Alrighty. What it do? What it do? We got uh Denver Broncos, Las Vegas Raiders. Kind of a midame if I'm being honest. I have nobody playing in the Flock League or in my home league. Um, but I am facing Ashen Genty in my home league, but I also just acquired him in our listener league. So, I guess I'm protenty tonight. Um, that's kind of my only like >> uh reason to watch this game. That's like really where I'm at. >>
So, I tried to offer for Genty earlier today, but unfortunately sometimes like you have certain like windows where you can actually communicate with some of your league mates. Like you'll you'll have like 10 minutes in a day where they're actually checking the phone and if you if you miss that window, that text isn't getting read for 3 days. So, that's how my league is sometimes. Um, initially I I slid with an offer of Barkley Adams and Manunga I'd be giving him in exchange for Marv Judkins Genty just as like the first offer kind of see where he's at. And he said uh loving Harrison with a real quarterback. So he wants to keep Marv. So when he said that I'm like okay. I adjusted my offer. I offered him Rico and Saquon for Genty and Judkins and uh hoping I'm able to get that done because uh I'll feel pretty pretty damn good. >>
Yeah. Yeah. No, that feels pretty good. And I I feel the same way about Harrison. Um, having a real quarterback who can see over his offensive line for a change. >>
Um yeah, and I I scooped up a Adnai Mitchell for a few bucks just as a stash, so I don't feel too bad there. >>
Um >> you don't sound [ __ ] garbage. I don't >> Did you see uh Reggie Wayne got got an interview basically like after the trade and stuff and basically he just said like like he looked like he was about to cry. He was basically like, "Oh, I I wish we could have had time to really develop him, but it's hard to get him snaps when Alex's playing so [ __ ] well." Pretty much is what he said. >>
That's kind of kind of crazy. >>
Hayden winks. Do you like Bofa or De's this week? >> I'm a big guy this week. >> I don't know. De's kind of creeps up on you, bro. >> Yeah, he does. He does creep up on you. >>

Aiden, the first one we got up here, uh, I believe all trade questions and start sets minus this next team review here that we could just do right off the rip. Uh, Puka Nua for Bree Hall and CD Lamb reddraft. Uh, 10 team start seven. Danny, if you say CD Lamb, you're biased as [ __ ] >>
I mean, it's an enticing offer. Um Puka Nakua in a 10 team start seven, you probably lean that side just because of how dominant the production's been. But also, if you can convince yourself, hey, CD Lamb's going to score 22 points per game post by like, and you're high on Bree, like let's just say he's your 15 rest of the season, I understand it. But I mean, just the security of Puka Nua, whenever this guy's active, he's scoring 20 plus fantasy points. I can't say the same about CD Lamb right now. >>
Yeah. No, for sure. And uh just FYI, Jack, uh team review is $79 with no subscription, but it is $55 with a subscription to Code FSE to get a team review specifically from us. You also get a 15% discount on all the other creators. And of course, you do get a free team review if you are new to the site and you get an annual [ __ ] but I believe Jack might be a site subscriber already. So, um Yep. >> Maybe I'm wrong about that. I'm just guessing. Uh >> nobody's forcing you to buy a team review. >>
Yeah. No, for sure. Stupid sexy Flanders here. Shout out. Glory to the Hypno Toad. There's a lot of wild [ __ ] going on here. Um, okay. Dynasty 2 quarterback, two tight end leagues. So, having Leaporta Love Lovelin, likely a Royo Sinnate, actually a really solid tight end core knowing you have to start two tight ends. Also a half uh PPR, 1.25 tight end premium. So, I guess 0.5 PPR or 0.75, sorry, PPR to the tight end position. Um, this is a really well-built roster other than the quarterback position really like other than JJ McCarthy QB2, Gino Smith QB3. I don't really feel I feel really good about the rest of the team >> which and to be honest in that scenario you are so young across the board you did lose neighbors is I'm curious did he leave any question mark like should I retoolled this maybe for next year or >>
Yeah, Okay. So he said the tight end premium is 1.25 PPR.75 and Okay. So, I mean like these are this is like tight ends are god format. >> Yeah. So, I mean like even still looking at the scenario, you're four and five, but like you have a lot of roster value overall. You have an extra first in 2026. My question to you, Cory, in this type of scenario, do you try to see if you can take I mean, I I would say the youngest prime players maybe you want to keep, but maybe like an ETN right now, for example, really producing well, we don't know what the long-term future is going to be in Jacksonville. Do you try to liquidate that knowing that, hey, like realistically if you if you attached ETN plus Gino to a team in a competitive push, can you get a one plus a two? Can you get, you know, add a two to that and get two ones? Like, if you can workshop a couple of these short-term assets, we talked about it on the video today, actually, funny enough, when you're in a retooling situation, trying to attach a bunch of short-term assets to get that long-term piece of a one. Realistically, even if you're giving up a significant amount of production, which yeah, ETN, you know, maybe a 15 point per game player rest a season in P or I mean half PPR probably like what 12 12 and a half. >> Yeah, 12 and a half point per game guy. >> Gino Smith, you're probably expecting to get fringe top 24ish level numbers if not, you know, 24 through 27. So, if somebody's buying with that expectation and you can, you know, attach a two a two four, get a one back, at that point. You have three ones. You build around your studs. Malik Neighbor is going to be a long-term guy for you. Amecha Kabuk are going to be a long-term guy for you. The other wide receivers in your room here, like I would say Colin Sutton might also be expendable. Again, he's a good producer. He's still in the prime, but at the same time, he's in the older half of his prime. He's what, 29 years old if I'm not mistaken. >> Sutton's 30. >> He's 30. Okay, so he did turn 30. Um, yeah, if you could sell high on him, he's obviously giving, you know, top 15ish level production. Everybody's kind of high on him right now. I would just liquidate those pieces. get as many ones, twos, as many dart throws as you could possibly get and just retool around your young guys because quite frankly, you have enough roster value for this to be a sustained contender 2026 through 2028, 26 through 2029. >>
Yeah, I would say my thought process around this team in general is when you get Neighbors going down, you get Hampton going down, Loveland starting slow, it's not really your year. Yeah, that's kind of where I'm at with it. It's a young team, maybe. I mean, you're four and five. If you sneak into the playoffs and you don't have a trade deadline, which a lot of the leagues you and I play in don't have trade deadlines in week 14 or something, if you were like, "Hey, I have an offer on the table, Travis ETN plus a first for Devon Achan," then yeah, you make a move at that point in time. But I would say for the short term, I would probably just hope that my young guys develop and shed some of those high-end or not high-end, but uh short-term production pieces. Gino Smith being a really good example. I would get him the [ __ ] off my team as soon as possible because I just think Gino Smith isn't good. And um >> I think you said Courtland Sutton is Courtland Sutton gonna be worth any more value at any point in his career than he's worth right now. Like I just I don't I think this is the absolute peak amount of value you're going to get for Courtland Sutton. >> Hear me out. Don't do it right now. If you have a trade deadline or don't have a trade deadline in your league, I think this is probably, you know, you wait a couple weeks. You see if he builds up some momentum. It really depends on the offer, but obviously we just have the news that Kyler Murray gets placed on IR. It does sound like it's kind of a soft benching. It does sound like he's probably going to move in the offseason. Maybe right exactly now, people still believe Kyler Murray's a long-term quarterback for Arizona. But I'm telling you, give it like two weeks. If Jacobe Brassette's playing decent, they're looking like a decent football team, I could see the market value for Brassette being a little bit higher, maybe you can sell him with the principle. Hey, who knows? Maybe 2026 he's a starter. Maybe he signs like a short-term two to threeyear type of deal. If you get that type of news like or that type of confirmation in these next couple of weeks that Arizona is not going to bring Kyler Murray back at that point, can Brassette net you a two on the market? >> Yeah. Yeah, I think that makes sense. And Gino Smith, same thing. I mean, any of these guys pop up with great production window guys. I think ETN like you mentioned is kind of in that production window right now. You should be able to like to another contender that maybe needs quarterback and running back. Can you offer Travis ETN and Gino Smith and get a singular first round pick because I probably would do it if you can't get one already for Travis ETN given his value and Sutton too like maybe you can get a one a two in a young piece or something. >> Well, that's I mean throw Sutton in that deal and go to a guy and say hey listen I'm improving your production equity this year. Give me your 26 and 271 because at that point >> try and actually find someone's team here like a five and four team is the perfect type of team to target. Like this guy is Bryce Young Shadur Sanders like these guys he could use Sutton he could use Maybe you could craft an offer around Ted McMillan potentially with all three of those assets put together. >> Let's see that seven and two team as well real quick because the reason why I'm thinking there he probably doesn't have many picks uh if we see 7 and2 doesn't have any of his 2026 picks unfortunately. I was going to say if he only had his 261 and didn't have his two and three and we could kind of picture his team falling off in the near future that would also be a perfect target. I mean, if you want to go after this team anyways and say, "Hey, listen, this is a wide receiver room outside of Puka Nikua." DK Mechaf probably on a downward trend after this year. Debo Samuel, what's he going to look like? He's older. He's getting injury banged up all the time. Matthew Golden, is he really going to materialize into a true number one wide receiver? Troy Franklin, a spot in the pan right now, but is he going to be sustainable? Like I'm looking all around on this team and I con convince myself within these next couple of years that while he's seven and two right now, he's more of a middle of the pack type of team and these middle of the pack type of teams that have overinflated records, I feel like you can take advantage of like maybe in your league can you are you able to scoop up 2028 capital because at that point 2027 first plus 2028 first to say, "Hey dude, you're seven and two. You're all in. You're 261 is already out the door. Let's increase your contending window. I'll give you the Courtland Sutton, the Travis ETN, maybe throw in an extra piece and try to go after you know just because he does he could use another third quarterback but because Tua is playing like [ __ ] and Aaron Rogers is old. >> These are my favorite teams to capitalize on because we can both look at this team and realize yeah it's in a decent spot but longterm there is some gap like outside of >> how the hell is this guy seven and two would be my thought process. >> But that's what I mean. But in his head he's going to see Puka, he's going to see Gibbs, he's going to see Mahomes. He's going to look at his team and be like, "Holy [ __ ] I can win the championship this year." Play on that expectation. Play on that false sense of confidence and see, like you said, if you can take his whole future once his team is objectively speaking closer to that four and five, five and four range next year, you're going to be in a great spot. >> Yeah. And he has this guy's one and uh sorry, his one in 26 and his one in 2027. Um he has uh extra on his team. So, I mean, Derrick Henry, I mean, you'd love to have somebody's 27-1 when they're rostering Derrick Henry. Oh, yeah. Like, Jerry Judy, wide receiver three right now. Like, this is this is a nice looking squad. Like, because that's why that's basically why my first instinct here when I looked at this team was like, it's not your year. Like, you you're going to have a high pick this year probably or somewhat of a high pick this year. Like, what is this guy's record? He's four and five. You'll probably have a middle pick at the very least. And then your own pick if you're outside of the playoff bracket. Maybe you walk out of this season with the 103 and the 106 or something like that and you're able to add more pieces to this team or maybe make a consolidation move or in the offseason trade up in the rookie draft to get a Jeremiah Love to help hammer your running back core, something like that. Um, yeah, for the most part I just look at this team and I just go, "Yeah, this is this is a team that I probably wouldn't rush things and I would just sell off. Gino, ETN, Corland Sutton, be on my merry way because you have the tight ends, you have the wide receivers once Malik Neighbors is healthy. Um maybe even Jaylen Waddle because of Tyreek Hill's injury. Devon, we didn't even mention Dvonte Adams who's down here. Devonte Adams is really productive right now. I would probably imagine you can get a pretty penny for him, especially from one of those teams that is six and three or five and four. Be like, "Hey, I'll give you Adams. I'll give you Sutton. I'll give you Gino Smith. That's three competitive pieces. Give me your ones for the next two years." >>
Um Arthur, is this in the uh the don't give a flock league? Yeah. Like full transparency. So Cory, I told you this. It sucks for me not having my one cuz I have a bad record. But the deal I did to get rid of my one was basically giving him two a tongue of Ailoa a two first and I got Caleb in a piece. I think it was if that's a really high first that might end up killing you still. I I've I've seen you do that in startups where you'll like trade up in the startup and you're like it's an elite quarterback or whatever. I'll I'll do it. I don't really care. I just am not a fan of doing that in startups just cuz I mean like studs and >> a tongue of Aloa. Yeah, I know it's to a tongue law. He stinks. >> Well, so like I I'm perfectly fine giving up one year of one even if it ends up being a high pick because I ended up getting a guy that's a top 15 level startup pick top. >> Sure. I just in a fresh startup I don't like sacrificing my ability to because like I like kind of feeling my way through a fresh startup a little bit and being like, "Okay, these are my holes after year one." And if I don't have any ones to address said holes, it's kind of challenging. even if I have like two elite quarterbacks or maybe I trade it up for like Puka or something in the startup. >> So, keep in mind it is a best league. I have three twos and two threes as well and a couple of my big players have been like banged up slash I mean Hunter's now out for the year probably BTJ's not played up to the expectation and I do have a lot of young pieces like Ton's probably going to be better next year. Burton may be better next year. Maybe Manungai is better next year. I picked him up and he's looking pretty good especially if they move on from Swift. Um, JCM if if Jaden Daniels is healthy next year. Um, like I'm looking through my >> guy and JC and JCM are just two major [ __ ] cells in my opinion in terms in terms of what I think of them in Dynasty. I would just sell them right now. >> Maybe. But then at the end of the day, I'm surrounding that along with some like Neo moving assets. Like for me, I got like Coulson Lovelin I believe and in this heavy tight end premium I believe this league is if I'm not mistaken. Or is it the other league? It might be flocking right if I'm not. No, it's um um >> is it Flock and Right that's the 2X? Oh, yeah, it is Flock and Right because I traded for Trey McBride in that league. >> Um there is a tight end premium in this league though regardless. And I also have May and Caleb Williams. So yeah, not not my greatest team and obviously I I I wish I had the one. But um yeah, it's just unfortunate. I'm probably going to eat this year. I'm probably give Arthur a good pick and then next year I'm going to be better. >>
Yeah, we're currently at a piss poor 16 likes right now. So let's get that number up. I'll drop the expectation down to 60. You don't need 75 to get the free questions. Let's get it down to 60 and we'll give out a bunch of vouchers here. Um, hammer the like button to make sure people are getting those. Um, but yeah, nothing else I really have to say about the Steam. It's really well set up. It's not your year, but if you do, for whatever reason, rattle off a couple wins in a row and you can make a move at that point. you could always um do that. But I will say uh Adams, Sutton, ETN, Gino Smith on the block. Make sure to watch earlier today's video um for some more advice on how to properly kind of make trades with a team like that where you're trying to shed some of that production. Um >> this has to be a targeted advertisement >> against me. >> Yeah, these are your guys >> to my guys here. Uh Brandon Aayuk for Isaiah Pacheco. I mean in a start eight 12 team PPR >> just take the upside of Iayuk. What's PCO bro? >> Yeah the swing on Iayuk man. I mean >> hey I'll offer you PCO for Iayuk if you want. >> I'm good. I'm good. I'll keep I >> Hey, I'll offer you [ __ ] for piss if you want. >> Yeah, I'm probably going to get your boy this week too from Avery. >> Huh? >> Uh Travis, he he can't feel the starting lineup right now. Oh, you're getting I told him I would send him Caleb Williams for Travis. He's like, I'm going to give it the rest of the day in case anybody offers me something better, but I'll probably take that. >> There you go. >> Um, yeah. So, I'll have a couple of IR wide receivers sitting on my uh on my bench here. Also, let me know what you think of this deal. Nick, the editor, offered me this. Um, $10 fab and Matthew Golden for Josh Downs. >> I mean, what does that accomplish? >> Nothing really. But in in my situation, hypothetically, if I were to take that, you would talk yourself into Golden having some great second half of the season. And >> like cuz he doesn't like DS is never finding my starting lineup as long as my top four receivers are healthy. >> Golden's already hurt right now. And >> that's why I'm just like whatever. >> Josh DS I already know is good, so I'll probably just hold him. >> And [ __ ] Christian Watson snatched his chain. Snatched his chain. Holy [ __ ] that was a mouthful from me. >>
Um, Alvin Chimera, RJ Harvey this week or I mean Chase Brown's on buy, so >> yeah, >> Harvey. >> I got to see who I have ranked higher. I don't >> So, funny enough, uh, unfortunately, I I had something to attend to today. Otherwise, I was going to, uh, give you guys some give you guys these picks. But, um, here, I'll just upload this in the back end. RJ Harvey was actually one of my picks for tonight's game. Um, let me >> Yeah, I mean, my thought process on Harvey is, do we want to play like a 20 30% snapshare guy on a good offense or do I want to play a 60% snapshare guy on a bad offense? And my tiebreaker here is that the New Orleans Saints are playing the car the Carolina Panthers. It's a division game. It's a defense that allows a lot of receptions to the running back position. I think I would lean towards the workload of bad as he's been. And like R.J. Harvey's three best games are like eight points better than anything Chimera has done this year. So if you want the ceiling, I think Harvey probably is the ceiling. But I'd probably roll with with Chimera, especially in PP. >> Why though? >> Why though? They're both receiving >> why other than I just wise trust his workload a little bit better. >> But they're both receiving threats and one's actually getting goal line touches because his offense gets to the goal line. >> Yeah. I mean, again, I think if you're playing to the ceiling here, that's totally fine. You want What floor are we playing for? >> 28 and 29 in my rank. They're literally back to back. >> No, I get that. But like what floor do we even have with Chimera? This guy scored like three fantas. Yeah, but like I've seen him score three. So it's like >> Yeah, he's he's [ __ ] man. I'm so glad I didn't draft him very much this year. I I took him when he fell in underdog drafts cuz I was like, ah, you know, at this point I'll take the upside that Chimera has like another season where he's like top 10 in points per game. But yeah, that was [ __ ] stupid. I think I actually ended up with him more than I thought. I think at like 6% Camaro and >> and this is just a good little pivot because we just talked about Harvey. I mean actually we'll finish the question first. Uh cuz um Harvey was one of my picks. I'll talk about it after that. >> Just talk about it. You've >> time. I I've teased it. Um I mean R.J. Harvey higher than 17 and a half. When I sent this to Spicy it was at 13 and a half. So this is getting a lot of steam right now up to 17 and a half. Very simple. Um, what we've seen with the Las Vegas Raiders is teams have a higher pass rate over expectation because quite simply, you look at the Raiders, they're very good at stopping the run, not so good on the back end. So, I do think in this scenario, we should see some more neutral pass game uh, type of scripts for the Denver Broncos offense. With R.J. Harvey, he's explored that type of joker role that we've been hearing from Shawn Payeyton for the last few weeks. It was funny because they tried to do it with Evan Ingram. Evan Ingram just not moving the way he was in the past. R.J. Harvey, if you've watched the games, has kind of operated as that joker. We've seen a lot of reception work. Last week, for example, five receptions, 51 receiving yards, and receiving touchdown. And I just think in this scenario, because you can't run in the Raiders, because we're going to have to see Bo Knicks drop back the pass, he gets higher yet again. Brock Bower's nucleus of this offense, when this guy's healthy, he's going to get over 100 plus receiving yards. I just think it's at 66.5 right now because we do have that stretch when he wasn't healthy. Pretty simple. He's playing 100% of at 100% health, he's going to be a threat to get 10 11 12 targets and a guy of that skill set can get 100 plus receiving yards very easily given the value of his targets. Colin Sunder higher than 10.65 fantasy points. Mention that this is a passal Raiders defense. >> [ __ ] you. >> You think so? >> 100%. >> Why? Give me the rational. Well, so the reason I think it's gonna [ __ ] you is because I kind of adamantly disagree with your whole stance on this game is going to be pass heavy for the Broncos because they're nine-point home favorites and they're going to play good defense and slow game down. >> I didn't say pass heavy overall. I'm saying in terms of pass rate over expectation, the Raiders are a passel defense. >> They are, but um the Broncos have been able to run the ball against literally everybody. It hasn't really mattered what defense they've been going against. >> Yeah, we'll see what it what happens when it's a top five defense against >> Also, what's his name? Uh Troy Franklin has out targeted Courtland Sutton in three straight games. >> Sure. Uh Corin Sutton gets very valuable targets. Courtland Sutton gets endzone looks. Corin Sutton is still uh across the year. I mean realistically outside of two weeks he's gone higher than this basically every week. >> I mean he's got to score for this to work in my opinion. And his implied odds to score plus 150 about a 60% chance he does not score based on his >> odds. Well, I would I would say 60% of the time he needs to score to get this done. >> 60%. I think he needs to get this. I to score 10.65 half PBR fantasy points, you need like 100 receiving yards, which Sutton never does. >> You need six six catches for 65 yards pretty much. Or I mean a little bit more than that. Seven catches for 70 yards or a touchdown. >> Yeah, I just think that's pretty farfetched. Without a touchdown, I think it's farfetched that he hits that. >> Sure. But at the same time, I I I just disagree. I think he's a threat to do that. It's a bad defense. >> Yeah, it is a bad defense. He could easily score and make me look stupid for that reason. But um I just Yeah, I just think mathematically it's probably not the greatest to bet on scoring when he's plus 150. >> Sure. Sure. But like again, he can totally get there with yards. He's done that before. He literally did against Philadelphia who's a much tougher matchup >> and they were winning in that game script. >> Yeah. Yeah, I mean, he hasn't like he's only had three four games this year of 80 or more receiving yards. Um, which means that he would have missed this total in every game pretty much that he didn't score a touchdown. Even some of the games that he did score a touchdown and he might have missed this total as well. Like last week, for example, against Houston, you only have one catch for 30 yards in a tug. >> Sure, but Cory, he does score touchdowns and this is a well-implied offense. We we can't discount his touchdown equity, especially when it's a pass on a matchup. >> Yeah. No, I can. I just I I think that I think it's mathematically I wouldn't I wouldn't pick it. Why? >> He could easily. I just mathematically I wouldn't pick what you picked. >> What? Like I don't know what I'm missing here. He's been great this year. >> Great. I don't know. He has been great. >> He's had two outlier games. He's been higher than this basically every week. And we can't discount his touchdown just cuz you feel like it. >> No, I don't. It's not cuz I feel like it that I'm discounting his total in in half of his games. >> But you're like, well, if he doesn't score, he's not going to hit this total. almost like, well, if any receiver doesn't score, obviously the implied >> he's 60% chance implied odds that he doesn't score and he's missed this total in half of his game. >> Correct. So, he's got a 40 plus% uh implied chance of scoring, but he's also been involved. So, it's like you have to bake in the touchdown upside for an offense that's going to be implied so heavily. >> I guess like what what are we talking about? >> 40% implied upside's not good odds. >> Yeah, but the offense is implied for how many points this week? >> Like 26, I think. Yeah, that's a good that's a good total. That's what top >> I just think I think they're gonna I think Bon Knick's going to drop back like maybe 30 times max in this game. I don't think we're getting a lot of past times here. >> Yeah. No, may maybe >> that's my that's my point. >> That's the thing. It's like he can get there without scoring 40% of the time is my argument. >> He can Yeah, he can get there without a terrible defense. >> Way more likely he he probably needs to score to get that. I He's not the type of volume receiver that gets like seven n seven to 10 catches. Maybe he >> usually is like a four to five catch receiver. >> Maybe, but at the same time, he has touchdown equity and he has gone higher than his total and it's a very good matchup. >> Yeah. Well, >> I don't know how this is bold. >> Hopefully, it doesn't screw you. Let's keep going here. Um >>
Um Pete, how how is it a bold take? Can you can you can you explain to me how the higher on his exact line or projection is a bold take? I don't I think it's the least bold take I've ever made. >> Yeah. >> That he scores higher than 10.6 points. Anyways, AJ Brown in the lineup. Um, Romo Dun in the lineup. That one's pretty straightforward, right? >> Oh, yeah. >> Pretty straightforward. AJ Brown. Yeah, I guess Harvey was the only one that he really needed help with there. Um, Sammy Hawker here, Amecha Ibuka in exchange for T. Higgins, an early to mid one in 2027, and two early to mid twos. Um, one in 2026, one in 2027. And he said, "I will have to drop at least four players." Okay. Okay. Well, maybe I can quickly look at your roster and tell you who to drop. >> It feels like a lot. >> No. >> So, >> early to mid one and two. >> A one. A guy who's worth a mid one and then two twos. >> It's too much. It's early to mid, bro. That's the difference. If those were all mid to late picks, >> especially in that class, too. >> Yeah. Go like what? >> Yeah. I mean, he's So, this is his team. So, he's obviously in a consolidation frame of mind, >> by the when you factor in how good his team is, you go, "Okay, like this is >> Yeah, he's trying to schumaz you though." Like like I like Abuka a lot, but maybe if is if that name on the other end was CD Lamb were thinking about it. Like realistically a one and two twos that are projected early to mid like you're going to need a top of the line fantasy wide or dynasty wide receiver. >> Yeah, I al so my one thing that I would say here is the two teams involved in this trade have their own picks. Both of them are top three in the analyzer and neither of which is gonna have an early to mid first. Okay. In my opinion, I think they look like mid to late picks because whatever team is which they they're contenders both of them. >> No. So send it then if it's mid to late. If it's early to mid there's a very big difference because early to mid 27 first might end up being a guy that's a top two or three round startup pick this time two years from now. >> Yeah. If you can knock if you can knock a second off of this as well, like I'd rather pay a one a two and T. Higgins for a mechuka as opposed to a one and two two even if they're mid to late. Like I think that's a pretty high hall to pay. Like you're paying two mid ones, mid to late ones worth of value with T. Higgins in the first and two mid to late twos. That's pretty that's pretty steep. >> Yeah. No, no, Pete, I know you're good. I've seen you in here. Um, yeah. It it just >> if that's if that's an issue that people are having, Arthur, I'll make sure to bring that up with the devs. I We'll bring that up. >> You shouldn't be doing that. You should be able to pick mid to late. Like there's two options when you select first and there's mid to late or early to mid, but hopefully um like I don't know. I think as much as I love Ibuka, I actually think I like this side of the deal even if they are mid to late because Tiggins is still a very valuable asset. >> Yeah. No, I agree. >> One quarterback league too. Um, so like you got wide receiver eight versus wide receiver like 20some for a bunch of picks. Like I I'd probably take the upside of the picks and >> yeah mid to late for sure if it was early to mid completely different. That's that's the context. >>
Um Judkins Ken's Nico Bowers Gaton for Ferguson lad Gibbs. Uh this is the Bower side very easily for me. >> So what am I missing? >> Give or take and Collins cancel out. Um, Gibbs, uh, Ferguson and Gadson, give or take, cancel out in my opinion. >> Um, I would I would I would take Gadson. I actually think you got to flip them. And >> either way, like those two guy, it's basically the nuts and bolts. This is Judkins and Bowers for Gibbs. >> Yeah, and I take that every time. >> Yeah, I think I would too. I think this is a lot of a lot of ceiling to be getting in one trade. It's not a tight end premium, so do you really need both of these tight ends and that kind of thing? But yeah, >> let me ask you this, Cory. Somebody knocks on your door and says, "Hey, I'll offer you Bowers a one and a two for Jir Gibbs." You take that every single time out of process. Judkins to me is probably worth about a one and a two. >> Well, this is a reddraft trade, so that's not really >> Oh, okay. We were in Dynasty Brain, but either regardless. Okay, so let let me reframe it then. Nico Collins versus Lad. I agree. Rest of season, Gatsson versus That's why I said, "Oh, >> I would take I would take Gatsson over Ferguson and Dynasty." >> Okay, that's why I reacted that way. Sorry, we just did a couple team reviews. My apologies. Let me recalibrate. So, Nico Collins, like you said, versus Lad. Um, I would have Nico slightly higher, but you have Lad higher. They're same thing. Whatever. Cancel them out. Ferguson versus Gass, and I agree. Probably cancel them out rest of the season. Nuts and bolts. Bowowers plus Judkins for Gibbs. If you're talking about raw point equity, I think Bowowers can end up being in that 17, 18, maybe even 19 points per game rest away. Like, the guy scored 44 points in his first game back. What's stopping him from being a near 20 point per game player at that? Let me ask you this, Cory. What odds would you put it that Bower straight up PPR point per game scoring outscores Demir Gibbs? Cuz I'd probably put it at about a 30% chance and you're insulating with Judkins. >> Yeah, I mean I'm not going to let a four like one 40 point game make me think that he's still not like on most weeks a 15 to 17 point per game tight end. >> And maybe but you can also acknowledge that his usage isn't that of a normal tight end. He actually is not. And again, if you want to argue that Montgomery caps Gibbs upside and he's more inconsistent, like I think ultimately this is just the um the Bower side of the deal. >> Fun conversation. >> I don't personally think he can match Jamir Gibbs' point per game production. But even if he can't, you're getting Judkins also there. So Derrick Henry Jacobe Myers for ETN Spears and a here. >> Um this is Derrick Henry. >> Yeah. Um >> just take the best player respectfully. Chris is fine. Travis ETN fine. Taj Spears I like as an upside throw, but realistically 12 team start date format. You have the depth to consolidate. Go get the big dog. Like I You guys haven't seen the video yet. Um I'm not going to say anything else. >> Yeah, >> I may or may not have made another trade, guys. >> Yeah, he's hyping up the player he traded. Um Jell Robinson versus Leon Gadson. Yeah, this is Gadson all day. I mean, Well Robinson is just unconsequential. I like if I'm a flex decision of these two players, I would rather start Gatsson every single week over Wandel Robinson if this was my second tight end in a hypothetical universe. And when you factor in this could be your starting tight end, then you're absolutely taking Gatsson every single time. Um Derrick Henry versus Judkins straight. Uh yeah, I'll take Derrick Henry. >> I'll take the King. I'll take the King. Um >> yeah, I mean realistically I had both these guys. Um >> yeah, go get Jabar. What the hell? >> Yeah. What are we talking about? >> IA and D. Come on. >> Sure. All day. >> Yeah. Would start Han K9 as RBs. Don't care. >> Give up D for that. >> All day. Uh, >> he's nuts here. Quinchon Judkins and Javvante's on buy. So, you're probably Henderson. >> Hendo. >> Yeah. Looks like we're probably going to be yet again without Reandre Stevenson based on all the reports. Um, >> T-Mac here. Um, no, no CJ Strad. Does that factor in? >> Honestly, I still like Nico because we've actually seen Davis Mills when he's come in in the past just throw to his number one target. Like if I recall, was it was it two years ago if I'm not mistaken that CJ Strad got hurt and Davis Mills came in and Nico had like 12 targets and two touchdowns? >> Maybe. I I don't >> Maybe I'm not mistaken. I might correct. It was either last year or two years ago. It was one of those years. But uh did CJ Strad miss a game uh this year or last year? >> He missed any last last year. He might have missed one his rookie season. >> Okay. Uh correct me again like if I'm wrong here. I I I just remember Davis. >> I don't think it's going to matter because I think T-Mac and Ghart and Collins are going to be the flexes anyways. Um >> his rookie year 2023 >> T-Mac and Collins are going to be the receivers tight end wise. Gadson versus Concincaid. Um >> um >> it's an actual conversation this week in my opinion >> here. I got it here by the way. Um so Nico only played 47% of the snaps week 16 2023. This was a week that Davis Mill started and on those 47% of the snaps he had six targets and caught a touchdown. >> Okay. So >> um Gadson versus King Kade is literally backtoback in my this week. I think that they're actually close. the Bills are implied for like 29 points in a 50 point overunder game against the freaking Dolphins um who are giving it up to tight ends. So, I mean >> Pittsburgh Chargers with pits like the Char I'm actually like really worried uh about the Chargers offensive line injuries because now that Joe Alt's basically out for the year and Trey Pipkins got banged up yet again. Um I'll ask you this question in a second because I actually have this in my flock league uh thing, but I'll roll with Gadson. do have him one spot higher, but it wouldn't shock me if King Kade outscored him this week. >> I got tight. >> If you're in my position against Mason this week, >> who are you starting at RB2? >> We have Kenneth Walker versus the Arizona Cardinals. Um game environment is pretty solid. It's like a 45 point overunder game. Seahawks are favored by like three points, I think, at home or something like that. Maybe it's more that they're favored by. >> I feel like I know who the other question mark is. >> Uh Seattle is favored by six and a half. Sorry. So, they're implied for 25.75 points. Kenneth Walker, um, rushing yardage total, Kenneth Walker is second among my decision. He's also second in touchdown odds. Um, among the decision makes, uh, decision players that I have here. Tyrone Tracy is also a potential option for me. Uh, Chicago Bears, New York Giants. Um, fastest paced game of the slate or one of the fastest paced games of the slate. So, pretty uptempo. >> Yeah, it'll be a great game for Devin Singleary for sure. >> What's up? I said it's going to be a great game for Deon Singleary for sure. >> I to be honest I just think that that Devon Single Terry [ __ ] was [ __ ] happening. >> I disagree. It just I had to troll. >> Tracy's one of my options. And then the highest projection on Sleeper is >> Yeah, that's who I go with. >> You go with Vidal. Even how garbage he looked last week, how bad the Steelers bullied, and I mean bullied the Who did they just play? They beat the [ __ ] out of somebody in their transes. Um, Colts. Colts. Yeah, they bullied the Colts up front and the Chargers got bullied by the Titans without Jeffrey Simmons. >> They're all bad in that game. >> What was the overall workload rate? Let me take a look. >> I mean, Haskins was out. Let me actually pull up the snap share for for Vidal because I I know the the workload will favor Vidal 100%. >> Um, >> yeah, like I'm looking at it right now player in my opinion. uh 72% of the snaps, but he only had 48% of the carries, which is less than >> 62% of the routes. >> 62% of the routes, though. >> 62% of the routes. I mean, I don't know. My my thought process is the way that the the Chargers backfield works is it's kind of a hot hand even though Vidal is technically the guy that'll get the first crack at it. >> They're all volatile. Um >> I think that Walker's just the best player on the best team and that's why I want to start him. >> Go ahead. I know what that's >> even though he's going to split touches and probably make me want to die because Zack Charban will punch in a touchdown or something. I just think that he's the best player on the best team. >> Yeah, that could be the case. Um I have I have Walker a little bit lower here. I actually I got to get rid of Aaron Jones because Aaron Jones not playing right the shoulder. >> Uh yes. >> Yeah. So he um he's gonna have to >> So he's limited in practice. Not for sure that he's not going to play. If he plays with an AC joint sprain at that age, I commend him. >> Um, is Swift playing by the way? >> Uh, not confirmed yet. >> I know. I saw him practicing. >> Dr. Moore said that he expected him to play but maybe be limited. >> Oh, got you. Okay. Cuz, uh, if
He's out again. Manunga is legitimately a locked and loaded top 12 running back. I don't think that should be a conversation. Like, the workload he got last week was just too big. Um, if he plays, I'm actually gonna have to balance where I want to rank Mungai versus Swift in my rankings.
Yeah. Um, um, the one thing that Walker has in his favor, too, and why I'm kind of leaning towards him, is, um, 54% of the snaps is, uh, the highest he's posted all season, even including the games that Zack Sharp was out for. Um, and 50% of the routes is also the highest he's recorded all season, even including the games that Zack Sharpet was out for. And he also has 17% targets per route run. And he also, for the first time, I believe, since week five. Yeah. Since week five, he registered an inside the five rush attempt as well. Cuz before, for the last two games before the buy, Charbanet was the one getting the the inside the five attempts. And also in week one when he was healthy and in week four when he came back from injury, he got the inside the five attempts as well. So I think that the tides, it's not like the tides are turning for Walker in a major way, but I think it's like 10, 15% better workload than he was getting before.
Yeah. No, that's reasonable. Um, yeah. Tedoa.
Lamb and Tucker for Sto. What the [ __ ]? Go get Lamb.
Yeah. What is this? What is this?
What?
It's garbage.
Uh, what?
Yeah. Ryan here. Brock Bowers and Khalil Shakir. Chase Brown and Manki. Yeah, I think I'm taking Chase Brown and Manki there.
Yeah, it's just the point equity. I mean, as as high as I am on Bowers rest of the season, I also am high on LA, top 15 level wide receiver. And then, uh, Chase Brown, I mean, look at the schedule, look at the potential game environments. If he was a top 15 running back rest of the season, I wouldn't be shocked, to be honest.
What? So, call me crazy here.
Joe Flack, not Joe Burrow.
You're going to say, "What's the difference between him and Kiran?"
No, what what I was going to say was, what's the difference between what we expected of T. Higgins and Chase Brown coming into the season and what they're producing going forward?
Um, the ultimate ceiling that we expected for Chase Brown, but like, let's say the median projection.
Yeah, that's probably, this is probably the median outcome. Like they're probably going to be.
16 to 17 points per game is probably about the median projection we had for Chase Brown coming into the year.
Yep. And also, I, I just saw where you had Bucky Irvin rest of the season. And I, I see, I see where you're coming from, man. This news is sketchy.
It's, it's sketching me out, man. It's really sketching me out. I, I haven't heard like. And here's the other thing, too. Like, some people might be like, "Oh my god, why are they doing this?" Tampa Bay is not like this, man. We're not like this. We're very upfront and forthright about injuries. Like Todd Bull, like, "Huh?"
There's something sketchy.
Yeah, there's something sketchy going on. Todd Bulls Coach Speak Index obviously does a good job tracking who's reliable with injury stuff. Todd BS is very reliable with injury stuff and he's like dodging questions like it's not a good situation for for Bucky Irving right now. If you ever Shaw White, um, you should feel very good because I think that you're going to get at least two to three more games out of him at least.
I saw Jesse Morris said that I think he's coming back when Hampton comes back, like week 13.
Well, I've been trying to DM Avery for a while and, um, I'm getting, I'm getting [ __ ].
About Hampton?
No. Um, I offered him full trans.
So, I offered him, uh, because I know he's also pro Adun. I know he wants to make a consolidation deal because he's in a contending situation. I offered him Odun in exchange for Devonte Smith, Rashad White, and Kyle Manungi is what I offered.
Okay, that's not bad.
Given the context of both of our teams, I kind of have to strengthen my second flex. And he gets the up tier from Devonte Smith for Roma Dunes. That's at least like what I rationalized. I don't even know if he's down. He actually it showed up by his rankings by a lot of rankings that I would actually be slightly losing. So, um, I'll see because I, it's been like 20 hours and I haven't gotten the DM back.
Yeah, that's not a bad offer. Um, but yeah, I, I'd roll Nico over Bucky right now. Again, I know we said like two weeks ago to buy Bucky Irving. I'm definitely not buying him right now.
Yeah, hold. Like, I'm not buying any more shares though.
And I'll apologize that for those of you that took my advice last week when I was saying to buy Bucky. I thought it was a very pro, uh, timeline. Everything I was hearing from doctor sounded like he was going to be back after the buy. Obviously tough match up against the Patriots, but then he was going to be good after that. But it's just getting a lot murkier as we go on. Like what we knew a week and a half ago. I agree with the sentiment that you should have been buying Bucky Irving because of the information available that seemed like the best course. But we have to adapt to new information, man. If it's looking even more unclear that is it going to be week 11, is it going to be week 12? Is it going to be week 13? Um, at this point, you have to adjust and value him over those or or under those, you know, back in RB1, RB2 guys. Like you have to have them where you have them like 16, 17, 18. The days of him being like a top 10 to 12 level guy in our rankings just can't happen. And I was going to do the same. I saw you.
Um, but yeah. Yeah, I'm pretty much on the same page there. Uh, Silva here. I'm hurting with the by-week for the Cowboys and Bengals. Are there any waiver recommendations?
So, we can't unfortunately see the waiver wire unless you, um, have your team linked on a trade question because then we could go to your team and see what's on the waiver wire. Um, but we cannot unfortunately see the waiver wire as it's currently listed here. I would say that like you're actually in okay shape. Like I, I don't think that these are like bad players. I mean, like you have three Cowboys and two Bengals. Like you're kind of just eating it this week unfortunately. Like this is your big week of buys and then you're pretty much good for the rest of the year. But I think you have the best available players in and I don't imagine there's like maybe better. Like T.J. Hawkinson kind of blows. So maybe you could find like Darius Slayton on the waiver wire. Maybe you could find like monitor the Jacksonville wide receivers like if, uh, if Parker Washington is available because BTJ is banged up and Jacobe Myers just got there. Like if he's available, you could go after him. Alec Pierce is available, go after him. TZ Johnson is available, go after him. Like there's some guys out there that may be available, but TJ Hawk is not a terrible option if you had to start him.
Yeah, I mean, realistically, you know, you're going to be cutting. There's two guys that could potentially be cut after the week. The two cuts would be Troy Franklin and TJ Hawkinson. If you find something better on the waiver wire, I wouldn't be attached to those guys. But at the same time,
I cut Hawkinson a million times before I cut Franklin.
Of course, I'm not saying otherwise. I'm saying I would cut Hawkinson first, but I also think Franklin's expendable if there's something good on the wire.
The other sketchy thing right now, though, too, is that Harold Fannon didn't practice today.
Um, which isn't good. Yeah, maybe. Maybe. What? What? Who picked up David and Jojoku in the flock league?
You did.
Oh, interesting.
You gonna set Coulson Lovelin again?
No, I'm flexing him. Have you seen my flex options?
Yeah. I feel like Danny, I feel like you've taken four weeks of like t like punt weeks.
You're acting like I have a choice, dude. I [ __ ] lost two starters last week.
I know, but I feel like, you know, how early in the season you were like, I'm going to like punt this week cuz I got a lot of buys. I feel like you've done this four times. There was two intentionally. These last couple I've just been [ __ ] bent.
Yeah.
I traded for Puka because I'm like, "Okay, I'm four and two. I can take a couple punt weeks." I lost those [ __ ] punt weeks. And then Sammy's [ __ ] team has a T. Higgins bomb in a week that nobody else in fantasy [ __ ] scores. Like, what are we talking about? Jackson Dart and T. Higgins combined for 60 points. That was like five of my players in my lineup. Like, why was there no action? All the good players sucked ass.
Yeah, they did kind of suck ass. Um, okay. So, this this trade question is interesting because he does, um, so he'd be receiving KD. He has Bejon who'd be giving away. So, he already has Bowers, so he doesn't need a tight end.
Um,
and he'd be flexing KD over like Montgomery and Downs. So, maybe that's why you make this deal. It's also a start nine actually. So, he'd be like an every week starter for you for sure.
Maybe. But at that point too, like if Bejon's a 22, 23 plus point per game score and even if Gibbs is a 19, 20 point per game score, you're chilling. Um, and also, I mean, Arthur, like my trades would have been fine if I didn't [ __ ] have half my team get hurt this year.
I still, I still think that that Travis Hunter trade was one of the worst things I've seen you do in the playing in Fantasy League.
What the [ __ ] did you want me to do? I needed to open a roster spot and it allowed me to make the two for one deal.
I would have tried to at least trade him for a player. Like you could have dropped Jaylen Null or one of those bums that you're holding.
I, I put him on the wire for [ __ ] hours and I said, "Best offer gets it. This is the current offer." It's not my [ __ ] fault. A bunch of the bums in the league don't want to send me something.
Yeah.
Avery sent me $10 and we got it done. And then I got afterwards, oh, Nathan's out there. Oh, S's out. Oh, what about offer? Then why didn't you [ __ ] offer more?
I mean, hours is a stretch. You had him on the wire for like one hour and then you sold them to Avery.
Three hours. I did it right after my haircut. Dude, I can literally pull up the timestamps if you don't believe me because you, I sent you a $4 message and you said in the chat like, "I have an offer for $4," and I bet you the trade was completed within an hour.
Maybe. Maybe. Um, and still should have gotten Parker Washington. Parker Washington was on waivers right before, like right as that happened.
Yeah, he missed, he missed the chance of getting Parker Washington. And same with Tory Horton as well.
Like, I, I don't know what I'm supposed to do here. I had to open up a roster spot and I got two.
You were supposed to drop Jaylen Null is what you were supposed to do. Christian Kirk was coming back.
Maybe. But now I'm looking at my bench and there's nobody I want to drop anyways.
Yeah.
Like, there's nothing I can do. I also have to open up one next week for when Pacheco's back.
That roster spot's going to be me getting rid of Mariota after the week after that. Like, I don't want to drop Tooten. I don't want to drop Cororm. I don't want to drop Speeders. Like, they're all useful players for me right now, you know? Like, it's just, it sucks. I didn't want to [ __ ] do it. But hey, if I'm six and three, there's a completely different perspective. When you're four and five, like you can't think, "Oh, maybe hopefully I can get Travis Hunter week 15 on." I think, "How the [ __ ] can I get to week 15 on?" Like, that's where I'm at in this league. I, I can't lie to myself.
You know?
Yeah. No, that's pretty much where you're at at this point in time.
And it sucks. It's like, obviously long term, I want to value the player that can win me games in the fantasy playoffs, but if I'm not in the fantasy playoffs, what [ __ ] does that matter?
Like, sure, maybe I would get Hunter in a toilet bowl. I would rather do everything possible to secure my playoff spot than just feel at ease that I can guarantee a toilet bowl win.
Yeah.
You know.
Yeah. That's why I'm trying to acquire Hunter from Avery right now because he's actually in the exact same position you were in where he, like, doesn't have any roster spots.
Dude, roster spots are tough, man.
And Hunter might be worthless, like obviously. But, um, Avery is also, uh, without Patrick Mahomes this week, so I offered him Caleb Williams. So I was like, Caleb Williams plays the Giants. Like, you might as well take the extra coin equity.
I have a [ __ ] solution next year. Let's do two IR spots because half the [ __ ] league got hurt this year. Like, the one IR spot with five bench spots is [ __ ] killer. Like.
It's challenging. Yeah, challenging.
You can't just [ __ ] stash everyone. Like, it sucks. Um, yeah, ambiguity. It's a full crash out because it's the second [ __ ] year in a row my fantasy team has lost half their starters to injury. It's [ __ ] horrible.
Yeah.
It's also not fun when you lose. Imagine losing a player to injury. And not only has Mason only benefited from injuries, he victory laps your injuries.
Yeah. Oh yeah. No, that that guy deserves [ __ ] two little ACLs to his top two backs. I'm not wishing anything in existence, but if one guy deserves it, it's [ __ ] Mason to shut up his training staff [ __ ] [ __ ] Tell you that.
[ __ ] who deserves a swift ACL tear to Saquon Barkley. It is 100% Mason.
Yeah. And again, like, not, not we're not wishing ill will on the players. I don't need some of those [ __ ] little, uh, what are they called? Little morale [ __ ] what the morality [ __ ] clinic in the chat. Police morality police in the chat. Like, no, no, no, no. Obviously, we hope well, health to any player out there. But if somebody deserve, if there's an injury that has to happen, like, no matter what, God came down, Grim Reaper came down, he said, "Hey, listen, somebody's getting hurt this week." The one [ __ ] manager it deserves to happen to is Mason.
And it did happen to him. He just happened to have traded Scataboo right before it happened.
Yeah, and also, I get told all the time, "Oh, Danny, you have the lowest points for this and that." [ __ ] off. Like, nobody even talks about my injury luck. Everybody talk, anytime anybody else in that league suffers injuries, everybody's like, "Oh,"
I don't, I don't think Zach has talked about anything other than injuries for about three and a half weeks.
Or or last year, it's like, "Oh, S lost a couple players to injury. Poor S. Oh, poor, poor Sal McCory. He's had some injuries, dude. But when I start 3 and 0 and I lose my top three, gave me any pity for losing players?"
Dude, I lost my top three receivers and I basically got, haha, [ __ ] you, Danny. You deserved it. That's what the comments said to me. I'm not even joking you. I read comments when I lost my top three wide receivers and people were just like, "Yeah, but you like you were talking too much. You were three and 0. You [ __ ] deserved it. [ __ ] you." I'm like, "Okay,"
He does. He does rage bait him.
To be fair, I also rage baited him pretty hard a couple weeks ago.
Yeah. And and I play into it, too, because quite frankly, he just repeats the same thing. But apparently people say, "Oh, Danny, you just repeat the same thing. You say you haven't won in the playoffs." Like, if all he's going to say to me is, "Well, FC hasn't made the playoffs." What else am I going to say other than, "Well, you have the same amount of playoff wins as us." Like, straight up. Like, you might have made the playoffs, but until you win a game, you're the Dallas [ __ ] Cowboys. What are we talking about here?
Shout out to the goats.
Sorry, random crash out, but I'm sure a lot of you are watching for them. I'm not being the. Okay. Okay, fair enough. Fair enough. Because you traded for Barkley, we'll keep his name out of out of our mouths. Um, yeah, we'll, we'll just send you a screenshot of Mason's team and you can make a hit list on what you pick, Joe. No, I'm kidding. Um, incredibly small sample size from Mason there. Um, you need to pray for fantasy gods more. Yeah, I mean, I guess [ __ ] I need something, dude. Anything. Um, it's, I just don't know what to [ __ ] do. Like, seriously, like, do I have to look myself in the mirror and just say, "Hey, today your team's going to stay healthy, Danny. Today. Hey, Tucker Craft, we're not sending him sending him on a wham block." It's like what Mason does the bit. It's like, uh, my my player lost a goal line touch, so I have to trade him. Uh, he should have went and told his coach like, "Oh, I I actually need to be out there for the team at death." Did you see the bit he made in the chat today?
And I'm like thinking my head, I'm like,
I love how Mason's rage baiting you without even being here. But like, I see that and I'm like, "Yeah, I wish I could tell Matt Lafleur, don't send your number one [ __ ] weapon on a wham block and have his knee crunched by an edge rusher." How about that? Let's just do that. Keep him out of the [ __ ] blocking game. Why do you have that bum ass [ __ ] Fitzpatrick, dude? Why do you have a Luke Musgrave? Send those [ __ ] on the way block like Craft Cook. What are the.
Anyways, let's get questions. We got tons left.
Sorry. Sorry. [ __ ]
Uh, first is projected 103. Second projected 2011. So I mean, you're getting an early first here. Uh, I don't have a big gap between Wilson and London. So I will take the early first all day.
There there's a bigger gap for me and even still, this is the type of process move I think you have to do because they are what, a year age gap. I think Wilson's a year older, if I'm not mistaken. I remember coming and 24.
Yeah. And at that point, London, maybe he's a 17 to 18 point per game score. Wilson, a 15 to 16 point per game score. But I think that insulation's enough for me to make that move. Yeah. Yeah. No, they're very similar. 24.3 years old, 25.3 years old, and, um, both very good.
Yeah, for sure.
Obviously. Um, I'm gonna have to log out. Oh, no. I'm good. Um, Drock here, Caleb Williams and Bo Nix. I mean, I'm personally making this decision in in the listener league and I am rolling with Caleb Williams. I think that against the Giants, this is just an excellent matchup. And because I've already kind of talked about, I don't think Bon Nix is going to have to go berserk tonight. I think Caleb Williams will have to go berserk against the Giants because the Giants are somewhat feisty and Caleb and the Bears are not good enough to just blow teams out.
So, I do have Bo a little bit higher. It's very close. Um, obviously I mentioned my thoughts on the past final Raiders defense. It makes sense why I'd be higher on Bo Nix than you this week because I think Courtland Sutton's going to have a game because I think R.J. Harvey is going to be out on the field more because I think they're going to lean more into the pass. If I think that's going to be the case, Bo Nix is my quarterback seven this week. It's very close. is seven versus eight. But, um, yeah, I would slightly lean Nix here.
That's fair. Um, running back-wise here. Talk through this. I'm meeting.
Henderson. Uh, Stevenson, he's missing practice again. Although on face value, you guys are very good against rushers. At the same time, you guys do allow a lot of receptions out of the back field and a sneaky little game environment. Like I was looking at this, a 48 and a half over under between the Patriots and Bucks, considering I would consider both defenses relatively strong. I mean, the Patriots defense obviously strong all year. Bucks at home, their defense has, you know, been a lot better in recent weeks, I would say.
They've been a top 10 defense over the last month.
Like, yeah, that's what I mean. So, like the fact that it's implied for so much and I'd be curious like where's the sharp money at? Because I would actually even think the sharp money is on the over here just because of how the quarterbacks have been playing, right?
Well, I mean, Mayfield didn't play well before the buy.
Like Bua was injured and all that kind of stuff. I mean, it doesn't look like we're going to get Godwin or Bucky back, so that kind of hurts our offense overall. And it doesn't look like Dadeki is quite ready to return yet, if I had to guess. Um, but he was practicing. I'd have to look at the injury report for today to see if he's got a chance of coming back. The sharp money is currently slightly favoring the under. And most of the public money is on the under actually too.
I, I figured the public money would be on the under. I actually thought the sharp money would be higher on the over. Um, just because, like again, when you get two offenses, especially like with how May's playing MVP style and obviously when you guys coming out of the buy a week, you're going to have something to prove offensively considering he struggled going into the buy. To me, this is just a really nice game environment. I mean, 48 and a half, that's what, top three or four on the slate.
Yeah. Um.
Um, that's not a bad idea. Ryland, what, uh, what would you want to see in that? Just basically what I do on the the regular video. I because I don't cover the Thursday night game and match ups that matter, obviously, because it's on Fridays. Um, but I could do a reel and that would be a way to get that information out there at the very least. That's not a bad idea. Um, Jamar's on buy. Devonte Smith is the easy option here. Actually, I guess Sutton will be the easy option because he's going to be in the wide receiver spot, um, because he's playing tonight and I would go Devonte Smith over Travis ETN pretty easily. So, that would be the flex option for me.
Um, yeah, looks pretty good.
Hunter's out. Chase is on by. Not playing him over Lovelin. Healthy Swift, even I would play Smitty over.
Uh, there's one difference in the lineup that I have this week.
What?
I'm starting Mr. 84 at tight end against the Giants.
Starting him over KD?
With no KT. Yeah. Is Cole Kamat out? I thought he was practicing.
He had a concussion.
But he's. Did he return to practice? Okay. Did he return?
Yeah, I thought I heard.
Okay, so he practiced.
I don't know if he's technically. I think you can full practice and not have cleared the protocol quite yet. Um, but I do imagine he will clear the protocol considering to full practice.
If KT plays, I'll I'll rank KD above Coulson just because of that slight risk of snaps. But if KT's out, like I'm going Coulson Lovelin there. You don't have to make that decision yet though, so you're good. Uh, just keep that in mind.
I would, um, I would still play KD even if KT was out to be honest. But.
No, fair. Um, if KT plays, I'll switch it. But to me, if KT's out, man, like Lovelin straight up has looked more involved.
Lovelin's probably better than Bowers, right Danny? Someone commented that on the [ __ ] video and I laughed my ass off.
Did I say that? No.
You like You're like, he's basically Brock Bowers, what you said. I don't even remember. That's funny.
Sounds like something you would say though.
Hear me out though. How many tight ends move like he does?
Oh my god. Shut up.
Uh, Jack for the win here. Let, uh, need depth and I'm two and six. Needing to win now. Well, you never need to win now.
If you're two and six.
And redraft.
I guess it's redraft, so you do always need to win.
Now. I don't think redraft. Everyone's trying to win and redraft. Cory, you're going to tank in and reraft.
Tank for a better keeper pick or something. I don't know.
Um,
if you reasonable, bro.
This is reasonable, but like, I want somebody better than these guys if I can.
Yeah. I mean.
I mean, are we ready to have a conversation about how George Pickens has been kind of ass since CD Lamb has come back?
I mean, he had like seven for 80 last game.
Did he?
Yeah.
Against the Cardinals.
Yeah. Let me see.
That was the quietest seven for 80. If he did.
There's no way he had that many [ __ ] yards and that many.
Six for 79. Sorry.
Really? That is the quietest six for 79 performance I can ever remember.
He's been at nine plus targets. What is that? Six of nine games. And since CD Lamb came back against Washington, two of three games, he's at nine plus targets.
So if you need the depth and you need to win now, instead of dubs, ask him for Rashad White. Justin pick and Rashad W I would rather have than dubs just given that you're giving away.
Um, I like you probably like looking at your team if you have Bucky Irving and Rico Data, you need the running back depth then handcuff your own running back and play him in the meantime. Like go get Rashad White, George Pickens, and, um, and Justin Jefferson for Pukua. I don't want ever want to sell Pukua, but I think that's a reasonable package.
How about this, throw him back [ __ ] Calvin Ridley or some food guys. Throw him [ __ ] him Franklin already. I would actually rather give him Bill than Franklin, to be honest.
Throw Bill for Rashad White on that deal and see if he does it because some people might still think, oh well, Bill's the upside and Bucky's gonna be back.
Yeah. Yeah, you could throw Bill on top of it and maybe Rashad come back your way. Bill is [ __ ] ass and I would, I'm vindicated as such. So.
Um, Judkins and Gibbs is too much.
Yeah, Judkins and Gibbs got to be the pick there.
That's. Dude, I would salivate if I got offered that. [ __ ] That's a great duo of backs.
Yep. Um, let me just double check how many questions we have left because I need to determine how fast we need to go. Okay, we only have 17 questions, I think. Oh, we did have somebody Adam submitted a team review though. So, okay, let's let's boogie a little bit. Flashier have a ton of options for Flex. Need running back help as well. Um, okay. ETN is going to be in your lineup.
Um, you're not starting Harvey over Walker. Please tell me you're not starting him over Walker.
Let me see.
He's not a bad option this week. There's no way I'm starting him that high. I mean, like I don't have Walker that high.
I have Walker 23 for me.
I have Walker 23 and Harvey 24.
Yeah, I have Harvey at 29, which is where the experts on the site also have them as well.
Yeah, that's reasonable.
I'd probably roll with, uh, with Walker there.
Yeah, Scribbles would I think that actually be fine. And it's funny because you always watch the Cowboys offense after the buy for whatever reason. Like after the buy, the Cowboys offense just always plays a lot better. That's what I've noticed at least. When Dak's healthy, of course. When Dak's not healthy, that's a moot point. But, um,
I thought it was safe to take a bite because you started talking about the Cowboys.
No. Yeah. No, that's reasonable. Um, I didn't have much else to say. I just think like the offense going to look better. I think part of it too from a team culture perspective, you see the front office getting aggressive. If you're an offensive player and you've been thinking in the back of your head, holy [ __ ], our defense, no matter what we do offensively, if we make one mistake, we know that seven's getting put up on the other end of the scoreboard. If you see your front office go out there and acquire an all-pro defensive tackle, trade for a linebacker, you're getting over shown back, which was the captain of your defense. Like, I can see the Cowboys offensive players from a cultural perspective really getting back to the level of play because they have more belief that if they don't be perfect, their defense can actually get a stop, which I can safely say, dude, before the by-week, before we even made those moves, that Cowboys offense knew if they weren't scoring seven, seven was being put up on the other end. That's what. And that's a toxic situation to be when you're in offense. I'm sure you can relate to that as well.
Yeah. I mean, that was the 20, um, what team?
Bengals as well.
Uh, what team was it that we had the horrible defense? Uh, 2023 team.
Yeah.
Uh, 2023. Our team was [ __ ] horrible on defense.
Is that when we played you in the playoffs?
Uh, no, that was 2022 when we had last Brady year was when you played us. Uh, the first Mayfield year, we had a good offense but a terrible defense.
Oh, okay. Sorry. Yeah, my bad. Um, but yeah. Uh, in this question, you're going Jordan Addison, probably, right?
Um, I mean, if Swift is not playing, I'm going Manungi Buries.
Why did you pronounce Swift like that?
Swift.
Swift.
Oh, did I say it like that?
Yeah, you did.
Oh, my bad. Um, Addison, if Swift's back, uh, Manungai if Swift or Swift doesn't play.
Um,
yeah, I think Swift was practicing if I'm not mistaken. I think he'll probably be back.
Here. Uh, I can read it right now. Uh, Ralph, he said he sent us a message. I don't see a message.
Well, he said it was a follow-up to his team review. We can answer that.
Oh, okay. Yeah, we'll answer that after. Okay.
Um, uh, you never sit Jaylen Herz. So, he's in your lineup there. Even though Jackson's been good. Uh, Chimera, Pierce, Henderson. I mean, Henderson. As long as Raandre is out, you got to play Trevon.
Yeah. Very simple.
If for whatever reason Raandre played, I would probably play Pierce.
Yeah, I, I agree. So, like.
Um, Pitman's been banged up at practice, too. I think he's going to play, but that is something to monitor. On top of that, Pierce has been a legitimate 70 yard per game player this year. We finally saw like he last couple of weeks, what 28 combined targets last three games, I think.
Yeah, Danny Classic hyping up his own players that he.
No, I'm saying the classic Danny is hyping up players you traded away.
Sure. Sure. But Cory, there's the reason why I picked him up is because he was playing well and then he had his best game of the season. So obviously I'm going to be a little bit higher than you on him.
Yeah.
Um.
He's one of my highest drafted players on underdog. So.
Quite quite high on him coming into the season. Yeah. This is Bejian Country Mile.
Yeah. Who should I start week 10? Uh, so he's already starting, uh, Jefferson.
I have Smith ahead of Nico. I'm pretty sure.
Um, well, Swift's probably going to make it into the.
With no, uh, with no Stra. I have Nico at 17 and I have Smith at 14. Um, well, let me see where I have both of them. I have Nico at 12 and Smith at 15. It is also a tougher matchup for Devonte Smith.
Um,
yeah.
Um, I, I.
No, no, Straoud though. You're going to start Nico.
So, so he'll drop like to the bottom of this tier for me, but I'm still going to have Nico one spot higher. I'm gonna have him at 14. Um, yeah. If, if you prefer Devonte Smith to Nico, it's reasonable. They're back to back for me. I just, I'm, I'm fine with Mills, honestly.
I know. Nico Collins 13 points per game with Strad. He's probably going to average nine with [ __ ] Mills.
I mean, we'll see though, because like contextually speaking, the offense could be different with Davis.
Oh, I mean, I would play if you wanted to play Collins over T-Mac, I would do that. I have [ __ ] Rome over all of these guys.
Yeah, I didn't even see Rome.
Yeah, I mean, you're already playing Lovelin. Maybe that would be a tiebreaker because Collins and Rome and Smith are all kind of relatively in the same tier, but I would.
Probably back. And I. So I'm personally making the decision to play Walker over Vidal. I, I know there's some merit to playing Vidal over Walker given his workload.
I just, in my gut, I just feel a slugfest Steelers front. Every Steelers game is the same. And I don't imagine Kimani Vidal has a great game on Sunday Night Football. And I do think that Walker is just a much better running back than Vidal as it as it stands. And Walker did see a little spike in in usage this coming off of the buy as well. But I, I'm, I don't feel confident in that decision even though I'm doing it. Um, Southwalk here. Hall for upside wide receiver. Smart. No wide receiver depth. If Lamb or Jefferson gets hurt? If so, what targets to go after? Two weeks left to trade. Any tips for the next two weeks? This is a full-on team review that he's trying to get here. Uh, league is wary of trades, too. I mean, okay, so Bree Hall, I can quickly give you a little bit of a rundown here.
Yeah.
Yeah, you can definitely afford to lose Bree Hall. I think Romeo and JMO is not the worst depth that you could have there. Um, receivers ends.
This guy has good wide receivers and bad running backs potentially. I mean, maybe he would be interested in selling, um, Devonte Smith for Bree Hall plus or something like that.
Yeah, honestly, just go to those teams that need running backs. You can see on the on the screen here, whoever's eight or lower, see if they're interested in a running back. They'd have interest in Brace Hall, use that to go acquire a wide receiver. Again, Cory, we can't give a full team review for.
Maybe this 18 league, too. So, I mean, yeah, there's definitely some options there.
For sure. Um, appreciate that.
Refresh there.
Cory, you, you want to give full team reviews?
Well, I'm giving him. I'm still answering his question. No, I know. Seven minutes long. We.
We are answering. I, I know. It's just like, yeah. Like, um.
All right, Kate Stur here.
Wide receiver wise, Keenan Allen versus Parker Washington. Dude, I don't think BTJ is going to play. I'm starting Parker Washington here.
Yeah, he didn't practice today, so, uh, that's probably a good start. Um.
Um, Warren's in your lineup there. I, if Fannon plays, I would ra. Okay, actually, hold on. If Fannon plays, I would rather flex Fannon than any other option here to be hon. But I don't think Fannon's going to play if he was downgraded.
And if Shahee, if Shahhee plays again, keep in mind, he was traded this week. I would rather play Charbanet personally.
Reasonable.
That he was just traded.
Reasonable.
I'm not putting Keenan in my lineup, bro.
No, Keenan has been useless.
I told you.
We, so, thankfully, we do feel vindicated that for the whole month of September, we were telling you to sell high on Keenan Allen because we were like, you know, Keenan Allen September is going to be a lot better than Keenan Allen in November. And it's November now and the guy's literally like the fourth receiver in routes on the team. So.
Yeah. Well, so he had that spike week in week seven out of nowhere. Outside of that, he's finished outside of the top 40 wide receivers. Actually, I'm on half APR.
It wasn't out of nowhere, Danny. It was against me. So that's why it happened. And I have Lad.
So, Cory, he's been wide receiver 40 or worse in five of his last six games.
O.
Yeah, he's been killing you. Um, flex decision here. Jawan Jennings, Concaid, Toro, McMillan. Very easily one of these. Um, I'd probably go Concaid over the other guys.
Um,
Concade versus.
Him and Pierce Harvey.
Jennings in there. I'd go Jennings.
Oh, there's. I'd play Concaid over Jennings any day.
Yeah.
Jennings has been fine.
Top seven tight end for me versus like wide receiver. What is Jennings in my rankings? 34. Like, I don't know. That's not that exciting.
I mean, he's, he just scored a touchdown last week. He's been five plus targets in three in his last three games. 79 plus percent of the snaps in his last three games.
He averages five and a half more points per game than him this year.
Yeah. Yeah, but you have to contextualize the games that he left and [ __ ] like he, like he hasn't been fully healthy, but when he.
He's not healthy now.
I mean, he has been played for the last few games since he returned from injury again. La last three games five plus targets, 7.1 points, 8.5 points, 14.1. The other game we saw him above 80% of the routes this season, 19.9 against New Orleans. Like contextually speaking, he's a lot better than you're saying.
Yeah, he's not bad. I have him 35. Like he's not a bad play. I just think Concade has been way better.
Yeah, I mean, they're, they're similar projections. Um, it's tougher matchup though against LA. So if you want to go with Concade, I'm cool with that. But.
Game environment is also way better, too.
To me, to me, early wide receiver 30 range is similar to tight end 10. Like I don't know why.
Counts can [ __ ] ligma right now, dude.
Yeah, like my bulge.
Uh, Maroi here. Uh, we got start sick question. Ashen Jensy and Romo Dunay. I mean, I'm I gotta play, I got to play Genty, man. They use. He's a 90% snapshot running back last week.
Mhm.
Great though. Like, I would love to get Rome in the lineup. I just don't think I can.
Yeah, those are the guys you got to start. Judkins, elite matchup, Gent too big of a workload. It is a tougher matchup, but.
I mean, this is a good problem to have. You have [ __ ] Lamar, Gibbs, McCaffrey, Puka, like you're not losing any game.
It's Dynasty too. Keep that in mind. So yeah, I mean, that's how if it was a redraft, I would say, how the hell did you get that team?
28 first, second, and third at this point might be too much for Bucky.
In Dynasty, I'd pay a one, two, and a three and 28 any day of the week.
Well, is that early to mid or mid to late? If that's mid to late, I agree. But.
I mean, it's 2028. Let's assume it's probably mid because we can't really project that.
Fair. Um, yeah, I would, I, I'd be comfortable doing it if.
Unless from like a full-on. That's what I'm saying. But like what team he's offering 2028 1, 2 and 3. It's probably a contender currently.
Maybe. Or it's just a [ __ ] Bucks fan that doesn't know how to play.
It's probably like this dude. He's got like a squad. Give away my my 2028 picks or something.
Yeah. Um, also, I thought that said 26 at first. I couldn't see, uh, too clearly.
Yeah. I mean, a one, two, and three is about fair market value for Bucky Irving in the 26 class. So that's that's what I mean for now. I'll trade that. So, so Corey, that's what I mean. When I first read that, I thought that said 2026 because obviously I'm not looking at the screen right now.
Yeah, I'm.
Looking at it from Streamyard. Um, but yeah.
Um, one.
That that is a grimy [ __ ] deal.
Yeah, it is grimy. Um, Jensy versus Franklin. I mean, very easily Jenty here.
Can we get Henderson in the lineup somehow? Uh, we can't.
Nope.
Unless Garrett doesn't play, then you could actually. No, you can't still get him because there's two receivers there. Uh, yeah. No, this is pretty good team though. Um, Ginger said, "It wouldn't let me put the picks in. I'd give 2027 one and three." Okay, maybe we should tell the devs if people are having issues with these picks. Um,
league.
Uh,
it's one of our leagues, probably.
I mean, I think I have Benson and Pitman on one team.
Um, I would, I would take the one and the three here.
So, is it a one, a three, and a four? I'm assuming.
It's just a one and a three, I'd assume.
On what side, though? Yeah, like it's, it's probably.
One and a three for Ben. No, he probably just put the four in as a placeholder. The four tough either way.
For Benson and Pitman. Okay, that makes sense. Um,
it's not like you would you would not take the deal if it's a one and three, but take it if the four was.
No. No, I wouldn't. But I would rather have Benson and Pitman because I think Pitman is worth a one and I would rather have than a three.
I wouldn't pay a 27 one for Pitman.
I mean, depends where it is.
Yeah. I mean, it's our league. I saw.
I mean, it is our league. So.
Um, see who the highlighted team is.
Is this Tone Setter Truthers here?
He's Sharkbait. Wait.
Yeah, it is Tone Setter Truthers here.
So, he'd be getting Benson and Pitman from Shark.
I mean, his team is really good, dude. He's got a He's got a top three to three to four team in this league. So, I, I would, I would be willing to pay a late a late one in 2027 plus a three for a late three for, um, for Benson and Pitman personally.
Also, go up to the chart real quick. Um,
there's a [ __ ] 27,000 value difference between me and Throw Rogan.
Am I reading that right?
That's pretty crazy.
Oh my [ __ ] god.
I noticed that. I'm like, "Wait, what?"
Yes. Is that Skull? Is that who that is? No.
Yeah. He's 8-1.
He's 8 and one. Go to 12. He's eight.
And one.
How is he eight and one with this team? I'm joking. He's eight and one. He's what? He's eight and one. Go look at the league, dude. No way. There's no way. I know he's eight and one, but I didn't think this was his team. No [ __ ] way. This guy's eight and one.
Oh my god. So, for reference, I am also eight and one, Cory, and I have 500 more points scored, brother. This guy is 250 less points than like the [ __ ] 10th place team, dude. I have the same record as him and I have 500 more points. How does that make sense? I'm five and four and I have 150 more points scored than he does.
Shout out score, man. He's getting these gritty defensive wins.
Oh my god. How on earth is this guy eight and one? That is crazy. That is the craziest thing I've ever seen.
Dude, the thing is he's guaranteed a playoff spot basically even if he lost every game going forward. Aiden's going to get the playoffs in this league.
Yeah. Well, at least my hopes are open for a buy still. Jesus.
Yeah. [ __ ] I mean, he has got a better team than me and I'm points four wise is not in great shape. Maybe I shouldn't have traded Jonathan Taylor.
Um, dude, if I somehow fall to the two seed because he wins one more game than me and he's the one seed, that would be hilarious.
Um, but anyways, yeah, I would um I I think that Benson and Pitman is a fine return, especially given uh your competitive team. It's risky because Benson's like, you know, he could be nothing. But I I do think that he's worth a mid to late second to take a swing on because I do think if he's producing, he'd be worth a first round pick.
No, knowing the context those picks are going to be like probably four months younger than Trevon Henderson.
Well, that's what I mean. So, Cory, knowing the picks are going to be 109, 110 or later, knowing AJ's position. Yeah, I'm sure that'd be cool doing that.
Um, when you just see one and three though, like we got to know where that would be.
You know what's crazy by the way? Um, I was looking at my my database for the prospect model. You know that if Brian Allen was in this class, he would still be the youngest prospect in it.
Isn't that insane?
Yeah. Guys in the second NFL season.
Unfortunately for a lot of those guys that just look at age of players, it doesn't make them good at football.
No, it doesn't. But it is crazy that like he could have two more years of college football easily. I I'm just [ __ ] with you because I saw a lot of people like some of their rationale for like, "Oh yeah, Brian Allen's so good, man. Look, look how young he is." Like, okay, so what?
Yeah. Just say you're a perve.
Jeez Gibbs for D in London. Yeah, I'm cool giving London and D for that.
It's Gibby.
It's a lot of production though. I will say like D's producing at a high level in London. I saw some people say like, did you say bye Brian Allen? I don't remember you saying that.
No, I did not.
Yeah, I had. He's been consistently a soft sell every time I've done uh videos.
Adam Kever here, JK Dobbins, DeAndre Swift, Kimi Vidal, and Tyrone Tracy. I mean, I think Dobbins has got to be one of them.
Yeah.
And then I'd like I'd personally go Vidal over Tracy probably.
If Swift plays, I think I'd still start Vidal because I think based on Swift's condition, he'd probably be limited to some degree and him and Miyan were already sharing a workload. So, I'd probably go Vidal assuming Haskins is out, which he is because he's on IR.
Um, Marvin Harrison, CD Lamb or pretty easily in your lineup here. Or sorry, not CD Lamb, Devonte Smith, Tyler Higbee's in your tight end spot. Uh, you're going to have Harrison in the flex and then what are you going Dobbs? Tracy? Fannon? Probably Dobbs, right?
Dobbs. Tracy. Dobbs. Yeah. Also, apologies for whoever got offended for me saying Romeo Dobbs.
Yeah, I think it's Dobbs. I I don't know. Dubs, dubs, or dubs?
Um, it's probably dubs, but it was just funny because um I kept saying dubs in the video and like there was so many comments that were like, "Dude, like you know it's pronounced Dobbs. Like, why do you keep saying dubs, you [ __ ] Canadian?" No, I'm kidding. They didn't say the last part, but.
Well, the U means something else different here.
Major blight here. Troy Franklin, Xavier Worthy's on bye. Uh, Woody Parks, Jennings. I actually have a lot ahead of Troy Franklin.
Oh, Jennings. Yeah, I didn't even see Jennings.
But I like Franklin. They're both in my top 36, but they're like 35 and 36. So, yeah. Like, if I go wide receiver weekly, I have Joanna at 31 and I have Franklin at 38.
Okay, Adam, we'll uh we're going to answer the rest of our questions uh here and then we should have time to get to your team review here. So, um we'll we'll get you covered. We're just going to get through these other questions first.
Um, Quinton Johnson, Romeo Doubs has got to be in your lineup over those guys. Tight end. Bowers is in your lineup. Yes, Rico's got to be in there. Uh, you playing QJ or are you playing Henderson or Diggs?
Um, probably Henderson if Stevenson's out, right?
Henderson all day. Henderson's gonna be a top 15 running back for me if Stevenson's out.
Yeah. Yeah, I think he probably will be for me as well.
Um, KRS28 bye-week nightmare. How can I trade Lad/pickings to upgrade my running back room? I just traded Bijan for Puka.
Okay. Kenneth Walker and Lad for Kyren Williams. I just don't want to do that.
Yeah. No, Ky, if you make that type of move, like realistically we have to look at mid-second round type of running back. Like if that was I mean like honestly Derrick Henry's probably cheaper than Kyren in most markets. But like if you can get to Derrick Henry or say,
I'd be willing to do it for that type of back, but uh not for Kyren to be honest.
Um, I think Walker still has upside, man. I don't really want to trade him as a throw-in.
I I love how we've switched roles.
I I'm not saying Walker's great. I'm saying I keep saying this about Walker. He's David Montgomery. He has a standalone role and if anything happens to Charbonnet, he'll win the leagues. That's he's David Montgomery. That's what he is.
Yeah, it [ __ ] sucks.
Probably more juice. That's basically where he's at. And he's getting a little bit more receiving work now, so that's good.
Uh, with Bucky news, I need to pass on this. Um, I mean, I don't know how Bucky has anything to do with this.
CD Lamb.
Yeah.
I guess because like he needs a running back is maybe what he's thinking.
To be honest.
Well, like who's your other running back?
Uh, and yeah, I mean, you don't really have another running back.
Yeah, cuz Aaron Jones is banged up. You could potentially at that point, I mean, like your your depth is really weak because you lost Hunter. That's.
Yeah, I would maybe try and buy low on like Tyrone Tracy or something like somebody who can give you startable running back production for not a huge price.
Yeah. Like if you can make that type of move, I'm cool.
Franklin for him like for Tyrone Tracy after you make the.
Attach Franklin plus Harold Fannon and see if you can go and buy like a good Ducker or something like that.
Yeah. Like even if you had to like pay 110% of the price, I think you're getting a significant discount with this deal.
Yeah, you just kind of have to make this trade. Like even if you had to trade Jefferson for an equivalently valued running back, I would probably just do that after.
Yeah, you can figure it out after. But that that deal is just too hard to pass.
Um, so Manungai, if Swift is out, if Swift is not out, okay, we got to be for Vidal probably.
Yeah, cuz Benson's not going to play. Bucky's out.
Um, but he's going to be Chris Ave, do Higgins on bye, Pierce on bye. So, yeah, it's a lav pretty easily there.
No, Shaheed too. So, we'll see what happens in terms of.
I think Joan Johnson's sneakily a big winner from that trade. I think his target share continues could continue to go up.
Let me ask you this, by the way, Cory, because obviously the conversation before we had with Manungai versus Vidal. I will say if Swift is out, my preferred duo of those three between Dobbs, Manungai, and Vidal would be Dobbs and Manungai.
Yeah.
If Swift. Okay, hold on. Let's get some. I feel like we keep saying if Swift is out. Let me.
He returned to practice, but I'm saying like he's still like a question mark because he missed last week and he.
Yeah, he's full practice today. I think he's going to be fine.
Full practice. Okay.
Yeah.
I knew he returned. I wasn't sure if he was limited or full.
He was limited yesterday and full today. So, he'll probably be back.
Yeah, probably. If that's the case, then uh you sit Manungai. But um.
Yeah, you roll with. I think you roll with Romeo there.
Okay, so we're caught up on the other questions. Again, if anybody does want um to ask any more, we still have a couple more minutes uh before kickoff and after we're done this review. We're still pretty ways away from our goal of getting the amount of likes that we needed to get free questions to people.
Um, answer.
What's up?
Don't we still have questions to answer?
No, but we're caught up. I have it on the side here. It's at 53 likes right now. If we get to 60, we'll um we'll give out some questions last minute if we have a chance here. So, let's let's get into Adam's team here.
Um, he is number four in the analyzer and he said four and five uh record projected to be four and six after this week. Might sneak into the playoffs. Don't want to be stuck in the middle of the pack. What should I do? Okay, first off, Adam, you should go watch the video we put out earlier today. Yes.
Um, and specifically the middle section of it when we talked about being fraudulent.
Genty Achan plus not a lot of running back depth. Jefferson, Ted. This isn't fraudulent. This is just a young team that's not ready that suffered an injury to its starting second quarterback and George Kittle was also banged up. And you kind of It's just a not your year team. So, what I would probably do with this team is sell George Kittle.
But I'd wait till party is back.
Sell Kittle. Um, I would say wait because obviously he's not valuable right now, but at the same time, if Aaron Jones comes back from the shoulder injury, he's got a pass-catching role. We actually saw him be the true RB1 uh ahead of Jordan Mason prior to him going down with the shoulder injury. If he comes back and he starts producing at an RB2 level, maybe at that point you could liquidate him. You could attach that three to Aaron Jones and get a two or maybe attach, you know, Alec Pierce to get a George Kittle even Tyler Higbee as a short-term asset. Like you could even add in him if somebody needed a QB3.
Darren Waller, Luke Musgrave as well. Darren Waller obviously more long-term cuz he's out for a little bit but maybe packed by the bye and after the bye.
Stinks for anybody that doesn't know Musgrave isn't good. So if you're going to have dynasty shares of Luke Musgrave you should sell him because he's not good.
Yeah, unless he's like free99 but um yeah I agree on that.
Um, any.
This is just a this team isn't ready to compete yet. That's where you're at. So I wouldn't say it's necessarily fraudulent. It is cuz you can't compete, but it's not fraudulent in the sense that you have a bunch of moves that you need to make. You just have a couple of shed the fat type of deals.
Um, George Kittle once Brock Purdy is back on the field should net you close to a first in a half tight end premium. I would say it should get you close.
Um, George Kittle plus Alec Pierce plus Aaron Jones that get you a first round pick. If you can't get a singular first for George Kittle and a half tight end premium once Brock Purdy is out there, George Kittle's production is worth a first round pick. So um you should definitely get close to that. And then like I said, Higbee, maybe he has some value. Jacobs misses a game or two, maybe you could sell Emanuel Wilson. Judkins, God forbid, misses a game or two, you could sell Dylan Samson. Like, look for those type of deals. But, I mean, Dylan Samson's also like barely 21 years old as well, so you probably don't want to sell him.
Uh, this is just a team that, yeah, you're going to go into next year, you're going to, you know, add some picks, probably have like a 103 to 106 type of rookie pick and add that into the rest of the team. Maybe see what if you can get your two back potentially if like whoever has your two is a competitive team. Maybe you could offer some of these players to try and get your own second round pick back.
Yeah. Yeah. No, I think that'd make a ton of sense. Uh, try to make a move like that. I also don't think Dalton Kincaid is someone you have to keep. Even if you sell George Kittle, even if you slow.
I'd rather build to be honest. I think I step forward.
So, I don't disagree in general, but keep in mind too, he is also 26 years old going on 27. His 1999 birthday if I'm not mistaken.
Tight end's career.
Sure. Sure. Sure. I'm not saying that he's old per se. I'm more so saying because you got a young team, maybe you build around Mason Taylor. Like if Mason Taylor finishes the year strong, like who knows, two, three weeks from now if Mason Taylor posts two or three more straight games of seven plus targets and he's operating as the number two in the offense, like I'd feel comfortable dealing Kincaid if I got a strong offer. And realistically.
Yeah, I I I guess my opinion of Kincaid is that his production right now and what people thought of Kincaid before is going to weigh down his value to the point that he's probably worth more on your team than he's worth off of your team. It depends on the offer. I'm not saying sell him for scraps. I'm just saying like look to sell him if somebody's willing to buy. Like if somebody has a strong tight end option that goes down, again, God forbid. But let's just say Trey McBride went down for the season and that guy has nowhere to go. He only has like Elijah Moore as his backup tight end. Maybe he's got a random Zack Ertz in there, but the Washington offense looks untenable without Jaden Daniels. And at that point, Dalton Kincaid is going to look a lot more appealing to him. Like, can you attach Kincaid to an offer to get a one back for a guy that's contending?
Yeah. Yeah. If you can get a first round caliber asset for Kincaid, I'm I'm okay dealing him. But honestly, in a half tight end premium, if all you're getting off is early to mid-second, I think he's absolutely worth holding.
Yeah. No, again, just cost sensitive. I'm I'm not saying you have to sell him. More so saying just see uh see what happens.
Yeah. No, for sure. So, uh Adam, yeah, if you have any other questions, but like this is pretty straightforward. Any contending assets, any short-term assets you probably be looking to sell. And we kind of highlighted Tyler Higbee, Aaron Jones, Alec Pierce, and George Kittle as those. And uh yeah, those are basically what I'd be looking to do. I I think it's probably curtains on your chances to compete this year, but you never know. Like don't give up on the season. Obviously, keep playing and whatnot, but just don't like think you need to go all in or something because I just don't think that you're ready to do that at this point in time. So, you should probably like, hey, maybe you fall ass backwards into an eight and six record and you sneak into the playoffs or something like that.
Um, but I will say you're probably going to be on the outside looking in as like the seven seed or the eight seed or something.
Yeah, I would agree with you that right now, especially of course knowing the context that we do have a four and five record. We do see the points kind of middle of the range. Like yeah, like just see what you have to sell short-term wise and rebuild around your studs in the long term.
Yeah, it looks like he's seventh in points for if I'm doing my math correctly here. So you're basically just just not quite ready. This is like a house money team and you're finding out what's good and what's not good for you.
Yeah, for sure.
Um, do we have any more questions?
We can uh if anybody we we got to 60 likes, which we said would be the number that we would give away some questions.
Um, we probably only have time for like three or four. So, if you guys need a start sit question or a uh trade question, put your Flock username in the chat along with start sit or trade and we'll send you a voucher and you can redeem it um at the end of this live stream. Or if you even want to, you can submit it later and we can answer it on Sunday's live stream.
Um, but yeah, that's what we will be doing for the rest of it because we're pretty much just waiting for the clock to hit on uh this game. I think I set all my lineups. That'd be the one thing that I'm majorly concerned about here.
Uh, also, you will have needed to use code FSE um to be able to receive questions from us.
Uh, Dylan, what do you a start sit or a trade question because I don't know if you don't put it in there.
Sorry.
I'm just ginger snap wants a start sit. Ginger snaps. Uh, start sit question. Uh, Justin W wants a trade again. Also Omar, put what kind of question you want in there as well. Justin W, trade question. Uh, Adam wants a start sit, who obviously is team we just reviewed.
Uh, and Omar wants a starts or a trade question. Sorry, Adam. Why are you not showing up for me? Am I dumb? How is Adam's team not showing up for me? He just got a team review.
Double check to make sure that's your username, Adam, because for some reason I can't. Okay, here we go. Never mind. I'm dumb as [ __ ].
Um, start sit for Adam here. Uh, then yeah, I sent you a start sit Dylan. I figured that's what you were after.
Uh, fast fast fellas. Please find Dallas Lamb.
Bench. Bench.
Dallas Lamb. Bench. Bench Nico for Sun. I'd rather put Sun.
Um, uh, yeah. Uh, oh wait, where do I.
Davis Mills back to back? I have them back to back. Um, I have Sun once.
You got a lot of faith in Davis Mills, my man.
I mean, I have Nico Collins 14. Is that a lot of faith?
Well, considering he has like one finish above that this season with CJ Stroud. Yes, it is a lot of faith.
Consider consider the expert average is at 12.2 and I have them below the expert average. You have to be thankful. The expert average is off their [ __ ] rocker.
Okay. Well, you're talking.
I mean, I'm going to regret this cuz I [ __ ] face Nico against Mason here, but like why the hell is Nico Collins being ranked still as a top 15 every week play when he has not been that all year?
Elite player, bro. Come on.
He's not elite, though. He's been pretty mid this season.
He's an elite player.
Romeo Dobbs has outproduced him this year.
The talent is undeniable, bro. Come on. Shout out to Romeo Dobbs for being better than [ __ ].
Dude, relax. You cannot deny the talent.
Objectively had more fantasy points per game. I.
Just saw an unhinged tweet.
I'm going send in the group chat.
Um, [ __ ]. Sorry. Uh, you can go on to the next comment.
Um, yeah, I sent out some trade questions and some start sets and whatnot. So, if anybody submits theirs in time, we can rip to it.
Um, Dylan, you should have it now.
Um, for sure.
Yeah.
We'll just feed Nico. I mean, shouldn't Stroud have been doing that, though?
Yeah, but I I I said that, too. He had six targets in the 47% of the snaps he played.
That's a one game sample size. I literally don't care. And Nico.
It's the only game that we have season this year.
It's the only game that we have, Bush.
I I would rather just go off of no sample than one game.
All right, [ __ ] me. I guess I bring up something relevant.
Not good.
I mean, you want another game sample? He had 11 targets this week in lieu of the injury.
Yeah. And he turned it for like [ __ ] what? Nine fantasy points or something.
He had seven for 75. What the [ __ ] is your problem?
Seven for 75 I've ever seen.
What the [ __ ] is your problem with Nico? Holy [ __ ].
[ __ ].
No, he's not.
It's not his fault. His offense [ __ ] urinates. Nico Collins has averaged 13 fantasy points per game. He has objectively been terrible this year.
He's been one of the worst picks you could have possibly made in the first year.
He's been a bad pick, but saying the player is terrible is [ __ ] unhinged. I would encourage you.
He hasn't been what you're saying. He's been.
Yards per run.
The whole offense has been [ __ ] dog [ __ ]. What do you want from him?
What are we talking about with him right now?
Yeah, sure. He's not playing his [ __ ] best play play either. Is CJ Stroud? Is the Texans offensive line? Is Nick [ __ ] Chubb? Texans offense sucks. They're a defense first team. Their whole offense stinks. It's unwatchable.
Is that what you wanted to hear?
Yes.
[ __ ].
Um, also we have Dylan submitted his question here. Lad, Roman Doubs, and Courtland Sutton.
Um, okay. So, I'm definitely want Doubs in my lineup and Henderson's his other option. And I guess the question for me is do you play Sutton right now or do you wait on Henderson? Cuz I think both of do both of us agree that Manungai and Doubs would be the first two or do you have Sutton over Manungai or Doubs?
Um, I have Sutton after those guys. But um, dude, play Henderson. Stevenson's not going to play.
Well, you won't know that is the thing.
No, he's not.
You have to make that decision right now because Sutton is about to play.
We've already gotten reports that they don't even know when he's going to be back. That's a that's the word out of New England right now.
Is this your pivot option would be Kyle Manungai right now if if for whatever reason he did play.
I think the upside for Henderson's worth it because I think it's probably about an 80 to 90% chance that Stevenson doesn't play and in the 10% outcome. I'm cool rolling Manungai. I understand it's not ideal. You would prefer Sutton straight up to Manungai, but if it's a 90% chance Henderson with no Stevenson versus a 10% and honestly even if Stevenson played banged up, like we should have reports on just how healthy he is. Like even if he he played in the game, like how how healthy is he? Like obviously if he logs a full practice that one that's one thing, but if it's like DMP, DMP LP and then he randomly like gets assigned healthy, like isn't that going to be a little bit sus?
Yeah. Yeah. No, it would. Charlie, I didn't see you put your username in the chat here. So, if you put your username, I can send I have to manually send you a voucher. I cannot. You don't just get a voucher, unfortunately. That'd be nice if like anybody who was in the live stream that could maybe that's something that the devs could somehow work on if they could connect a Flock account to people who are in the live stream somehow.
Where they could like we could just send out vouchers to everybody in the live stream, but Mason probably um would have a million people getting vouchers if he did that. So.
Um, yeah. Okay. Okay. Uh, Charlie, what kind of question would you like? Also, a start sit or a trade.
Um, yeah, I think, sorry, I think I must have missed it. All good. Yeah. Do you uh I'll just send you a I'll just wait till you respond to I'm assuming you're going to want to start sit. Yeah. Okay, there we go. If you have time to ask it before kickoff, maybe it doesn't involve a player from this game. Also, uh, looks like Omar submitted a question as well.
Uh, already answered Dylan's for some reason. Didn't link back to him. Uh, wide receiver for big dumps 42. Shout out.
Um, Trevon Henderson or Rashaad White. I'm gonna play Rashaad White over Trevon though probably, right?
Um, Henderson.
Henderson.
Um, I'm playing Henderson if Stevenson's not not playing.
Well, yeah. I mean, they're both going to start. I think White is probably the better play, but it's a harder matchup. So.
Um, it's it's honestly let's let's end up being question, I think. So, it doesn't.
You're not starting Jack Bash.
Yeah. Oh, also, if anybody wants some free cash tonight, Jack Bash first touchdowns plus 4500.
Um, Omar here, Derrick Henry, Tevin McMillan, Zay Flowers, Brock Bowers.
I'm taking Zay and Bowers here, I think.
I mean, they're the two ranked they're ranked higher respectively. I have Bowers over Henry and Flowers over McMillan. Yeah.
Uh, he said, "I think I'm desperate at tight end because I lost Kittle." I mean, it's pretty decent to be desperate at tight end and have uh have Brock Bowers as the option you replace him with.
Um, yeah, for some reason this didn't go through here. Let me hit next question here. Okay, perfect. All right, we're going to head off here because the game is starting.
Um, but yeah, appreciate you guys for tuning in. Uh, make sure to check out tomorrow's video, matchups that matter. Of course, tier list on Saturday and uh, we will be live Sunday as per usual. So, appreciate you guys for tuning in. Peace out. We'll talk to you soon.
