So excited to have you with us, the Fantasy Footballers Podcast. That's the name. Andy Mike and Jason. It's a Wednesday show, Wednesday, October 21st, at the FFBallers on Twitter.

Like I said, I'm excited to have our fine listeners join us on this fine episode. We've got some mailbag on the show today. We've got the Thursday night preview. We have news to talk about. We got Buy Sell. Mike's wearing a hat. That is... Yeah. I'm wearing a hat, too. Jason, where's your hat? Oh, man, I'm so embarrassed. I'm hatless right now.

We are not far from a naked head over here. Yeah, that's what they call him. Soon. Soon? Oh. It's not growing in thicker, that's for sure. Is that worse than being called bald? I don't think so. Naked head? Oh, now that I hear it. Yeah, probably. There's nothing wrong than naked head. Oh, right. Judge knows. That's fair. Now, do you, like, do you imagine your head is just being real, like,

I'm trying to cut Mike off before he gets anywhere weird with that. I was going to talk about something. We have a giveaway right now at footclang giveaway.com if you want to enter. You can. It's free to enter when a signed Kenny G. Jersey should be pretty sweet. Oh, I was going to mention we have a Halloween episode coming up, which is exciting. And we've had, we've gone to town over the years. I mean, we've had the Michael Keaton.

Halloween episode where we were, what, Beetlejuice, Batman, and multiplicity? That's correct. And we, what was last year? Last year we went player nicknames. We had the Wallerous. We had Chris Goblin and what was the third? You were the, wait, we had the Goblin. I was the Wallerous. Oh, Sammy Walk is the Lizard King. Yeah, I was a lizard king. The year before Jason was Jeff Fisher.

Oh, yeah. So we've got some good stuff in store for you this year. That will be, is that next Friday's episode? That is correct. Because Halloween is on a Saturday. It is with a spooky blue moon. I feel like it should always, I think we've said this before. It should always be on a Saturday. Or like Thanksgiving, the last Saturday of October. Friday or Saturday. Because my kids, you know, you want them to be able to stay up, get the vomiting done with by about midnight from the candy. It's silly. It's like, it's Monday this year.

Yeah. Go out and stay up to 11 o'clock, kids. It's dumb. What are you doing? We can get this change, Mike. This is a priority. We do have, we have that influence. Yes, yes. Because we wear hats. Well, two thirds of us wear hats. Quick question of the day before we get into buy sales. Should you be able to drop bench players that have already played? So this is something that different platforms do differently. Yes, they do.

This has been around forever. But it seems like this year more than most, I've been approached people on both sides. Of the opinion of saying, like, I've had people just furious. Furious, they slide my DMs. They're like, Mike. This so-and-so dropped a player off their bench, and their game was already over. They played on Thursday night, and they dropped this player.

And I am furious about it. Yeah. And then I had a conversation with one of our programmers, Schneider. And he was like, what do you think like ethically about this? That it, I have, I can do this. My platform allows me to do it. And he was, he felt unsure should he be able to, or should he take advantage of this? I said, 100%. If it's on your platform, that means everybody can do it. This is.

Part of the game. If it's up to me, it would be off. If a player plays on Thursday, they're locked until the waiver period. But if your platform allows it, that means that everybody else can take advantage of this. And you should be taking advantage of this. If you have someone like throw it, throw the backup running back for Thursday on your bench. And if the starter makes it through the game, no problems.

Just cut that guy and add somebody else for the weekend. This is why we talk about the holistic approach of fantasy football. It's not just I drafted all the best players. No, know your league, know how people play, and know the rules and the scoring. If the rules say you can drop a player, that's what the rules say. And to my knowledge, all Yahoo League allow that. So.

You should always, if you have the opportunity to drop someone heading in, you know, someone that stunk and he was a flyer and he just didn't work out. Even going into Sunday night football, Monday night football, if you've got someone you know you're going to drop coming up, you might as well just kick him to the dirt now and pick up a backup running back and see. Kick him to the dirt. You know, and see if you get lucky. For the record, ESPN is the opposite. ESPN, by default, locks players.

which means know your league settings and don't get stuck with a situation like I did last week where it just slipped my mind that Gronkowski, who was on my bench, played on Thursday, and I had planned to drop him before Sunday because I didn't need him, and he ended up locked on my roster, had a nice game now he's trade bait. But know your league. Don't get mad because you're getting out hustled. Mike's point, though, is...

It's fair for everybody. If the rule is the rule, everybody can do it. So you're not getting one over just because you know the rules. When you said someone hit you up in your DMs upset that this guy dropped someone after play, my initial question is, is he the commissioner and is this the reason he was able to do it? Or is that just something you can do? Yeah, yeah. All right, let's buy sell. Buy or sell presented by pristine auction.

All right, Brooks. I didn't get a chance to look at the results for Week 6 by sell. How did it turn out? We probably don't need to look. Pretty well for you. All right. It's rare when we have a sweep, so I'm going to, I'm going to savor it.

All right. I swept. You guys did not. Now, in fairness, the only reason that you really swept is because you pushed the line on Terry McLaurin. We were all kind of against him. And then you're like, well, what have? I forgot about that. That is a great point that you bring up here, that it was manipulated by the person who won. Yeah. Yeah. Is it the commission that did it? It's a problem. Is this a good segment if we all agree? I mean, come on. I was doing the fabulous hosting job slash winning.

All right. Well, let's see what we can do in week seven. We had Jonathan Taylor, Terry McLaurian, Kirk Cousins last week. Let's buy itself for week. Devin Singletary facing the Jets. Is he a top 20 running back this week? Really didn't see much from Zach Moss last week or Singletary. He was the wide receiver running back 19 in week three, the running back 14 and week four.

Buy, sell. I mean, the Jets, that's a juicy matchup, but Singletary is tough to predict. The matchup is the only reason you would possibly buy this, that Singletary is able to get enough work. The bills try and project this game script. They trounce the Jets, and then they give it to Singletary. But the problem with that projection is that could easily just turn into Zach Moss running out the game at the end. And this is an easy sell.

for me. That's exactly where I was going, Mike. I'm going to sell it. I think that if they trounce them, and it doesn't come with a Devon Singletary swing pass, lucky touchdown. He's not in that top 20. Zach Moss will run that ball at the end of the game. Now, what if we move the line to 25? Look, I'm selling completely. Singletary has been someone you cannot rely on the touchdowns aren't usually there for him. And now that Zach Moss is back. There's,

There's no way I'm taking him as a top 20 back. Big Ben at Tennessee, a 250 passing yard game. He's only done it once this season. But Tennessee, they're cruising. This is a battle of undefeated AFC teams. Titans allowing 285 passing yards per game. That's the average. Big Ben, you know, this is a defensive football team. This is a team that can run the ball with James Connor. Not a lot has been asked of Big Ben. Even this last week.

where there were high expectations, it was like 22 completions, which Kyler Murray is like, hold my beer. But I don't know, 250 passing yards against the Titans. That's a good line, Brooks, and I'm going to sell it. I'm buying, man. I'm buying. I think that Tennessee can actually keep up with the Pittsburgh Steelers. So they...

They don't want to ask it have been right now, but they will have to against the Titans. Yeah, you didn't need to against the New York Giants, against the Bill O'Brien, Houston Texans, against the Eagles. And last week when they demolished the Browns, those are the games where Big Ben has failed. They haven't needed him to throw the ball, and they don't want him to have to. But I do think the Titans keep up even against this great Steelers defense. And if that's the case, Big Ben can get it done. Over $250 on by him. All right, the last one here. DJ Moore takes on the Saints.

Buy yourself 75 receiving yarns. He's hit that mark three out of six times this year. The Saints allowed only two. He has? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, man. It does not feel like it. Actually, it does not feel that way at all. I'm going to vet that. I'm going to vet that. Brooks has been known to lie. But he's not the last. So 93 and 120. Yeah. He had 11 targets last week. No Curtis Samuel is the defining factor here to me with DJ Moore.

the target volume, the reliability there, against the Saints. Is Curtis Samuel going to play? I don't know the answer to that. I would like to push my Bicel decision until I can find that out. Until the inactives on Sunday? I'm going to, oh, he's done it two weeks in a row. Yeah.

93 yards in both weeks. I'm going to decide after you, too, go. I will step in and buy. I think that the secondary of the Saints is, you know, really, really hurts still. And you have, you know, the same argument we made with Big Ben. When you've got an offense that can keep up and cause Carolina to throw the ball more, DJ Moore is talented. I think the matchup is good. I will buy 75.

He should have had a lot more than that last week. If you watched the game, DJ Moore had multiple drops. Yes, he did. Yeah, 11 targets, only five receptions. Mike, what are you doing? I'm going to buy it. Okay. Everything Jason laid out, I'm in. I think he can hit 75. Oh, wow. He's tied for the league lead in drops. Didn't even realize that. I will, I'm going to sell it. I'm going to go sell, sell, sell. Last week, I defeated you both, and this week I'm going to do it again.

So I'm going to sell it. I think it'll be close. Oh, what me and Jason are just going to tie? Gross. Well, that means we'll both win. Oh, nice. All right. That was by herself from pristine auction, pristine auction. Pristine auction.com. Use the registration code ballers when you sign up and get some sweet sports memorabilia. Let's talk news. News and notes from around the league. There's not a ton. Mark Ingram diagnosed with a mid to high ankle sprain, but that is not considered severe.
