Ready for your breakout season? Visit s nhu.edu slash footballers. To the fantasy footballers podcast with your host, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright. It is Wednesday, November 11th. We are the fantasy footballers, and we are back again with another show right in the middle of the week. Looking forward to week number 10.

Somehow, doesn't it feel like just yesterday, Mike, you were just focusing on the draft and telling me how bad Devante Freeman was. And how good Amir Abdullah was going to be? How good Amir Abdullah was going to be. Those were good times. And now week 10? We're all grown up. Oh, memories. Memories. Yeah, well, here we are. How are you guys doing in your leagues, your big leagues?

Well, I'll go first. No, that's what he just did. Yeah. I just said where I am, so I'll stay there for the rest of the year until championship. Doing quite well in my two big leagues, including the one that I lost both Arian Foster and Levione Bell. Still taking care of business. Danny Woodhead and Jeremy Langford. Got it done this week. We all have children. And you know what?

You know what it's like when you see a child experience something for the first time? Like you can remember back to like the first time they got to have ice cream or that's kind of how I feel about Jason in first place. And he started rolling his eyes. Yeah, I started rolling your eyes. In the beginning of my tail. A long time ago. The reign of terror between Andy and Mike. So if you're new to the show, some props to Andy and Mike in the sense that the last three years.

in a row in our league of record. I mean, it's an impossible feat. They have faced off against each other in the championship. I can assure you that will not happen this year. My roster's just too good. Your roster is really, really good. You've got the Ingram, Lamar Miller, Frank Gore, running back combo. You've got...

Four good wide receivers with Jeffrey, Alan Robinson, Randall Cobb, and Mike Evans. You got the depth. You have Olson, a top-tier tight end. Cam, Eli, and Romo on my I are. Although you have not been able to start the right quarterback, but it hasn't mattered because you've already scored 9 million points every week. You didn't start Eli for his 54, and you didn't start Cam for his 42. And then I started Eli over Cam the next week. That's called, that's that like chasing points ping pong ball. I'm still putting up 150 with.

50 on my bench. So I'm fine with that. If you're in that situation in your league with those guys, the best way moving forward, and this is what Jason's actually doing. He's not actually chasing the points with Eli, is just looking fresh at the matchups each week and just saying, you know, don't say Eli's going to get 54. Don't say that Cam's going to get 42. Just say, hey, who's the best guy to play in this matchup for this week? So we've got our mailbag show today. We're going to answer a ton, a ton, an Eddie Lacey ton of questions. I know.

And we'll answer your questions heading into week 10. So if you've got trade questions, we're going to answer start sick questions, roster moves, those type of things. If you want to follow the show, there are so many ways you can do that. You can do it on Twitter at the FF Ballers. We're always on there posting new content, answering questions from the listeners. We love hanging out on Twitter. Mike is kind of the Twitter dude. I mean, we're all Twitter dudes, but Mike is like the biggest Twitter dude. Yeah.

If anyone out there knows... Because he's so hip. Well, yeah. I mean... I mean, it did take him like four to five hours to learn how to use Snapchat, though. I still have not mastered Snapchat. I haven't really figured it out either. But I'm following people, like people in my family use it. And so I wake up every morning and I've got these various ridiculous videos waiting for me that they send to me and then I have to figure out how to reply to them because you feel a very big obligation when someone sends you a video to reply to the video. And I still don't know how the

The people sending us messages, which we appreciate them all. Sometimes there's some funny stuff that comes in. And I don't know if I'm supposed to reply. I don't know if this was like a group message. I don't know how it works. But we appreciate the Snapchat's coming in. There you go. So you can check us out. Also, if you don't know, you can watch the show on YouTube. Our YouTube channel is on there. We put the show up.

Every single day. We also put up segments. If you only got a couple minutes to grab a segment or maybe you're listening to the show and you miss...

some of the end of it, you can go on to YouTube, subscribe on YouTube, so you see those segments coming through. And check us out on the Fantasy Footballers.com. We're always working to make the website better. But the big thing people go there, they check out the rankings every week. We've got our rankings up there. So you know who to start, who to sit based on how we're projecting the week to go. And we're on Facebook as well. And obviously on iTunes, we appreciate your subscriptions to the podcast and the reviews on there. That's why we do the show. So you guys excited about Week 10? Yes.

Mike made a move to the mic like he was going to talk and then just shut his mouth. What do you guys think? Is there a team? Let me ask you this beforehand. I got a quick question for you, actually.

Two questions. First one is kind of NFL. Is there a team that's really surprised you this year? I mean, we're more than halfway through this season. At this point, the most surprising or exciting team to you right now is... Well, those are different questions, but the most surprising... Okay, the most surprising team. To me, it's Carolina. I thought that they had a great D, but they were so decimated on offense. I did not expect them to be at this point undefeated. And looking like with their future schedule, they're going to have a bot. I would have never expected. Okay. Mike, do you have a pick?

Uh, the Raiders. That's what I was going to say. The Raiders, man. Partially because I just want them to do well and partially because they're, they're kind of in every game. They can beat anybody. Agree. We have, uh, we, we sympathize with the struggles of the Raiders as Cardinal fans, and it took me a while to buy in, but I'm in. I'm in with the Raiders. I guess if you go the inverse type of surprise, you might say the Cowboys.

But it's not one of those things where you're surprised that they perform so bad on their own. It was more injury. When you lose... The Ravens. I mean, the Ravens are having a television. Yeah, they're very surprising. But the Cowboys, you lose an elite quarterback and a top-tier wide receiver. What can you expect? All right, quick question for the day, fantasy-wise, guys. Who would you rather have rest of season? Jimmy Graham or Jordan Reed? Ooh.

Rule 86. Rule 86. A fantasy football. I'm going to stick with Jordan Reed. So the argument for Jimmy Graham might be... He's not going to get injured as much or as often, but the reality is if Jordan Reed gets injured, he's just as likely, in my opinion, to get injured in the week as he is on Sunday. And so I feel like...

When he's playing, you know he's going to put up points. He's going to be productive. He's not going to give you the every other game, bad game you're going to get from Jimmy Graham, which means you play him and you succeed. And then when he gets injured, you find another option, which could be just as good as some of Jimmy Graham's down weeks. Yeah. Jordan Reed is just too good. Target-wise. I feel like Jordan Reed's life is like the movie Final Destination. Have you guys seen that?

Yeah, I remember it. Where it's just death is always out to get him. Injury is always out to get Jordan Reed, no matter what he does. Even if he was living in a bubble. There are certain players who are in that category. Stay safe, Jordan Reed. We love you. All right. We want to take a minute for a moment from our sponsors like we do on the show.

I like it.

With the news that Pierre Thomas was Wade. No, this is an illegitimate question. Shane Dron? Yeah. Sean Dron. Man, that name is not easy. We need a confirmation on that guy's name. Sean. It is. Dron. Dron. Dron. Sean Dron. I believe it's. Sean Dron. I believe it's Sean Dron. It should be Sean Dron, though. And I think their parents need to. Well, he's a grown up now. So he should be able to. Shend in the Dron.

Oh, no. No. Yes. We are not associated with drones. With drones? Right. So it's so dangerous. Do we pick him up? It seems like he would be locked and loaded as the running back with Carlos Hyde Out. Yeah, he should have been on our waiver show. Well, I just, because Peter Thomas, when we had done the show, Thomas had not been waived yet. Yeah, but drawn still had a good week. Right. So that was just stupid.
