Thank you Daniel Dopp, Field Yates, and Mike Clay

The first time I saw Field wearing a Rhoback shirt, I thought the logo was a piece of tangled lint/string 😆

[CreeperDude]

I’m debating starting Caleb Williams over Purdy this week if Deebo doesn’t go, because I’m not sure how Purdy’s gonna do with nobody to throw to

[patrickmeegan]

Bo Nix vs Carolina or CJ Stroud vs Indy ?

[Blazntrax]

I had to drop CJ Stroud to pick up Caleb Williams

[HighAvenger]

Feels weird they didn’t mention dak or the cowboys all week! I need to choose between Dak or Darnold! I’m thinking Darnold vs Rams.

Kirby Joseph on the lions took out both Higbee and Hockenson in the same way. Stafford called him out after it happened

[TazmanianTyyy]

I felt terrible but I had to drop LePorta. I grabbed Kmet to double up with Williams.

[schauman]

Baker or Tua in week 8 ?Also stroud or Tua? Thanks

[jalenhudson]

Lmao Daniel said he would take diontae Johnson over tyreek hill 😂😂😂😂

[fLAWed_Rook]

Should I try and make a trade? I'm 7-0 considering shopping Nabers (just lost Godwin for the year, Collins on IR, Amari Cooper, Jauan Jennings, Diontae Johnson are my other WRs). Who should I target in a 1 for 1 or a package deal?

[kamoflawedhawg]

I see why I’m not a NFL head coach 😅 because AR5 would still be on the bench until Flacco started fuqn up 😮‍💨

[prestonc]

Start tutu atwell or mostert as my flex I have kyren playing tonight as well?

[daFranChzE]

Mike got Goff qb21 Williams qb22 who tf bro got above these guys???

[MiLeHigh_KeV]

traded Kupp for Bijan but trade doesn't go through until tomorrow, so is the trade postponed? Do the players swap tomorrow in our lineups if we both have them in the flex? Or do I get both Kupp and Bijan this week? Anyone know? This is a first for me

[stephenpeters]

Boy were y’all wrong about puka glad I threw him in there

[cpaget]

Candidly.. we all hate Mike clay 😆 #Goff

[MaxHollowayBaddestMFer]

I can't trust CJ Stroud anymore only 5 freaking points last week this year he's sucking. I'm going with Russell Wilson vs Giants this week he's got a good matchup home on MNF..

[Thinkingabout]

Would you bench Kyren Williams for Josh Jacob’s this week?

[kisan]

Pls upgrade from 720p man. I get it's mostly an audio podcast but come it's almost 2025 and still 720p?!? Your tech department should be ashamed 😢.
