After the draft, our goal is to have the Foot Clan win the most championships in leagues out there. And we just know that doesn't happen at the draft that happens in the season. So keep listening. Don't go crazy about, you know, oh, I messed up in the draft or I won it at the draft. And so we're helping you guys with the knowledge. Please help us.

38:08 ↗

Go by going to podsurvey.com slash footballers. Fill that survey out. It helps us get good sponsors so we can keep the show. We can keep the lights on. Well, and the truth is, we're going five days a week now. Wait, what? You're putting that on date? Yeah, I mean, one week of four, we broke into the season. We're going five a week. It's already locked in. The Foot Clan wants it? It's already done. I'm going to three. Monday. Two.

38:32 ↗

Well, you only show up for two or three of them anyway. Hey, so I want to physically change it. All right. Speaking of the Foot Clan, let's take some time today to answer listener questions. We get a lot of them. Let's answer them on the show and see if we can help some people out. Mailbag. All right. If you have a question, you can go to our website, the Fantasy Footballers.com. Click the submit a question button. It appears in front of our eyes. Why are you the K-Jazz voice now?

39:03 ↗

Go to the fantasy footballers.com. It's the sitting back in the chair versus sitting up in the chair. When I sit back, the voice changes. You can also call. So what you're at 302, 464. Romantic music behind that. TFFB. When you get heated, we just say you should probably lean back right now. Exactly. Just sit back. Sit back in your chair. Talk about Owen Daniels with some sense. All right. Steve from behind enemy lines.

39:31 ↗

You remember that movie? I was just going to say Owen Daniels action movie? Owen Daniels? What did I say? Owen Wilson. Too many football guys. Oh, that's awesome. I don't want to see Owen Daniels. No, here's something that people don't know. Owen Daniels was a cameo.

39:45 ↗

in that movie. Oh, right. Go watch the tape. Just go watch it real carefully. He's really there. All right. Last year, Jerry, enemy lines movies are spiking right now. Yeah, Steve has a question about McKinnon and Peterson, and he makes kind of a good point. Last year, Derek McKinnon was drafted before Peterson went MIA, before everything went down. So does this mean that they had plans for him in a Shane-Varine, Geo-Bernard type of role?

40:08 ↗

How much does that take away from Peterson's value in a running back, receiving friendly, Norv Turner offense? Takes nothing away because he wasn't drafted to be a gadget guy. He was drafted to be a handcuff. He's drafted in case AP goes down. He's a valuable replacement. And I got no problem doing that again this year. I mean, if you did it last year, you can do it this year. I don't think he's one of those half to own handcuffs because I do think if AP goes down, we saw what happens last year. They're going to more commit it.

40:35 ↗

Yeah, you have to look out for Ozia to screwing people over with his three touchdown games. The goal line games. Oh, man, he is the worst slash best fantasy player. He's the Larry Donnell of the running back position. Yeah, you've got to get it once and you're going to think he's the best. But that's for fantasy, those guys get headlines then for the rest of the year. When you put up a three touchdown game. All right, Josh from Richmond, Virginia wants to know. He said with Kelvin Benjamin out for the year.

41:02 ↗

And Devin Funches being inexperienced, would Cam Newton's quarterback one value be gone? So what do you guys think? Jason's kind of shaking his head with like a frowny face. No, I did move. I moved him down one spot in my rankings, but he's still going to be a quarterback one. What makes Cam Newton valuable? His legs, they're so beautiful and toned.

41:24 ↗

but he's going to be able to work them out now all the more when no wide receiver is open and he's going to run the ball. I hear he uses near.

41:32 ↗

Ooh. He goes hairless to make those muscles. Is this a new advertisement? Did we get Nair? No, we do not have Nair. We would not take Nair. We are handsome fancy. And you'd take Nair and handsome fancy? We wouldn't take Nair. You want to know why? I don't know that the Foot Clan knows us. But we're pretty selective with our advertisers. We actually want to make sure we use them and have good products. I'll tell you right now. Nair wouldn't take us after this discussion. That's true. They won't have for me. It's going to be the fantasy hitman.com Nair special. What? You taking the beard off? No.

41:59 ↗

You don't nearing your legs? Have you ever put nair on your face? I've never put there anywhere. What a stupid question, Mike. Have you ever put there on your, I've never owned nair? Okay, well, you guys need to nair your arms sometimes, see what happens. Wait, so you have used nair? Yeah, because you get slippery like a seal. All right, all right, let's move this along. Here's the deal. You guys don't have tattoos on your arms. This is absolutely true. When you have tattoos on your arms, you want them to pop.

42:28 ↗

You got to take that hair off. That's a trade secret. Wait, wait for our Nair affiliate link before you go by your Nair listeners. You know, this seems like a good time to go to a voicemail question, wouldn't you agree? Yeah. I'm in a 10-team-standard League, and I'm wondering who I should keep. I got either O'Dell Beckham Jr., Mike Evans, or CJ Anderson, all on the 10th round. Thanks. Vernaz. Keep all three, and they're going to say, no, I can only keep one. You can be like, no, I can keep three. You can't get over slippery by it like a seal.

43:00 ↗

Because that's just, that's an attribute I want as a man to be slippery like a seal. All right, ODB, Mike Evans or CJ Anderson with the 10th round pick. I think what we're all staring down here is CJ or ODB in the 10th. For me, it's C.J. Anderson. Me too. If it's a keep forever, like let's say you get to keep on, keep on. What? Through his retirement. No, you know what I mean. Like, because we all love Anderson this year. We don't know about next year where Beckham can be an all-star.

43:28 ↗

for his career. It is a fair point. And if you have him in a 10th round for his career, I'd lean back him. There you go. All right. Let's do another voicemail. What's up, guys? Kyle. So in a PPR league, I'm looking at finding a late round wide receiver to kind of finish out my group, somebody with some high upside. Somebody I'm looking at rounds 12 and 13. So...

43:55 ↗

Which of these wide receivers would you want most on a PPR league team? Brian Quick, Marcus Wheaton, Eddie Royal, or Stevie Johnson? Which of those four would you guys take? Thanks. I'd go Royale with cheese. I'm with you, and I was going to say we should maybe order those guys for people just so they kind of see where we have them. It's Eddie Royal for me, and then it is actually Stevie Johnson, Brian Quick, and Marcus Wheaton. I go Royal Wheaton, Stevie, Quick. Okay.

44:26 ↗

Stevie. Who's the other tip? Winning quick. Whatever. Royal Stevie. That's the only guys I'm taking. So ring the bell for Royal then. You all agree on that, right? And that's what, when I say ringing the bell, you normally have to hit the bell. The bell has not been placed. Wait, where's the bell? Fair enough. All right, there we go. No one could hear it. Darrell from Canada says, Darrell from Canada says he has Des Demerius and Hilton in a three-receiver scoring league. And he has a trade question. Should he trade?

44:54 ↗

Keep in mind, that's who he has. Des de Marius and Hilton. Hilton and Morris for Cooper and Ingram. Read that again? Hilton and Morris. Hilton and Morris for Cooper, Amari Cooper, and Mark Ingram. And I read that and I could argue both ways. I'll argue the no side. I think that's probably where I go.

45:16 ↗

I would say don't do it. There's not enough benefit here for you. Yeah, I like Cooper. He's all right, but you know what you have in Hilton, and he's great. And maybe Ingram will be better than Morris. I think I've got him ahead of Morris, but maybe Morris is ahead of Ingram. I'm very confident T.Y. Hilton will beat Cooper this year, even though I like Cooper. And so I always want the best guy in a trade. When I see this, I say, meh. Like, why make the trade? Yeah.

45:42 ↗

Why do it? Yeah, I can see that. But his perspective is he thinks he will strengthen his running back core. I like the idea. That's the logic behind it. The logic of trading T.Y. Hilton here, who's your third best wide receiver on a team, which is great, for an improved running back, I love that. But I just don't, I don't feel like Mark Ingram is a guaranteed improvement over Alfred Morris worth giving up T.Y. Hill. Because he has Lamar Miller and Jay Stu, I don't know if we mentioned that part. He has Miller and Stewart, I don't need Ingram. I'm fine with Morris, so I'll keep T.Y. Hilton.

46:11 ↗

Yep, all right, so we all agree on that one. All right, reminder, everybody, check out FantasyDraftWizard.com for all your mock draft needs. We've got five shows for you next week. Five. Uno dos, tres, Cinco, four, six. No, I don't know Spanish. Mike, how, my goodness, how good did I get? Here's, here's, here's the best part of this. I thought that my near comment will be the worst part of the show. Nope. Thank you.

46:41 ↗
