We just got some good news, which is actually that Travis Hunter's ACL is still intact despite him having to go to the IR. Obviously, the bad news is going to be that the expectations are going to be that Travis Hunter is probably not making any impact whatsoever for fantasy football teams this year. Travis Hunter is going to be more so that long-term option for dynasty builders. But realistically, because again that ACL is intact, like Travis Hunter probably is going to be 100% come training camp. So if you have him in dynasty 2026 still looks like he can be great, but obviously here as we look at this season in reddraft leagues, he's done.
Like I I'm not going to move him completely out of the rest of season rankings because technically like maybe they tell us later today, oh yeah, he's really only going to miss four games and then he'll be back for the fantasy playoffs. But yeah, I dropped him down to where like I'd rather have freaking Josh DS. I'd rather have like Keon Coleman. Now M. Jones will start week nine. Brock Party has a chance to be available. I think you actually will get Brock Party in week 10. Um, Ricky Pieraw is ruled out though. So, you know what? I actually need to go through I need to remove Ricky Pierol entirely from Flock Fantasy.com's week nine rankings. Um, Ricky Pearl hasn't practiced at all. This is, I want to say, his fifth straight week missing. Have legitimately no idea when you are going to be getting him back here. Um, Cooper Cup listed as questionable. You never start Cooper Cup. Olly Gordon considered dayto-day with the sprained ankle. Josh D's not on the injury report anymore. Dantavian Wixs is listed as out. Honestly, makes no impact whatsoever. Pat Fry not listed on the report. Neither is JJ McCarthy. Hassan Haskins is officially out this week.
So, um I don't know if y'all have seen the Waverwire video yet. I don't know if it's dropped on this channel, but um I will just let you know that Kamani Vidal does look like an absolute must start running back against the Tennessee Titans just considering how good this matchup is and the fact that everybody is going to be missing here in Los Angeles. Now going over and looking at the other updates that we have, Roma not listed on the injury report. Neither is Cole KT. So if Cole KT is back, that means Loveland is not startable. No interest. whatsoever in Coulson Lovelin this week. DeAndre Swift is listed as out. I will show y'all the updated rankings in the live stream tomorrow, but I you can see him obviously on the site right now, but we actually have moved I want to say Kyle Manungai to RB like 17th this week because it's a phenomenal matchup going up against the um sorry y'all got y'all got me distracted in the chat. going up against the Cincinnati Bengals. Rico Dattle is going to start and get the majority of the carries in week nine. So, Chuba Hubert, move him down your rankings. Move Rico Dattle up. Michael Pennix not listed on the injury report. That is great, great news for Drake London and sucks for me because I have to play against Drake London this week. Isaiah Pach Isaiah Pacheco listed as out. Puganua is going to play. Calvin Ridley is listed as out. Raandre Stevenson is listed as out as well. So, all of a sudden, Trevon Henderson looks startable. Like, you could very easily get Trevian Henderson into your starting lineup if you wanted.
Um, and then in terms of the Let me go through and I actually need to move Trevon Henderson up our rankings dramatically. I'm not going to lie to y'all. I was mainly focused in on trolling Danny in the chat with the Travis Hunter news. I did not even see the official word about her Madre. I need to see where we're going to move Trevon. Previously, Trevon Henderson was like RB 30ish in our rankings. I would rather start Trevian Henderson now than Kamar. I'd rather start him over Kenneth Walker. Rather start him over McGomery. I'd rather start him over Woody Marks. I'm gonna have Trevian Henderson as like a borderline top 24 running back in my rankings this week. I don't think he's a must-start running back because we've seen that this coaching staff absolutely hates him. So, they'll probably get involved to running back that I've never heard of here. But, um, yeah, for now, I think you got to plan on putting him in your lineup. And I'm going to move Trevian Henderson up dramatically in our rest of season rankings as well. Like rest of season, I'd rather have Trevian Henderson over Alvin Kamar at this point. Um, let's see what else that we have. Jaden Daniels gonna play week nine. Sucks for me because I have to play against him. Um Joe Flaco says he feels good about playing week nine. Raandre is out as we already discussed. See if there's anything else. Let me see if we get official word on Kyler. But um yeah, the thing with Trevon Henderson is you also have no Antonio Gibson in this offense. So I legitimately don't even know who their RB4 is. Like I don't know who would take work from him. Okay. Yeah. So, it does look like Kyler is going to be good to go, which is what I thought. I thought y'all convinced me in the chat that it was someone else. And then I will say as well, if you are looking at what we have with um Brian Thomas Jr., I moved him up a few slots in my rankings, but I'm not going um over the top with ranking Brian Thomas aggressively just because it's not like Travis Hunter was seeing a ton of volume anyway, right?
But let's go ahead. Let's dive into some start set questions. Let's look at some trade questions this beautiful Halloween day. Um, I know we're live streaming very early, but I got to pass out candy in a couple hours. And then I definitely needed to stream before we passed out candy because I have a 50-mi ultramarathon in the morning that I got to wake up at like 5:00 a.m. for. So, realistically, I need to go to bed as early as I can. But anyway, of course, um, we will be live streaming tomorrow, giving you injury updates, live streaming the next day, giving you injury updates, and answering your fantasy football questions.

But let's check this out. So Jay here, quarterback, I'm going to go Jaden Daniels over Daniel Jones despite the tough matchup. Running back, um, if Woody Marks plays, we're going to go Marks over Walker and Harvey. Walker would be your backup option and we'll go Tedaro McMillan in the flex. Um, but yeah, with Woody Marks, I have not seen any updates with him today. Let me know if y'all seen something, but he did pop up with a calf injury as questionable previously. Okay, now Power Branch with our next one. Um, quarterback between Kyler Baker and Dart. Obviously, Baker not playing. Um if Kyler does start against the Dallas Cowboys 100% he needs to be your start. Um where this game has an over under 54 and a half points. Then going over to tight ends Gadston versus Concade. Give me Gadston. And then in the flex we're going to go ahead and we're going to take Travis ETN with no Quinn Sean Judkins on by. Now Gman plant running back. Um between Perine and Brashad Smith. We are going to go ahead and take Brashad Smith for the flex. We will run with uh dear god you're Christian probably Christian Watson and hope that we get the big play. I mean he actually played significantly more this past week than I thought he was going to. But it does look like Woody Marks was at practice. Okay, which I have to play against Woody Marks. So I was kind of hoping he wasn't. But anyway, it does look like we had 100 likes on the stream. So let's go ahead and let's send out a free question in the chat. If you all want to qualify to win free questions, stupid simple. Drop a like on the stream and then drop your username in the chat. Um Jeremiah Barkley, Jamar Chase first, Bjon, Rome, and Chase to Bejon. Give me Bejon. Barkley to Rome. Give me Barkley. You pick up a lav. It's a 10 team, two wide receiver, one flex. So honestly, Chris is not going to matter much. So realistically, I think that's going to be a fair deal. And ultimately, it's just going to be down to your personal preference, and it's just going to be up to you.
Okay, now let's move this over to our next question. This is Bear Down. Here we're trading Kenneth Walker and Brian Thomas. And keep in mind, I did move Brian Thomas up our rankings slightly. Went from a wide receiver three to now a low and wide receiver two in my rest of season rankings with no Travis Hunter to Quinton Johnston and Jake Ferguson. Brian Thomas, Jake Ferguson, give me Ferguson. Kenneth Walker, Quinton Johnson. kind of up to your team. Right now, tight end, we have Andrews and Evan Ingram. Running back, we have Javvante, Kamani, Vidal, Trevion. Honestly, I think this going to be a fair deal and it's going to be up to you. I completely understand you going through and making it though. I just am going to be lower on Ferg than a lot of people are. I do think that the target volume is just going to kind of go away with Lambback. But let's send a free question over to goes Tommy. appreciate you hanging out with us in this live stream as always, my guy. I just found you on the site and just sent you over that free start question. Okay, now Hana, wide receiver, we're going to go Rome London tight end Ferg. Flex, it's going to be Tracy. And if you already started Flowers, it's Flowers. If you didn't start Flowers, it's Brian Thomas. Um, yeah, Trevion Henderson will probably probably be the long-term option there, but again, I would like to at least see what it looks like this week because he hasn't done anything all season. Not the expert trading Baker and McBride for Josh Allen. We have Gadston at tight ends. So, realistically, I am a-ok. Okay. If you make this move, I would probably prefer holding on to McBride, especially this week where he gets to go up against the Dallas Cowboys. And I would prefer trading Gadston, but if this going to be the best you get, this is the best you get here, okay? But it's fair deal and I understand you making it. Now, Mike Morrow trading Jacobs and Adams for Kirn and Lamb. I have Jacobs on my team and I'd make this trade in a heartbeat for Kirn and Lamb easily. Now, Dirty Milker is trading Pitman for Trey Benson. If you are trading away Michael Pitman, you need to do much better than this. Um, I really hope Trey Benson comes in and absolutely crushes for our basketball teams. But realistically, he has never proven anything at all in the NFL. And now he's coming off a significant injury. Okay. Now, J is trading Benson, Tedo, McMillan, Jake Fergickin, and Bowers. Ferg to Bower's upgrade, Ted to Pickins's upgrade, and you just got to pay Trey Benson to get it done. I would do this, but again, I am gonna be a little bit less excited about um Jake Ferguson myself, and I know a lot of people in the chat are. Now, fantasy linebacker trading Tracy for Drake May. Right now, quarterback, we have Caleb and Fields. So, I completely understand wanting to do this if you feel good about Trevon Henderson being your running back, too. But you could also wait a week and see what Trevian Henderson looks like. Nobody's gonna fault you at all for doing that. Okay. Now, 67 coming through here. For wide receiver, I play Nico Collins over Tedo McMillan. And then in the flex, I probably go ETN and Bowers at tight ends. But if you wanted to go Tedo McMillan in the flex, I'm gonna be completely fine with you doing that. Now, Big Dave here trading Kamani Vidal, George Pickins for Bucky Irving, and Brandon Iay. Pickins to Irving. If you have a winning record, I'd rather have Irving, Kamani Vidal to Brandon Iute. Give me Kamani Vidal. So, if you were to do this, I'm okay with it. But it has to be under the circumstance that you are 100% cool with missing Bucky over the next few weeks because realistically we do not know when you are going to get Bucky Irving back in. It's extremely difficult to try to project that out. Okay. now and you would never make that deal if you are not sitting with a winning record.
Now 13 here wide receiver between Addison and Juanale I'd probably rather have Juanale in the flexes Cal Manungi easy start with no DeAndre Swift and we'd probably take Jordan Addison in the other flex with no Barkley Bucky this week and in a full PBR format anything I'd play Addison over Kareem Hunt. I hope for my best teams Kareem Hunt does well this week, but it's tough putting Kareem Hunt inside your starting lineup knowing the receiving role is not exactly there and at the same time the big play upside isn't either. Now analog here at running back I'd play a Woody Marks assuming actually you probably go Bam Knight against Dallas and then in the flex tag against Xavier Worthy it's going to be down to if you end up getting h if Laco plays you go Higgins if Flaco doesn't you go Xavier worthy now analog here at wide receiver take Devonte Adams easily tight end Tyler Tyler Warren easily and then in the flex between Kareem Hunt, JK Dobbins, Tedo McMillan, and Gadston, we'd go Tedo McMillan in a full PPR. MLB pitcher says, "Tried pushing him for JSN, but he won't budge." Um, James Cook to CD Lamb. Lateral move up to you. I understand you wanted to make the play when we have this many running backs and we have a much worse wide receiver room, especially after losing Travis Hunter. So, this is a fair trade and I'm completely fine with it. But ultimately, I don't think I can come out here and say that like, "Oh, yeah, you're winning this and it's not even really close." Like, it is more so just going to be up to you. I think there's an argument to be made that you'd rather have James Cook rest of season, especially knowing that James Cook's already through the by-week, so you're going to get him an extra game in comparison. What do you get with Lamb?
Now, Salgi says, "Feel like I could trade one of my running backs for a top tier wide receiver. If not this trade, any other suggestions? If you trade both of these running backs, you'd be left over with Bejon, Tyrone Tracy, and then the long-term upside of Hampton and the long-term upside of Benson. And then you have the elite wide receivers. So, honestly, you could sell the depth here. What I'd prefer to do is instead of selling somebody like Zack Char, I'd rather sell somebody that maybe has a little bit more of a cap ceiling. Like I'd almost rather sell Bam Knight than Charbanet because you don't need the starters right now. I mean, I'm completely fine with you doing this. Obviously, you don't have to just go after Monro St. Brown. You can go after Puganua. You can go after Jamar Chase. You can go after Jackson Smith and Jigba, but or CD Lamb. Like, there are a bunch of different wide receivers you could send this offer over to. And I think your team 100% can't afford it. Now it's Archie here. Quarterback between Dart and Goff. Honestly, up to you. I think you flip a coin. I think that they are in the same tier. Four point passing touchdown format, you can make a strong argument for Dart. Six-point passing touchdown league. I think you go golf. For the flexes, you're going to play Drake London very easily. And then I think you take um I guess you don't have a dedicated tight end slot, so you just put Trey McBride in the second flex. Now, Mazola here at wide receiver, you go Sutton, even though it's a tough matchup. And then for the flex, I think you can go with Shakir over Doss. We have them ranked effectively back toback. So, it is going to be up to you. Okay.
Now, looking at this next one here, this is a flex call. We have no Travis Hunter anymore, no Garrett Wilson. So you're just playing Woody Marks. Like Tuba Hubard is not startable in this match up against the Green Bay Packers, especially now that we are getting told that Rico Dattle is going to be the guy. So I would go ahead play marks. Now Lance Wilson here for running back between Kenneth Walker and Zack Charbanet. Charminate has had the majority of the snaps. I mean, just ever so slightly, right? It's not like he's playing significantly ahead of him, but Charban's been used a little bit more. But Kenneth Walker has been so much better from a per touch perspective that I would actually probably go ahead and take Kenneth Walker and assume that he actually expands his role coming out of the buy. And then yeah, I wouldn't consider any of these running backs for the flex. I think you leave your flex as is. Okay. Now, Pand dog, Devontto Smith verse Brian Thomas. Um, again, so with no Travis Hunter, I did move Brian Thomas up inside the same tier as Dvont Smith, but Dvont Smith so far this season's averaging 14 and a half points per game. Brian Thomas is at 11. So, and especially knowing that there is that small possibility that you get an AJ Brown trade really vaulting Devont Smith up these ranks. I'd probably go ahead and take Dvontto Smith here. Like I they're in the same tier for me. So again, I'm not going to fault you if you really wanted to go out there and you really wanted to go make that move for Brian Thomas. But for me, I'm taking Smith. Okay. No. 30 rounds says he also has Rome. Should I ask for him over Ibuka? No. I mean I have Roman Dun saying I'd trade him for Ibuka right now. Gibbs the James Cook downgrade. Ladiga upgrade. Frankly, I think that this trade is just one that is going to come down to your personal preference. Like if somebody really wanted to make an argument for the Jamir Gibbs Lad Maki side, I'm not going to argue against them. If somebody really wanted to make the argument for the James Cook and Ibuka side, I'm not going to argue against them. So yeah, again, you do you on this front. It it really is just going to be up to you.
Okay, now let's move this over to our next one. This is La Fabio. Running back, you start James Cook, you start Travis ETN. Wide receiver, you start CD Lamb. Roma. Tight end, you start Gadston. And then for the flex, you're going to go Xavier Worthy and full PBR format, you probably go Shakir here over Kenneth Walker and just take the wide receivers that don't have guaranteed volume but are in an offense that could shoot out. Okay, now fantasy is painful with our next one. Says four and four must win weak and Devont just started playing good. Do I have enough depth to make this trade? Um, I would say yeah, I think you go ahead and make this pretty easily here, my friend. Now Jay Leaper like I think Tyler Warren is still an elite tight end. That's a very reasonable price to pay especially if it's Mus one week. Um between Isaiah likely and Jawan Johnson. Isaiah likely has already played so I guess it's Jawan. Let me be on the record. I do not like the idea of starting Jawan Johnson this week. I'd much prefer going to the waiver wire if possible. Okay. Then here for the flex bots. Yeah, probably played the combo of DJ Moore and Jameson Williams. Two absolute bums, but what's the alternative? We play the running back too for the Carolina Panthers. Do you wanted to throw Matthew Golden in there? You can. Obviously, these wide receivers have been garbage, but you don't really have any other options. Now, Jagg Garza here for running back. I'm gonna take Trevian Henderson over Kareem Hunt in a full PBR format. No Raandre and Trevian does look like he's in a spot where he finally is going to get the opportunity and what we know is a really, really good offense. Okay, now our next questions coming out from BTO here. Quarterback between Dart and Caleb. You go Caleb. Just too good of a matchup playing the Bengals this week. Running back, you play James Cook. Wide receiver CD Lamb, Roma Dunay, tight end Tyler Warren. And then in the flexes, I'll take Xavier Worthy and I'd play Trevian Henderson over Woody Marks and Quinton Johnston. And now Hunter Dan. Running back, we're going to go Chase Brown over Trevon. Wide receiver, we take London. And then in the flex, you take Nico Collins. I trev on Henderson's very interesting play this week, but if you have those solid options, you don't have to.
Now, Dudsonator trading Rico Dattle for Courtland Sutton. I mean, they've just named Rico Dattle the official starter, and they're making it sound like we're getting Rico Dattle that you had beforehand. So, I would be hesitant to tell anybody, yeah, let's go through and let's sell Rico. But, I mean, looking at your team, you lost Terry. So, we really don't have anybody beyond the top two wide receivers and you have s solid solid running back room. So, I'm gonna not I'm not going to mark the Sutton side as a winner. I think you can make an argument for either end here, but I completely understand you going through and making this trade because you can afford to sell Rico Dattle. Now, Alexander here, our best option on the bench right now, I guess, for this week is RJ Harvey. There's no world in which I'm putting RJ Harvey in the starting lineup over any of these names. So, I think you leave this as is. Now, Mando trading Brian Thomas, George Piggin for Jefferson and a Piggin to Jefferson, give me Jefferson, Brian Thomas to Lave, give me a lav. So, yeah, I'd make this trade in a heartbeat. Even with um Hunter being out, I don't know how much it impacts Um, Brian Thomas, we got Danny in the chat. Obviously, Danny going through it today. Not only does he have Travis Hunter in the Flock League, but also he has him in a ridiculous amount of underdog basketball drafts. But, um, my guy, can you let me know? Am I wrong to assume that this doesn't like vault up I don't know. It doesn't vault up Brian Thomas much. In my mind, it doesn't. Okay. Now, Jimmy Joey trading Gadston for Rico Dattle. tight end, you have Tyler Warren. So, this is a no-brainer. 100% you make this move. Now, lag up here at running back. Kyle Manungai pretty easily with no DeAndre Swift. And then in the flex, Nico Collins pretty easily. Beto trading Gibbs to Rice downgrade. Rome to Breeze downgrade. Worthy to Ibuka massive upgrade. It's a very fair trade. Honestly, I think the gap between worthy and Ibuka is larger than the gap between these other guys. Or you could view it like Gibbs to Breeze downgrade, Rome to rice upgrade. Worthy to egg Ibuka massive upgrade. So I think honestly it is going to be up to you there. And yeah, Danny I Brian Thomas wide receiver 22. So it sounds like we're on the same page. bitter Hornet says, "Should I spin big fab on Kanongi with the swift injury and need a running back too to start or do we stay put?" Um, Dael is startable with the most recent news, but um, yeah, for me, I would spend a pretty big chunk of fab on Kyle Manungai because one, Kyle Manungai definitely is an exciting start this week considering the matchup and two, it's not like DeAndre Swift's guaranteed to only miss one week, right? you could see him this injury lingering into the future as well which if that were to be the case then all of a sudden Kyle Manongai becomes very very appealing.
Okay, now our next question here is from Elijah Bryant for the flex between Kamar Pard Swift Reed Hunter. Two of these guys are now out. So, it's Pitman or Kamara. Do you leave it as is? And then, yeah, definitely leave Kyle Manungai inside your starting lineup over Kamara. Danny says, "Offering Travis to the highest bidder, by the way, best offer is $5 right now. Have potential bids at 10." I'm not interested, my friend, but best of luck getting as many dollars as you can. Um, Daniel says, "We had 200 likes on the stream." So, we need to go through and we need to um send out another free question in the chat. Again, if y'all wanted to get in a free question, all you got to do, stupid simple, drop a like on the stream and then drop your flockfantasy.com username in the chat and we'll find somebody to send that free question over to. Now Marcus here for the flex. We have no Smith. Um, so it's easy. You play Marvin Harrison. I'm not a big Marv guy, but doesn't matter who's at quarterback, you got the best match up you could possibly ask for going up against Dallas. Andrew says Travis Hunter owes me a start question. That's funny, my guy. Um, running back. I think honestly Trevian Henderson with no remind here over David McGomery. Now let me see if do they have projections out for Hindo right now? Yeah, Trevon Herson on underdog is higher lower 73 and a half total yards in reference like David McGomery is higher lower 59 and a half. Yeah, I think those projections stand by Trevian over McGomery now, but I'd throw Montgomery in the flex spot anyway. But yeah, definitely start Trevian Henderson there with no um Raandre Stevenson. Now, happy A here. Running back, you play Jonathan Taylor over Kyle Manunga. Still for the flex, if you wanted to go Kyle Manungai here, I'm not going to fault you for it. And then wide receiver, I think you go with Tigens. If you have Flaco, if he doesn't play, you can pivot over to Tedo. Now, let's send this free question out to Danny123. Let me see if I can find you on the site, send you over some free vouchers, my friend. But, um, also, I want to remind y'all, of course, if y'all wanted to get guaranteed free vouchers, you can always go and take advantage of the offer on Underdog Fantasy, or if you go over to Underdog Fantasy and use promo code Flock, you will get one $100 added into your account after you play your first five. And on top of that, you'll get a free Josh Allen pick, high or lower, half a total yard for Sunday's games. And you'll get free questions, so you can send those in in the live streams. And again, we're live streaming every single day until Christmas answering your free fantasy questions. But let me see if we can find Danny 123. And if so, we will send you over that free Q. And just found you, my friend, and just sent you over that free trade. We'll send you over a free start set question. Appreciate you hanging out with us.
Okay, now a response says keep three dynasty. We have Jefferson Neighbors Hn McGomery Adams five and two. Are we good or did we fold? So if it's a keep three league, it's not really like a dynasty league, right? If it's a three player keeper, I would actually treat it more like a reddraft. And if this wins you the league, then sure. But if you sold a first and a second next year for James Cook, obviously you're going to be put into a massive hole. I would like this more if it was like a five player keeper, six player keeper, seven player keeper because then at that point those picks would just not be as relevant. They would not be as important. But yeah, I think you can go ahead and go for this. All right. Now, Morgan with our next question. Trading Dart, Genty for Gino, and Bejon. Yeah, I would go and get Bjon here. Actually, this is a Superflex League. Superflex league, but you can make an argument that darts are QB3. Yeah, you can afford to go and get the elite up tier two bej obviously a lot closer in superflex. Now, JCO um here I'd play Trevon over Hunt and Woody Marks. For the flex, we are going to take Dalton Concincaid. And actually, I'm an idiot. We're going to take Daltton Concaid at tight ends. And then for the flux, we're going to go ahead and we're going to take T. Higgins. If you have no Flaco, you could pivot over to Kareem Hunt if you wanted. Go you Tommy. Here you play Trevian Henderson over JKR. Wide receiver, we go a and then in the flex full PPR format, you're going to go Teteroa McMillan. and tight end between KD and Bowers. Think you go KD this week once Bower shows us he's 100% you can go with Bowers. But yeah, I mean ultimately I would try to sell one of those tight ends with Tedo McMillan to get a true elite player for the flex.
Now Lions with our next question here. Um for the flex spots I would play between Calvin and Tyrone Tracy. We ranked them backtoback this week. Honestly, it is just going to be up to you. Can y'all please spam the chat? Who would you rather start this week? Would you rather start Tracy or a Kyle Manung guy? Please let me know. We got Kyle, Tracy, Kyle, Manungi, Manungai, Manungai, Manungai, Tracy, Tracy, Kyle, Tracy, Kyle, Kyle, Kyle. So, it does look like most people are on Kyle Manungai. Again, I have them ranked backtoback. I do think it's going to be up to you. Can I see if underdog has projections on Kyle Manungai yet? Oh, yeah. Never mind. Um, underdog is Kyle Manungai higher lower 96 and a half total yards. For reference, they have Jir Gibbs higher lower 98 and a half. So, I did not realize how well Kyle Manungai projects out. So, yeah, definitely go in his direction. And let me make sure that's reflected in our rankings. Now, that's honestly really surprising. Obviously, it's tough for me to rank the guys that we've never seen play meaningful snaps in the NFL. So, honestly, those projections are going to have Kyle Manunga ahead of guys like ETN, Jaylen Warren, Chase Brown. So, it looks like Kyle Manunga is maybe at borderline top 12 running back. And like, yeah, Kyle Manungai verse Woody Marks. I see that question in the chats. Kyle Manungai not even really close. Now CJ here at running back. Yeah, you go manungai over D and Char. Wide receiver gonna take Xavier Worthy. And then in the flex full BBR format, not going to fault you if you wanted to go with Keenan, but you could also go with Dow now that um we are being told Dout's the starting running back there in Carolina. I will throw some caution out there though that it is a really tough matchup that you have going up against the Green Bay Packers. So, you do have really bad projections for the Carolina Panthers offense this week. Okay.
Now, Jaw Rude here between Debo Jam. Oh, you play Debo Samuel easily. And then for the flex full PBR format, you could talk me into Quinton Johnson. I hate the matchup for JK Dobbins, but you probably go Dobbins over the big Q, but I would love it. So, Noah says Woody Marks is not on the injury port, and sounds like Woody Marks will be good to go. And then here for Bowers, we're going to play Bejon. We're going to play Kamani Vidal, wide receiver. You take the combo of Rome and Adams tight ends, Hunter Henry. And if you needed a flex, I think you go Kyle Manungai. Now Maya here at running back we're going to take um Kamani Vidal with no Haskins probably a must start player and he probably go right back to the well at running back Jaylen Warren Kungai projects out better than Jaylen Warren though so I wouldn't fault you at all if you wanted to go in that direction now Jubil Jubilant Linder I can't read um we're going to take Caleb over Goff with the match up against Cincinnati here for running back you go with the combo of Jaylen Warren Kyle Manung guy, wide receiver, we're going to take Chris Ave. And then for the Flux, you take Rico Doubt. Dowel, like I said, um everything coming out of Carolina is making it sound like they are really going to lean on Dowel how they did earlier in this season when Chuba was injured. But at the same time, I would at least throw some caution out there given the fact that um the Panthers project to be one of the worst offenses in the league. um alongside the Green Bay, I'm sorry, alongside the New Orleans Saints this week, only really against um I mean, it's a horrible matchup against the Packers. Okay. Now, running back, you take Trevon and then in the flex, you can go a dattle. Honestly, if you want to go dattle over Brian Thomas, not going to fault you at all for it. Now, checks with our next question. here. Running back, I'd go Trevian Henderson with no Mandre. And then in the flex, I'd play Keenan Allen over Zack Sharpet. If you really started Mark Andrews, great call. Like I would have never done it, but obviously turned out to be exactly what you needed. Now gringo chonies here wide receiver you're playing if it's down between like Higgins DJ Moore and Chamira DK in the flex I'd rank these guys as Higgins one DJ Moore 2 Chamira DK 3 if that helps you out.
Okay and let's move this over and let's answer some of the team reviews. I don't know how long we're going to be able to do this just because again um I got to be passing out candy. What time do y'all think I'm in I'm in CST time? What What time do you think I need to go out there and get ready to start passing out candy? General rule of thumb is the kids in my neighborhood, they're done trick-or-treating when it gets dark outside. So that assume I probably got to plan on being out there in like 40 minutes. I don't see any I don't see any of the neighbors out there yet. Yeah, people saying fiveish. So, yeah, we probably can look at a couple teams here. Um, Slush Monkey says, "Not really sure what to ask. I know my best move would be to get a better running back, too, or a concrete wide receiver, too. Thoughts on the moves we should make or players to target?" Appreciate you, my friend. and let's go ahead and let's dive into this. Can we see these yet? No, we cannot. Okay, so we are the number one team in the league analyzer and you already know it's a 10 team, two wide receiver, one flex. Um, so it's a 10 team, two wide receiver, one flex. Depth isn't going to matter at all. So, you already know we're wanting to sell some of these names down there on the bench. Here we have the elite quarterback with Josh Allen. We have the top end tight end with Tucker Craft as well. So, um feel really comfortable with what we're sitting at here. We have Gadston as well. I mean, obviously, you know, that I mean, if we could go through and sell Gadston in a two for one deal to go get an upgrade from um Tyrone Tracy at running back to go get an upgrade from Devont Smith at wide receiver, that'd be something we'd very much be interested in, but it is going to be much much easier said than done. But that would be one of the main things that we are looking at. Then looking at running back, we are the number one team in this league. We are five and three. Um, realistically, we've scored the second most points here. So, we are thinking long. Okay, here real quick. Just saw this. For the love of God, go ahead and write this second. Cut Isaiah Davis and pick up Trevian Henderson. Please, if you can cut Isaiah Davis and pick up Trevon Henderson, I think you'd put yourself in a much better position. Please make that move. And then, I mean, you already have the best team in the league. Then afterwards, I think what you want to do on a team like this where you are just absolutely crushing your league mates, in my mind, it's is there a way for us to sell the pieces on our bench that maybe have a capped ceiling from where we could ever project them to for elite assets inside the starting lineup. So, for me looking at that, it'd be like Tyrone Tracy probably has a cap ceiling. Jordan Madison probably has a cap ceiling. Is there a way you can send Jordan Addison to Nvanta Smith and get a better wide receiver too? Gadston and Rico Dattle and go get a better running back because you just have a tremendous amount of flex. um I mean, depth for your flexes and I don't even know there's anything else that we could potentially say with this team. You just have the best team in the league by far and if you were to go out there and if you were to make the play where you just simply drop Isaiah Davis and pick up Trevian Henderson, you're going to be even better in the league analyzer. And if you need to put in a waiver claim for that and you have a fab um budget, I would blow it all on Trevian Henderson right now, to be honest. But I think that's all I got for you. I wish I had more for you, my friend. But I think you're in a really, really good spot here. Ants, again, thank you so much for being a member of the flock. I know you're always out here with us, but you are crushing. you have a team that's much better than mine. So, it's tough to say anything other than, yeah, let's go out there and let's just make those two for one deals and see if we can get upgrades inside the starting lineup and sell the pieces with cap ceiling such as Tyrone Tracy. But, really appreciate you and hope that I was able to help you out in some way with this even though I know we probably didn't. But, let's move this over to our next team. This is a massive dono coming out here from C Mac and Cheese. I'm gonna back out, log in, log out real quick just so I can make sure that the automated messages are getting sent out on the site. But perfect. All right, we are back in here. C Mac and says, "In a trade heavy league, how do I offload Caleb to upgrade at quarterback? Big fan. Just subscribe. Really appreciate you, my guy. And I'm going to be completely honest with you as well." And first off, let me also send you over some free questions. Assuming that this is a one quarterback format, nobody is going to be trading for Caleb Williams, especially coming off the game that he just had. There's no world in which anybody's excited to go and pick him up. So, I think in a two wide receiver, one flex league, I'd really like the idea of like, oh, can we get an upgrade at quarterback, but the fact of the matter is like Caleb's not somebody that we're going to be selling. You just essentially have to go through and you have to sell like a wide receiver to get that upgrade at quarterback. Now, this is a league in which depth isn't going to matter a ton. And honestly, we are crushing right now. Right now we are 6-2. We are second in the league standings. The bench is garbage. That's the worst thing with this team and it's not even close. Right now on the bench we have like our best name Wandell Robinson or Wandell is not even on our bench right now. Wandell is inside the starting lineup. Our bench consists of Shamira DK, Romeo Dos, Olly Gordon, and that's about it. Do we really have Travis Homer on this team? Um, if Roshan Johnson and Travis Homer are actually on your team, you would cut these players in a heartbeat for Tank Bsby and Dylan Samson with both Saquon Barkley and Quinn Sean Judkins banged up right now. I would also cut Olly Gordon for obviously either one of those two running backs, but I would also cut Olly Gordon for DJ Giddens considering what we have with DJ Giddens's upside if you were to get to a Jonath I mean a Jonathan Taylor injury. I think that ceiling is going to be a lot higher than the ceiling Ali Gordon would give you if Devon Aan went down just given the offenses that they play in. And also I think DJ Giddens is a better running back to be honest. Now going over to wide receiver options on waiverss for me. Chamira DK just knowing that he is a Tennessee Titan. I would rather have Keon Coleman over him, but I understand that most people are going to disagree with me on that. So I'm not going to fault you for rostering Tamir DK. You can hold on to him. Tight end, we have Theo Johnson. Um, after the Cole Kat update that we've had where KT's off the injury report, now I'm probably in agreement with you where I'd rather have um Theo Johnson over Lovelin. So, here's the thing that you really got to figure out. The weakened points on our team, our quarterback, tight end, and our bench. Is it worth us trading away the strength that we have on this roster to upgrade those positions? I would say based off your league settings, if you had CMC Jonathan Taylor and then a garbage bench and a garbage tight end room and a garbage quarterback room, it could potentially make sense to down tier from like CMC down to a player like Josh Jacobs and pick up an additional wide receiver such as Roma Dunce. But that's not every league and that's not every situation because yours specifically here is a little bit unique in that it is a two wide receiver, one flex league. And because it's a league in which you only start two receivers and one flex, the last thing that I'm going to care about here will be your depth. The last thing that I'm going to care about here is going to be your bench. So, we are studs and duds with this team. We're going to be a hell of a lot better once Garrett Wilson returns, but we can afford to wait until Garrett Wilson returns because we are currently sitting at 6 and2. We are the second team in the league standings and the only thing that's going to impact your team is going to be the health of McCaffrey and the health of Taylor. If these two guys stay healthy, we are 100% set, good to go. Now, I don't think I make a single trade with this team. I think we optimized that bench with those running backs that we discussed. I think the number one thing for your team is going to be how do we go through and how do we just hit on the next Rico D off the waiverwire. If you do that, you're in a phenomenal spot. So, I would pick up Tank Bsby. I'd pick up Dylan Samson. I would cut Roshan. I'd cut Travis Hunter. Hell, I'd even cut Olly Gordon for him. I'd cut Ole Gordon for DJ Giddens. Start Caleb Williams this week. Caleb's in a phenomenal spot given the matchup. And then I I don't think you make a trade to upgrade quarterback. I think you play the matchups between Caleb and Flaco. If Flaco really is injured, he's going to be missing some time here, you could cut Flaco for Justin Fields. Obviously, Fields a really bad real life quarterback, but for fantasy purposes, he's viable just given what you have with the rushing upside, but I don't think I have anything else for you here. I really wish I did, my friend. I think you have a really good team. I think you just optimize for waiverss. Nobody's going to trade for Caleb Williams. I like the idea of improving at quarterback, but you don't have enough depth to do so. I think depth is the worst part of your team, but it's also the least important part because of your league settings. So, long story short, you have a good team. Change the bench just slightly. And then don't really do anything to mess it up because again, you are six and two. Let me make sure we send you over some additional I know we already sent you some free questions, but let me make sure you have a bunch of free questions in your account so you can send stuff over to me whenever you want. But let's move over and see if we had any more of the quick questions coming through now. Z Fence trading Nico for DJ Moore, Matthew Golden, and Aaron Jones. I understand that this is a dynasty league start 10
Format, but come this off season, DJ Moore is a zero. Aaron Jones is a zero. Hell, they're effectively as zeros right now. Come this off season, if you found yourself looking at this trade, I think you will hate yourself. So, I would go ahead and I would hold on to Nico Collins here personally.
Now, Matty Ice between Travis ETN and Kyle Manungi. The projections like Kyle Manungai have a lot more. I mean, I I hope I'm wrong. I hope Travis ETN crushes him. I'm starting Travis ETN myself this week, but he looks like he's stepping in as a three-down workhorse in a really good matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Now Joe Krueger says two early to mid-first with one being top three most likely. It looks like this is a one-quarterback dynasty format. If this was a superflex dynasty league, I would rather have the two first-round picks and Brian Thomas over JSN. However, if this is a one-quarterback dynasty league where those rookie picks are going to be worth just a little bit less, then I understand you going out there and you making this trade if you are a contending team and if you think that this deal wins you the league. Points per game gap between JSN and Brian Thomas is massive right now. Again, Ryan Thomas is still very much a very interesting player for dynasty reasons, but you could only consider this on a contending build and you could only consider that in the setup in which it's a one-quarterback format, which looks like that is the case, but and I don't even think you're winning the deal at that point. I think it's just a fair trade.
Now, Chowdown says, "Supflock nation, I traded Kamar and Godwin for McBride in week four. Looks incredible and just traded JCM, Sharps, and Woody for King Henry." Okay. Yeah, it is not a surprise that we are now the number one team in the league analyzer, the number one team in points scored. This is a very interesting league to look at because this is a 14-team superflex. 14-team superflex league. The depth is going to be incredibly important. The league analyzer is telling us that this is a non-PPR format. I don't know if that is true, but if that is true, then in general, we would opt to hopefully have a running back in the flex more weeks than what we would with a wide receiver in the flex. Now quarterback we are sitting with the combination of Bo Nicks as well as Jackson Dart. So, if we're looking at both these QBs, if they were my QB1, QB2 in a 10-team format, I'd be stressing QB1, QB2 in a 14-team superflex league. We're all right.
Going over to running back, if it is true that it's a non-PPR format, running back will be incredibly important. And a running back here, we have Javonte, top-10 running back. Loved ABS and RB1 in a 14-team format. Derek Henry, top-14 running back, so we have two running back ones in a 14-team league and we have the long-term upside with R.J. Harvey. We have Terrell Jennings here. No idea what the hell we're doing with him on the team. I would cut him in favor of Tank Bigsby or Dylan Samson with the injuries that we have for Quinshawn Judkins and Saquon Barkley right now.
Going over to wide receiver, we have Puka Nacua, CD Lamb, Rasheed Rice. So, we have three locked and loaded wide receiver ones. Like I said, I think that it's a little more important to build around running back than wide receiver in a non-PPR league, but frankly, it doesn't matter. It's a 14-team format where we have three wide receiver ones. We are very happy with this situation as it stands. And then going over to tight end, we have Trent McBride. So, we have the elite tight end. So, this team, it's incredible. There's nothing to discuss. There's no trade to be made. I would again want to go over to the waiver wire and maybe optimize for the upside that we'd have on the bottom end of this, especially if this was a non-PPR format. The way that I would want to optimize is I would hopefully be able to get the running backs with upside. So, I would cut Xavier Hutchinson. I would cut Terrell Jennings. I would pick up both Tank Bigsby and Dylan Samson. Or maybe you pick up Blake Corum instead because then if you were to get an injury to one of the running backs ahead of them and a non-PPR format, you very much could flip them with one of the quarterbacks to go get an upgrade at QB. But I really appreciate you and really hope that I was able to help you out in some way with this. But let me go ahead and send you over some free questions. In reality, you're in a 14-team league and your team is much better than my team in my 12-team format. So, I don't necessarily think that you're needing to do anything here, but I really appreciate you and really hope I was able to help you out in some way with that.
Now, let's move this over to our next question. It's going to be GT007 says, "I'm 4 and 4 in my league and I feel like I'm wide receiver heavy. I think I need another running back to pair with Jacobs. What trade packages or running back targets would you recommend? Also, any thoughts on the bench? Who to drop, who to pick up, who to stash? I could be off, so feel free to be brutally honest. Thanks." Really appreciate you, my guy, and excited to check this out. So, this is going to look like it's a normal team, not like the last team we just looked at, which was what we call in the business a god squad. Um, here, this is the third team in the league analyzer. It's an eight-team format. So in an eight-team league, it's going to be a spot where we really need to be optimizing for upside, upside, upside. And it will be always easy for us to go to the waiver wire and pick up a startable option. And in an eight-team league, because running backs and wide receivers are always easy to find off waivers, um I really do like having the elite quarterback and the elite tight end. It's one of the very few spots where you can actually predictably make a difference with your team. So when we have Josh Allen, when we have Jerry McBride, love to see it. They're both through their byes. So also, we're not having to worry about um what it would look like in terms of us rostering backups.
Now going over to running back, I have Josh Jacobs, Saquon Barkley as my top two running backs in a 12-team format. I absolutely love it. But here of Josh Jacobs as your running back one in an eight-team league. You have a below-average RB1. J.K. Dobbins is our running back two in an eight-team format. That's horrible. Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet are not startable outside of an injury to the other guy, which I actually really do like running backs like this in an eight-team format because if you were to get an injury to Charbonnet, then Kenneth Walker becomes a must-start option. Um, if you were to get an injury to Kenneth Walker, Charbonnet becomes a must-start name. It's like completely fine running back bench that we have here. But I'll say like with Kareem Hunt, are you starting Kareem Hunt this week? And if you're not starting Kareem Hunt, what's the point of even rostering him to be honest because he's going to be on bye next week. Then you could have Isaiah Pacheco back in week 11. For me, I would probably cut Kareem Hunt. I think you get a higher true ceiling with a player like R.J. Harvey to be honest where if you were to get an injury to J.K. Dobbins, I know R.J. Harvey is hitting your starting lineup. So for me, I would cut Hunt. I'd pick up Harvey.
Going over to wide receiver, we have Rice, Jefferson, Igbuka. We're absolutely loaded. If Ricky Pearsall and Chris Godwin are on your IR, ignore me. But if they're on your bench, I may opt to cut them for Khalil Shakir and Wan'Dale Robinson. And then obviously if you could go out there and trade for a better running back, too. I would love to do so. If you can send Igbuka and J.K. Dobbins to go get a running back that you're really excited about, go get somebody like Javonte Williams. Go get somebody like Saquon Barkley, somebody like Devin Singletary, somebody like James Cook, somebody like Jahmyr Gibbs. We would and it doesn't have to be Igbuka. You can sell Jefferson, right? But I agree. I think your running back room is the worst. I think this is your running back room is the worst part of this. So, if you wanted to go through and if you wanted to try to sell Jefferson or Igbuka with a player like Dobbins, get an upgrade inside the starting lineup there, I think that would make a lot of sense. But, let me go ahead and I really appreciate you and really hope I was able to help you out in some way with that, my friend. But, let me move back over and see if we have any of the quick questions.
The start, the trades. We got this one from Sean here at running back. I'd go TreVeyon over Kareem Hunt. If it's a full PPR format, then you have the big-play upside and a better receiving role. Kinder says, "This is starting off or do I ask for more?" Rice to Gibbs, upgrade Breeze to Addison, downgrade. Who does he have outside of Addison at wide receiver? If it was me, I'd ask for Sutton instead of Addison. Yeah, I'd go Gibbs and Sutton in that case. It's not a bad first offer at all. Like, I think that first offer is definitely very serious there.
Okay, but I think that's all I got for this live stream. Y'all can tell the dogs going nuts in the background, so I'm kind of a little bit worried. That means that the kids are already out trick-or-treating. Like I said, the fiance and I are going to be passing out candy, so I need to go and get ready for that. But I think that's all I got for y'all. I really appreciate you hanging out with us in this live stream as always. Um, tomorrow, I don't know when we are going to be live. I have a 50-mile ultramarathon in the morning, but it's in Austin, so we'll definitely be live at some point tomorrow. It may be a little bit later than usual because I may need to come home and take a nap, but we'll figure it out. I'll be live Sunday morning as well, answering your questions then. But I really appreciate y'all and really hope I get to see you out in the live stream tomorrow, Sunday morning. And I hope that you have a great Halloween.
