It is Thursday, August 29th. What's up and welcome to Fantasy Football today. And I am in a great mood. Dave Richard Heath Cummings, two reasons. Do you know the two reasons why I'm in a great mood today?

1:08.5

Probably me and Heath were really swell guys to talk to regular racists. Okay, four reasons. That's sorry. Ed, guess we're one week away from real football. Yes, that's right.

1:17.5

And you love your podcast league team from last night. I honestly did not think you were going to get both of them right. I like my podcast league team, but I got a day CBS gave me an A. I printed it out. I put it on the fridge. I'm very excited.

1:31.5

Did you get my grade last night? No. Oh, okay. What'd you get? I gave you an S. Oh, you're great for me. Yes, S for sucks. I did get that. But also Dave Richard got an A plus.

1:45.5

And yes, I did. Yeah. I know. I did. Yeah. Well, you took sake one Barclay first overall tough pick right there, Dave. Are to mess that up. Yeah. So did he though? Did he? Well, I did it for him. But I thought, you know, that's that's what the commissioners commissioners do. In fact, there was a moment Dave misses first three picks. And he had picks 28 and 29. And both Kittle and Earths were on the board. And I thought about giving them both because you know how much he loves tight ads. But tied it up. That would have been the

2:15.5

appropriate punishment. Yeah, I think they were the top two players on his board, but I gave him just one of them. Okay. So we'll talk a little bit about that. League of We Have Time. But today we're going to update you on sleepers breakouts and busts. And we're going to read your emails at fantasy football at CBS.com. We do have a special guest coming on today show a musical performance. If you will later on the regulators are coming on fantasy football today. Oh, yeah. All right. Let's start though with six quick questions. Which player?

2:45.5

Or players? Are you willing to reach for? I saw this question in advance of the show. And I thought about it. And I have a unique answer. The bears DST. Whoa. And I know a lot of people are going to take DSTs. You think about taking them with your last pick or second, the last pick. But Adam, we've talked about this. There comes a point usually in round 12 where you look at what's left. And you make a noise that he might make, which sounds like. And you go. I don't know.

3:15.5

Yeah. I don't even know if it's that noise. It's more of the at than the side. And I think that's when you look toward DST. And I don't mind being the first one to take a DST. And if it's my fourth to last pick, I'll do it. The problem is that's reaching for them in our draft. But everybody else's draft. They have around 80 and that's why they were actually in my bust call on this week. Just like Jacksonville was last year. I'm not like if you're talking round 12 when a 14 round draft. What? Like 50.

3:45.5

15 round draft fine. Whatever. I'm not going to question that. The odds are the bears are going to regress statistically. They're not going to score the same number of fantasy points or touchdowns. And I would take the field over them. I still have them as much as you would still have them as I 31. Well, if they're going into eighth round, you shouldn't be able to say that. I agree. Number one, I agree with that. But you know, I guess I'm just not reaching for anybody then.

4:10.3

Dave is reaching for no one. He's taking everyone at the appropriate value. My answer is was the hunter Henry, I guess, is who it usually is. But the last of the second tier of Titan.

4:24.9

Okay, I often they're not the top player available on my board. There may be a round away from being the top player. But if I'm on the clock.

4:33.0

And OJ Howard and Evan Ingram are both gone and I look at I say man, I could take kind of Henry here or I could be dealing with just

4:42.5

streaming tight end. I'm just going to take Henry and that you know what I'm going to change my answer to a real answer.

4:48.4

And it's George Kettle, what's his ADP? It's round three. And I'm taking him round two with a smile. Right. And I think that that would classify as a reach at him. So I feel the same way about Kettle, the way that he feels about double H.

5:00.9

Last night, I realized how much I'm willing to reach for a chief's running backs to chief's running backs. I was up with the in the middle of the second round of a 14 team league. So it was it was around like 21 overall, something like that. And I was going to take

5:16.0

Damian Williams over Mike Evans in a 12 team league. I'd take Mike Evans over Damian Williams in a 14 team league where I fear the drop off and running back a little bit more. I was willing to reach a little bit.

5:26.0

We don't usually see him going around 20th overall Damian Williams, but I was willing to do it. And then later in the draft. I don't necessarily think I reached, but I took Darwin Thompson. So I am willing to reach a little bit to get a piece of that backfield. Which player do you see yourself just not drafting?

5:40.8

Melvin Gordon.
