 What's up everyone welcome into the front yard fantasy hour presented by FanDuel I'm your host Simon joined as always by the full spread of co-host today. Jim and Jay Joey, right and John Lugroff. Hello What's up boys? What up full spread? I like the way that you phrase that Simon Hmm guys and the reason we got that full spread is because no one wanted to sit out with our guests today We have one of our great friends and great analysts joining the show today Jeff bell aka for whom Jay bell tolls on Twitter he's the dynasty lead over at football guys and co-hosts of their college football show on Wednesday nights at 9 p.m And the creator the man over at devi royale. Jeff. Thank you so much for joining us today my friend. Jeff No, thank you so much for having me. No, you know, you guys are great friends and all of you I treasure the relationships with you guys and so when you guys reach out and say you want to come on our show Of course, I want to come on the show So it's been a minute, but I'm thrilled to be back and and thank you so much for having me And you're at the end of the season now and I think we're all kind of thankful to be at that point of the year But um, we've made it and if you're listening, thank you so much out there Absolutely True truly. Thank you so much for hanging out with us all year and thank you for tuning in today We brought Jeff here to play our og game poll perception before we get into that though We got some people in the chat ready to play Dave kluge over here saying i'm having serious fomo not being on this show. What's up, Dave? Welcome in and uh, we got my team, Dave We got born to laugh in here born to laugh has a question for us to start the show off saying unfortunately It's the best I have so start to that is not a good way to start a question in championship week I understand Desmond ridder Joshua dobs and jared stidham. So with dobs We just got the news that he is going to be the starter for the titans tonight jeff If you have to start two of these quarterbacks, which two are you starting? Probably huntley I don't I mean if I have to start two of these quarterbacks. I'm starting huntley and ridder I don't consider dobs or jared stidman at all. I think they they both have We haven't seen success out of any of either of them We don't know what to expect coming in but both of them have very difficult defensive matchups too So I would play huntley and ridder But god bless and good luck A minefield this week. I gotta say I did my rankings earlier today and I had like brock purdy at quarterback 15 I was like, here we are. We're brock purdy quarterback 15. Once you get past there. It's real dicey Brock purdy not just startable, but a good start in a lot of formats. That's that's wild Joey, are you agreeing with jeff here? Would it be time of huntley and desmond ridder of the two quarterbacks? Yeah, I do agree it'd be huntley and ridder I do have a question for born to laugh if this is a two quarterback league. Yeah huntley and ridder Although if it's a super flex league and you can substitute someone in for ridder I might do that if you've got a better option than like a running back or a Or a wide receiver. Maybe even a tight end like if you've got tyler higby and dallas goddard I would play tyler higby over desmond ridder for instance That's gross, but I don't What a gross Yeah, that's a really good point Caden in here. What's up caden? Welcome. Thanks for joining us and caden had a question for us once I know should I hesitate to start two cowboys players tonight knowing they probably won't play an entire game? They're 12 and a half point favorites. The titans don't need to win this game Um, it doesn't affect their play-offs standings and a lot of their players are not playing tonight So I understand where this narrative is coming from Um wanting to know if they should start cd and schultz the two cowboy players or cd and tyler conklin instead Jl, what would you be doing here? Yeah, I'm so I'm firing both of these cowboys up. I'm not I'm not too worried. It's totally reasonable concern Uh, I expect the cowboys to mainly play all their players unless they get up really big and then I can see them benching some players But I'm not going to try and be cute and predict that Jeff, what about you? Are you starting the two cowboys too? Are you pivoting to conklin to avoid starting two cowboys? No, I think jail's right. I think this is kind of big braining overthinking things a little bit. I always kind of Um, and when somebody's worried about team scoring too many points and getting up by too much Like that that's never a red flag for me to start a player on that team Absolutely, we got albert in here saying what's up. Hello, albert. Welcome and glad to have you here and dj. What's up dj? Welcome in We'll hit guys if you have fantasy football questions reminder We're going to be answering them throughout the show today in between rounds of our game of pole perception But a reminder right after this myself, joey and our friend jake parry are going to be live doing nothing But answering your questions for famous football office hours over on our youtube channel at front yard fantasy So make sure to come hang out with us then that starts at 6 0 5 p.m. Eastern time right after the end of this show Let's say one more of these questions in here kaden wanted to know richie james mike evans or isiah hajans Gross that you're even considering those two players next to mike evans, but I get it He's been disappointing j which way would you be rolling here? He's still pushing out mike evans or you pivoting to one of these two One of these two players. This is really really tough and that's sad. That's tough Between the two giants. I like hajans a little better. He's got some usage in the red zone I think he has three touchdowns in the last four games I'm still starting mike evans. Um He basically with hajans, you know, the the ceiling is capped. You're hoping for a touchdown and you know 40 catches or excuse me 40 catches before catches for 40 issue or something along those lines Mike evans as we saw even though it was called back by a holding call I mean he could make your day in one play and you know, he can get that long touchdown Um, the bucks are playing for their lives. So it's if they're gonna win. It's gonna have to go through mike evans There's I just I couldn't sit mike evans for either of these two guys I should be scratch raised make your play one day. There you go Day in one play There you are you are you also starting mike evans here or are you rolling the other way? I would uh, I think isiah hajans is going to out squirm if it's a full ppr format But I this is one of those that if mike evans goes off for 40 points and you lose your fantasy championship because you started Isiah hajans instead of him you just couldn't live with yourself And I think that that's at the end of the day as much as you might think that maybe hajans gets him by a little bit It's just not one of those things that you can again live with yourself if you lose a championship because of that move Yeah, both hajans and james are going up against the colts secondary, which hasn't been terrible has not been terrible Mike evans is carolina panthers, which they have been pretty terrible. So Come on mike evans, please for the love of god finish the season strong do it for me I love some mike evans the only good news about mike evans disappointing is maybe his draft value will be fully suppressed next year And I don't believe he's lost it. I don't think he's lost the talent I think this has been a bad buck in your offense and maybe if they can get it together I'll be able to draft mike evans at a discount next season Guys, like I mentioned, we brought jeff here today to play poll perception before we get into that though A couple reminders first and foremost If you're not already following our friend jeff fix it right now. He's on twitter at for whom j bell tools It's right there below his handsome face and in the description of this video on youtube You can click it right there and uh go follow him hit that follow button and then head on back over here And make sure you like this video if you enjoy what we do here and subscribe to fan duel on youtube You can check them out on tiktok instagram twitter facebook They're at fan duel across all of these platforms And there's a whole team of content creators almost as good looking and charming as we are helping you guys win your fantasy championships A little bit more humble than we are though. I think yeah, probably at least a little bit more humble Guys we have some more people in here eddie's in here saying happy holidays. What's up? And damien here says look at all the pretty faces SSE 12 finalists dame overboard go take a damn dame for the fy fan 30 people left and dame overboard. It's time to bring back the dame overlord name I think right with her being one of only 30 people left standing in scott fishbowl mr. Scampers in here Hey everybody. What's up mr. Scampers? And jam juice. What's up fellas? What's up juice? Welcome in glad to have you here Because like I mentioned today, we are going to be playing our game poll perception and mark I see your question. Don't worry. We are going to get into it right after I explain the rules of this game We're going to try to answer each and every question Throughout the show today But the game poll perception Today is the game that tests our contestants Understanding and knowledge of the public perception of fantasy football players around the nfl How it's going to work is I'm going to propose a poll to one of our contestants jail I may ask you what percentage of people preferred side a in this poll you're going to give me a percentage 32 The other contestants are then going to be responsible for guessing whether the actual percentage is over or under The line that you set the closer you are to the actual number the more points you're going to get a max of 10 If you are exactly right one if you're 15 away and then nothing outside of that 15 range The other contestants you guys will get two points if you correctly pick the over under on the line the jail set We'll alternate who's going first through two full rounds of this and then we will go into our Last round where there is no more over under in that round Everyone's going to be guessing a number whoever's the closest gets five points in the contestant with the most points At the end of that round is our poll perception champion. There's one more twist in today's game We got four contestants We are playing in teams and the teams were randomly decided before the show started Jeff and joey are going to be on a team versus j and jl today So let me go ahead and get these rearrange here I'll sit here in the middle jeff and joey you guys are team a joey or j and jl you guys are team It's one of every team names the random drawing me begging jeff. Please pick me. Please pick me The not so random we're j l j a y l that's our team name That's awful jeff. What a terrible. I did not vote on that I didn't ask joey. I'm not creative at all. I couldn't name Should we be team team to noctua? Or yes, okay team to noctua. Is that how you say it? Is that how you say it? Close enough whatever it is. I think it's too much. I have zero clue what you guys are talking about I don't know that's how I was learned it when I was a kid It's under mexico. It's been buried under mexico city for like thousands of years I think but it's an early civilization that was either the Aztecs or the miams I believe but I saw pieces of it It's it's great when you're in mexico city just the middle of downtown There's ruins that are just like excavated like there's skyscrapers Um like cathedrals from the european colonization agent then right next door There's just like a hole with literal ruins that you wait in line for 30 minutes to walk It's a lot like san Antonio just in the middle of it. Yeah except the album of sucks The other missions are great though in san Antonio. The other missions are fantastic And they're not across the street from a Ripley's believe it or not museum Like the alamo is what's wrong with the Ripley's believe it or not? Those are great. You know, you lose some of the stories out here Geez Ripley you lose some of the story. No, we're trying to make Ripley's We're trying to have the longest draft in in fantasy football histories We need to start that here this week. You need to start the weekend joey I need to follow up on my email to Ripley's actually Or no get us book a world record. That's always I emailed Because we had some more questions in here that I wanted to hit before we started our game Mark in here wanted to know juju smith shuster or michael pittman in the championship this week Jeff if you got a pick between these two players, who are you rolling with juju smith shuster I think pittman might get more volume, but if it's nick foals targets I mean, what are you looking at whereas juju? I mean juju could catch two touchdowns from homes even on limited value So we'll go juju What about you joey? Yep 100% I uh juju has a pretty good quarterback last I heard And michael pittman does not right now Jay, you agreeing with these two guys? Is it going to be a unanimous juju from all of us jlu as well? Yep You got the five-way juju mark. Hopefully that inspires some confidence to put hot in there Um grim fan in here had a question for some survivor league Two weeks left. They have two teams left jags and commanders wants to know what order they should play them in Grim if I'm you because the jags don't need to win this week And do need to win next week and there's still question marks about trevor lorenz and travis etn And the commanders play the cowboys next week, but the browns this week. I'm going commanders this week Jags next week, even though the jags have houston. Uh, what about you jail? What are you doing? I agree with you? Anybody flip flopping it the other way Sips that no The jaguars should lose to the texans this week and take away the number one pick from the texans if they're You know doug peterson if you're watching the show right now. I'm just telling you you should lose this game That's too, uh, get them works draft pick. He is watching the bears ahead of them in the draft It's division. You don't want the division rival to get the number one pick. I mean, he just leaves out games They don't get the number one pick That's hilarious guys. We're gonna get into our game jeff and joey. You guys are going to go first in this one Are you ready for your first poll? Yeah, yeah, here it is and reminder you guys work together Give me a percentage and then j and jl you guys want to guess Yeah, I'm each other Do we like talk it out talk it out live you're not going to give any information the other guys Here is your first poll What are the titans doing side a protecting willis side b? Actually prefer dobs full transparency. There was a side cms. It was show results But I've eliminated those from the percentages So this is the adjusted percentage of just the people who voted on the options And not the people who decided they couldn't make a decision and just wanted to see what other people said Jeff and joey, what percentage people chose side a protecting willis? So you waited the you took the c out and then waited side a inside b or exactly got you. Thank you Um, I mean, I think side a is winning this. Yes. I think so too Yes, I agree You want to be at like 65 70 is that what kind of where you're thinking 72 is the number of my head We could be yeah 72 sounds You want to go a little bit lower in 72 the 70? Yeah, 69 Oh, let's be okay. Nice That's 69. Sorry grandma. Just kidding. She's dead I've never heard somebody laugh after grandma's dead Still sorry Is that your final answer 69% guys? Yeah, there we go Jay and jl. Do you think the actual percentage of people that chose protecting willis is over or under their guess of 69% I think it's gonna be under I was thinking over So we've got to come out of the mess queen b Do you want to quit nah? All right, lay out the reasons. Why do you think it's over? I just There's not many people outside of idiots screaming on twitter that actually believe that They're going with a guy who has thrown like 17 total passes in their entire career Simon, uh, where was this pull from? Twitter I rest my case Fair enough So, uh, you want to go under? Let's do it. All right, if i'm wrong. I'm not gonna hear the end of it. Let's go under. Yeah, i'm right. You want This is how it works if you're wrong then jay gets a trump card, right? He gets a session arrow jay. Oh, exactly. Jump ball I'd like to point out that during jeff and i's questioning on this We agreed on everything. We were very cordial to each other and all jl. Jay did was fight. So yeah Do you expect anything else you picked your teammate? I did it. I didn't it was random. It was random I couldn't pick between all of you guys. Are you kidding? A reminder for everyone watching I see some answers in the chat But this is your first time joining us throw your guesses in the chat play along with us We'll shout you out if you are close and if you're exactly right We'll throw a little party and if you're very wrong we'll mock the hell out of you But that's just that's just how it works. It's more fun to expect the same from you 100% guys the results of this poll the percentage of people that chose protecting willis as the answer was 56% So jeff and joey you guys were within 15 percentage points. So you're going to get one point Didn't get scum to their j and jl you guys get two points for correctly picking you over under Making the score after the first question two to one team jl two Team to knock the lawn or ten notes cheat lawn or ten octets to lawn is One point I don't know how to say techno chilies Dave glugy said are you guys talking about to knock the lawn? No We're not nope And we're talking about ten notes cheat lawn Ten old chitlins, I definitely spelled it right for sure. No need to fact check me on we're gonna offend a lot of demographics Guys so jl and j you guys have the early job guys here jeff. I did want to ask you I was shocked whenever I saw the josh dobbs move here. Do you believe that it is just protecting malik willis? Or what do you think the titans are doing here? Yeah, I think that's probably part of it. I I don't know that they believe in willis is probably part of it And I don't know that they can have a functional passing offense with willis And that's probably the biggest part of it. I think they're looking at next week I'm kind of surprised that they're not playing both like I was kind of thinking that you would rotate quarterbacks in this situation Just I think that this might be not that I'm an ever an advocate for that But I think this might be an area where you might consider that just because I think willis brings you stuff off the rpo game But I think they just don't have any functional passing offense with willis and so they're giving it dobs a chance It hasn't hit 100 yards in any of his three starts this season 100 passing yards So you're 100 right there jeff jail. You agree with jeff? Yeah, I do. I I was a bit surprised by this move. We talked about it earlier in the week And I was firmly on the other end of it that they wouldn't bench believe willis because This is an opportunity for him to get more actual game experience right a game that doesn't really matter for them Uh, but I I think jeff's reasoning makes a ton of sense. We see them making the move So that that seems to be the make make the most sense to me We had some guesses in the chat for this one scampers with 44 albert agreeing with you guys with 69 dj with 45 90 with 27 and dame with 36 So you guys weren't much further off in the rest of the chat dj and scamper is about the same Distance office you guys just the other direction So nice job in round one looks like it was a little bit of a tricky poll And we're gonna move on to round two now j in jail. This is your poll. You guys ready? Yes, do it Here we go Who starts week one of the 2023 season for the 49ers side a jimmy garoppolo side b Trey lance side c brock purdy. What percentage of people said side a jimmy garoppolo in this poll What you thinking j So you break them down 33 percent each I don't think there's many people that actually think it's going to be jimmy g He's still a free agent. Um as good as brock purdy is looked I would think most people think it's going to be trey lats of brock purdy Most reasonable people unless they win the super bowl with brock purdy Probably still go trey lance So yeah, I think brock purdy is the troll answer here, right? Like this is what twitter they're gonna come in They're gonna pick the funny answer if they can there's a big contingency on twitter. It's gonna do that I don't think jimmy g is the funny answer. I think brock big balls brock is the Funny answer here and trey lance. This is the he's the reasonable one So I want to go over 33 but not too much over. I'm thinking like 40 jimmy 40 to 44 Oh, sorry, we're guessing jimmy g. That's where I was on pace with with lance as well Is it your first time playing this game joe? I have never played this game before Glad you explain the rules. I just honestly, I forgot them now. It's all good. It's all good Uh, let's see. Yeah, so jimmy g. I think it's going to be less than 10. I think we're going to get like a I think I think 10 percent probably is a decent pay that way we Keep them from the under a little bit completely agree. I'd say 10. Let's go with 10 10 You guys locking in 10 percent 10 percent Okay, joey and jeff. Do you think the actual percentage is over or under Jay and jails guess of 10 percent on the jimmy garoppolo side It's a good number I think it's over joey. There was that story right where he got hurt where they the 49ers Said that they wanted to bring him back next year. So I think that's enough to nudge it It's just a 10 percent's a low percentage. It's we got a lot of real estate on the other side of that That's kind of so I agree over my in my head. It was 20 40 40 um But still people really People really think brockport. I mean come on like, I don't know We we had a brocks or a roll and it's like We've gotten more comments on that brock pretty short than anything people love them. So yeah, yeah But yeah, I agree with you on the cb You guys taking the over on their guess of 10 percent Yeah, okay, we've got some answers in the chat here grim fan with 33.3 percent mr. Scampers with 8 percent DJ with 72 and albert with 21 we got answers all over the place for this one The actual percentage people that said side a jimmy garoppolo in this poll was 8 percent wow Great for you guys about as good as it could have gone. You're gonna get five points for that bringing you up to somebody Get it right on right? I think mr. Scampers Yeah, yeah kitty cat Extra whiskers for you tonight mr. Scampers We have an update. I I asked google how to pronounce it. It's to notes teat lawn to notes teat lawn is how you say it right there So I was entirely wrong in every single way I like it on mr. Scampers said 10. Oh shit lens is a great restaurant My wife was really on because like I pronounced zoom wrong and like other things wrong Yeah, I say pronounce zoom wrong. How do you pronounce zoom wrong? I was on a zoom Zoom zoom just kind of cutting out a short. That's all It's like that that sounds like if you say zoom that you're also Apparently, so she's a classic dad move your dad, you know, can we just Chipotle chipolte My mom calls quiz nose quiz mo's quiz What chipolte it's not chipolte There you go. I guess joey's a dad so he checks out right there Kadoa was better anyways We got some people celebrating scampers in the chat dame with the cat emoji shutouts campers for getting that one Exactly right and jl and j you guys have taken a lead here after round one seven to one in this game But there's still plenty of game left Jeff and joey and it is time for your next poll. Are you guys ready? I'm terrible at this game. I'm glad you guys are getting along. You know, we may be arguing. We sure are winning This is it's fine. It's we're gonna come back to see the confidence I have Here we go. Pull number three for team confidence In a super flex dynasty league, which side do you prefer is what the poll asked side a The 2023 102 or side b dame and pierce plus the 2023 110 joey and jeff what percentage people chose side a the 102 in this poll So glad joey got this question So jeff might not no, I love dame and pierce like I was gonna I think people have soured on dame and pierce because I I've been lead to to kind of Knock that down because I everybody's raking him as a rb one and then he's not doing much but I'm not like 52 percent joey Versailles. Yeah, I think this draft class is really good and even as much as I love dame and pierce It might not be enough. So I I think I might agree with you on that I think a month ago this this poll is on side b completely. Yeah Um, but we are not a month ago. We are now past the holidays Um about ready to pop some champagne and things have changed in this world It's where it's like we want to be like 58 percent. You feel like or like Can we go 55? I liked your 52 and then you went a little bit higher. So let's go 55 sounds good to me We can drive even though the song says we can't there's another old man reference That's another show. That's not You guys rolling 55 for this one 55 percent on side a j and jl What percentage or do you think the actual percentage is over or under? Jeff and joey's guess a 55 percent 55 is a really good guess it is j Allow me to implore you. Okay. I'm listening We go for the queen b Let's do it. I'm in b. I'm in queen b. We got room. We got room. We got plenty of room here I don't think I explained the queen b at the beginning of this game So for anybody watching who is unaware what the queen b means Jl and j think that jeff and joey are exactly correct And if they are right, they will also get 10 points for their guess of queen b It is statistically improbable. It has never once been hit on the show But it is a glory play and they are going for it now We have some guesses in the chat for this one. Albert coming in with 63 percent Mr. Scampers with 88 percent dj coming in with 22 percent and grim fan with 43 percent The actual percentage of people that chose the 2023 102 over damian pierce and the 2023 110 was 79 percent I'm sorry. There are no points to go around and this was the chance It was worth it. We went for it. It's good But jeff and joey I think you guys hit on a lot of the points here people have soured on damian pierce And that this draft class is Incredibly hyped up like people are very excited for the players You got bijan robinson who people are talking about is like as high a caliber of a athlete coming into the nfl It's like a sequam barkley I've heard about like the best running back prospect sends barkley And then you've got the two quarterbacks who people have been hyping up for years and cj stroud and bry shung And then there's a couple other quarterbacks people are excited for as well Jeff you're the college football guy. Is this warranted the hype around the 102 pick this year? I actually think that class comes in a little bit disappointing from where we were in the pre-season Leading into the college year because a lot of the guys had disappointing years this year in college We had jackson smith and jigbo was thought to be one of the top receivers. He was hurt all season long Jordan adison didn't produce the way that he quite did the year before and kashan butte was another top receiver He opted in last night. He was originally supposed to come back So I think that it's I think probably where the hype is if people haven't adjusted to that and judging by the reaction That I get on twitter if I suggest that the hype is a little bit over hyped People have not adjusted to that so people might be a little bit high coming in on this class I think where we actually ended up but it is a very good class And that kind of makes sense maybe that the 110 may have been more valuable six months ago than it is right now Right, maybe those top couple picks still retain their value But the the depth of this class isn't as good as we thought it was going to be I think that's fair I think that there's people are kind of Getting tempted on on the back half of this class. I still like it. I mean, it's still a really good class Would you make good grade? When I would have rather have the 102 I think you can oh do a little bit more with the 102 then I'm just worried very concerned about damien pierce You know, we don't see the passing game production The Texans are not an offense I want to be buying in on right now and so that I'm just concerned on pierce and retaining value A day three running back. There's enough narratives about day three running backs that You know if the Texans double dip and take somebody in the fourth to fifth round that people like Then that's going to erase a lot of value out of damien pierce He just crushed joey soul by the way with all that talk. I know it's in my heart. It's fine Damon here first scampers gets the first poll right now dame with another exactly right answer at 79 Nice job dame. You guys are killing it in the chat today Undefeated is the f y f chat guys before we move on to our next you can take joey nice spot because we're getting drilled Scampers and dame. Yeah, they're winning right now. I think they're ahead of everybody At least we're funny. So Oh speak for yourself We had some questions in here. I wanted to answer before we got to our next round b bans wanted to know Devonta Smith or mike williams j I'll throw this one to you first So you going with devonta smith or mike williams this week? This one is kind of tough Devonta smith has been playing excellently Oh god, he's got the New Orleans Saints this week The vegas is expect both of these games vegas is just expecting mediocre games Oh, I think i'm gonna go i'm gonna go devonta smith Devonta smith jeff. What about you? Are you going devonta smith or mike williams? Yeah, devonta smith had a big week last week. I'll roll with devonta smith It looks like a g brown might be a little bit banged up coming into this game And so they might kind of rely on devonta smith a little bit more heavily Joey, are you agreeing with these two? I have them back to back on my rankings and I agree That's your favorite. That's your favorite Because I feel like people are going to my rankings and looking at them and then bringing those questions to the table Which I know is not true, but it's nice to tell myself that maybe when your mom asks a question or something, but We got dj in here saying I heard this offseason rumor involving the bears and raiders Devonta Adams in the ninth overall pick to the bears for the second overall pick Would you pull the trigger if you're both of these teams jay if you're these teams? Are you pulling that trigger? If i'm the raiders 100 to get that money off the books to devonta Adams They obviously seem like they're they're in a reset and the reason he came was for a car The bears that's a lot. I mean they're they're so much that they need now They it looks like they have their quarterback in the future in justin fields jeff. I know you're very happy about that Um, I don't think i'm doing that if i'm the bears I know, you know, we've seen these guys take big leaps when they go out and get them a wide receiver one you know with josh alan with staphon digs and we've seen it in a couple other places as well But it's not like the bears are just a wide receiver away um Raiders I would pull the trigger bears. I think they're they have a lot more to work with uh than To work on than just getting a wide receiver one Jeff, what about you? Are you uh, are you making this trade if you're either of these gms? No, I would not as that's holding that second pick What you're really hoping for is somebody falls in love with another quarterback in this class and you're able to trade it for a Quarterback package Usually we've seen that come in as multiple first round picks and then you know Second third those types of picks and those types of things that can really overhaul the franchise and I don't know that You know devonta adams, you know, certainly is devonta adams We know is good, but at the same time you're stepping out of probably a layer of blue chip Draft prospects if you stay at two versus going to nine, but also you're eliminating that potential quarterback package I'm with you I think they can get more for that second overall pick and Probably will if they're sitting there and they have that second overall pick with justin fields Someone's going to trade up for one of those quarterbacks that they love Grim fanning here at a question for us at hassan haskins or julius chestnut this week Joey if you got to start one of these two running backs Who are you starting? I I have haskins. He's ranked as my 34th running back this week. So like I'm not super high on I don't think the titans are gonna have a great game against dallas's great run defense tonight But I would start haskins over chestnut What about you john luke you agreeing with joey here? Yeah, it's haskins over chestnut, but I've If you're in the championship, I'd be trying to avoid haskins Yeah, that's uh, if you made it to the championship and have to start one of those two guys I'm sorry, but best of luck Best of luck. Let's hope it works out for you guys We're going to get into our next round here and everybody watching thank you for putting your questions And then we're going to keep on trying to answer them throughout the show today But a reminder one more time right after this joey and I will be live with our friend jake parry On our youtube channel at front yard fantasy for fantasy football office hours We're doing nothing but answering your questions for about an hour until 7 p.m Eastern time that would have been funny if I would have just said we're doing nothing I was waiting for that That would like you could have just ended it there. We're just doing nothing. I'm just going to stand there and breathe J and jl we are on to your second poll. Are you ready for this one? Yep You are hot on your first one. Let's see if you can continue it here 12 team dynasty super flex side a is mike white plus brock purdy plus the 2023 207 and the 2023 208 Side b is russell wilson plus jerry judy What percentage of people prefer side a in this poll? Wow All right, so mike white brock purdy. They can't have a ton of staying value I have to imagine even with russell wilson's woes He's gonna be more valuable than the mike white and brock purdy. They have all that money invested in russell wilson Jerry judy If we just split it up two by two the quarterbacks for the quarterback and the two draft picks for the For jerry judy for the wide receiver I'd rather have the side b of this j. What do you think? Yeah, I think it's pretty heavily on side b Um, and even though they're second round picks. They're both late second round picks You know, I think it's super flex, right still but even 207 and 208 for a guy like jerry judy People love to have the stack too. You know, they see a Denver stack with wilson and judy that might bump the numbers up I'm thinking like mid 70s on the b side. What do you think? I was close to there. I was thinking 35 Ish 35 to 40 30 You'll get a little higher a little bit. Let's go like 33 Let's do 33 33 on the mike white and brock purdy side team to notch teatlon Do you think the actual answer is over or under? team jl's guess of 33 percent Well, joey, I think it's over For several reasons one people are irrational about mike white for some unknown reason And option a I think people are inclined to think pick option a and a twitter poll and so that kind of lends a little bit I think people think it's a little bit evener when they see it on the voting And so that's kind of why I think over but what do you think? It's close. They Huh They put a good number up there You know, I think the wilson judy side is going to win That's just a coaching rumors of who might be coming in now to replace hack it has got people Somewhat excited about russ wilson. You saw jerry judy get his quarterbacks back today when that Was at barstool had a story come out about wilson having his own private office and jerry judy is like there's a reason He's got his own office So I think that's encouraging to see I don't think russ wilson's down to water. So yeah, I I think it's a little bit over but I definitely think side b won this Let's go over Are we to the way over way under yet? Not yet next round. We'll go way over. I mean, I wouldn't be doing it on this one. I was just curious So yeah, just over someone Over the guest was 33 Taking the over on that one. We got crazy guy in the chat saying yo the number one cowboys fan is into house Jay is here. All right They wash it What's up crazy guy? Welcome and glad to have you. Yeah, we had some guesses too. DJ was 16 percent scampers with 92 percent Dame with 59 percent and grim fan with 39 percent and albert coming in with 27 percent all over the place That scares me that daemon scampers are that high because they're generally pretty good at pole perception They've been on fire today. They've been killing it today. Well the percentage of people that chose the mic white side of this poll was 24% wow day in jail. You're within 10 percentage points So you just allow me to talk first and then you do the exact opposite of anything that I Can we try that for the next round? Yes Yeah, sometimes when I'm really wrong a lot very bad at this game Well, a lot of times whenever this happens to me where I just keep being wrong I will just go the opposite of what I think just to just to prove it the theory wrong Jeff I could score zero points today and I'm walking away with your friendship and that's what means Get out of here. I appreciate that. I feel the same way to be honest, you know But the rules are made up and the points don't really matter But as long as friendship can go through that's that's what we got What a coincidence that the losing team is saying all these really nice We're friends and we're also dominating. Yes and the points matter. You're right Whose turn is it anyway? It is now Jeff and joey's turn coming up before we get in there though We had some questions axe attack in here. So should I start malik davis? um Malik davis does he mean malik willis here? No, I mean Malik davis no tony pollard tonight. Um, I don't I don't think I'm starting malik davis. What about you guys? It's Outside of the most desperate situations. I mean, I'm gonna I'm gonna steal something from coop here Go throw him in a dfs lineup because there is a situation where malik davis could get a lot of carries tonight against tennessee They are a good run defense, but I would not be starting them in a championship week to try to win a championship but In like a showdown slate. Yeah throw them in there Jeff, what about you? Do you have any fire behind starting the league davis tonight? No, I it's just one of it's too risky and you've got to this point And I don't know unless you're like me and you're a straight zero rb drafter that you know, maybe you're desperate enough But it's just I think it's big braining it quite a bit. It's kind of I I kind of talked it over with yo dave kluge and some of my other friends about is this the potential option I just don't I can't get there to starting that in a lineup I feel you guys we're gonna jump into our next question now. I see some more of these questions in the chat We'll get to those in between rounds. Um making sure we're getting to those questions But it is time for the next round and guys there is another rule that we are implementing now Instead of just over under and queen b there are two more options available to you If you think your opponent's guess is very off You can guess the way over or the way under how this works Is it's a double or nothing mechanic in order for you to get points? The answer has to be 15 percentage points or more away from your opponent's guess If it is and you guess the way over a way under you're going to get double the points You're going to get four points But if it's only 14 percentage points over or under you're going to get zero So it has to hit that threshold and if it does you'll get double So keep that in mind whenever you're making your guesses and whenever you're choosing you're over under Joey and jeff you guys ready for your next question? I now i'm ready. I needed those few couple rounds to warm up I am warmed. I am ready to go I'm just I'm very pained. That's important Joey to do opposite of what I'm telling him to do Joey has pulled out a victory with an exactly right answer in the last round of this game before So don't count yourself out yet Joey Dynasty super flex. Who do you prefer side a trevor lorenz side b justin fields side c Justin herbert or side d to shan watson what percentage of people said trevor lorenz in this poll Simon the smile on your face as you're reading those options with the people that we have on stream With the lorenz and fields and shan watson in there. It was just uh, it was cute. It's a fun poll. It's a fun And a lot of players I like and one I don't Get some justin fields. I mean come on I personally think justin fields is we're gonna win this poll I think herbert dominates this poll. I feel like in dynasty super flex really person. Yeah, okay I don't know man. I just from where the dine's community has been on herbert traditionally. I think herbert pretty comfortably, but Okay, I don't know. I think fields is probably above lorenz. I think given production this year. Yeah But so I like to give 25 to when there's like four things and then just weight it out from there Well, we can give Watson zero yeah, so I like that. So we're at about 33 apiece for these guys now. So herbert Do you want to give herbert 40? Yeah, I think kind of in that area So maybe let's go 28 on trevor lorenz to give justin fields like 32 Sure, does that sound about right? Yeah, because I think they're all really close except for watson. I think watson's out of this mix Watson's zero there's nobody's picking watson this poll if you are you're crazy, but Yeah, 28 for me like 18 percent from lorenz, but really? Yeah, I just think that do we want to go a little bit lower than I was thinking around 18 Personally, I can't you guys talk about where is it as if I can't hear you? I don't know. I'm seeing 18 Which you can find with 23 Do the opposite of what I say joey 75 We'll go 23 bob 23 bob from team to note teet on J and jl Wappers, do you think the actual answer is over under way over or way under their guess of 23 on the trevor lorenz side 23 percent's pretty good. Yeah, I was I was hoping for that 18 because I would have went over I think I think you guys are discounting people giving up on to sean watson me still Even though we struggled this season still nobody picked on watson in this poll Again, it's twitter. So they are to sean watson for the home field favorites As I say, I think we need to I think we need to account for like three to five percent of just clicks from on twitter This twitter is going to pick every option regardless. I have like eight percent in my head for watson. I could see And so if you take that out or we're dealing with like 92 left over. So if we divide that evenly we're at about 30 I definitely think herbert's the winner. I do think between these three Trevor lorenz is in last I don't know about that. I'd say let's take the over on 23 23. I'm with you on the over. I think it's going to be high 20s um Because it herbert could be a little heavy too with what they went with and you know people could be off a field Just a little bit with the injuries that he's been dealing with Trevor's been super hot as well. So yeah, please go through the percentages for each one of this sign them. We're done So I was I was planning on it. So we got 23 from jeff and joey and we've got the over From jl and j here. We have some guesses in the chat scampers with 33 dj with eight percent dame with 27 percent and grim 47 40 Well the actual percentage of people that chose trevor lorenz in this poll was 25 percent still close jeff and joey you guys are going to get five points for being within there Nice guess we're going to get you up to six points team jl You guys are going to earn two points for correctly picking you over under there, but they're catching up on you gained some ground right there Thanks for bringing me down jeff. Thanks for bringing me down those two Thanks for not going to where my mind was Justin herbert did win this poll jeff and by a comfortable margin. You were right 52 for justin herbert Trevor lorenz wasn't second with 25 percent followed by justin fields at 19 Percent and then to sean watson at four percent. So jl when you said three to five percent you were nailed it exactly right for to sean watson and uh Jake i think you the nail on the head with the trevor lorenz first justin fields here It's what have you done for me recently if this would have been asked five weeks ago I bet justin fields is ahead of trevor lorenz. This was asked this week So trevor lorenz just slightly had a justin fields. Yeah, maybe team team outlook might might just tip it in trevor lorenz's favor I'm not sure the jags are so hot right now. There's more points and that's justin fields, but that's just me I'm with you jeff. I'm starting justin fields over trevor lorenz everywhere But uh, I get I get why people would vote that way the score is 12 to 6 now before we get into our next poll We had a question in here from mark mark want to know should I start prescott or fields? So jeff we were just talking about fields. Are you starting fields or prescott this week? Fields has really struggled the last couple weeks coming back from that injury. They haven't been running him I think that they're they're just trying to get through the end of the season and not running him to Not get him more hurt. And so I probably lean prescott again I just think they could really pour it on pretty quickly on tennessee in this game tonight What about you jay? Which way are you rolling with these two quarterbacks? Yeah, I'm with jeff and also You know people are concerned about the dowels players getting You know bench in the second half. Well in order to do that They're gonna have to be up pretty comfortably and in order to do that There's gonna have to be some offense. So even if it is only a half or three quarters, then Should get some pretty good production out of them I always love when we I just love when we big brain it and we're worried about a team scoring too many points It's just cracks me up every time and then we get like a 10 to 7 I'm gonna go I'm actually gonna be on the other side is I'm gonna go fields and lean fields here going against detroit I think he'll be able to pass. We'll be able to pass just fine Both these matchups are solid for these guys, but I'm gonna lean fields Joey, what about you? I'm gonna side with my f y f teammate jail. Um, I do have fields ranked a spot higher than press cut Um, like every quarterback against detroit this year. I know fields have struggled the last few weeks the rushing You don't need to rush against detroit and you can't rush against detroit because they are run defense is great Except for last week when they were But no, I think fields can be fine and um, I I'm not like jeff said like I love when we big brain it You know, I I think dak press scott can easily and the cobwebs can have 28 points by halftime tonight After that, I don't know how much more they put up and hopefully those are four passing touchdowns that I do my math right I did awesome Or defensive touchdowns. It might just be exactly defensive or running back. So I I would slightly lean fields here You're in a good picture now jeff. Yeah, you're in a good spot DJ in here wanted some help picking out his running backs and flex for this week says he's got Jacobs, kenneth walker and acres in right now But also has latavius murray deonta foreman and rashad white available to start jeff, would you be changing it up? Would you sub out jacob's kenneth walker or acres for rashad white deonta foreman or latavius murray? No, I've ranked those first three guys earlier I'm I am worried about jacob's one the 49ers matchup But two there's some rumors that they want to play the younger players a little bit and You would think if josh jacob's is not part of the future that they would play It's a mere white a little bit more and so that would be a concern, but at at this point I don't know. I just don't see where you can bench jacob's and live with that if he goes for 125 yards and two touchdowns I'm with you. I'm with you Jalen j we are going to get into your last poll here before the final round. Are you guys ready? If you got the lead, let's see if you can grow it or if jeff and joey are going to make a little bit of a Come back. We can blow it That's a good rhyme jail. Here's your last question Who would you rather have it quarterback to win right now? So if your team needs to win right now side a tom brady or side b dak prescott J and jl what percentage people said they would rather have tom brady to win right now Do we I'm guessing that this context wasn't given But do we have any indication whether this is nfl or fantasy that they're talking about win what like when a fantasy championship would have All that was said in the question is who would you rather have a quarterback to it says to win a game right now? So actually I did leave some those two words out of probably nfl. That leans more towards nfl. Yeah, okay In that case It doesn't change anything. Well, I guess I guess it slightly changes it on tom brady Yeah, i'll say give maybe a little more to brady with the the real nfl game 27 it's popping in my mind I feel like it's a little low You want to go 35 So like let's do 33 Let's go 33. We already did a 33. Sure. Yep. I'm feeling and I think that 33 percent Yeah Let's go 30. Let's go 30 All right 33 lock it in now right Lock it in 33 jail Overrode you at the last second 30 over a minute. Thanks Joey and jeff do you think the actual percentage people that chose tom brady as the quarterback? They would rather have to win a game right now is over or under their guess of 33 percent Well, joe, you know the rules a little bit better than I do So I think the important question right now is what do we need to guess to actually win this game? We can win this in the last round. Um, what we need to do right now is get this question right Um, you know, I don't think we need a queen be it right now the way they say 33 for tom brady. Yeah You feel like it's higher or lower than that. I think that it's I think it's a good guess. It's a good guess My gut tells me To win a game more people would pick tom brady just because there's that narrative that that prescott can't win games And you know, it's tom brady. It's the goat. So that's where my gut lands in this But it's also I know the audience is fantasy based So that kind of swings it a little bit more toward prescott direction But do you feel that tom brady won this poll? I do not think that tom brady won. Okay Because 48 percent would be if we did way over that's where we'd have to be So that would be pretty much tom brady almost having to win this poll. So that's his way over all or nothing Yeah, it's all or nothing or zero Okay So I don't think it's going to be we really just kind of want to bang one down the fairway here Just to kind of be a play for the last round, right? So yeah, do you just want to go slightly over? Yeah, probably yeah slightly over fairway Taking the over in this one you wouldn't keep it in play he was locking it in with the over Yeah, I think it's gonna be like 35 Is what I'm thinking like I think it's a really good guess on y'all's on your own they have Well, we had some guesses in the chat dame with 18 scampers with 21 dj with 95 And albert with 45 so some answers again all over the place ranging from 18 to 95 The actual percentage of people that chose tom brady over dak prescott in this poll was 17 percent wow day in jail that was 16 percentage points away meaning zero points for you Under would have hit right there. So the score is going to stay the same going into our final round dame shout out dame one percentage point away right there Now see joey's the bucks fan and so I didn't want to come out here and He's looked awful like he's the thing is that he's won games in the end but Oh man, I don't want to get started on the bucks Well, the score is going to be 12 to 6 here and guys for this last round Each team is going to have to have one person write down the answer to this final poll jeff since you're a guest You're going to be responsible for doing it for your team and then jay since you're on top next to jeff Jail are you cool j doing it? I saw your point Jay you're doing it for your team. So i'm going to show this final poll You guys write down the percentage that you think chose side a whoever is the closest is going to get the points Jeff and joey you got to get it exactly right but get it exactly right and you will be our poll perception champion We love to talk it through or we just on our own here I mean you can talk through if you want but it's going to give information to the other team Whatever you want to do I also have text messaging but unless we talk bad stuff That's true. Well, here's your final poll Do you squeeze toothpaste from the middle or the bottom of the tube side a is middle side b is bottom What percentage of people chose middle in this poll jail since you're not since you're not playing You're not guessing while these guys are coming up with their guesses. I just I know you feel strongly about this topic I don't feel strongly tim feels strongly about my choices in life Because I don't squeeze from the bottom. I just squeeze like a monster until until it's almost empty and then I And then I roll it up Yeah, who doesn't do that like I don't know like you're really squeezing from the It just you just squeezed the tube until you have to hadn't until you have to adjust So there are so many other decisions in life that that can help you out and that is not one of them I had my father uses a binder clip to keep the tube world all the way up to the point Where the toothpaste is every single day. He just rolls and then moves the binder clip up a little bit every time he uses this toothpaste How Over under two and a half dead bodies are in a freezer In his basement zero just a lot of cheese Just a lot of cheese Hey, if you were going to hide a dead body and a bunch of cheese wouldn't be a bad spot The smell I bet you I bet you covers up the smell. Yep. Oh, that's a pungent cheese. You've got it It does and it doesn't it depends on the type of cheese you get If you live in long enough Jeff and jay, let me know when you guys have your answers around. I'm good to go you guys got it Okay, let's go ahead and reveal your answers. What do you guys got? 75 from j And what does that say 13? Which side was that for jeff um, whatever dame overboard pick 13 for that's Okay Following dame on that one not a bad strategy. We had some guesses in the chat grand with 0.2 percent I was sick 12 percent. Oh, I maybe I misunderstood the question But then I saw her put 13 and so I said, yeah, let's get smart That's perfect dj 41 dame with 13 percent Scampers with 69 and scampers also saying jail is correct on this topic The percentage of people that say they squeeze the toothpaste from the middle of the tube is 66 percent Jay and jay l you are going to be today's poll perception champion and jay l it looks like and jeff It looks like a public reason you guys on how to use toothpaste Jeff i want to thank you so much for taking the time to come and hang out with us today We really appreciate it and as always it was an absolute blast my friend. Thank you guys I appreciate it so much and so thankful and anytime we can spend together and i'm always happy for it So thank you for the invitation and thank you for being here Of course guys, if you're not already following our friend jeff go and follow him on twitter right now at 400 j Bell tolls truly one of the best follows one of the most knowledgeable people in the game He's putting that out there on twitter for you every day. I love what dame just said in the chat Wow a lot of super wrong people out there. I don't know. I'm on the same wavelength So that's kind of why I look so you do squeeze from the bottom I don't know how I squeeze i'm like jl. I just squeeze the tube like I don't know. Yeah, that's what I mean You squeeze in the middle and you know once it gets to the end then you start to roll the bottom I feel like people want to say they squeeze from the bottom because I feel like that's the way you're supposed to do it So when you're answering a public poll they would be like, well, that's the right How are you like what you want? Then you're like dangling there like all flaccid and trying to get it on the like you got a Toothpaste do you have? What are you doing with your friends in the play j In you combined a flaccid toothpaste to see I learned a lot Because I always squeeze my toothpaste on the top and I never get anything out of it So you're squeezing it back into the tube I mean raw or fresh that comes in the hard plastic tube where you just push the button at the top and it comes out Like cheese whiz. Um, that's the only kind of toothpaste I use I'm gonna imagine joey just every single toothpaste to be gets he tries to open from the other way like Feeling it dipping it in there. He thinks that's a drain I like my toothpaste to run the water real when it's all done, you know, I think a pomade right dip my toothbrush in the toothpaste Guys Everybody who joined us today.
