I feel like we’re best friends even though we’ve never met. I love this show.

[bilboscroggins]

LOL my son knows nothing about football at all but he listens to the show on the way home from school with me. Today he matched you guys word for word on the o'reilly's song. Thanks for the shows guys.

[tonybass]

This is truly the greatest fantasy show there is ANYWHERE! The advice and analysis given here is by far better then anywhere else you can listen. This station has become a part of my everyday routine. Thanks guys.

Also, I might as well get an opinion here. Who do I start in my WR2 and RB2?

WR2- Keenan Allen, Amari Cooper, Pierre Garçon or Devin Funchess

RB2- Christian McCaffrey or Doug Martin

[fernandochavez]

Jason is giving me fantasy advice AND relationship advice now that's more bloom for my subscription!!

[lufo]

I LOVE the hype check! Please do it again when the fantasy season is almost over, and continue it till next year!

[daderp]

Should I prioritize taking away defenses from my opponent or getting myself a better QB

[kevindundon]

I traded kelvin Benjamin and Lamar miller for Julio Jones, did I get a good deal

[dsauce]

The Sponsors section ends at 25:14, at which point they start talking about fantasy football again. :-) Great show!

[DrexPlays]

So need some TE Help
Currently have Zach Miller. Worth dropping him for George Kittle or Hunter Henry?
of course to me Hunter Henry is the best of the 3 (IMO) But I have Keenan Allen AND Melvin on my roster and don't know if it's smart to commit THAT MUCH into 1 offense (SD)

[thedarkknight]

To make your “Keep, Trade, Cut” segment better I would recommend not allowing yourselves the cop outs of “I’d hold him on my bench” or “I’d try to trade him.” For keep, it should be ARE YOU WILLING TO START HIM FOR THE NEXT COUPLE WEEKS? And for trade, come up with 2 or 3 specific players you can trade for without being insulting but without trading for crap. I mean, who’s gonna trade for Crowder and Cohen?
I’m just finding you guys barely cut players that can pretty easily be cut. And when there are big names out there, you just say “Oh trade him if you can...” Give suggestions for who. Just a tip from a guy who watches every one of your fantastic shows. Keep up the good work!

[connorcalder]

I have Mixon against pittsburgh and Gordon against Denver which one do I play in standard (I lean Gordon but that denver d has been great against the run) I can only pick one because my RB1 is lev bell

[RuhaArmata]

Traded Demarco Murray for Michael Thomas. Thoughts?

[alvinyates]

I love when my man in the middle says pumpkin spice!!! Lol!

[cdog]

Sean mcvay made that juicy fantasy offense in washington.

[mttwlls]

Do I drop Crowell for Smallwood, who has most upside rest of season?
RB: fournette, mccoy, buck allen, Crowell, McFadden, Darkwa
WR: Crabtree, Diggs, Jaron Brown, Paul Richardson

[WatermelonWizard]

BREAKING: Luck is experiencing natural soreness in throwing shoulder and isn't going to practice this week. IMO he'll be playing soonest week 8 vs. CIN, at latest week 10 vs. PIT. i watched the HC talk about it and its nothing to be concerned about. i love luck.

[colinregan]

Is it time to cut Luck? He just had another setback and I already have Dak and Kirk. Let me know
