[@adamaizer9655]

thank you Brandon

[@tmartin8888]

Best waiver wire pickups for me in recent memory were Cordarrelle Patterson and Van Jefferson in 2021 in my PPR league. Between those moves and drafting Kelce at 1.07 and Cooper Kupp at 4.03, I was untouchable that year.

[@pistolrx9313]

Thank You Adam Dan and Jamey!

[@Trojanlax340]

Love the superflex and 2 QB talk 🤙 Won my superflex league last year and I drafted Aaron Rodgers, Desmond Ridder, and stashed Kyler on IR. Baker was a big addition on waivers and successfully streamed based on matchups

What I'd like to know is what Dickie Thon thinks of Draft-a-Thon. (80s baseball reference for all you youngsters)

[@mikemckenna1740]

I agree on Freiermuth -- if you don't go for Laporta, Kincaid, or Pitts I think you wait and grab Freiermuth later (or maybe Fant due to competition leaving). There just is not enough separation of production after the first 3. This year draft philosophies are interesting. If you have at least one flex (RB, WR, TE) I think it makes sense to grab all three of your RB or all three of your WR first ---then gamble on the other position in rounds 4-8. If my draft position allows me to get Breece Hall or Bijan Robinson, then I will tend to go all in on RB: There is great value for WR later this year with the likes of Metcalf, Kupp, Kirk, Nabors, McClarin and so on... These WR can all be solid WR2 with WR1 upper floor and you get them in later rounds. The value of top RB's is that they supply a much more steady point per game which is crucial. Nothing worse then a player that gets half its seasonal points in just 4 games! If my draft position does not allow me to get 3 of the top RB then I am ok going all in with 3 Top WR and then waiting for RB later. Walker, Stephenson, Zamir White***, Conner and others could be solid plays. With this philosophy you can grab a stable of solid Handcuffs (Benson, Corum, Lloyd, Dowdle, or ?). Lately we have seen these backups become huge due to injury and if you are not high on your waver wire they the competition grabs them. This urgency to prospect on RB's seems to me to be much better then with prospecting on WRs. So you could make a case to go this route -- there are not as many top point producing WR that are sure things as last year -- largely due to changing QB play. This being said, mixing and matching is also fantastic because of the high number of both WR and RB in later rounds with huge upside!

[@FastestEdward]

Sometimes a team is the only one that has a lot of injuries early and can win the league picking up players. Unbelievably, I was that team. I picked up Puka, Kyren, Stroud, Tank, Nico and Noah Brown. All a week before the pack. This is in a league that started 28 years ago. Scoring from the newspaper.

[@billylanger4659]

I am a proponent of early FAB spending.

[@matthewheywood8532]

GoT didn’t do a good job of translating that smoke baby monster from the book . In the book it took special blood to do it , namely kings blood , and it severely weaken the man who helped make the smoke baby monster. In the book Stannis looked noticeably older and frailer after doing it as it seemed to suck one’s life essence out in the process

[@adamaizer9655]

oh ok, that's good to know! Thanks

[@jdidonna1]

Can we do some more salary cap/auction draft segments?

[@leafgreengoblin]

If Thomas brought up Rotten Tomatoes rankings Adam and Jamey would’ve been right by a mile 😂

[@lukeluna3732]

Adam how about me picking up breece hall and dak prescott up when someone dropped them last year. I won my league because of that. Switched to dak week 10 when eagles had a bye and kept him there.

[@matthewbeffa5781]

Shoutout to Frankie Bagels

[@cav3mancurtis536]

12 team 3 keeper no penalty 1 qb, 2 rb, 2 wr, 3 wr/rb/te flex 1 super flex I made a trade for chase and the 3.07 and gave up laporta, the 2.02, and the 3.11 I was very happy but since told I made a bad trade my other keepers I plan to keep other then chase are dak and Bijan. Your thoughts

[@cryptonian2461]

Is david Montgomery now considered a handcuff

[@nathanielgarrett1608]

Mahomes and Hunt was the most dominant QB/RB stack I’ve ever witnessed in Ffb

Peyton Manning and Edgerrin James beg to differ

[@brandonwilson4740]

​@@matthewheywood8532or Peyton Manning and Marshall Faulk lol

[@RajBauer]

Last year Puka and Kyren went for 35-50 of 100 budget in 3 of my leagues. the 4th was waiver priority. So if you got him for 17 like Jamey said I think the league wasnt as competitive as he thinks or everyone was sleeping. Somehow Hawk Tuah Nakua isnt clever but adam thinks Oil of Olave is a masterpiece lmfao The Prestige is literally one of the best movies ever made, Adam got roasted. Thank you Thomas. Adam thinking The Prestige isnt good isnt shocking though lol

Carnitas, Barbacoa, Pastor, Fish And The Prestige is very good; not arguing that. But, I'm sorry, there's no way in heaven or earth that it's better than The Usual Suspects. The integrity of that list is suspect at best.

[@Kevin-zw6wm]

The Prestige is an amazing movie….top 50 all time is absurd lol

[@boychris1947]

dan just desperately wants to tell boring stories the whole time just like jamey

[@bobbobiv]

I hate how Dan treats this show like a personal Tinder account. Have some freakin' respect for the history. No one gives a crap about your golf game.

[@FastestEdward]

Is Dan drunk? He said the best team in the NFL pick J Reagor. KC didn't pick him.

[@adamaizer9655]

I think he said the best GM in the NFL
