3 Trades Change Everything in The Flock League

The Flock League16:41

Transcription

I hope I have my entire team's attention. I told y'all if you wanted to be a member of the team of destiny that the expectations are different. Well, maybe for a normal fantasy football team, being in second place in the league would be a good thing. Not for the team of destiny. For us, the expectations are sky-high. People, they expect only perfection from yours truly. And if you're on my fantasy football team, you're an extension of me. So when you disappoint, when you have us losing against Bedaki, a team that I don't want a single game all year, there will be changes.

I will be making trades this week. And honestly, I already hit Nathan's DMs. I went on a little site called flockfantasy.com went, "Oh, Nathan has Dererick Henry ranked behind Cam Scaboo." Well, let's let's offer Cam. But we're cooking some stuff up. We're making changes here. And honestly, I hope I have everybody on my team's attention when I say this because if you want to be a part of greatness, expectations are perfection and we don't accept anything else because nobody accepts anything else from us.

>> Eyeball emoji. Eyeball emoji. >> What? >> Trade in Flock League. Tell me what you think. >> Why do they do this while we're Why do they do this while we're live? Every time they do this while we're live, you made the trade. What is he doing, dude? That's a great trade for you. >> Pretty happy about it. >> What is their deal? I don't I don't understand the disconnect here. I'm just gonna tell them the trade. So, Nathan just traded Quinn Sean in the Flock League, which is crazy. You actually probably shouldn't have done that for the brand, but whatever. But he tra he traded Quinn Sean straight up for Cam Scaboo in the Flock League. I I don't know why people don't prefer Scataboo. Mason said he had to change the locker room. Mason. Okay. I I need I need Why do people not like Scataboo? Scatteraboo is very productive. I'm curious, but like we're so much higher on Scatteraboo than everybody else. But why? He's just scoring so many points. >> I I can't lie. Ceiling's higher. >> It absolutely is. >> I kicked the can down the road with a by-week as well cuz Judy had a had a buy in week uh nine week from now. >> Yeah. >> And Scott doesn't have his till week 14.

Welcome to the team of destiny. Quinn Sean Judkins. I need you to know that we only accept perfection. Second place in this league is not good enough. Everybody expects us number one and anything worse will be punished. And we got some action in the Flock League. And full transparency, I was negotiating with Nathan to try and acquire Quinch Judkins. What feels like these last two to three weeks, I thought we had a deal done. You guys would see the trade call. Uh Nathan had mentioned that 48 to 72 hours once he sees the status of Garrett Wilson, we had a deal on the table. I end up going to my brothers. So, he finally moves into his new place. I end up going, you know, bring him a housewarming present. We're chilling there. We're having espressos, you know, trying to catch up. And I see a notification on my phone from the Flock League and I notice I go I click into it. Quinn Sean Judkins for Cam Scaboo. I felt heartbroken straight up. I just felt I had a better offer on the table. Now I'm struggling. Okay, what am I going to do at running back? I can't trust Kenneth Walker to be my running back too moving forward. I'm sick and tired. I'm done with this Ken, you got to figure it out. Hey, listen Mason, you need wide receivers. I need running backs. I have interest in Quinnshaw Judkins and I know Roma Dunce would be the wide receiver one on your team. Let's talk business. Let's talk cuz I know you need wide receivers. Now that you know that I was potentially offering Roma Dunay, I think this is the fit. >> Yeah, that's what I need. My wide receiver one's DK Metaf and you're currently starting Kenneth Walker every week. >> That's why I reached out. I'm like realistically we are rivals but we are perfect trade partners here. So, I'm trying to figure out because I would agree with you, right? I have them ranked essentially back to back. I have Judkins two spots higher, but in reality, yeah, they're they're identical value for me, but I understand if most people on the site have it ranked Rome over Judkins, there's no reason for you to do the one for one swap just cuz that's where I have them in my rankings. Could could we be on the same page that while regardless of my personal values I kind of like I said have Judkins and Rome the same. I think we can say consensus values have Rome over Judkins and but would you agree that values would have Judkins and one of those wide receiver twos whether it's Medcaf Higgins Diggs over Rome as a package? >> Yeah yeah I would say so it's it's enough of a bridge to gap that I would probably need to throw something slighter back. Kenneth Walker is currently RB 32. I think if like he's scored the last time he scored more than 12 points was week three, but if Zack Sharpet were to go down, he could be a league winner. Like he's like the most premium of premium handcuff running backs. >> And that's how I view him right now personally. Um the issue is that even if I make a trade, he's probably the only dependable depth running back that I would have. Is there a fab number that bridges the gap between Judkins and Realm? >> I'm going to keep it a stack. I don't even know if I would do it if you offered the whole budget. >> So, is there any You don't see any trade involving Quinch Sean plus one of the receivers for Rome outside of you giving Bam Knight to Tuner Spears? >> Probably not. I could probably add FAB to one of them. Um because it sounds like you value them value it more than me, >> which I mean I already have the most fab in the league. I don't having another 20 bucks doesn't matter, you know. What would you think about Judkins plus the receiver for Rome, Walker as the handcuff back and then um I throw in Fab? I think I can throw Walker if you make it Higgins instead of Dicks. Mind if I sleep on it? Yeah, go ahead, man. I mean, we're we're talking on a Tuesday right now. Um, I'm just terrified cuz the last time I heard that, the player I wanted got turned around and traded 5 hours later. >> Yeah. Well, I'll let you know right now I am leaning towards declining, but like what are you looking at in terms of a potential deal then cuz like I again I believe the two for two is fair, but if you're apprehensive, I'm cool to talk different structure. >> Realistically, I think I would do digs. I think diggs with May is going to obviously dramatically outscore Kenneth Walker. I believe that Rome will start outscoring Quinch on Judkins. He hasn't done it so far this season. It's just like I don't view digs to Walker as an upgrade. So I don't view that as actually a better deal than even Judkins plus. Uh I mean I guess the last area we can look is would you do Judkins in your budget for Realm? >> I I don't think I would do everything because I like having a few dollars left over to just stream defenses. >> So how much left over are we talking like 10 bucks? because I can do that. I would do 41, which would put you with more fab than anyone other than Nick the editor. >> So, I was at 71, you were at 41. Can we meet in the middle at 56? >> Instead of leaving me five bucks a week, I'll do $4 a week. So, instead of 41, just call it 50. >> I think I can do the $50 in Judkins if you want to make that deal. >> Yeah, I'll do it. I'll send it over right now. >> Sounds good, brother. Hey, pleasure doing business. >> Pleasure doing business.

>> Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe people are going to come through and say, "Oh, Mason, you got robbed. You traded Cam Scataboo and some fab for Rome." And Scataboo is better than Rome at this point. In my mind, I'm taking a lot of risk off the table. Right. With Scat, he's a torpedo. He uses his head as a weapon. I had brain surgery when I was little. I know you got to protect the noggin. All right. Always made me a little uncomfortable seeing how he goes through and how he plays the game. Second thing is I played Nathan week 14 and Cam Scataboo has a buy in week 14. I was going to be at 90% strength. Nathan was going to be at 100% strength. And what I just did is I made it where now I'm 100% strength. Nathan's 90%. And we can move to an all-time record of 4-0 against the Young Bug. I think we take a lot of risk off. Maybe we overpay. We upgrade a positional weakness of ours and we make Nathan's team a little bit worse when we get to play him in week 14. So, I'll take it.

All right, Danny. We both know that I want to move Dak and you want Dak because this is a trade that makes way too much sense for both of us. You get to watch your boy every Sunday UFC Lamb. I don't need Dak Prescott now because Lamar Jackson is coming off of his by-week. Let's get something done here for Dak Prescott. >> Yeah, like I'm looking at it full transparency. I know how the quarterback market in this league works. >> So, my thought process is this. You just traded for Quinch on Judkins. You and I both probably had the worst running back twos in the league. Um, or before that trade, but now that you have Judkins, everybody gets knocked down a peg. Judkins is your RB1. Warren's your RB2, Walker's your RB3. So, of Warren and Walker, my preference to trade four would actually be Walker in a vacuum. This were a regular league. Dak for Walker is probably a fair deal. So, how would you feel about if I gave you Josh DS and Dak Prescott for Caleb Williams and Kenneth Walker? >> I understand the principle of it, but like Josh Downs I wanted to be so excited of coming into the year, but we're just looking at the fact that he hasn't eclipsed over 65% of the snaps at any point. >> Uh maybe DS is not the right asset to move in this deal just cuz I I do still value him I think more than most other people do. This is my final offer here. >> I give you Pacheco who again you can go look at the usage. He's been above 60% of the snaps in three straight games. Obviously, I'm giving you Dak. You give me Caleb the oneweek rental. Walker, the guy that I'm after, and throw me $5 in fab cuz I'm at zero and I've been at zero for a couple of weeks. I guess if I deal Walker, I kind of get off the buy this week. I do play Avery, already an underdog in the matchup. >> I'll put your feet to the fire here. This is my best offer. This is the absolute best I can do. I cannot do anything better than this because in my mind, Dak Prescott is way more valuable than this. It's just that in this league he's not. >> I think I can do it. I don't feel great about it because I know how bad quarterback valuations are around the league, but Dak is an upgrade over Caleb. I do have the stack equity with Cale or with CD Lamb. And realistically, if I'm going to win this league, it's going to be on the back of Dak and Lamb combining and going bonkers in the fantasy playoffs. So, >> all right, let's do it. Let's shake. >> Pleasure.

And it feels gross admitting this out loud, but uh I traded for Isaiah Pacheco. And now hear me. Don't kill me in the comments. I understand. Isaiah Pacheco is about as gross as it gets at running back. But just listen to me, right? Dak over Caleb, major upgrade. And quietly, I actually do think Isaiah Pacheco might be a buy low. I do think this makes my team materialistically better after these trades. And ultimately, I'll say it like this. Caleb Williams, Roma Dunay, if you guys wanted to stick on team lad, you should have done better. 10 combined points when I had to watch DeAndre Swift score 20 points on the other side for team Dev. It's clear to me you wanted out, so I'll let you out. You're gone. Ken Walker, 6.6 points on 17 touches. You're gone. We're in with the new. We're out with the old. I cannot believe that Bush, who essentially at this point has been married to Isaiah Pacheco in this league for years, goes out of his way and he ends up trading his guy Isaiah Pacheco for Kenneth Walker. My friend, I don't know if you've heard, but Pacheco is actually better than Kenneth Walker now. You finally waited for Pacheco to have any type of relevance just to send him to downgrade running back. Interesting move, but I'm hoping that when I play you in week 10, you have Kenneth Walker in your starting lineup.

Oh boy, the boys are trading. They're wheeling and dealing in the flock league again. Three trades in the past 20 hours. I wake up to, oh my god, everybody wants to trade. One deal does. The dominoes fall. Everybody gets excited. Trade, trade, trade, trade, trade. Um, let's break it down. Mason and Nathan have a deal. Cam Scataboo for Quint John Junkkins. Overall, like the fact that Nathan took Junkkins pretty early in the fifth round when it wasn't even known if he was going to play and now works out to look pretty good for him. The fact that he deals him is kind of funny, but I think it's fine. Like, look, Junkins just had a three touchdown game. I think you probably could have maybe sold a little bit higher than a Cam Scataboo, but that's okay because we know the Browns stink. They're a bottom three offense, bottom three in yards in total points. Just a week before this past game, Junkkins was taken off the field almost the entire game. And you don't want that type of unre reliability, like not reliable in the fantasy playoffs when you're trying to get into the playoffs. A guy that you don't know if he's going to go out there and score 20 or if he's going to go out there and get taken off the field and score literally three points. This is where things get extremely extremely interesting. You see Mason acquires Roma Dun for Quinch Junkkins. Now, this is this is by far the best move I've seen maybe all season long and happens to be Mason getting the wide receiver. Danny gave up way too much here. I get it. Danny has the two stud wide receivers whenever Bua comes back from injury and all this. I think Danny did not get nearly enough in this deal um at all. Like not even close. Mason kind of just wheeled his deal. Uh he basically turned, if you think about it this way, Mason in the matter of two hours turned Cam Scataboo into Roma Dunay. I mean maybe I'm the crazy one. I don't know. Then there was another deal that went down. I mean it's just a bunch of like somewhat even moves here. But Mason's easily the biggest winner.

All right. A few trades go down in the flock league. Not much to say here. Everybody's kind of just helping each other. Danny makes the puka and the kua trade and then goes crazy about how he has the best wide receiver trio in the league and everybody's talking about it and then he just de disassembles it immediately.

To be honest, I know why every single one of the viewers are here watching this video right now and that's because it's time for bare facts. Okay, the first bear fact is a swimming polar bear can jump 8 feet. I want you guys to think about that. I mean, basically Darnell Washington, but if Darnell Washington could jump more than double his height. Fact number two, and I guess a lot of these facts go out to our brothers in Alaska, polar bears, their stomach can hold up to 150 lbs of shme. I mean, I am not much heavier than 150 lb. Look, I could spend three, four minutes breaking down this trade uh between Bush and Danny. I actually did and I was like, "This is stupid." Danny gets a sack. Bush offloads Pachiks. Cool. I I mean, I may as well just list off baref facts at this point.

You know, there is no loyalty these days. Where have all the loyal men gone? Nathan trading Judkins after all they've been through together. Bush. You thought he'd never meet another running back after Pacheco and he goes and trades him. It's a shame. It's a shame.

So, today I felt led to really just congratulate Mason on um not being stupid with his team. I I am the first to admit that that Mason has a great team this year. I can't stand him. He drives me insane. He is wildly arrogant, but he does have one of the better teams in the league this year. But when you are consistently benching a startable running back every single week, you start to wonder like, is Mason able to manage this team well enough to actually go on the run in the playoffs? Again, I will say better late than never. Ironically, it did take a loss to the worst team in the league for him to finally figure it out, but he got it done. So, kudos to you, Mason. Kudos to you for no longer sending stupid Nick Chub offers for Garrett Wilson. Actually sending a fair deal. actually getting a fair deal done and building a serious contender.

Sorry, I thought I was done making clips, but then I go to the clips channel and I see Sal just speaking nonsense. He's like, "Oh, Danny, you got ripped off by Mason." You know, Roma Dunay second round pick moving forward. Quint John Judkins maybe a fourth top 15. What are we talking about here? I prefer Roma Dunes on face value, but acting like there's a three round discrepancy between them. Genuinely, what the are you saying? Yeah, this is my response to Danny lad. Uh, in terms of having a two to three round difference on these players and what the is Al Sal talking about. Yeah, I mean I think a dun is a top 20 player rest of the season. I don't think I think you're crazy if you're taking Quinton Junkkins in the third or probably even fourth round. He's my 46th overall player. So barely in my top 50 like I said. And I mean it doesn't surprise me that Danny and I have different values or just views on players in fantasy football this year. He's probably made like seven trades this year and arguably all of them I think he's lost. But I'll just say that I'm six and one with the most points in the league by over 100 points. Danny's on the verge of going four and four and missing the playoffs this week with the third fewest points in the league. So, you don't have to trust me, but the numbers are speaking for themselves.
