there's a lot of hype around it and you just don't know. And this is the time to see it with camp and things like that. You can get red flags and you can get green lights. So that's all the time we have. Be sure to check out Fanduil.com.
