Alrighty. What is cracking, folks? We are back with another stream and uh we got a nice game on tonight. Miami Dolphins, Baltimore Ravens. Uh both Danny and I have a vested interest in the flock league in tonight's game. Uh me with the Lamar Jackson Z Flower Stack, you with the newly Derrick Henry on your roster. One of us should be happy that a Raven popped off. It's the Miami Dolphins defense. very very good implied game environment for the Ravens. We're going to be clenching our cheeks when the Ravens get inside the 10 yard line. Is it going to be a Lamar pass? Is it going to be a Henry run? But just know that one of the FSE boys is going to be profiting. What we can both root for is uh hopefully Devon HN just doesn't catch 15 [ __ ] spam little Texas routes cuz um I'm terrified.

All of you to assume that my highest drafted second round pick on underdog I wouldn't be rooting for. I do not care that you play the fan in the flock league. For all I hope I hope he fries you with a 35 bomb because that would help my Han shares. [ __ ] you. Sorry. Like you said what we could both root for. Like how would that benefit me? Okay, [ __ ] I said I was rooting for you. I didn't expect you to be a [ __ ] I mean that's I'm not rooting for that. I want him to do well. [ __ ] you where you breathe then.

Yeah. Anyways, um Jonathan, uh we got three team reviews. We can kick them off with the team reviews here and then we'll get into the rest of the questions. I think we got about 30ish questions in the queue right now. If you guys do want to get a question answered, if you uh if you guys want to get team reviewed or whatever, the link is in the live chat if you guys want to check that out. It is also in the description of the stream. Um I'm going to Mason does this all the time and I think it's an excellent idea. If you guys get this stream to 75 likes, we'll uh give out start sit and trade question ventures. But only if this stream gets to 75 likes will we do that. So, um, if you have not, if you want a trade question, start sit question, you better hammer the like button.

And how about this? If we get 75 likes, that'll be 10 comments. And then for every 25 likes after that, we'll give away another five free start vouchers. Sounds good. All right, let's get it kicked off here. Jonathan Price, shout out. Um, he is actually the creator of the cheat sheet in the manifesto. Um, every year he helps us out with it. Uh, Mahomes Improvement here is, uh, the name of his team. one quarterback start seven 12 team league very strong well-built roster very strong at every position you have positional anchors Tyler Warren Josh Allen Jir Gibbs Acha Ibuka and then really solid depth between Judkins Tracy Walker Dowel Rashad White that's a very well-built running back core Ted McMillan Brian Thomas Jr. Travis Hunter. I mean, if there's work to be done, I would say it's in the receiver core because you have both Jaguars receivers, which I'm not really comfortable with given the way that Trevor Lawrence is playing right now. And you have so much running back depth in a environment where people are probably struggling at that position that you could maybe take BTJ plus somebody and go get an upgrade at wide receiver. Maybe. Dude, there is no reason not to just take BTJ and add a Tyrone Tracy to see if you can get up at running back to take a I mean, hell, if you wanted to take Brian Thomas Jr. plus Quinton Judkins and you want to see if you can get in the range of like a James Cook, try and do something like that as well. Realistically, when I'm looking at the roster, like you you're strong at every position. Your team is really good overall and you still have guys like R.J. Harvey, Trey Benson, etc. available on the wire. Like to me, if you can shed two roster spots in consolidation deals, pick up Harvey and Benson to replenish your running back depth, then at that point, you upgrade your starting lineup, you're well on your way towards winning the championship because I mean, we look at the onesie positions, you got advantages there. Obviously, in Mecca, he does have to get healthy, but you have a lot of young upside. I'm also a big believer, I mean, I have Travis Hunter higher than you do, spoiler alert, shocker alert. But assuming he's healthy this week, I think he's going to be both a top 20 wide receiver in our rankings. I personally would have Travis Hunter ranked a pretty good chunk above Brian Thomas Jr. the rest of the season because I do think the labor of the shoulder is very concerning for me.

Yeah. Yeah. Like my thought process would be find a team that is kind of lacking depth and maybe a shitty record. Like this team is probably in okay shape. Trying to find a team with like a badish record who like this team maybe could use some depth without Amarian Hampton. This is a good target to go after. If you can take Brian Thomas Jr. plus Tyrone Tracy. Does that get you to George Pickkins or AJ Brown? I think it should. I think that would be a pretty easy trade to make. Maybe you could even get him like because knowing that you're just going to pick up Trey Benson or RJ Harvey on the waiver wire. It's not Brian Thomas Jr. plus Tyrone Tracy for George Pickins. It's for George Pickins and Trey Benson. Exactly. Getting him off of the wire. If you could pull that for Pickkins specifically, I'd be down. Um I do have AJ Brown ranked lower than you do. I have Dvonte Smith ranked higher than him straight up. So you could even go after Genty even too if you wanted to. makes sense. Heck, if you wanted to even go a bigger scale deal and work up a two for one to try to get JSN, I think that'd make a ton of sense. Like, if you could take realistic like I would do a Mecha Ibuka plus Tyrone Tracy in a heartbeat if you can get JSN and add Benson for free.

Yeah. No. Yeah, you could definitely try something like that. I mean, this is a four and four team with some depth issues. Like, could you buy could you go Brian Thomas Jr. plus a depth running back from your roster to get Collins or Odun? I think you should be able to get something like that done as well, especially given his RB depth. Absolutely. and where BTJ was drafted to kind of hold some weight. When you're giving up players like Odun and Collins, you kind of want a guy that I I think most people would assume given where he was drafted that he still has a lot of upside in Brian Thomas Jr. Yeah, exactly. Um, yeah, those are the moves that stand out to me. I mean, I think your running back core is just in tip-top shape, but again, consolidation moves either to get hammers at running back or wide receiver. Like Judkins plus Tracy get you to um James Cook or something like that. Like if you can package two running backs together, get a better one. Package a running back and a wide receiver together, get a better one. I will say BTJ probably the one guy that I would look to sell on this roster. I want to hold Hunter, I want to hold McMillan, I want to hold IU, I want to hold Ibuka, all those guys. Um, and most of the running backs I want to hold generally as well, but if you can make consolidation moves, that's probably your best bet there. So, moving in, we'll do the reviews first and then we'll go back to Boot's question there. Currently 8 and0 in this Dynasty 10 team start nine PPR here. It's a one quarterback league as well.

Only value. This is a value. I mean, brother, I appreciate you for supporting the channel, but you probably could have saved your money here, realistically. Um, what are we going to tell you, honestly, that's going to help a roster like this? Trade a quarterback plus a piece and just keep trying to upcure your running back and wide receivers. You're having fun at this point. I mean, [ __ ] Does Caleb Williams plus Tyler Warren get you Trey McBride? If you want to upgrade your production value this year. Yeah, go get Josh Allen maybe too. Like with Jaden Daniels plus a piece on your bench, could you go get Josh Allen and just get the best quarterback you possibly can start? Same go like you said with Trey McBride getting the best tight end you can possibly start. Attach a Dak to a Bree Hall. See if you can get Christian McCaffrey. Like honestly just upgrade your point equity because there's no way this team falls off from a value standpoint. Like what is that? What if you're four, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11 in your [ __ ] rankings? Are we serious? Like how the [ __ ] does that even happen? Yeah, you literally have six, what is that? Six top 12 receivers of mine. I wish I just tuned in, too. Yeah, literally. This team is insane, man. And if anybody's just filing in right now, get this stream to 75 likes and we'll give away free start, sit, and trade question vouchers. Make sure you like the stream to get some free questions.

Please show the bottom team as well. Please show the bottom team. Yeah, that's a good question. Defur. Oh, Deur. Defuria. I can't I I don't have my um my Nordic [ __ ] in in my system here. Yeah, that's that's the leader of Germany, right? Yeah. This guy's team is ass. This guy's team is ass. Everybody's team is ass down here. Realistically, this is this team's at a point where I may not try and make any more deals because you're you'd be worried that people will leave this league if you get any better. No, legitimately, just play it under the radar. Like, don't bring much attention to your team. just try to try to flow under before they realize what you're actually working with. I'm sure they've work they've uh realized it by now. They've worked it out that your team is just infinitely better than everybody else's team combined pretty much. Like straight up, how many teams in this league can combine and take down this guy's team? No, I mean realistically, you might have to taxi a Mecha Ibuka just so that they don't realize you have them on your roster also. Um because if they look through your roster and go like, "Yeah, this is just free cash, man." Like if this league has a buy in, again, really appreciate the support for submitting this team. You absolutely did not need to submit a team like this. This is a horse. If you want to make more upgrades, by all means. You want to take Bree Hall plus Derrick Henry, go get another hammer running back, buy low on Devon Achan or a Bucky Irving or Ashen Genty or something, go nuts because realistically, you can't go wrong with any trade that you make. As long as you're getting the best player in every deal that you make, you cannot go wrong with this team.

Yep. Um, yeah. And, uh, I'm sure people will start filing in, by the way. We'll we'll have to Yeah, we're going live a little earlier than we usually do. No, closer to kickoff. I'm sure we'll get more people tuning in. Um, but yeah, appreciate uh this submission here. Uh, Pink Yan the Brian Craft Yak and Cheese. So, a little Tucker Craft stand, I'd imagine. Um, six point for passing, touchdowns, 0.5 extra for tight end premium. Feel like I could compete this year, but feels like I need an upgrade at quarterback or another high quality wide receiver to make the final push. He said Texans fan so harder for me to get rid of CJ Strad or Nico Collins. Okay. So looking at this squad, I mean Strad, Lawrence, Rattler not an ideal quarterback core, but the rest of the team is in really great shape.

Yeah. And maybe on this type of team, like is that the type of move you make to try and go and see? I mean, I don't if you can somehow get like a Daniel Jones type and not have to pay your first, I'd be willing to inquire on that type of new move. Whether it's a two plus a three, whether it's a a two plus a roster piece. Um, can you take a two plus kil Shakir go and get a Daniel Jones? Because I think if you get a Daniel Jones, you can bank on, you know, top eight, top 10 level quarterback production rest of the season. Kind of delegates everybody else down a spot. Now CJ Stradder, Trevor Launch, your quarterback two and three rather than your one and two. And I feel like you're instantly upgrading your production equity to about 19 to 20 points per game. I really do think that's where Daniel Jones's going to end up at the end of the year.

Yeah. Yeah. No. Uh, like getting a buy low quarterback of some kind would make sense here because I think that there's a lot of quarterback value to be had. Whether it is like a Daniel Jones or if you feel like taking the risk on a mobile quarterback, you could go after like a Kyler, I just probably wouldn't given the the risk that he currently has right now. Um, yeah, like I look at if I just like wipe my memory clean of this quarterback core and just look at the rest of the team, I go, "Yeah, you absolutely can compete this year. It's just that the point equity of CJ Strad is like 16 to 18 points per game." Same goes for Trevor Lawrence. It's like ideally, like you said, you're a Texans fan. You don't really want to get get rid of CJ. I would sell CJ in a heartbeat for Baker Mayfield, Dak Prescott, or one of those quarterbacks just because this is a team that is capable of competing. And I would sacrifice the extra couple years of age for some of that liquidity or for some of that production value because realistically CJ Stroud's kind of a liability from a fantasy perspective right now.

Yeah, I don't disagree. I mean, it has been better days these last couple the Texans Texans offensive line has played better. Like I don't mind in principle keeping him. I just if you're going to keep him and you're going to keep Trevor Lawrence, like I would almost need to go out and get like if it's not Daniel Jones cuz the guy's unwilling to give him up, how cheap is Sam Darnold right now? Can you pick up a Sam Darnold? Can you insure yourself? Cuz at that point, if you don't have a staple quarterback, one that you can rely upon for 24, 22 points per game a week, can you get a rotation of two or three guys you can play matchups with? Um, yeah, I think you probably could.

Yeah. So, like if Darnold cost it like you shouldn't be much more than a two realistically, right? No, I don't think so. I don't I think like there's there's production value quarterbacks to be had pretty much all over the place in Dynasty. Even if you really wanted to like go after a Matthew Stafford even, like I think he would upgrade your production value in this situation here. Yeah, I agree. I think that's another good a good uh good trade target for sure. Also, yeah, keep in mind uh we see 40 of you uh tuning in right now. Make sure you like the stream. We just pinned the comment as well. Free questions will be given away at 75 likes. So, you hit 75 likes, 10 free start sitrade questions. We'll do five each, you think? Yeah, we we'll give out whatever you guys want. If uh if we hit 75, just in the chat, just be like, "Give me a start, sit, give me a trade, and then we'll we'll give them out to the first 10 that we see." And then, we don't really ask for likes on the stream, but we probably should. And it's probably a resulting thing why Mason has so many people tune in to his streams is that he has lots of likes on them and they get pushed on the uh the homepage and whatnot. So yeah, if you guys want to like the stream, get some free questions, definitely go ahead and do that. Anything else on this team before we get into the main questions here? Because as of now, I just look at this and I go, "Yeah, you're kind of hamstrung with the quarterback position. That would be the way that I would look to maneuver around the rest of this roster."

Yeah, I would agree. Um, I'll go post a link in Mason's chat. Yeah, I mean, maybe that's part of why uh we uh we were losing numbers on the streams. I feel like you and I I I don't know if Mason always streamed before games. I feel like he used to stream like later at night or in the morning sometimes before like like I remember his uh his Sunday morning streams. I feel like they used to be early in the morning. It's part of our doing because I can imagine how many uh start trade questions, team reviews he got stacked up on the offer we had this off season. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. Realistically, realistically, how many do you think he probably had stacked up? Like thousands, right? Yeah. Oh, I I would have to imagine so. Yeah, I'd have to imagine he had like with um especially at the beginning of the promotion where people were um were getting two uh two of each. Like there was four vouchers that each person was getting. I'd imagine Mason had lots of uh questions that he was answering. But yeah, um yeah, nothing really else I have to add to this team. This is definitely a competitive team. I just you got to make a move at quarterback whether it's a Matthew Stafford type or upgrading from a CJ Strad or if you really really want to hold on to CJ Strad by all means I would just say that that's then I would go with the Stafford route or maybe upgrade from Lawrence in that situation. So

that is uh going to do it for the team reviews. Let's get it to the uh trade questions and the start sick questions and whatnot here. Boot 4186 says I'm rebuilding. I have Bowers and Craft already. So, he'd be selling off a Ronda Gadson in exchange for Benson.

I would need a plus. I agree. I think if you're going to get Trey Benson in a two, that would probably do it for me. But like Trey Benson's not a sure thing. Like realistically, when you're Trey Benson, you're a third round pick. James Connor goes down. You got to grab that job by the balls. And it's not his fault that he got hurt. But like what's stopping the Cardinals from adding significant competition at running back because they don't know what they have in Benson? If Benson was an RB1 over the last month and a half that James Connor's been out for, then that bodess better for his future outlook. You know what I mean?

So, let me ask you this question because again, I understand context completely different. We're more optimistic about Benson injury and Benson's talent than this other player. But it does remind me a little bit of a situation. Again, this is the only negative concern I have on Benson to what we had with Pacheco last year. With Pacheco, he breaks his fibula. He comes back. We're like, "Oh, no, no worry. He's the most efficient, the most, you know, talented running back in this backfield. He's going to assume full duties. But we see, you know, the veteran plotter running back in a guy like Kareem Hunt take a lot of consequential downs, take a lot of, you know, first down and goals, second down and goals, third down and one type of situations. If Bam Knight plays well in these next couple of weeks, who's to say that Jonathan Ganon, who by the way, we saw James Connor be a workhorse back from the last year. Who's to say Jonathan Ganon won't give him short yardage and goal line work?

Yeah. Like I when you're not a first round running back or a second round running back or even if you are like we saw this with Hampton at the beginning of the season like the second you're not reliable, not available, injured, whatever and you take advantage of your opportunity, like for example, if you think back in 2023, Kairen got the opportunity, took full advantage of it. Why didn't he lose it? Because he kept taking advantage of it, stayed on the field, stayed available, all that kind of stuff. If Kairen that season doesn't take full advantage of that opportunity, then the Raiders probably draft a running back in the draft that year. So, if Trey Benson's either not healthy or not um playing well when he comes back or whatever cuz he's cuz that's the other thing like people assume Trey Benson's going to be 100% playing at a high level. He could be limited. It's a major injury that he suffered. So, um yeah, that's got to be a worry for Trey Benson dynasty acqu uh like people are trying to acquire him right now is that it really sucks that he went down when he did just like it did for Pacheco last year because there's an alternate universe where Pacheco has a top 12 season last year and maybe gets an extension last offseason.

Yeah. And honestly, I just think like in the context of this move specifically, like Aronda Gatson's side just has all the upside because at this point he's the one playing on the field. Who's to say in the next two weeks, what if he's the tight end one in fantasy? Like like genuinely, there is a scenario in the next two weeks he's running 90 plus% of the routes. He produces two straight eight catch 95 yard touchdown performances. He's arguably the title one in dynasty. Yeah, Not to mention like who's just a better football player from what we know about them at this very moment and it's probably Aronda Gatson based on what we know about these two players at their respective positions. So yes, I like that you have Bowers and Craft already. I would probably sell high on Gatsson just in principle but I would want more.

Yeah. No, I agree. Um if you could get a two attached, maybe you take on that risk, but there's no need to if it's just a straight up endeavor. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, free start sits on the streams, boys. Appreciate. Yeah, make sure you guys hammer the like button. And we have more people starting to file in here as we get closer to game time. We will be giving away start set questions and trade questions if we get this stream to 75 likes. So, make sure you hammer that. Jonathan Taylor is the subject of this trade who uh currently and I finally made this change in my rankings is the 101 overall rest of the season. Drake London and Trey McBride the combined package there. I do not think this is enough personally.

So, this is very similar in my opinion to the puka deal I made with Nathan. I think I got more, but I think the deal that I would need for Puka would be about the deal I would need for Jonathan Taylor. And to me, the Henry Justin Jefferson combo was right about the line of what I needed to accomplish. If I got offered a London McBride package, I would have held the Puka Nua. So, I do think in your scenario, unless you're desperate for depth, you're desperate for tight end help because I mean the waiverwire everybody rosters to and you're looking at maybe rostering a Jawan Johnson as your main guy. I understand making the move in that scenario, but dude, Jonathan Taylor's averaging 27 and a half points per game. Jonathan Taylor's season this year only pales in comparison to one singular season in the last 15 years, and that was 2019 Christian McCaffrey.

Yeah. And especially knowing that you had this girthy ass duo of Jir Gibbs and Jonathan Taylor. I just don't want to sacrifice that, especially once Hampton comes back. Like your wide receiver core is not in that dire of straits that you would need to dra to go pick up a Drake London. And while Trey McBride would dramatically improve your tight end core, you can get by with what you got there. Yeah. Like maybe if it's Gibbs, that's a different conversation because Gibbs isn't giving 28 points per game in the lineup. It's more of a mid-first non-leendary upside asset. It's more of just like a hey, he's a top elite RB, top six running back rest of season.

Yeah. And honestly, I I will say this to defend Nathan, by the way. I was very shocked at how much of a negative reaction he got for the trade cuz like what did people [ __ ] think that I would sell Puka for? Seriously, I mean I So most of what I said about the trade was not included in the video. So um nobody's going to have any way of factecking this, but what I said in the video basically was I don't think the trade made sense for Nathan because he just lost Cam Scataboo. So why the hell did he make a trade giving up his best running back? That was basically my issue with the trade is that it just seemed nonsensical and he got and this part also was not used in the uh in the actual vlog. I made a comparison to the Brandon Iayuk trade I made where it was like I'm emotionally attached to this Brandon Iayuk character. He's emotionally attached to this Puka Nakua character. That's what it felt like. It did not feel like somebody going out and buying a player who because ultimately Pukuna is an absolute stud. It's really hard to overpay for a player like that. But those are two top 15 players that you got in return and a top 50 player in Jordan Addison for Jameson Williams and Alec Pierce who are basically like maybe flex options.

So, I'm I'm just going to explain this in the context. I do agree from Nathan's context specifically giving his team needs he probably wasn't best suited to make that type of deal. But just from a face value perspective, we just argued right now that the 18th overall player and the 23rd overall player in your rankings is enough for Jonathan Taylor. We both agree that Pukinua Jonathan Taylor I think Jonathan Taylor is slightly more valuable and I think that there's a big a pretty sizable difference to me between Trey McBride and Derrick Henry and Drake London and Justin Jefferson. I think that there's a a modest difference between like a two a backend first and an early second round player is different than two backend second round players. I don't disagree with that but basically what I'm saying is if you had a Jonathan Taylor or Pukin Nakua that is the exact value you would need to move off of them. Like if I got offered this for Puka Nua, I would have declined it in a heartbeat. So that that goes back to my point where it's like I got two top 20 Yas. Yes. But should I get any less for Puka Nua? No, probably not. But what didn't need to happen was Jordan Addison being in that trade. That's what that's the part where Nate wanted Warren. He wanted Warren. I wasn't going to give Warren unless I got Addison. Yeah, cuz the way I viewed it is Henry plus I think I said Jameson Williams. I meant I meant He was He wasn't part of that deal, was he? No, no, no. So, basically the way we equated it was Henry plus Puka or Henry plus Jefferson for Puka, which we agree like that's like what you would need to move off of a Puka. Now, that to me is a basically fair even straight up deal. So then at that point I have Warren ranked ahead of Addison. I would have preferred Warren but he he wanted the running back back. So like to to us the way we equated it was the two guys for Puka and then Warren for for Addison. And then Pierce was just I I was going to have to drop a guy anyways. He wanted him back and said, "Sure."

Yeah. I mean, I just I think the reactions overall like I understand from the context of Nathan, but like at the same people say, "Oh, like like the value is clearly on the Jefferson Henry side." It's like, "Well, maybe you can agree with that, but saying it's a completely unrealistic deal just made no sense." The principle of the deal to me was what I had a problem with more so than the actual value of the players. Um, that's reasonable. Like I just don't think Nathan was in any remote position to make that deal. No. No. He just lost one of his best running backs. Like he there's no way he can afford to give away Derrick Henry. Yeah. No, I don't disagree with that. I think he he kind of shifted his gears. He kind of accepted, at least the vibe that I got from him, he kind of accepted that it probably wasn't going to be a playoff run for him. So the way he looked at it is when he's in a toilet pool oneweek setting, he wants the guy that has access to the highest healing fantasy, which I understand like full transparency.

We're about halfway to our goal of 75 likes. So, if you guys want free trade questions and start sit questions, make sure you guys hammer that if you're just filing in here. Um, but that was a good discussion. I mean, when you when you're talking about elite assets like that, you really do need to feel like, you honestly got to feel like you're getting an overpay for a guy like Jonathan Taylor this year because ultimately Jonathan Taylor might not be replaceable this season. The way that the season is going right now, we might not look we might look back on the 2025 season and go, you could not win without Jonathan Taylor. Like I would argue full transparency like I the trade gave me flexibility and with Judkins out on buy I needed the flexibility of Henry in a smashbot against Miami. That was my main motivation. But realistically when we count up like the numbers in terms of points per game averages we can expect the rest of the season. Pierce what nine 10 points per game give or take. Yeah probably 10 11. He's been decent around there. Jaylen Warren I would say rest of the season given his schedule I'd expect about 13 to 14 points per game. He's already 14 points per game. probably good. Puka was at 25 before he got hurt. You do the math there. 39 plus 10 or 11 for Pierce. We're looking at 49 points per game. Derrick Henry will say he's at 18, right? RB1 area. Justin Jefferson 17. Yeah, I would say those are pretty optimistic projections for both of those guys even too. Like I'd say probably 16 to 18 is probably their range for Henry, 16 to 17 for Jefferson. Yeah. And then Addison probably in the 12 to 14 range. you you do the math and like the points per game, they add up across the board. Yeah. Yeah. Like I said, I just don't think his team like if Avery had done that trade like with the team state that he was in, it's different. Yeah. Different story. I I don't disagree on that on that perspective for sure.

Okay. Ryan's got a question here. He said, "Need to win now. Let's assume Judkins is back after the buy." Okay. Um I Yeah, I think a Chan is borderline worth this deal by himself. Borderline. I think you're getting the two best assets in the deal. I I do really like Lad McConi, dude. But I'm telling you right now, the the schedule for the Browns, I would not be shocked if Judkins was a top eight running back in the next five weeks. I love them both, but I think that Lad could go Super Saiyan here. The next four weeks, man, he's he's been like over the last month, he's been literally a wide receiver one in fantasy. And like this week, too, like every time I look at these Chargers matchups, it's always slot corners, terrible [ __ ] um defense. Like they play the freaking Titans this week and the Titans literally lost LJ Sneed and traded Roger McCreary. Like Lad McConi might go for 150 yards again. You're preaching to the choir when it comes to Lad McConi. I have Judkins 23 rest of the season and Lonkey 29. I'm just very actually relatively higher than where I have them in my overall rankings. Honestly, for me like so I understand Judkins people might be concerned about the shoulder. I I don't think it's going to be an issue. Obviously, if it does flare up and he's in I factored it into my ranking of him a little bit. I didn't really because it sounded like it was dayto-day and he did have the by-week this week anyway. So, unless I hear something that actually puts his week 10 status in jeopardy, I just I there's nothing to factor for me. Um, so assuming he would play week 10, I mean, Jets, Ravens, uh, Raiders are tough match up, but then San Francisco, Tennessee, Chicago, Buffalo between weeks 10 to 16, there's one bad matchup in there. Yeah. Like it feels good. I one thing before we get into the next question here because I think we both agree it's the side of the deal. Yeah. I think we may need to walk back our sentiment on Bucky Irving in the trade targets video a little bit. I think we need to walk more concerning now. Huh? Is it status more concerning right now? Yeah, I think so. I think I'll make the adjustment. I would say it's about a coin flip that he's back after the buy. And I saw some reports out there um that are projecting about the same timeline as what Amari and Hampton's timeline is right now, which is like week 12 to 14. So, I shocked if Bucky is back after the buy. Like, I think that he's tracking based on the fact that they didn't put him on IR. But I also heard um there's a the Fantasy Docs like Tik Tok account said that this injury is very hard to know if you should put a player on IR for because it doesn't really behave the way that like an ankle sprain would behave. Yeah, it's it's sometimes like it can fluctuate daytoday how he's feeling. So, that's why they maybe might not have put him on IR. I think everybody assumes cuz he wasn't put on IR that it's less than a four-week injury, but that's not necessarily the case. Was it a grade three AC? I don't exactly know what his actual injury is. People are talking about it being a labum or an AC. And then other people are also mentioning that the foot is a concern too. So with me, I would personally be worried about buying Bucky Irving right now. If you have him, you got to just hope that he comes back. But I would say maybe I would put a little stop order on actively buying him for top 12 running back price tags at the moment.

Landon, ask it another seven times and see if we answer it. Be my guest. Ask it another seven times. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. See what happens. Yeah, that was hilarious by the way that Mason's like, I'll give 15 free trade vouchers to make better trades going forward. So, let me ask you this then because I technically had Bucky at the top of this tier, but at the very minimum, I'm going to move him at the bottom of this tier just because there's potential concern about his status in week 10. So, I had him at number eight ahead of Barkley, Javvante, Derrick Henry, Kairen Williams as the tier. I recently moved him down to 12. So, now it's number eight Barkley, number nine Javvante, number 10 Derek, number 11 Kairen, number 12 Bucky Irving. The question I have for you, A, should he still be in that tier? B, would you prefer Quinn Sean Judkins to him? knowing the I have Genty and Judkins ahead of him. He's my next rated. I have him in a tier with Bree Hall. Um and like because I I based on the stuff that I'm hearing, he should be treated almost like Amarian Hampton is being treated. Like that's what it sounds like.

Okay. This is like stuff I like that's valuable to me too cuz full transparency. Uh you can guess who was trying to dump me Bucky in the Flock League. Um I said I I just I I was interested uh but at the same time I cannot sacrifice week nine. Like I need to beat Sammy and Derek against the Miami Dolphins. Like he might score 28 fantasy points. Yeah, 100%. Like I I'm pretty like So this is the way I Speak of Lamb. By the way, we me and me and Zach were talking about Bucky, but Bush was just describing from Tampa Bay that the the injuries for Bucky are a little bit more concerning. Sorry. Yeah. Also, Baki is reverse jinxing me here right now because I play against I play against Bodaki and I have Lamar going tonight. I didn't even know. Where's the bandano? My hair is hiding it. Facts, dude. I'm getting a haircut tomorrow at 11, by the way.

So, Arthur mentioned this in the chat. He's like, "What's going on with these injury pessimists here? This is not what I tune in for." Amarian Hampton and Bucky Irving, I wouldn't buy them if I were you guys. I wouldn't. I actually I think that not only is it possible that their injuries are longer than people think, it's possible that they are not the same when they come back from set injury. And it's possible that their backfield mate has played so well that the workload that they had pre-injury is not the same as what they have post injury. Yeah, There's multiple concerns, especially when Bucky has two injuries as well. No, that that is fair. And I put that into consideration. I moved Bucky to RB14 again. Uh um don't worry, Evan. I did. I did. Um yeah, I had to move him to RB 14. I had him at eight, but like you said, I mean, if it's going to be something that can keep him out after week 10, there's no reason for me to have him as high as I did because there's still two more weeks until we even see him on the field potentially. Um, and John, yes, Puka is healthy. Um, you know, I I hope he crushes it for Nathan. I do feel bad for Puka. you know, he comes over to a team that potentially, you know, is running to the playoffs and now Nathan, um, we might not see Puka Nua in the fantasy football playoffs in the flock league. Cory, that feels like pretty Someone commented about it. That feels great to me. I don't want to have to run into that buzz saw. Dude, I feel bad for Puka though. Um, and also Sawyer, I I need to see the updates. I I'm terrified right now. But yeah, I am also worried in my home league. I have him as well. Vidal to the moon. I actually like if you guys are in a position to like really really need wins like over the next three, four, five games, I actually think that the Kamani Vidal manager assumes that they got one, two weeks, maybe three left with the guy and you might get five or six more games out of this dude. So I wouldn't be shocked if Kamani Vidal was a really really like one we look back on this season and he ends up being one of the best waiver ads of the entire year.

Yeah. No, I I I think he's already well on his way. There's no reason for them to rush him back. Yeah. Um, that's $29 in fab I've ever spent. Yeah, I'm better than the 93 I spent. Dylan out bid me in my home league for me. Got him for seat. He paid 60 for him and I put up 35 and I beat the You know what's irritating? You know when you bid the perfect amount? Like I had 35, next closest was 34, but Dylan bid 60. So I got wiped. But if Dylan just doesn't bid, then I get him for the exact perfect peak amount. Um, and also culture based off how the injury was described, it didn't sound like too serious. It just sounded like something that popped up in the middle of practice. But like again, there's too much too much uncertainty right now to make like a wide proclamation. Who knows? Maybe he's back at practice tomorrow because he hyperextended it like on a road, you know what I mean? Like we don't actually know what it is. But like, nonetheless, as a [ __ ] Travis Hunter bag holder, I'm praying that I can throw him into my lineup as a top 18 wide receiver in my rankings this week because Las Vegas could not cover the pass. BTJ is banged up all season, it feels like, and everything we're hearing about is first rate in the progression, which guess what? You make Travis Hunter the first rate in the progression, he's going to get 15 [ __ ] targets. Yeah, he's going to. Yeah. And I was very, very high on Judkins during the draft cycle. He was like my favorite running back in the draft. Uh Danny and I both were high on him and uh we did a video in June called like the players we can't stop drafting and this was pre Judkins arrest and Judkins was in that video and we were both like dude in the sixth round he's free cash or whatever and then obviously post arrest I was still hammering the crap out of him too.

Yeah, it was funny cuz I remember like I had like four four Tik Toks on my account for the longest time and one of them was like Judkins like 3 days before the arrest. So, people were probably just like looking at the page like, "Why the [ __ ] would you drop Judkins? He just got arrested." Yeah, probably looking at the casuals uh in that regard there. Um Chaz has a question here. In second place trying to win this year, he'd be selling a mid to late one Kyle Mani, Jameson Williams in exchange for Derrick Henry in early two and uh Chris Godwin. So, I guess the bullish way to look at this trade is that let's say you're in second, he said he's in second place and he's trying to win this year. This goes from like a tra like think about this year in rookie drafts, Danny. If you had the 110 versus the 204, was it a huge difference this year? Like that would be my point on maybe defending this trade for one regard is that if you do end up having a a potential bottom three first in the first round and that's a top three first in the second round, you might still hit the same tier break. You could uh I do think class by class there's a difference, but at the same time, if you can increase your win equity as a team that is in second place trying to win it. Um Derrick Henry is probably going to be a top 12ish level running back rest of the season. So, if it helps you win the championship and you end up giving up what ends up being the 1112 and that early second is outst, I think you feel pretty confident about that.

Yeah. No, I agree. And I think it's possible that we see a little bit of squeaky wheel gets the grease for Jameson Williams over the next couple of games based on how they're talking about him. But um I do think that Derrick Henry is is one of the premier premier buys if you guys are contending Dynasty roster right like this week like you better do it in the next hour and a half because um even though he produced a two touchdown game last week I think people all kind of understand and recognize that Derrick Henry hasn't quite looked the same this year and I do think that um he will come after the byee or after the after the bye-week after this game against the Miami Dolphins. Um basically a bye-week. Juice Wayne here. Tedo McMillan, Courtland Sutton, T. Higgins, or

Chase Brown. Um, I believe I have Courtland Sutton the highest of this group, if I am not mistaken. Let me double check that.

I believe I also have Sen the highest. Let me take a look. Uh, Sutton actually back to back, but I do have Sutton one spot higher.

That's spicy. Um, I don't think you I don't think I disagree though. I have Corland S at 20. I have Ted McMon at 23. Um, it's a tough match up for both Higgins or Chase Brown here. Huh?

Would you factor in T. Higgins or Chase Brown here?

I didn't even see T. Higgins. I have him over both.

Oh, really? I mean, I'm a little bit worried given the uh, oh, I guess I got to drop him more because the Flaco injury, because the Flacco news. I have him. Where is T Higgins in my rankings here? Am I blind?

I'll capitulate. I move him down the tier. He was the tier above with like the Harrison Hunter, Waddle, but I'm going to move him down.

Yeah, I have them like I actually had him. It's funny. I had Sutton, McMillan, and Higgins back to back to back there. Um, but I'll probably move him down into the like Diggs, Addison, Debo Samuel territory with the with the Flacco news and and some of the injuries that he's dealing with. So, yeah, I'd go with I'd go with Sutton and um and Tedaro McMillan here. Chase Brown would be interesting, but given the Flaco thing obviously affects him quite a bit, too.

Um, Yubs, wait, I just took in uh Sammy has T. Higgins in the Flock League.

He does in fact trade na for him. Um, yeah, he did trade Nico for him, unfortunately for me who plays [ __ ]. I'm still so mad about that. Not because I think like Danny got or Danny um Sammy got fleeced or anything. It's just that I'm annoyed that now instead of playing T. Higgins who was on buy when I play Mason next week, I now have to go up against Nico Collins um who is not on buy. Um, which is annoying. Um, yeah.

Wait. Wait, I gotta say one thing. Uh Carlos, brother, do not drop Lovelin. The week they play Cincinnati with Cole Kamett still limited at practice.

Dude. I mean, it sounds all the receivers are on the injury report.

Yeah, I mean, he's limited at practice right now. I I would I would imagine that Coulson Lovelin will still retain relatively speaking the role that he had last week. Maybe his snap share would drop a little bit, but um, yeah, hopefully he can. I think with Lovelin, it is really going to just come once the it clicks for him and he has that like seven for 75 and a touchdown day, it's over. Cole KT's He's never getting his job back.

It's this week, by the way, with all the Bears.

I hope so. I'm starting him in my home league cuz I have Fannon on by.

Yeah, I might have to flex him in the flock league if Travis Hunter's actually hurt.

I'm trying to make a trade with um with Simon right now because he wants Bam Knight because he has Trey Benson and he's down bad at running back. And I'm trying to use um pieces on my bench plus Bam Knight to get to Jake Ferguson, who I notoriously dropped in my home league, which drives me [ __ ] up the wall knowing that I'm starting Harold Fannon and Coulson Lovelin in back to back weeks when I could be starting Jake Ferguson every game because I drafted him and I dropped him after week one.

When he had a bad game. [ __ ] drives me nuts. Um, but yeah, Ashen Jensy, Kamani Vidal, Romo Dun, Tucker Craft, Justin, and Javvante Williams.

Um, too much.

You think so?

Yeah.

I think I don't know. I think you're getting the two best players in the deal.

I mean, Javvante and Odun watch team start seven.

I guess. Yeah, given the 10 team start seven.

Like I don't know. I'm comfortable doing this in this situation here. This is the team that has Jefferson. Oh, wait.

Rome, too.

I guess he made the deal.

Or he made some kind of deal.

Two days ago, he.

I mean, he has Rome on his team, but he didn't get Craft or Genty. So, not sure the deal that he ended up making.

Um, so Javante.

Yeah, he still had Javvante. So, somehow he just got out without trading any of those guys. He he got a doomsday without trading Jefferson or Javvante. So go down. I'm curious what he gave up.

Politics.

Yeah, I gave up something.

Nothing from that trade.

Genty and craft force.

Oh, is that what it was?

I believe so.

They received Genty and Craft. No, but they had It was okay. Yeah, that.

Oh, you got Genty and Wait, wait, wait. He got Javvante and Jefferson for Genty Craft without giving up a Doomsday. Oh my god. Did he give up? At least.

He must have just did the deal without giving up a dunce and he gave up something else.

So maybe that guy's team. Let's try to equate who maybe he gave up instead of a Dunay.

Maybe.

Yeah.

I mean, if that's the deal, I like it.

Yeah, it was probably Waddle if I had to guess. That is what he gave up. But yeah, that's a great that's a great move.

Yeah, if I say it's over with Lovelin, it might be officially cooked. Um, I still have optimism though.

Yeah. Uh, Harry or here. Alvin Chimera, Nico Collins, and Garrett Wilson for Steph Diggs, James Cook, Wanddale, and uh yeah, I think I just want the Chimera Collins and Wilson side here. I like obviously James Cook's the best asset in this, but these other two guys are like borderline like fringe guys.

I agree. However, go to team and let's see if there's a comparable valued running back instead of old Alvin Chimera because I would rather mutilate my then nuts.

Yeah. Um, so this guy's got I mean, can you somehow get Chase Brown instead? Like even if you have to throw in another piece like I I just don't want to be in the Alvin Chimera business. I'll make the deal if I have to, but I don't want Chimera.

Yeah, I agree. Maybe you could even instead of getting Chimera, can you like um can you get Smith instead or like T-Mac?

Chase Brown.

Yeah.

Like I maybe you don't need all of those receivers, but.

I guess you kind of do though. It's a start. It's a start eight. So if you got Nico, Garrett Wilson, and Smitty or T-Mac, you'd actually be able to start most of those guys every single week, but then you'd be weaker at running. Like you're gonna start Genty and Chimera kind of sucks ass.

Yeah. Also, uh, I agree, Cats. Um, it'll take one week until he's back in the top six tight end rankings for everybody. I I agree that generally I believe that we'll look back on this as a great buy low window for Coulson Lovelin, but I'm I'm also like I kind of understand that there is a little bit of risk here because it's not like there's a bit I I I I ultimately I believe in the prospect and I think eventually he'll figure it out, but it wouldn't shock me if we go into the off season still not having seen the breakout. Like it wouldn't shock because he was raw. He was a young player. Like it wouldn't shock me if we're still like should he have broken out as a rookie? He probably should have. You know what I mean?

Yeah. I I I think he's fine, honestly.

Um, yeah.

I I don't I don't think he's scooked for reddraft at all, to be honest.

I'm kind of leaning more on the side that he'll be much better for dynasty than reddraft.

I don't disagree with that. But I also think if Bodaki, trade for him then if you really want him, although you probably don't value him like I do.

Hey, if you want a tight end, don't concade available.

Um, Garrett Wilson and Zack Z for D and Warren. I have Wilson at 24. You have him at 21. Don board. I know I have higher. I have Warren at 35 and I have Dow. Where do I have Dow? I have Dow at 68.

You have D at one. I think you're crazy for having a one.

I just don't think D is that great. I I think that this backfield is going to be a kind of a mess the rest of the year.

He's looked great. I know.

I don't have either of them ranked high for what it's worth.

Ah, that's a good That's a good point. That's a good point. I mean.

I got buzzing my cook this week though. Iss on my wire in my home link because I might have to go pick him up.

Real talk, Baky. Badaki, I'm all in on an earths week this week because um Mr. Samuel has Debo Samuel with no Terry. So, I would love for big old Zs to soak up all those targets. Big old Zack. I know will be on Danny's sleeper video. Yeah, I will say though, like if you look at my breakouts and my sleepers videos, like they were either like bad bad or they [ __ ] crushed. You were either getting Trevian on Henderson or George Pickkins. Like there was no like Oh, he was solid.

Yeah, my um I don't think my sleeper video materialized very well this year. Normally it does a lot better, but this year I don't think it did very well.

I thought you had Rico on it.

Rico? No. Why would I have Rico in my sleeper video?

Sounds a lot more like you than me.

No, but okay, maybe I'm tripping. I thought I thought we did when we did the draft, you wanted him.

Yeah, my breakouts video is exactly like what you just said your sleeper video was. Um, my two L's, Xavier Worthy, Jameson Williams, or actually three L's, Isaiah Pacheco, but then my number one and two uh breakouts were Amecha Buuka and Tyler Warren. So, three of them were like bad picks, though.

Not an ideal hit rate for for breakouts. I feel like you should hit three or four out of five.

Yeah, I I agree with that. Um, I'm going to go check mine in a second now. Okay, wait, I clicked the wrong button.

Yeah, my sleepers were not good. Austin Eckler tore his Achilles, he was my biggest sleeper. Tank Bsby got traded after week two. He was my second biggest sleeper. Jaylen Coker wasn't back on the field till week eight. Christian Kirk blew his hamstring and Dylan Samson got alphaed by Quinchon Judkins. So, yeah, my sleeper video did not age well. My honorable mentions though, however, my honorable mentions, I did say Drake May was my quarterback honorable mention and then my tight end honorable mention was in fact the Ronda Gadson. So, um, that's pretty decent at least. And I did actually mention Troy Franklin as well in my honorable mentions.

Uh, I did say Terrence Ferguson though as a late round sleeper, which is not great. Uh Jackson Dart I also mentioned as well once he starts um he could be a sleeper quarterback but yeah not a great not a great sleeper year for me uh after a couple years where I where I nailed a few.

Yeah my breakouts um Pickkins Hunter who now like going going forward we'll see what ends up happening. I would say like if you got him at the seventh round price tag probably in the more home league markets he's probably been about an average pick cuz it's like he's been bad but also if you roster him right now you project him to be better than a seventh round price tag. Obviously get the 411 in the flock league probably hasn't been worth it so far but um yeah um so those two >> obviously Henderson not great Ken Walker not great >> and I think Omari Hampton was going to crush before he got hurt so like >> yeah yeah I think he definitely would have also I would like to officially announce that we will lower the like threshold to 60. It is at 40 right now. This is very doable. There are 70 of you guys in here. So hit the like button if you guys want some free start sit and t and uh trade questions. We will hand those out to you guys if we get to 60 likes. And again, we're about 20ish away from that.

Um, on this deal, despite you having Dow and Warren ranked high, are you going with that side?

Um, how desperate are you at tight end?

Um, or wide receiver, sorry. You're actually getting the Wilson side.

I mean, he'd be getting rid of.

This guy's trading for Warren when he has McBride.

What?

Yeah. Unless this is your team and you made the deal, which is probably so that would be why he's trading Warden Warren and he'd be getting Wilson to go along with.

I think this guy made the deal already.

Huh?

Check what his username is.

Uh Vinnie 69 is his name here. It doesn't.

Um, I mean if you don't have another startable tight end, I would hold the Rico and Warren side. If you do have Gatsson, I would take Wilson and Z.

Yeah, I think I think he may have made the maybe just made the deal already or something. I don't exactly know and we're just looking at the wrong team. You know what I mean? Like the guy who traded for Warren was the one who didn't have a tight end.

Um, yeah.

But in a vacuum, I think I like the Wilson side just because I think he's the best player in the deal. But um, if you needed a tight end, I think it's fine.

Um, here we got here Kuster Heisen. Shout out.

Cedarian Lamb. CD Lamb, Travis Kelsey Addison. Yeah.

Disrespectful.

Um, it's not disrespectful, but.

I like the lamb side as well. Andy Mint here. Shout out to Andy. He's probably got fresh breath.

Quinn Sean Judkins on by. Rashad White on by. RJ Harvey versus Trevy on. I mean, Stephvenson isn't right now.

If Stevenson out, it's it's Henderson for sure.

For sure. Yeah, I would say as of now, you don't know that. So, as of now, I would go with R.J. Harvey. We're at 59 likes, by the way. So, one more and we are there. And it looks like we're at 60. So, leave your usernames in the chat. And um let us know specifically. You will only get a question if you say I want a start set question or a trade question.

And unfortunately, for those of you that are code other other codes, um it's FSE. I think we may have figured that fixed that problem, but yes.

Gotcha.

Um, in the flex, Travis Hunter is the pretty easy option for both of us, I would imagine, with a book gone by. So, there's that one.

Uh, cat's takeover trade question he has here. Uh, John, unfortunately, there is no way to switch your creator code. The only way you can would be to when your code is up, like let's say you use the monthly membership and you were code domain, um the next month like you would just basically end your subscription and then the next month you could make another account or whatever and use our code or vice versa with an annual subscription to the season pass or whatever.

Um, that is the only way that you can do it.

Yeah, dude. I could imagine now that's how people felt around me at the Bills game. Also, by the way, I appreciate you for being in here, Seb. Um, I'm trying to find you. See if you can find Seb on the site. I can't find him.

Yeah, I'll here. You start from the the top names and I will start from the the bottom names here that are down here.

Okay. Uh ambiguity, by the way, you have two accounts. One has no subscription. One has an inactive monthly flocker.

Um, whatever one he spent more money on this site, I would say is probably the one he uses.

Okay. Correct. Yeah, the one was from 2023, the one was from 2024. So, I will send you the one from 2024 because I'm assuming that's probably the new account. I sent that to you.

Yeah, maybe we didn't fix that issue if we can't see Seb the Great here if he didn't use um our code. Yeah, I'm not able to see you there. Uh Caleb, I wish I got you covered here.

I I wish one's a fraud. Wait, there's there's a fake ambiguity.

Facts. Okay, Caleb Culvin, I just sent you a start sit question. RL Zade wants a trade question.

Um, yes, Seb, for some reason, you're not showing up on my end when I check.

RL Zade, I unfortunately cannot see you either. You might have used Mason's promo code or somebody else's, unfortunately. Uh, Caro 228. Uh, Carlos, I see a Caro, no 228 on the site, but I do not see Caro28 on here. If you are just straight up Caro, then that would be you. But I do not see Caro28 on here.

Also, Anthony AJ 2003, you do not show up on my end here. Um, Arthur didn't specify. I'm just going to send you a start sit if you wanted a trade question, honestly.

Uh, probably send you translations 223. I got you covered with your start sit. Uh, Will, in the chat, I got you.

I'll say [ __ ] it, Arthur. You've been supporting. I'll send you I'll send you both.

Yeah, facts. And if and everybody who's like, "Oh, how does Arthur get to?" If you if you [ __ ] support us as much as Arthur has, I'll send you a free one as well. Like the AJ's, the Flats, whoever, whoever's in here, just Yeah, I got you guys.

Uh Kaiser WV, I have sent you a start sit as well.

You got Caleb, by the way, right?

I got Caleb. Yeah. Did you get everybody above Caleb? Because I did not look above Caleb.

Um I I'm adding in Wookie of the Year right now. Yeah, I got Cats. Um Wookie of the Year. You do not show up for me, brother.

Uh, it's Caro only. Okay. So, I'll send you one there. Carlos.

You got So, you got Zade, you got Caro, you got everybody else, right?

Uh, I believe he didn't show up for me. Uh, Zade, but Caro, yes, I have.

Sorry. Sorry, Ambigu. I was literally just saying that because I wasn't sure if I was on the right one or not. I mean, it sounded like a dick. Tell me.

You've been supporting for so long. It You're fine. Also, um, a little fun Easter egg for those of you guys that are Flock League viewers. Um, I am going to the Bills and Bucks game, uh, in week 11 and I should be meeting up with Antler Ice, who of course was one of the runners up to get in the league.

Um, and was actually present with us at the draft. So, um, I'll see if I can get a get a clip out of him while we're um, while we're tailgating. Uh, yes, Grayson, we are giving out vouchers right now. I believe I I'm not keeping track of how many we gave out, but we'll give out as many as we can here.

Um, here I will try spamming them out. Yeah, we're giving out as many as we can here. Sebastian Golia.

That one worked. That one worked.

There we go.

That's your new username, Dope, but I sent you a start.

All right, sweet. Uh, let's get back to the um questions here and then we should motor through here because we are going to have probably an influx of questions coming in.

Did you get Ralph?

Uh, no I did not. Okay. Yeah, I just saw you added one.

Uh, Rashi Rice, Kyle Pittz, Baker Mayfield, Brock Bowers. Uh, this is Rasheed Rice side for me. Yeah.

I think there's not that big of a difference between Kyle Pitts and Brock Bowers in my rankings to be honest. As big as as crazy as that sounds.

Yeah, I'm just going to pretend like you didn't say that and I'm just going to say Rashid Rice side.

Well, until I see healthy Brock Bowers.

Hey, I'm just gonna pretend like you didn't say that.

Kyle Fitz is elite. That was.

Chase Brown. Uh, Amarian Hampton.

Joe, because you asked so nicely, leave your username in.

You You asked so politely. I'll I'll send you one.

Facts. Um, warn us if you ever make it to Ray J. Some of you Some of us owe you a beer. Yeah, dude. I so little Sharky, I promise you if I ever go to Ray J, it will be in the wintertime like for a Bucks playoff game or like maybe a week 17, week 18 game or something like that because I've never been to Florida. Well, I guess technically Danny and I were in Tampa for a layover, but never been outside of the airport in Tampa. And I definitely would love to go to Ray J. And I also told Maria that the first football game she ever goes to, I would like to take her to a Bucks game in the wintertime in Florida. I think that would be a fun go for the two of us. Yeah. Um, also you mentioned you're going to go for to Bill's Bucks. Um, I am going to be going I'm probably going to look in two weeks to see my tickets because if I get it now, I'm probably going to have to overpay. Unfortunately, that's just how tickets work. The sooner closer to the date is actually the better time to do it. Um, but I'm going to try to get Thursday night game Cowboys versus Lions. I believe that's December 4th.

Is that in Detroit?

In Detroit.

Yeah. Have fun paying 600 bones for your ticket like I paid for mine.

Totally fine with that.

Detroit tickets are expensive, man. They are really expensive. Last time I was watching a Cowboys game in Detroit was 2013. And uh hopefully we just have a uh hopefully we just have a different outcome of that game. Uh the storyline of it, I mean, do I have to say exactly what happened in that game again? Probably not. I'm sure everybody.

I've heard Danny say this 476 times in my life. So.

That's I'm sure you guys know what happened in 2013. Cowboys Lions. If you don't know, go search it up. May or may not have been uh second alltime record set that day. But uh yeah, the outcome uh we saw the quarterback sneak. We're going to spike. We're going to spike. Stafford runs over the pile with the [ __ ] quarterback sneak at the end with what, eight seconds left, I think it was.

Yeah. Also, Ray J is Raymond James Stadium, not Ray J like the Kim K.

Yo. Yo.

Wait. Also, Jordan, I sent you a question. I'm just going to ignore your last name and pretend that's not what it is. Um, but.

You're lucky you're still allowed in the stream.

Yeah, you're lucky you're still allowed in the stream after that. But yeah, uh, Jobby 2 got you.

Sorry.

Oh, Joe, you asked for a [ __ ] trade. I gave you a start set. My bad. Here.

Okay. Well, I'll give him a trade since he.

I already did. I already did. I did. I did.

Oh, okay. All right. Well, we're just going to pound him with trade questions like Ray J.

Um, yo, Morty 223 here. Chase Brown. Amarian Hampton. This is Christian McAffrey, right?

Seb, by the way, that's that's insane. Could enjoy that. Um, Christian McAffrey. Yes. Um, if that's all it's cost to get Christian McAffrey. I wish I could buy Christian McCaffrey in multiple leagues.

Yep. Oh, it's going to make me log out. One second. Classic. It would be ideal if we didn't have to do this, but seems like a seems like an issue that the site should be fixing, but.

Oh, for real. Um, Lamar.

Team's too busy looking for a streamer quarterback right now to fix the site. Hey, send them [ __ ] Caleb. What?

I literally messaged Nate yesterday and asked them if they wanted Caleb Williams and they were like, "What would it cost?" I'm like, "Either a two for one or I will literally take a decent amount of fab for him if you guys want to just send me fab for him."

And what they say? I just like didn't reply.

He just he didn't reply to me. So.

Um, he then sent me his power rankings after that. So, he clearly saw saw the message. Dude, I was messaging uh w with Nate too for like whatever the cost between Addison and Sutton was because I'm like if I have to add a little bit to not have a second piece of the Minnesota offense, I'll do it. But um maybe I'm not like the right guy because I'm sure other people in the league are going to prefer um what's it called? Uh they're going to have sudden higher than me. Sorry, I completely [ __ ] zoned out um while I was.

Also um I I sent you one MV uh MVP radius.

Uh, okay, perfect. Yeah, I Justin W, you are not showing up for me, so I think you may have uh used a different code when you signed up and unfortunately we cannot see you on the back end. How can you get cheaper than Fab? Literally, I I mean like I want like a decent amount of Fab for I'm not going to do it for like five. I want like 20.

Back on the Z Flowers train, dude. Get ready for the Z Flowers Heat Seeker tonight.

Um, Suede 22. Don't want to give up Henry. Any other offers? Uh, I would do this probably for Bejon, to be honest.

Um, this is a lot to give up if you don't have the depth. It's a start eight. Like, it's need these guys for starters, but I.

I would probably do this in a vacuum for Bejon. I mean, like.

Hey, I'll tell you what, it's definitely not as much as Jefferson and Henry.

Yeah. I mean, you would be starting Rico Dattle, Taj Spears, Trey Benson types in your RB2 spot if you got rid of Henry and Vidal. Um, I can't see what your record is. If you have a good record, I'm cool doing that. But if you don't have a good record, I would probably just hold. But having Bejon and Puka as somebody who has that in his home league, I can tell you it's a lot of fun. Um, so I in a vacuum I would take the Bejon side. But if you if you don't have a ability to acquire depth in any other way, I probably wouldn't.

Also, let me address this too. Um, I will also give some benefit to Z Flowers. Prior to the Lamar injury, it was 59.9 points per game. I understand a lot of that was inflated by one week, but you're going to have.

A lot of it was deflated by one week also.

Well, you're and you're going to have spike weeks in the Ravens offense. Realistically though, you're seeing a young player taking the ascending step, a guy that everybody was willing to write in their top 12, top 15 receivers of the season. So, I'm cautiously optimistic. again, do I think that we have to bake in a little bit of maybe the progression we saw now with a bigger sample size? Like is is it still as certain as we saw in the first four weeks? That's the question I have. I can't rank him like 12th overall wide receiver like I had him. But like I still think I very win him. You have to have him have him as a mid-range wide receiver, too. And in this matchup this week against Miami with the Ravens implied for as many points as they are, you can even make the case he's a wide receiver one in fantasy this week.

Dude, only St. Brown, Nua, Wilson, Chase and JSN have a higher target share than him this year. He has a higher target share than Jefferson London Smitty Rice, Tedo McMillan, AJ Brown, Malik Neighbors when he was healthy, and Devonte Adams. Like the guy's getting a massive amount of targets and the Ravens quietly have actually had to throw a little bit more as of late as well. So, I I do think that Z Flowers will be just fine. He's gone over 70 receiving yards in like four of his last five games. Like with Lamar with Lamar Jackson out there, like he'll be fine. Um, you go on Bill or Eron Jones because I think I go Jones here.

I would as well. I I Dude, I need to see Bill do something relevant.

Yeah.

Um, I feel good about my Bill is kind of overrated takes at this moment. Maybe I'll bite it in the ass later in the season, but for as of right now, I I was never really in on Bill. So.

I guess the question I have cuz um like I'm looking through it and like on paper you think, okay, well, you know, with Washington, they do have Daniel's back. they don't have, you know, an available wide receiver, Terry, he's going to be out for this game. Maybe they rely upon the run a little bit. Maybe they score some more points just because Jaden's on the field. However, Seattle is very difficult if you're a between the tackles, first and second down back. And unfortunately for Bill, until he shows the receiving skill set, I mean, not receiving skill set is harsh, more so receiving usage. He's just not getting the work in the receiving game. Like, what did we see? Jeremy McNos pop for four for 60 last week.

Yeah. Yeah. Literally. Also, Zay is mid, man. The guy's top 10 in yards per run, top 10 in PFF receiving grade, top 10 in receptions this year. Like, what do you want? He's played with a backup quarterback half the season.

That is not fair. Like, that's not true. Like.

Literally. Yeah. Nothing about his film says mid. Like, Matt Harmon is has been on the train of like this guy could be a legit number one receiver if he played all three levels of the field.

Why is he getting the Khil Shakir comps?

He's definitely not Khalil Shakir. He's much better than Khalil Shakir. Anyways, we got to we got to motor through some questions here.

Wait, wait, red flag. Red flag. Red flag.

Yeah, come on now. Your brother's name is Justin. How old are you? Um, Pluto uh has here Jake Ferguson for T. Higgins. Um, I think I want tea here.

Yeah, if you have a tight end option you feel good about, you can go get T. Higgins, a guy that's going to be ascending. We do have reports that maybe Joe Burrow week 12, week 13 probably the timeline he comes back. Um, if the Bengals are going to be in the divisional hunt, which they should be because the Ravens have a bad record currently and the Steelers are the most fraudulent winning record team I've ever seen, at that point, as long as the the as long as Cincinnati can realistically stay one to two games under 500 by the time it reaches December, who's to say Burough doesn't start those last four games.

Yeah. No, exactly. So, um, but yeah. Um, all that being said, Tehagen is definitely a guy that I think he might have like he might be like the Jonathan Taylor of last year where like he was a bad advance rate player. First 14 weeks he didn't want to have him, but there's not many other wide receivers are I'm going to want when Joe Burrow's back.

Yeah. Yeah. No, exactly. Like Yeah. Like Ravens the run first offense. I mean, with Lamar Jackson, they threw the ball 25 times a game. With Cooper Rush and Tyler Huntley combined, 13 pass attempts a game in 18 and a half. They've been way more runheavy with the backups than they've been with Lamar Jackson.

And they haven't passed for more than 200 yards in one more than one game so far this year. And yet, Z Flowers has still been pretty good.

So, if they're still losing games and they have to win pretty much every game for the most part for the rest of the year to win their division, they're going to be throwing the ball if they got to win. If that's what they got to do to win, that's what they're gonna have to do.

Yeah. And I mean, I while I do think their defense is going to be better than it was at the beginning portion of the year, it's not like you're getting an average or above average defense. You're probably thinking at best in an optimistic setting. This can get to the 20th to 21st best defense in the league. Like I have a hard time seeing it being a top 15 defense. Baltimore.

Yeah. No, exactly. Um Ontario Lions here. Travis ETN Stefon D for Nico. Not even close. Come on now.

Um this is a Mason offer if I've ever seen one.

Yeah, literally is a Mason offer. Um should I start? Woody Marks or Zack Charbanet. Okay, so quarterbackwise I would go with Kyler assuming he's healthy because the Cowboys are in an easy match.

Monday night though. Uh so let me ask you this question. Um are you comfortable dropping Kyler Murray for Jacobe Brassette if you needed to on Monday?

Because that that might be a situation he might be in.

I think you would know before Sunday's main slate kicks off because here's the other thing. His other quarterback option plays Sunday night.

Oh, okay. No, you could probably just pivot to Darnold if you knew by Sunday at 8 8:00 PM Eastern if Kyler was going to play.

Yeah. No, I think that's reasonable.

Um, I would go to answer your main question here, I would go Woody Marks over Zack Charbanet this week. Um, I like the matchup for for Marks a little bit better because the the Broncos are pretty susceptible to pass catching running backs.

If he plays because Woody came down with a practice uh practic practice calf injury. Yeah, if he doesn't play obviously just pivot to Zach Charbanet in that situation, but assuming he's healthy, I would roll with him. Smitty's on by. JSN is back. Obviously, he's in your lineup. St. Brand in your lineup, of course, and George KD in your lineup.

Diggs and the Flex.

Uh, Diggs. Yeah, Diggs is probably the best option there, I would say.

Yeah, that was close.

Um, I bua and Bowers for Puka.

Really? Oh, I'm gonna have to talk to Badaki and Zach. how that that offer was too much for Nico apparently.

Diggs and ETN maybe they're higher on if you're high on ETN I suppose that would be maybe why you would say I'm actually lower on Nico than a lot of the people on the site too. So like that's kind of wild that they would say that.

Um also this is Puka.

Yeah, this is Puka all day. Especially know I know I know beef Fred and he had like seven first round picks in his redraft league. So yeah, go get the best assets in the deal because I know your team is an absolute [ __ ] horse.

Who should I start for week nine? Okay, so quarterbackwise Herz is on by. So, you're gonna be starting dart running backs. Um, I would point Warren over.

Yeah.

Over Chase Brown, but I think those those right two, Vidal and Warren.

Yeah, the usage for for Warren is just too good to sit right now. And I understand on surface level Indianapolis not the greatest matchup that you wanted to see in terms of specifically their rank against running backs. However, with that being said, he is a pure Bellcow and we've seen the receiving usage uptick. I wouldn't be shocked if this is, you know, a competitive game because also on paper the Colts should steamroll the Steelers, but this is the most Steelers 27 26 win I've ever seen.

Uh, yeah, pretty much.

Like they always have the knock for winning these type of games against teams that just should be beating them because.

Do you have a kicker this week?

Uh, I have Riker.

Are you gonna play him?

I mean, probably, right? Like, what else am I gonna do with him? Okay, I won't say anything then.

Oh, because I need to pick up a kicker. That's why I was going to say I was going to say something, but if you had a kicker locked and loaded, then I wasn't going to say anything.

Well, I mean, you could say it. Now, now I'm now I'm.

No, I'm not going to say I have kickers. I have waver claims in for two kickers. I don't think anybody's really going to give a [ __ ] about who my kicker is.

Yo, there was a waiver claim I wanted to make and I was trying to burn a bench spot. Listen to how stupid this is, right? I went to Nick and I said, "I'll give you a two for one for Chris Boswell. Will Riker plus Jaylen Noel for Chris Boswell if you're down." And he's like, "I like Bos too much. I can't do it."

Bos the beast, man.

Dude, I can't even make a two for one for a [ __ ] kicker right now.

Dude. Boswell's going to have a 15 plus point per game uh day because the Colts are the biggest Ben don't break defense in the league. like they have one of the highest like yards or uh um plays per drive of any team in the league, but they're also like a really good red zone defense. So like they're kicker central.

I don't blame him, but like also though like for his team, wouldn't like hitting on a Jayla Noel be like his best interest to avoid the toilet bowl?

Yeah, probably.

So is that just how little value [ __ ] end of bench people are in this league because everybody blends in? Yeah, and this is a really good point, Galaxy. Like I in this league this year, for example, like why part of why I'm doing so much better, dude? Chase Mclofflin and and the Chargers defense combined for 29 points for me last week. 29 for my kicker and defense. And you know what? That's the fourth time that's happened this year for me.

Wait, also.

My kickers and defenses have been elite. Corey, I just realized not only do I have Jefferson and Addison this week, but I got Will Riker. We're talking about a Vikings trifecta in the lineup.

Trust me, when I match up Zar this week and in the thing I was like, I like Sammy because Danny is putting way too much faith in JJ McCarthy this week with two Vikings receivers and Will Riker.

You think I'm gonna lose?

Uh, well, I mean, I do think that this is a close matchup between the two of you and it's kind of a tossup. Um, so I did make Sammy the slight favorite.

Wow. Um, we'll see where people land on that. I credit to Sammy. You're a great guy. I don't think there's a [ __ ] chance in the world I lose to you this week. I'm going to say.

Clip that. Clip that.

Right now.

I Dude, I'm confident in my team. We're finally operating at a at a point where I'm looking up and down in my lineup and I feel confident every single spot.

All right. 10.

I haven't been able to say that.

Said he's not going to lose to Sammy this week.

Go ahead. Go ahead. You're going to hear the same thing in the trade or the the call anyways.

I know, but if it'll be funny if if you lose, then I can we can play this at the end of the the week. Um, Nico Collins versus T-Mac, I guess, is the decision. Maybe Kenneth Walker or Chase Brown, but probably not. Probably Collins here, I would imagine.

Yeah.

No Certan for the Broncos.

Yeah, you got to go Collins.

Yeah.

Also, brother, we're not doing this spam [ __ ] Onions. See you later.

Put some onions on that beach. have uh how about we don't do that. Okay, let me double check how many questions we have so we know how fast we got to go here. Uh we have 22 questions and one super chat and it looks like somebody Ralph submitted a team review as well. Um okay, so let's boogie here. Uh wide receiver question, Quinton Johnson versus Stefon Diggs this week. I think.

Diggs.

I think I want Diggs, but I actually really like I don't have the balls to do this because QJ was has been really bad for the last couple games, but I do think this could be a really nice bounceback spot for him this week.

I don't disagree. I have QJ ranked wide receiver.

Will you start in between him and Gatsson and the flex here in the same question?

Uh, I'd go Gatsson.

You'd start him over Gatsson?

I I do. No, no. I'd go I'd go Gatson, but I do have QJ ranked wide receiver 27. The guy that I got buried is Keenan, dude. Guess how many roads he played last week.

How many?

50%.

Oh, dude. I lad to the moon, man. Lad to the [ __ ] moon. That's all I care about is lad being an absolute monster because I drafted this guy over Josh Jacobs and it made me want to die. Um, based off.

And I also got sniped on Jonathan Taylor who I thought I was getting the whole week in Austin. You guys heard me talk about it. I'm like, I'm pretty sure I'm going to end up with Bejon and Jonathan Taylor. And boy, do I wish I would have.

Also, uh, just keep in mind, uh, when you did those betting odds for mine and Sammy's matchup, Sleeper currently has Keenan Allen projected for two more points than Jordan Addison. Let me.

I looked at your matchups and looked through everything. Don't worry, I went through everything. I just I just didn't like that your half of your team is reliant on Lions on the road with JJ McCarthy. Yeah. I mean I I got the two lines that you or the three lines that you would want realistically you mean?

Yeah. Like if you were to pick three Vikings you would want like that you feel safest about it would be Addison Jefferson and the kicker.

At this current at this current point.

Fair enough.

Like the ones I'm worried about are like Hawinson and the scoring equity of the running backs if I'm going to be fully transparent.

Yeah. I mean Hawinson's [ __ ] garbage. So.

Yeah. At least with Addison and Jefferson, it's like they they get behind one play and they're good enough players to do it. Like JJ McCarthy is not going to miss a [ __ ] five behind the [ __ ] deep safety deep ball. So.

He will. But uh Bam Knight's the running back there for me. Flex decision. Nico Collins versus Addison. Pretty straightforward. Nico Collins there. Anything else that you.

Think everything set properly there. You're not starting Harvey over either of those two guys.

Seems reasonable.

Um Zack here, uh running back, Kamani Vidal, Chase Brown, JK Dobbins. Um, got to be Kamani Vidal for one of these. And then I would say probably Chase Brown over Dobbins against the Texans. That's a really tough matchup. I think Chase Brown versus the Bears a little bit more favorable there.

Yeah, you go Chase.

Um, yeah. Yeah, you go Chase Brown.

And then there you'd have to pry Lad McConi out of my cold dead hands this week against that [ __ ] defense, man. I think he's gonna go nuclear.

I think Wadd probably the second guy here.

Um, Wadd. Yeah, I think Waddle probably is the second guy here. And I mean.

Unless un Oh, wait. Is that Jake Ferguson? You Jake Ferguson over Waddle.

I don't know, dude. Craft is there, too.

Oh, Craft over both. Craft. Craft. Craft's amazing.

Dude, you have Ferguson and Craft. That is a loaded tight end core.

Who else does he have over Lad in the wide receiver spot?

He had Romo Dunay and Justin Jefferson.

Gotcha. Okay. I was going to say if he had like a weak.

Wide receiver, I would I would go triple tight end. Yeah, triple tight end. It's definitely viable. I can't wait. I'm 12 and four because there's a league median, and I've been starting three tight ends every single week. I have Tucker Craft, um, Kyle Pitts, and Harold Fannon, and in tight end pre, it's 2x tight end premium. I've been starting three tight ends pretty much every single week.

Oh yeah. No, and you feel dynamite with that, dude. I'll tell you. Um, um, friendly cricket here. Ashton Jurgens, Tyler Warren for St. Brown and Kelce. Um, I think the difference between Kelce and Warren is smaller than the difference between St. Brown and Jurgens. As far as point production is concerned.

It's a 22 point per game receiver, um, in a full. I might have to move Kelce up my overall rankings. To be honest, I don't think he belongs 112. I think he's probably more of like a 95 player, kind of. He's like the, the start of the, like the, the head of the streaming tight end here, though. Like, tight end lover indeed. In fact, um, I do when all of my dynasty rosters are just packed to the brim of Harold Fannon and Aronald Gadson and Tucker Craft because they've been some of my biggest sleepers over the last couple of years.

Uh, by the way, full transparency, if you wanted to take a, I would say because everybody was talking about, oh, tight national tight ends week this week, this and that, and obviously Ferguson had a goose egg in the lineup. But I'm telling you right now, knowing how the couch Cowboys coaching staff and Dak operates, if you put a bet in for Ferguson, two plus receiving touchdowns in a 54 and a half over under game environment, not the worst way you can spend some money.

No. No, definitely not. Um, Kyren Williams straight for Drake London. I think I prefer Drake here. Let's say you were in dire straits at running back. Do you do this? No.

No. I would need at least Derrick Henry. Yeah, I think Barkley, Henry, or Javonte would probably be the guys that you need to get in the.

Krohn's fine, but like I just London, I can envision being a guy you need in a playoff stretch. Kyren, I. The footballers called him a Ford Taurus. Kyren Williams. He's like steady Eddie. You know you're going to get a low RB1.

Driving past a luxury car dealership in your Ford Taurus going, "I wish you were not a Ford Taurus." But like, you're reliable. You get me there. You know. He's a great RB2. If you have him as an RB2, you feel great. Yeah, if you have him as your best player on your team, like Nick, unfortunately, not a great idea. Not a great situation. Powers is the best player on his team when healthy.

I, I'm trolling him. He knows. I love you, Nick. There goes my mortgage on Ferg touchdown prop. That's funny. Um, Kyren Williams for Drake. Same kind of trade. This is funny that they're not the same person who submitted this. This is hilarious. It's Rasheed Shaheed and Kyren Williams for Drake London from a different person.

Yeah, I'll take London here. Yeah, I'm still taking London. Shaheed doesn't really move the needle. Also, shout out another staff infection we got going here. Um, wow, I worded that wrong. Um, we do have a staff infection. Staff infection. Your your comments in four. So, we'll I see it right here. We'll get to it in a second.

All right. Need running back help. Other teams aren't doing trades. Trey McBride and Dameon Pierce exchange for Zay Flowers and DeAndre Swift. Sure. If you need running back, running back help, need. I think this is about fair. Okay. If you have a tight end that's that's giving you decent production right now, like maybe you picked up picked up a Gadson.

Gadson. Yeah. What are the odds of that? Yeah, go make this deal. People everywhere on every universe are trying to trade Trey McBride, George Kittle, and Jake Ferguson and Tucker Kraft because they picked up Aronald Gadson. Literally though. And I mean like I don't blame them. You're going to try to accumulate roster value at other positions because you hit a home run on the waiver wire. And you know what's crazy, Bush? Do you remember I had the highest bid for Gadson in the Flock League? And then last second when we were talking, I'm like, but like, do I really need Gadson? I already have Kraft. I already have Lovett, and I don't want to drop Lovett. Do I want to be stuck in a situation with three tight ends? And I told you, I'm like, I'm going to lower my bid to 17 as a keep you honest bid because I'm assuming somebody's going to outbid me. If I had kept it at $24, I would have won him.

I mean, you unless you're going to flex him every week, though. Nobody's trading for him in this league. Oh, but but like at that point, I probably would inquire about Tucker Kraft to see if I can use him and a receiver or running back to upgrade. Maybe. Yeah. I mean, even still, though, like people wouldn't give you what you want to get for Tucker Kraft just given this this league environment. Like, I know Mason had very, very big interest in Kraft. Yeah, that's fair. Um, Caleb Williams or Daniel Jones this week? I'm, I'm going Daniel Jones for sure.

I'm not sitting Daniel Jones until he shows me why he should be sat. Yeah. Daniel Jones. Definitely the best play there with Bree on by. I have Daniel Jones ranked straight up above Justin Herbert this week and Bo Nix this week. Like, Bo Nix Nix is buried in my rank. Texans are [ __ ] no joke defense. So I have him buried in my, he's like a quarterback 14 in my rankings this week. But, uh, I do have, uh, I do have Herbert one spot higher than Danny Diamonds this week. So I like the, the Titans defense. If if Jeff Simmons isn't playing again.

Like, holy crap, the. Where was Drake May? Yeah. Where was Drake May? I did not see Drake May in that question. No, he wasn't. He wasn't. Oh, yeah. I think he's he's asking his own question there. Drake Drake May, quarterback four, man. Um, I, I love Daniel Jones, quarterback seven this week. Drake May, what I just said about Daniel Jones being a 20 point per game scorer. Drake May's had almost 22 points per game with a 50% route rate. Stefon Diggs as his number one wide receiver.

Yeah. Um, sorry. Yeah, you're premium. You playing Hunter Henry or Rashi? Let me see what Hunter's user has been. I mean, Shaheed's that guy that, you know, like I could throw him out there and he might catch a 75-yard bomb, but he also might have three fantasy points. That's kind of exactly what you expect out of Rasheed Shaheed on any given week. Tyler Shuck is starting at quarterback. So, I think the likelihood of a 70-yard touchdown gets, uh, marginally worse than if Rattler was playing quarterback. I'd probably go with Hunter Henry unless you tell me something crazy about his usage. Yeah, I mean, he hasn't gotten more than five targets in a game since week three. So, if he's running routes, I don't really care. I mean, he hasn't eclipsed over 50 receiving yards since week three. Yeah. I mean, I still think he's a better shot for, like, in this situation, you're kind of just hoping for a touchdown, and he's a better shot to score a touchdown than Shaheed in my opinion. With Shuck. Yeah.

Um, Tyler sucks. Hear me out. Matthew Golden. No, not. Why not? Because he isn't getting the reps and Christian Watson will probably get ramped up. Christian Watson was also limited, by the way. Um, yeah, and even with Christian Watson playing, he played about 70% of the snaps. I'm curious what the routes were. 76. Um, but he has eclipsed 10 fantasy points just once this entire season, ironically, against me when I played against him against Nick. Um, but, yeah, I don't know, man. Like this feels like the weakest do genuinely. Maybe. I just don't. Compared to those other options. It's not like we're dealing with [ __ ] world beaters here. Like they're all they're all putting your lineup and hope for a spike week. And to me, Green Bay with their implied points against Carolina has the biggest spike week potential knowing that Shuck's starting. If if Rattler was starting, I'd go Rattler. But I don't know, man. Like Hunter Henry's just been [ __ ] horrible. He's been bad. But Drake May's been awesome and Hunter Henry could score a touchdown. Yeah. I mean, I don't think it's outrageous. I mean, they're both [ __ ] dart throws, so.

I was thinking a 13-man set for my team review. Um, Zach's the next question that we have here. Hunter/Rome with Rhamondre Stevenson return is RB. Okay, so. What? I mean, the [ __ ]. I don't know what this question means. Zach, you're in the chat. Can you clarify what you mean by this question? It looks like you may have ran out of characters here. I think he's saying he's asking for the trade. I think he's saying Hunter, like which one would it be? And then he's also giving up Rhamondre and Stevenson. Hunter? No, no, no. Should I give up Rhamondre with Stevenson in return? Even if [ __ ] Rhamondre was the starter for the rest of the season. Give me [ __ ] Puka. What? Yeah, this isn't even. Yeah, even if this is H. Even if you added Rome to this deal, I would take Puka instead of it's Hunter or Rome. If you added Rome to this deal, I would still take Puka. Puka. Facts.

Um, also staff infection said read the comments. Um, did you say anything in the comment section? Um, um, read in the DMs of the trade question. Got it. Do you need me to go search for that? Yeah, he's I got it. I got it here. He said, "Picks that I submitted are off." He said, "Please see below. On my side, I would be sending a 2026 mid to late first and a projected early to mid-first in 2027. In order to get Nico Collins and a a 2027 second and a 2028 first, I had to enter it as 2027." So, the um, okay on my side. Okay. So, yeah, he would be giving up what to do. Uh, what do you guys think? I'm rebuilding and have quite a bit of draft capital. So he's giving up a mid to late one in 2026 and a projected early to mid-one in 2027 for a 2028 one, a 272 Nico and Dalton Kincaid.

So a 2026 late mid to late one, a 2027 early to mid-one in exchange. One is on on the on the calling side and then a 27 um early to mid-second on there. So it's essentially the way I would look at it is like Nico and the early to mid-first in 2027 are probably about equal, and then the mid to late one for the 28 first, the 207 second and Dade. I make this deal every single time. Yeah. I mean, he said he's rebuilding and he's got a one and seven record. So he'd be buying an asset who's 27 years old. You're buying low, though. Like, to me, Nico Collins, the minute he shows back 17 plus point per game upside, he's going to be worth two ones on his own. Yeah. It's like, to to me, you're getting at it enough of a discount to not worry about team context. Yeah. Plus, you have no idea where that 281's going to end up being, too. Um, you're buying it pretty far in advance, and if you're rebuilding, then that could be a valuable asset for you. Sorry, insane comment by Clifton. I hope he gets used to pancakes. I, I'm going to be curious to see if they have gluten-free stuff there for him. He's also, I think he's also dairy-free, maybe. Or maybe he's just dairy-free. I can't remember. Dude, he said if he is at the Denny's because he can't eat anything, he might have to sit the whole 24 hours. Genuinely, you can get this on record. If if I win the league, I'll do like a quarter of the challenge. So, like say he's at 24 hours and a pancake like takes one off, I'll go for six hours and every pancake deletes one. I'll give him some company.

Yeah. Or this homeless man that S's going to hire can eat some of the pancakes for him. Um, I do feel. I'm glad all I had to do was wear a t-shirt. So. And ride a scooter and all the other made-up [ __ ] punishments you guys made up the week of the draft. You're like, "Hey, wouldn't it be funny if because Cory lost the league, we make up five more punishments that none of us agreed upon?" Dude, I love how the limo comes. You're about to walk in and then Ma is like, "Wouldn't it be funnier if we just didn't let him on the limo?" Yeah. I'm like, "How about we also decide this before the league starts instead of just deciding the day the limo?" Like, literally 10 minutes before the limo got there, Mason goes, "We're going to not let Bush take a ride in the limo and instead make him ride the scooter." I'm like, "This was 10 minutes before the [ __ ] limo came." Then he decided this. I found out as we were walking in the limo, I'm like, "Is Cory walking in?" And then Mason's like, "No, he came in last." One of these days Mason come. If Mason came in last, it would be generational content. No, no, bro. You You are actually [ __ ] hilarious, by the way, cuz I sent it in the [ __ ] le chat, but some random guy, it's the Jesse guy that always, for whatever reason, glues Mason and always talks [ __ ] about you in the comments. He said some [ __ ] in the comments and then you're just like, "Fam, I'm in fourth place right now and I've traded pretty well." Yeah. He literally goes, "Bush is so bad at redrafted." I'm like, "I'm in fourth place. What do you mean?" Yeah. No, but like the way you said it had me [ __ ] crying. It's like, "I'm in fourth place and I've done some pretty good trades." I mean, that's exactly what Danny, it no one responds to more comments than you. Like, no, I know. I know. It was just funny the way you worded it cuz it's like it sounded like you were bragging to him, but he was trolling you. Maybe.

Um, Nico and Garrett Wilson for George Pickens, Kmet, and Rhamondre. Yeah, give me Nico and Garrett here. Hey, big dumps 42. Shout out. Yeah, Arthur, I recorded that right after the first first possession when we got a pick and it was all downhill from there. Yeah, that's bad. Um, also, dude, by the way, I messaged this to Nick. I see this comment. Nick's [ __ ] whiteboard at the end, like as the outro was perfect because it goes from me basically saying like, "It doesn't matter what I did in the first eight weeks, it matters what I do in the next nine." And like that's like the post or the ending. And then Nick put like the post-credit scene in. That was like, Yeah, I know. I saw it. It was funny. Yes, sir. Uh, Odun gonna be in your lineup assuming he plays. Tight end wise, Kittle or Ferguson this week? Both. I mean, probably going to be both. Let's see the flex. Uh oh, I thought that was Josh Jacobs. Yeah, Travis Hunter plays if he's if he's in. If he's not, you go. Uh, let me Ferguson. Yeah. No, no, I know. I know. I was just going through it. Um, I have Ferguson one spot higher. I love the touchdown equity for the Cowboys in a 54 and a half over under game. Okay. I think if Kittle plays, it's Kittle. If he doesn't play, it's Ferguson. That would be the way I would look at it. They're tight end five and six in my rankings in the same tier. Yeah, I don't think we're going to get Kittle this week. Doesn't look like it, at least. Like unless I'm missing something, but I think we would know by now if he was going to start. Um, update Kittle out on the 49ers. Yeah, I think there's probably not going to play. And Zach, you won't find a guy that's higher on Hunter than me, but I think at this very point, me saying that he has the same type of trade value as Romeo Doubs would be outlandish. Like Romeo Doubs has proven he's a wide receiver one. Do I fully think that after the buy, Travis Hunter can be what Romeo Doubs has been? Sure, but like Romeo Doubs is already there. Like I would be delusional to say, yeah, two weeks he could be where Romeo Doubs is when you have. If Hunter has 25 fantasy points, Danny, let's be honest here. You're going to rank him in the same tier. So you could just stop. You could stop kidding yourself. It's gonna take one game for you to say he's there. What is that? Mega sauce. I was trying. But what's the [ __ ]? It's the stupid [ __ ] mischievous. Austin Powers thing. No, no, no. Mischie. No, no, but the the There's a mischievous face. Also, the mini me with the f with the pinky. Yeah, that's what I thought you were doing. That would have been better. $1 million. Yeah, that would have been better. Yeah, I could have done that, too. You were just sucking your finger. I don't know what the hell you were doing. No, no. There there's the [ __ ] like the mischievous [ __ ] If you know what the [ __ ] I was thinking of, then feel free. You probably didn't because I'm a [ __ ] idiot, but hey.

616 here. Would you rather have Jordan Mason or Woody Marks rest of the season? I mean, I think Mason's going to be in a backfield by committee the rest of the year, unless Aaron Jones goes down again. That would be backfield by committee's generous to Mason. Yeah. Jones alpha him first game back. I mean, I'm not ready to say that that's going to happen every week. I think that could have been a game script thing as well. I think it could just ping pong between those two guys and you're going to just absolutely hate your life for rostering either of them. Yeah. Uh, I will say another factor, by the way, uh, in terms of the volume, I mentioned this on the Dynasty stream, in the two games that we saw with JJ McCarthy, we saw the Vikings defense look like one of the best units in the NFL. These last four or five weeks, they've really been exploited. Yeah, they've been pretty bad. Um, Max Bartlett pairs. Uh, classic Bartlett pairs. I always buy those. Um, one wide receiver and one flex spot debating Terry McLaurin, Diggs, and Knight. Um, so McLaurin is definitely the receiver for me. And then I I'd probably play Knight over Diggs, man. I dude, I'm telling you, man. Um, Carter gets added to the practice squad. Demario DeMarcado. Wow. Amari DeMarcado. Uh, limited in practice today. Bam Knight against a defense that's, I mean, I already talked about this stat, 5.35 yards before contact per attempt against the Broncos last week. Um, and a game that has a 54 and a half over under. The Cardinals are implied for 26 home points. Bam Knight gets all the goal line usage. What's stopping him from popping in 63 yardishing yards and two rushing touchdowns this week?

Yeah. Yeah, I think that's the upside. Plus, isn't it fun when you have two players going on Monday Night Football and your opponent has to sweat? I'm so happy this week that I'm the one with the player on Monday Night Football with Marvin going against Bidaki as opposed to me having to literally clench my cheeks together for Travis Kelce to not score more fantasy points last week. That was frightening that he scored that touchdown. I was [ __ ] bricks for the last fourth the whole fourth quarter of that game. Cory, half my lineup is Vikings. The other half plays on Monday night. Yeah, facts. Um, Mountain Man Mike here. Justin Herbert in a redraft one quarterback. Uh, Herbert's not worth this, man. Yeah, Gadson's better than Herbert as an asset in this deal. So, definitely not doing that. Also, a little bit of news. Maria and I are getting a cat. Nice. Meow. Yeah, I'm a dog person admittedly, so I lost that battle. But, um, dogs are a lot more work for what it's worth. So, and I I had both growing up. I had a cat and a dog, so I like both, but I just do prefer dogs. So that in two or three years when you have when you have your choice, you just say I want a dog and there you go. Now you got a dog and a cat. A dog is the thing you get once you have children. That's the thing that that's when I would get it. Um, get one because getting a dog, you basically in my mind, cuz like we travel a lot. Maria travels a lot. Once you get a dog, you can't really travel that much at least together because like then you have to get someone to come sit your dog and stuff like it's a pain in the ass. So. Like what do you do with the cat then? Like you just leave. But with a cat, like a cat sitter is a lot less of a responsibility. You can have someone come once a day and look in on your cat. You don't like you can't have someone come in once a day to look in on your dog. They have to pretty much be there all the time or close to it. Yeah, cats are pretty low maintenance. They're like. Yeah, they are pretty low maintenance. Like we when I was a kid, my cottage, we used to go to my cottage for like a week or two at a time and my cat would just be, cuz he was an outdoor cat, just leave enough food out for him for two weeks and he would just be good to go. And like once or twice a week, somebody would come in across the street and look in on him. He was an outdoor cat. He he basically killed his own food. Turn a profit and sell that thing. Keep your your cat's teeth clean. Just had to drop 5K on dental work for my cat. Bro, there's no shot I'm dropping 5K on a cat. I I'll just keep it I'll keep it a buck there. You're saying you're not flipping cats like Dynasty assets? Yeah. But it's Yeah, I'm a trade I'm such a trade addict that I I raise this cat to be like a purebred and like cat shows and then I sell high on them. Just put your dog outside with some me food. Easy money. You can't do that with dogs. Oh my god. Cat third. That'd be a rookie third. This motherfucker's going to get a deal he's considering and the cat's just going to bang it on his phone and accept it. Yeah, that's a good meme. My cat accepted my trade. Cat in a second for a German Shepherd. Dude, I I would love a German Shepherd. Maria doesn't like. Objectively, have you ever had a dog, Danny? No, I haven't had a pet. So, my aunt had a cat when I was growing up, but I I was like, okay, so like my dad technically had pets, but I was never at his house. Um, sorry, that was weird. Lore. Anyways, uh, but at my mom's house, like I had a goldfish once when I was three or four years old and somebody forgot to feed it for like a [ __ ] week because I came back home from summer camp and it was like just floating upside down. That wasn't ideal. Um, aside from that, um, with this the cat, um, and like again, like my my dad, he technically had a cat or he had two cats. Um, but like I was always allergic to like the type of cats he had because it was technically the the the wife-in-law. Um, or that the the stepmom. Step or step. Sorry. Sorry. I have a weird one. Wife-in-law. I guess that's technically correct. Mom-in-law. Mom-in-law, I guess, not wife-in-law. That would be weird. Yeah, I don't know. Whatever the [ __ ] you call either way. Um, yeah, that that that that's was the scenario. I just remember as a kid one time I was late for school because I woke up cuz the cat got locked in the room and pissed all over me when I was sleeping and I was like, And now Danny to this day loves getting pissed on. Um, I have a German Shepherd lab mix. Yeah, my my So, I still consider this my The other reason I don't want to get a dog yet is because I still have a dog. My parents' dog is my dog because, yeah, she was when I moved out of my parents' house, she was five or six. So, and I trained I trained that dog. Like all the tricks it knows and [ __ ] is like me. So, I I technically still have a dog. No, like I can't confirm he did have a cat. I didn't mean he kind of had a cat. He kind of had a cat. Also, KRS need it. Um, Vlad McConkey in an early one for Brock Bowers in a non-tight end premium Dynasty League. I'd probably take the side. Yeah, McConkey side. That that that's like a third round pick plus a early to mid-first for a second round pick. And to be honest, I think that's good process. If you got offered, you're 205, 206 is on the clock right now. I mean, for a 305 and an early to mid-first, I'd probably take that. Yeah, I I I think I would do that as well. Um, um, Caleb here, one of the. Jobby did say something about context, by the way. Uh, let me see the comments. Did he? Okay. I have Lamadre and Hunter and five. Is it worth losing Lad to get Bowers? I just don't know if it's worth it. Yeah, I wouldn't give up a first on top of Vlad for him. Yeah, no. We got you, Joe. Don't worry, brother. Um, okay. So, Caleb here, he's got a start-sit question. Uh, Bree's on by. Judkins obviously on buy as well. Trey Benson still injured. I mean, you don't have another option. You got to play Trevon Henderson. So, here's hoping that Rhamondre doesn't play this week because that would uh help get a lot of Danny's 12th place best baseball teams into 11th place as well. Uh, Gadson and you going Jawan or J. Mo? I would start J. Mo. Anytime you have like a [ __ ] decision and you don't want to start anybody, I think a guy like J. Mo is always a good process play because he could just always catch a 70-yard touchdown. Can I overrule one thing actually? I mean, J. Mo's also getting the squeaky wheel gets the grease talk right now too, and I think there's a chance he has a decent game as a result. Actually, I'm not going to overrule. I think Jawan Jennings isn't a good enough option. I will say one thing though. Uh, he does play the Giants. Um, and got seven targets last week. I guess, but he's playing with like 17 broken ribs. Yeah. Um, yeah, I mean, four for 45 is a better median than anything J. Mo does, but at the same. Yeah, let's um, let's rip these questions and then I think we should have time to get to Ralph's team review before we're done here because we only have six questions left, so we should be good. Let's just do the the questions first. What's it at, cats? It's got to be 0.5 yards for me to even consider it, by the way. Because he went he went lower than that in the full game last time we saw him on the field. I to be fair, though, like the way they're talking about him coming out of the buy, it sounds like they're going to strip some plays for him to get the ball in his hands. I'm I'm mostly trolling. Yeah. Yeah, I was mostly trolling. Um, it's w 38 and 40. That's the way we have Jennings and J. Um, you're going Dos over these guys, right? Yeah. Um, I might consider Pierce the flex, though. Um, well, okay. What's the status of Mooney? Because he's been limited. Um, let me. What's the What's the status of Penn also? Because I need to see Penn out there as well. Yeah. And I mean, what's the status of London, too? Holy [ __ ] The [ __ ] the Falcons are cooked. I think that this is going to be a vintage Bijan rushes for 20 yards, but catches seven passes for 110 through the air. Corey. Um, I got another factor here. If Josh is out, this is very easy. Alec Pierce. He's not going to be. He's upgraded to full today. Oh, he got upgrade. Okay. He was limited last last practice I saw. Practice today. Did DeAndre hit didn't return to full today, right? Uh, no, he did not. He actually, I don't think he even practiced at all today. If that's the case, Manungai would be the best. If everybody was out, I would rank it Henderson, Manungai, Pierce, Mooney. Yeah. Based on what the likeliness of all this stuff is, I would say that it's most likely that Stevenson will be out. Like he he hasn't practiced two days in a row and the Patriots are reportedly shopping for a running back at the deadline, which to me sounds like he might have an injury that they're worried about. I agree. Um, so I think Henderson might be your best option here. Also, uh, Dev Nate, I see you in here. Talk to me, brother. Talk to me. Uh, yeah, send me some fab for Caleb Williams, you cheap [ __ ]. So, so I I have to say this, right? So Joe asked me, he's like, "You like do you do you want Sutton?" And I'm like, "Well, how much would you guys want on top of Addison for Sutton? Like if it's like a reasonable price like I have at wide receiver 23 and 27." And Joe just says, "Go to one of the other devs like like to talk because like I don't know." So I go to Nate and I message him. I'm like, "What would you guys need?" And you're like, and Nate was like, "Let me consult the team. What's like what's the answer? I'm so confused. Like how many how many levels of approval does it have to go?" A lot. A lot. Apparently I uh Devon Nate and I was like, "Hey, would you guys be interested in a two for one involving Gibbs or uh JSM?" He goes, "Yeah, that is fact." He goes, "Instantly everybody disagreed with that opinion." Like there I was like, "Even if I offered you two really good players for Gibbs and JSM and you wouldn't consider it." They're like, "No, instant. We're never trading those guys." I'm like, "Okay, fair enough. Uh, no, I get it, Nate. I'm I'm mostly trolling, but let me know by the weekend because if we can make something work, I'm down. Um, I would prefer not to have both Vikings receivers, but, you know, if you're It just really depends on the cost because I have 23, 27. I understand there is a little bit of a tier difference. This is a good question. I just quickly want to address. If you're if it's your first time playing in multiple leagues, I would say by law of averages, you probably won't pick on the same part of the board in most leagues. I would imagine if you're in like three leagues, you're probably not going to get the same draft pick in every single one. But if by on the off chance you have the opportunity to draft multiple players, we're team conviction over diversification. We always have been. So depending on how high of a pick it is, obviously if it's like a first round pick or something, you want to go with the other guy because you want to diversify a little bit. Sure. But like if you were in three leagues and you drafted a Michael Wilson in the seventh round and all three of them, then you're pretty happy right now. You know what I mean? Like if you had conviction that he was a great pick. So later down the board, I I throw diversification out the window. Well, let me ask you this, Corey. Obviously cuz like in the first and first first and second round basically like I understand diversifying in multiple leagues like it makes sense like if you have the same pick and you have value same tier sure that's one thing specifically in like rounds three on though like I agree like doesn't matter like if you value somebody as a fourth round pick and they go in round six take them in round five every single time like I I I don't get the [ __ ] of well I actually have them in two leagues so like I'm going to divers no no like not a chance I'm not taking a suboptimal projection es like if I like both players then I'll do But if I if there's a player I don't like on the board, I'm not drafting him for the sake of diversification. I I refuse. I mean, yeah, and the portfolio is both loving and hating that aspect of me, but that's how I play. Should move to Alberta with that attitude. Facts. Um, uh, Ambiguity has Garrett Wilson versus JK Dobbins. Come on, Ambigu. We, you knew what way we were going with this one. Yeah, all day. Ambiguity. All day. Um, Kaiser here. Is this gonna let me go to the next question? Come on. There we go. Um, Aronald Gadson and Warren. I guess this is just a start-sit between these two guys. Um, I have Warren higher. They are currently tight end tight end. They're three and seven for me. Three and seven. I guess the difference probably we have Kraft and Warren swapped. Yeah. Yeah, I think starting Warren is just a must a must start this week against the uh against the Steelers the way that they play. Uh, just want you all to glaze the best team. Okay, so we'll glaze it. Uh, Devon Achane, uh, Jaylen Warren gonna be in your lineup there. Wide receiver wise, you're gonna have Puka. This is team, isn't it? Uh, Puka. Odun. Yeah, this is a listener league team. Oh, Odun. Uh, look at this. Injury Optimus rostering Brandon Aiyuk. [ __ ] fraud. Did he get him from you or did he draft him? He tried to trade him to me after he got him. He got him in the Puka deal, remember? Oh, right. Um, Theo Johnson or or Noah Fant. Dylan, buddy, you missed. We gave out tons of vouchers. You just weren't here. No Fant or Theo Johnson this week. So, we got what, Giants against the 49ers. Pretty good game environment for that matter. 48 and a half over under. Giants quietly implied for 23 points. So, not a bad spot for Theo. Um, at the same time with with uh Noah Fant, good match against Chicago, even better game environment, more implied points. I have them 20 and 21 respectively. I have Fant higher. Yeah, I think that's if if Flacco doesn't play, I would roll with Theo. That would be my opinion on it. Um, in the flex, this is kind of rough. I remember Arthur's team kind of being ass outside of because after he traded for Puka, he got rid of all of his depth and I was like obviously you have Puka and Josh Allen and Achane. So like you have some studs but like outside of that he's kind of rough. I mean Kareem Hunt's probably going to be in your lineup there because. Probably in the Titan Premium. Theo over these guys. I mean most of them have by weeks and are out. I mean just Tez is the only one with buy and IU and Fant in. Are you starting Tory Horton? No, I I think practicing. Kirk practiced. You could go with Kirk. In a tight end premium, give me Theo Johnson over Kirk all day. Yeah, I mean R.J. Harvey is not gonna score three touchdowns again. So. That's my pro That's my problem with it, too. Um, Yeah. Hey Arthur, your depth doesn't matter when you're seven and one, right? I'm sorry. This is a hilarious interaction. He goes, "I had a [ __ ] therapist appointment." And then Cats goes, "Therapy didn't work, Dylan. You're still asking for vouchers." So that was. For different something different. Yeah. No, I'm sure. It was therapy for fantasy. That would be something I would have needed a long time ago. Um, Jurgens or Rhamondre? I Dude, I have Kamani Vidal over Jurgens this week. Spicy. Let me see though. It's a Titans with no Haskins. Um, I'm [ __ ] trolling you. I have Kamani Vidal at RB1 this week. Um, they're starting 12 in my rankings right now. Um, okay. So, Sebastian, uh, also this is his team. Um, yeah, perfect. So, I would go with Vidal there. Um, and Adams. Can you get both in? Oh, yeah. I'd play I'd play Adams overall. You have to play Adams overall. Yeah, you got to play Adams over Vidal. I mean, Kyren I have Kyren and Javonte both ahead of Vidal and those guys too, but like, yeah. Yeah, honestly, I think that's the lineup I would put out. The main conversation would be between Vidal and Adams, but because it's a start seven PPR league, it is also the first Puka week back. Do we see Puka completely out of 100% of his usage? Like that's another factor. Um, I have a top 10. They're going to beat the [ __ ] out of them. I have Adams as a top 10 wide receiver this week. Yeah, Adams a top 10 receiver for me, too. If you if you really were like, "Okay, I'm worried because I'm already starting Kyren or something like that. If you're worried they're not like they're going to get ahead or something, if you wanted to start Vidal, I don't think it's outrageous, but I probably would start Adams." And yeah, I would leave Jurgens on the bench, man. I like Jurgens against the Jags defense, like that's a pretty tough matchup. And Jurgens has not been like an every week starter. Like he he should be based on where he was drafted, but he hasn't been. Um, he's been up and down based on the usage and the game script. And the Jags are probably going to win that game. So, um, yeah.

Conor G52 here. Do I need to make a trade to go back to back? Two point two per carry, five first downs here. Um, this is in a 0.2 per carry, 0.5 first down league. Achane's a [ __ ] hammer in that. Early first to move from Marv to Achane though. I can't do that. Can you get like a two back? May, dude, if I'm competitive asset, maybe. If I'm giving Marvin an early to mid-first, I literally would need Bijan or Gibbs. That's the only two running backs I would give that up for. Like, okay, is this the team that he has? This is his team. I mean, he already has Barkley, Bijan. Like, you don't even really need Achane, realistically. Yeah, don't do this move. Um, I love Achane, but like realistically, giving up a first of liquidity just doesn't seem reasonable in this spot. I mean, if he was willing to give you like if you gave him maybe even another. If he gives you back on top of then, yeah. I would do that. If it was Achane and Pittman, sign me up for that. But like, if it's just for Achane, I can't. Yeah, I I agree. I don't think you can. This is a like I mean in this format Achane's 27, 28 point per game scorer, though. Like he is a [ __ ] monster. He's a stud. He's a stud, but like I just think the early to mid-first liquidity is too much to add on top. I I like I I'm going to disagree with you. I think I would be willing to do this to be honest. Given the scoring format, like this is the difference between my 21st player and my 36th player is relatively about a mid-first anyways, but given the scoring format, I think a chance production value would push him to like a top 15 asset. I just disagree with you frankly. Um, un we can counter with a piece back. I do not think that's the market value. Yeah. I mean, if you want to counter with a, you know, you give him a mid to late two and he gives you Pittman or something and that's kind of how you balance out the trade a little bit, I would probably be willing to do that. Um, but yeah, we still got a couple more. Thank you. Um, there you go. Sorry. My food my food arrived, got delivered for me. You're cooking? Yes. By Maria, she made the food. She is making sure that she makes it known that she's taking care of me here. Um, sorry, I'm looking through my line. Medus is loose has a question here as well. Wide receiver wise, George Pickens is going to be in your lineup. Um, Downs, Diggs, Piu. I mean, what are we like, what the hell is going on with Ricky Piu, man? He might be dead, bro. Is this is Dude, dude, dude. I mean, I wouldn't make jokes about the guy that got shot saying he might be dead. Um, is this a Wait, what's his face? Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Please. I'm trying to remember his name. Oh, he went to like Temple University. Got drafted by the [ __ ] Jaguars running back. Deuce Mallard. No, no, no. He went to Temple or school like that. He was like a a 47 Armstead. Riquel Rock Armstead. Holy. That guy got CO might have died. I like I actually am not confirmed that that guy's alive. I think he plays in the CFL, doesn't he? Yeah, I think is he on Winnipeg? He played in the CFL. He did, dude. He like died for a couple years. Yeah, he went to Temple. Where is he? Now I'm curious. Played for the Rough Riders this year. What the [ __ ] Yeah, but I remember he had CO like badly and then James Robinson was a workhorse after that. He ran a 445. Why I think he was like a 47 runner. Yeah, this he actually ran fast. This is like also gasoline looking like chicken salad that just got delivered to me. There's like some sweet potatoes and avocado. I almost said avocado. What am I [ __ ] brain damaged? Why am I calling it avocado? It's like when I had the Freudian slip because um when I made the trade with Mason, I came back from my brothers and I was so tired that day and I accidentally said [ __ ] espresso by accident and I I as soon as I saw my video of it, I wanted to [ __ ] lose it because I'm like, there's no way I actually said that and now everybody's going to watch me say that. Yeah. Everyone thinks you're brain dead now that you say espresso. That I mean Dude, I don't normally say it like that. I promise. I commented on the video on our FSE account. I was like, "Danny saying espresso gave me the ick." It It literally was a Freudian slip, bro. When you know when you're tired and like you just say [ __ ] that's like some somewhat a little bit off. Um, yeah, I do. Also, what are you What are you talking about, man? My [ __ ] woman bringing me food is the greatest. It's the best, man. When she I didn't ask her to make me dinner and

She did. So, that's what you love to see.

Also, why did I have [ __ ] Hunter Henry in the lineup over freaking Kenneth Walker in this?

Did you see Fouseu's fantasy receipts?

Oh my god. It wouldn't shock me if Fouseu was fantasy receipts, by the way.

No, he he's not. He's not. He's not. I I I've talked with their seats before. Um they literally like um like I had a conversation with >> they have functional brain cells.

Well, that's part of it, too. That's how I knew. But like I basically told him I'm like, "Yeah, dude. This guy was tweeting about me and you." Like I was referencing me and you. I I said it to Reissa. Like th this guy was tweeting about me and Corey like a week after we had them blocked. He was having conversations with him and his followers having our us tagged and we didn't see a single of it at the time because we had him blocked. The only reason I even see it is because I namearched my name next to his and saw that he was literally having conversations with himself about us.

Yeah, dude. You guys psycho, man.

You guys insane.

Dude. I I literally quote tweeted him and I'm like, I'll take any time out of my day to dunk on Fussu. This guy messages me on Instagram. Facebook.

Facebook. Yep. Yep. The Facebook >> find my [ __ ] dude. My Instagram handle is not even findable. Like it's not my like name. It's not like fantasy. There's no fantasy stock exchange. Like I don't know how the [ __ ] he found me on Facebook and Instagram, but like you are a [ __ ] disturbed human. Like beat it.

No, he's actually a psychopath. Also, I have two two running backs even active in Flock Me Silly and Jaylen. Actually, no, I have one active running back as Jaylen writes out. Um, but yeah, dude. He is actually psychotic. Like I'm I'm sorry. I I hate to sound like that, but seek some [ __ ] help. Seriously.

Yeah. Help for Fussu is making the waves on Twitter. I've seen I'm like I don't give a [ __ ] if this guy seeks help. Honestly, he's been so rude to me. I could he can go [ __ ] himself.

Dude, the funniest interaction is when he tells you draft capital matters. You said Chris Alab went 11th overall and he said, "I don't care about draft capitalism bullshit."

He's just a [ __ ] dude. Give him some avocado and he will leave you alone fast.

No. And I mentioned it to the to you, Corey. I still can't believe this guy.

Yeah.

Don't give him my card. So, Corey, I mentioned this to you, but still the funniest thing to this day is when we have a conversation about just like random fantasy stuff with this guy. It was I think it was in the 2022 draft, and he tries to flex on us by sending a [ __ ] PayPal invoice of somebody somebody sending him $50.

Yeah. No, he's such a cornball, man. Like why would you ever post that?

Yeah. I I don't I think he's like 90% of what he does is trolling for what it's worth. Like I don't actually think he's that serious about most of the stuff that he does.

I I generally asked Ron. I'm like, "Dude, is like Fussu like actually a bid? Is this a genius bit or is he genuinely just a psychopath?"

I think I think he's like I think he's trolling to some degree.

He's kind of he's he's trolling to some degree for sure.

100% serious. I can't rationally comprehend if he um >> scans gets the unfiltered fussu slander in the discord when we're watching games.

Um but yeah uh should we I don't know if we're going to get time to get to Ralph's team review in depth here. Let's uh let's show our picks for the game. If you want to load yours in, I got mine here >> ready to go.

Um, for those of you guys that want to tailor picks for the game tonight, I got Tua Tongabaloa, higher than 15.95 fantasy points, top five defense for fantasy quarterbacks. Tua is actually projected like 17.8 on Odds Jam's fantasy projections and according to like DraftKings and all those other places. So, um, yeah, I feel like that is a really really good hire to take.

Um, Z Flowers higher than 68 and a half receiving yards. Um, I just 31% target share and it's a really easy matchup for him. And then longest rush higher than 15 and a half for Devon Achan. Um he's a big play hunter. The uh Ravens defense is 29th in rushing EPA and 28th in success rate allowed. So I think that Devon Han should be able to break uh a long run or two in this game. Maybe not like a 60-yard touchdown, but I think he can scamper for a 16 plus yard run no problem.

Yeah. And uh kind of echoes mine. Um funny enough, I have one of the exact picks and one of them kind of correlated here. I'll start with the ones that are exact and correlated. I also took Zay Flowers higher than 68 and a half receiving yards, 70 plus receiving yards in three of the four games that Lamar played. 29% target share, 31% air share when Lamar Jackson was healthy, 15.9 PPR point score. Really what it comes back to, he's the first read target in this offense. And with Lamar Jackson fully healthy, in fact, with Lamar Jackson active to begin with with the hamstring, maybe we do see less overall scrambles, less over overall design quarterback work, and more just letting him roam the pocket and deliver dots to his number one receiver. So 68 and 12 felt like a good uh number. Initially when I picked it in the disc or in our Twitter chat, it was at 66 and a half, but once the slip was in, it actually rose a couple yards. So people are clearly on the higher there.

Um, Devon Achan, you mentioned the higher on his longest rush. I just took his overall rushing yards in games that he's gotten 12 plus rushing attempts. He has gone higher than this in every single game. I understand there is concerns about the game script. what if the Ravens go up early, you know, potentially at home negative game shape, but that's that's a factor A and B, we literally saw against both the Chargers and the Cleveland Browns. He had higher than 12 carries in both those games and they were down big in both those games going into the fourth quarter. So, Devon Achan, I feel comfortable as long as he gets those touches, 5.04 yards per carry on the season. I feel good on him to potentially get higher. And this one was the lowhanging fruit. We know Derrick Henry splits when Lamar Jackson's on the field. 2.3 yards per four contact per attempt, 5.9 yards per carry. Lamar Jackson's healthy and this potentially profiles him into a game we can see 20 to 25 touches from the King. And I think he reminds people why he was in fact the guy projected to lead the league in rushing coming into the season.

Yeah. Like and Miami went uh last time they played on Thursday Night Football, they went to Buffalo as 14 and a half point underdogs or 14-point underdogs or whatever they were in that game and they only lost by 10 points and Devon Achan had 62 rushing yards in that game and they're at home in this game against Baltimore. So, I feel a lot better there.

Um, but yeah, those are the picks that we're rolling with tonight. Uh, there is, uh, of course the new customer gimme pick, uh, which I believe is Josh Allen if you guys want to grab that. If you're a new customer over on Underdog, you obviously can get that.

Um, new customers when they use our promo code FSE can also play $5 and get 100 in bonus funds. And then when you make your first deposit, you also do get um, up to $1,000 in bonus funds, 50% deposit match up to 1,000 bucks. And you also probably most likely have Bootober promos in your lobby, a 30% profit boost or something to that regard. You see in Danny's entry specifically um that it shows a 30% profit boost to it for the 9.29x there. So we are going to sign out of here.

Um >> we did mention we'd give review vouchers. Um we did say star sitter trade, but because you asked for a review or team review, I do know Steu Man was in our mock and we did mention that by the way.

Yes. Yes, we did mention that if you guys were in the mock there for sure.

Um, uh, Dylan, I can confirm you weren't in the mock draft.

Yeah. Well, uh, well, Dylan, you're in here all the time, man. We'll we'll we'll be firing. We're gonna start doing the whole like get this likes get the likes up and we'll we'll give out review vouchers and team starts set vouchers and stuff. You'll get them. Don't worry.

Yeah, don't you worry.

Um, but anyways, appreciate you guys for tuning in. Ralph, unfortunately, we will have to get to this Sunday morning, but um, otherwise we can we can get this to you. If you need this ASAP, just message us and we'll get it to you ASAP uh, privately. But on Sunday morning, we'll cover this one for you. just didn't have a time to get to it today.

Uh, good luck to your matchups, everybody. Hopefully we get a Derrick Henry, big performance for Danny, a Zay Flowers, and Lamar Jackson, big performance for me. And, uh, yeah, that's pretty much what we're rooting for tonight. So, peace out. We'll talk to you soon.
