What's happening, beautiful people? Uh, we've got Thursday Night Football tonight. Appreciate y'all for being here with us in the building.
The report just came through and it hit like crack. Jaden Daniels fully practices again Thursday. Um, boy. Uh, very excited to see him back uh for Washington. Must must win game. Woody Marks added to the injury report. So, you know, we can't we just can't escape it. If something positive happened, something negative is bound to happen to team Zack in the Flock League. But the good news about the Woody Mark stuff is he was still um limited. What you would hate to see is an inactive, but still limited. So um that is not a death sentence um for Mr. Woody Marks, but appreciate y'all being here with us. Uh we are going to answer we will answer all super chats after sight questions. Um we have committed to that all year and we're going to continue to commit to that. But we do appreciate you guys. We want to give you every opportunity to ask a question no matter how you want to do it. Uh but we do appreciate you being here. We have a giveaway tonight. Um and we'll do that giveaway right before Thursday Night Football kicks off. All you have to do to enter is like the stream and type TNF into the chat. Uh just like so and you will be entered. Yeah.
You got anyone in the flock league playing in tonight's game? Um I guess we'll never know. I am muted. I'm muted. I apologize. Um I am going against um Lamar Jackson and Z Flowers tonight. I don't have anyone tonight playing, so I'm believing for Lamar and Zay to not do well tonight. Um, I need this to be a big Derrick Henry game. I need three touchdowns for Derrick Henry. Just go crazy. Godspeed. Godspeed, brother. We'll wait and see. We'll wait and see. But that's what people were saying to me last week. They had Justin Jefferson and and um Jordan Addison, and I ended up pulling out the W. So, yep. It's going to be a quiet one for Lamar.
Uh let's see. Appreciate y'all for being here. Uh let's go ahead and jump straight into the questions we've got here. Ricky to start. He would be sending away Kairen Williams, Rasheed Jahed for Drake London. Um I don't I'm not going to say Rasheed Jahed is pointless. He He's like a flexible option in a deeper league, but he's not someone that would stop me from going out and getting a running back that I feel I can start each and every week. someone who's already passed their buy and Kron Williams. So, um, if you need running back, I think this is relatively fair. This is about as even as it gets.
Well, he's sending away Kiran Williams and getting Drake London. So, that's correct. Right. So, if I'm reading the same and the opposite for me. Yeah. Yeah. So, if you if you need running back, then I understand it. Just depends on your running back room. If you get a Kyrie Williams, I'm looking at his running back room. If he sends Kiran, he has Breece and JCM. So, yeah, it's not ideal, unfortunately. I think you should probably actually hold now that we're looking at your team with with all the context. I don't think you have the running back room to make a you're weak at both spots, but this just creates another problem. So, I'd actually probably hold with what you have there.
J Tran Leopard says, "Not sure if I even need to make a trade. I'm six and two. They'd send away Bree for a Dunay." Um, if you can get a Dunes, I'll I'll take that any day. Yeah. 14 team league. If you're solid at running back, I'd prefer a Dun. the rest of the year anyway. So, Karen, Woody, Benson, Kamani. Yeah, it's a tough one. Close.
Benon says, "Up fellas. Should we be worried about Ibuka's schedule? If so, who would you move him for running back, wide receiver?" Uh, no. Look, I'm more worried about sk like schedule when it comes to players who um are not in how do I describe this? pick Baker Mayfield. I don't care what schedule it is. Like Baker Mayfield's going to sling the ball. He's going to find his guys. You know, there are certain names for sure like Jaylen Wadd, you're like, "All right, what is Tua going to do against this defense?" Like, "How can I rely on Tua?" When you have a quarterback like Baker Mayfield schedule doesn't go out the window, but you're almost like, I just know that he's going to come through for me. So, I mean, I I would say no. But if you're going to trade Ibuka right now on the flock site, you know, equivalent names are London, uh, a Dunay, but I'm not going to send them away for like an Adams, a Wilson, a Nico, a Pickings, a Manki, Sutton, Flowers, a Lav Pitman, like any of these names. I mean, if you can go out and get a Rice, maybe a Jefferson, fine. But outside of that, I I just think you are better off holding.
Yeah, I I agree. I think you're better off holding. I don't think you should trade for for anything unless you feel like you're getting a significant upgrade.
Um, Lenin P here is sending away Mongai at Franklin for Bucky. Yeah, if you can get Bucky for all these guys, I'll do that in a heartbeat. Yeah, I like it a lot. Um, and obviously we don't know for sure if Buckyy's back next week. You know, we've said that before, we'll say it again. If it feels like he should be back, but we don't know that for certain. But assuming he is back next week, I'm I'd be a huge fan of this trade. Uh Manongi and Franklin are not startable names. And you know, you go and you look at um a Franklin Manongi, they could be on waiverwires in some leagues, you know, so I I'd be fine to take Bucky there. I basically view that as like getting Bucky for ETN.
Um struggling at running back and flex Barkley and Bucky on buy. Michael says he's starting Drake May. uh at running back. No Bucky, no Seaquan. Yeah, I guess if Woody plays you play him if if he's gonna be okay and then it would be well well I can only speak for myself but this would be ETN and Bam Knight for me first um Knight going up against the Cowboys um even before you know Woody with that injury and then I would start Kareem Hunts assuming there is no PCO option. Yeah, you know what you might be right here. Uh but if Woody is healthy, he's he's good. He he'll be a fine play here. I just prefer Kareem in that offense a little bit more.
Yeah. Um Darcy, um sending away ET and Lad for Tyrone and Nico. Um I'll keep ETN and Lad here. Um Lad and Nico I I is a tossup. I don't think I know who I prefer. Uh but then between Travis and and uh Tyrone, I still prefer Travis. Uh, but it's about about as even as a trade gets. I just I prefer Yeah, I think Tyrone towards the second half of the season could definitely get better, but it's a tough um rest of the season schedule. So, I can understand that.
Yeah. Um stake here says outlook on Jefferson rest of the season or is this stupid? You sending away Breeo and AJ Brown for Trey Benson and Justin Jefferson? Well, look, I mean, I I I'll be honest with you, Tired Stake. I don't think anyone can really tell you for certain if Jefferson outsc ores AJ Brown rest of the year on a points per game basis. Um, no one knows that answer. You know, we had two games this year where McCarthy was healthy. He actually got injured in the third quarter against Atlanta, but one of those games was week one against Chicago, 14.8 points. Uh, it was not a high uh passing, how do I explain this better? The they weren't slinging it through the air with McCarthy. I think he had like what was it 20 passing attempts? Let me go back and check. So my concern is with both of their running backs healthy, how much do they want to throw the ball? How much do they trust JJ to throw the ball? 20 and 21 times. So just about 20 times per game when he was a starter. You look at when Carson Wentz stepped in. I mean, you're looking at games with 46, 34, 42 passing attempts. Um I don't know how much they trust him. you know, we don't know how much he can support a receiver like Justin Jefferson uh and Jordan Addison. Now, if I had to put my money, I would bet on Jefferson outscoring AJ Brown, but then you have to ask the question between Trey Benson and Bruce Hall. You know, when is Trey Benson actually back? Uh the rest of season schedule isn't that good. I do love Trey Benson as well, but I I I I am saying all this to say like I could see this going either way. Um I'll probably lean the Jefferson side of this if you can wait on Benson. Um, and let's say you looked at your roster, you said, "You know what? For the next two to three weeks, I can wait on Vincent up. That's okay." Then I'd be fine to do that. But, uh, there's a lot of unknowns, I would say. Yeah. A lot of question marks there for sure.
Um, all right. The next one says, "The by the buy." It says, "Flex Nico. Nico ranks higher but bad defense." Um, okay. Starting Drake May at the running back position. This is going to be Woody. Yeah. So, Woody for me and then Bam for Zach at the flex option is going to be Yeah, I need to double check my rankings. Yeah, Nico. Interesting. No certain on Nico for me. Fine. I'm going to go Nico Collins there. Okay. Yeah. Um, I get that honestly with Tyler Shuck's first game. Like, I can understand. I just I know Certain's out. It's still really good defense. That's what concerns me. Um, but I can see it going either way.
Uh, someone said, "Hey guys, this is Ricky. You judged like you we had the wrong team or something." Okay. Well, yeah, this just always happens. Um, I don't know why. So he has Mixon, Samson, Harvey, White, Bejon, Taylor. Okay. So in that case, if you have Bejon and Taylor, then you can definitely afford to get rid of Kirn. Um, yeah, I'm fine with that. Hopefully that's helpful, man. We're fine with that trade. I mean, that's that is technically what we said before, but that, you know, we said that that it's even both sides, but hopefully that is helpful. Yeah. All right. Yeah.
Um, what's the next one here? Um, XCBS. I don't know how to say that. Javvante Williams, Kamani Vadal, Rome Adun, you're sending away and you're receiving Bucky Walker, AJ Brown, and Tyler Warren. Um, okay. So, I guess you can say, yeah. Wow. Javvante and Bucky I would say are a wash. Roma Dunay and guess you can put Tyler Warren there as a wash. I guess I I want the package. I'm okay with the package. If Buckyy's fine then you get an extra Kenneth Walker. Um you get a tight end here and you get AJ Brown. Just depend is it one quarterback 10 team start eight. So not only that you're getting depth there as well. Your running backs will be Derek Henry with Bucky Irving, Kenneth Walker, and then your wide receiver without Roma Dunay would be um AJ Brown, Lad Xavier. So, it hurts your wide receiver room a little bit. It definitely helps your tight end room. And then you can sell Gazden or sell Warren, however way. So, I'll take the package.
Yeah, I'm pretty I'm pretty indifferent on this, honestly. Uh, I think it's it's for the most part a wash. Uh, if you improve at tight end, then then there's every reason to do it, you know.
Yeah. Childra start sit question. Starting Josh Allen, Javvante, Warren at wide receiver 2, this would be McMillan for me. Um, then at Flex, you're between names like Dowel and Wedale. Um, and Gadston. I might go Gadston there. I go Gadston there. Yeah. Yeah, I'm go Gazden. So, I'm right there with you.
Okay. Mhm. Uh, is next here. Drake May or Justin Herbert? I think I have um Herbert higher than Drake May this week. They're actually back to back just based off um Drake May's matchup, but I guess both are in interesting match. One's in a tougher matchup. Herbert's in an easier matchup where he probably doesn't have to throw the ball, I guess you can say. Yeah. So, um, yeah, for me, I'm just starting Drake May every week. I mean, he's in the category for me of every week. Doesn't matter what the what the matchup is. I mean, he's a superstar at this point. You know, we have a saying, keep it simple, stupid. Start your stars. I think that's exactly what Drake May is at this point of the year. Um, I mean, averaging 21.6 points per game. True breakout. Josh Allen light type player. Uh, played Cleveland last week, one of the most difficult defenses to go up against and put up 26 points. So, he's just an auto start for me. Um, but I can see the Herbert will be Chris Ave. Chris Ave. Um, yeah. Yeah, I'm there as well. Okay.
Yeah. Isaac uh sending away Genty and Judkins for Achin. He says, "Consolidating running backs for an upgrade or try for wide receiver depth." I'm not a fan of of this particular idea. I mean, you're not giving up two scrubs. You're giving up two guys that you can start each and every week. Yeah, I would agree. And what you need to think about is what happens if McDaniels is fired? Will the next coach use Achan the same way? Achan is not used. He's not a a player where if a if the former coach is fired, I'd be like, "Yeah, the next guy's going to use him the same exact way." Very few people in the NFL would look at a running back who's what 85 pounds and say that's our guy. We want to we want to give him the ball 25 times. Uh we want to use him as a wide receiver one and the RB1. And you know that's not to question Han's talent. It's just the deployment of an offense. If you don't think coaching matters on how a running back is deployed, then tell me why Alvin Kamar is completely cheeks this year. coaching does matter. Um, how they deploy a running back. So, if you're going to do a deal like that, it needs to be a different name than Achan, honestly. Um, I'd rather do Is it showing expert consensus, right? Okay. I I'd rather do like a um Well, I just feel like you're not going to be able Gibbs. I don't know if you can be able to get those guys with those two. I mean, I could be wrong, but yeah, I don't think so either, but that's if you're going to make a trade like this, then that's what I would need. Yeah. Yeah, I get that.
Um, okay. All right. Cra is starting Daniels or Drake May. I mean, that's that's now actually a really difficult question, isn't it? I have Drake May over Daniels, personally. Yeah. Um, I view both of these guys in that in that category I said earlier where it doesn't matter every week you're putting them into your lineup regardless of who they're playing. Uh, I do have Drake May one spot higher. But at the same time, if you're telling me that you can improve your roster by packaging Drake May in something, some trade to get an upgrade at wide receiver, then I would definitely do everything I could to do that before this week begins. Um because you don't really want to have two guys that are must start elite options every single week. If you know if you do, you're going to make the wrong decision every week honestly. Um at receiver between downs and DJ I'll probably go DJ slightly. Yeah, I'm going DJ.
Brock Bowers and Gadston. I guess we're going to start Bowers and then at the flex probably both. I'm going both tight ends actually. Gadston in there. Yeah. Yeah, I'm going both tight ends. Yeah.
Um, Gregory at the quarterback position, Justin Herbert, Dak Prescott. I have Justin Herbert over Dak this week, at least for me. Uh, who does I'm trying to remember? Zak plays a Cardinals Monday Night Football. Yeah, they're in the same tier for me. I'm I'm indifferent, so I'll go Herbert with you. Uh, running back, I'll go Tracy Knight personally. Yeah, I'm okay with that. Um, at the flex Drake London in Rome. Yes. Yeah.
Wow. Well, yes. I was going to say for a quick second, for some reason I was thinking Jason was on a buy, but he is not. Okay. Breezy says, "Malik or Troy Franklin also have Zay too much for a Thursday Night Football." Uh, and Dos or Kamara. Okay. I Okay. So, Malik Washington or Troy Franklin? I mean, if you had to choose one, I'm I'm going to go Troy. I'm not and I'm not in love with it. I don't like either of these guys on a week- toeek basis, but I'll just go Troy. I mean, I I don't think anyone knows the answer to this question. Um, Troy has the worst matchup you can possibly have in fantasy football, so that's concerning. But Malik has shown no consistency. Malik Washington can have three targets for three yards tonight. Yeah. But he has the far better matchup. So matchup tells you Malik, but there's no trust built long term to really rely on that. So I think you're you're I don't think anyone knows the real answer, but I would go Troy. He says also have Zay too much for Thursday Night Football. Well, then we'll stick with Troy and Dos or Kamar leaning but not loving RD. Romeo Dobs. So I mean well if you're leading Kamar I would be going Kamar over doss personally. Um that's what I would do. Um look I mean I want the answer to be Kamara so bad but he's just done nothing at all and I don't really know what the game script is supposed to be for him to have a good game anymore. I don't know that it exists at this point. Um, yeah, I would probably just put Dobs out there. I mean, if we're we're looking at the past four weeks, Alvakamara averaging 8.6 points per game and Dobs is, you know, like 12 or so. It's close. I I just lean Dobs at this point. It's just it's tough with comp. Yeah, I'll go I'll go out.
M Rich here says four and four and weak at running back. Would love other ideas. So you're sending Woody and Chase getting Jacobs and Rome. Um well I think this is a pretty significant upgrade at running back position and you're getting Roma Dun but sending away Jamar Chase now. Um yeah think I'm okay with this trade. Like you have to get you have to give to get right. So like I think it's a pretty significant upgrade with Jacobs there. I think you're one piece away from this making sense personally. Um like if you're going to send away Jamar Chase, you need a Godfather offer. And I don't think this is a Godfather offer yet. I mean Woody Marks is like a startable name, you know. Uh if Woody Marks keeps averaging 10 points per game, then I'd much rather prefer the Jamar Chase side. This is not a Godfather offer in my mind. Um, sure. You need you need more. Um, probably like a Jaylen Warren. Um, and you can send back an Algier or something like I think that's what this deal is missing at minimum. I I I would not send Jamar Chase away for that right now. Um, yeah. And just personally for me, if that's the best offer, then I would probably pass.
Um, hopefully that helps. Mr. Bank starting Drake May at running back. Uh, probably Chase Brown this week. I like his matchup. Yeah. Jonathan Taylor. Chase. I think that's everything. Yeah, I'm not changing anything else.
Yeah. Dave says, "Have Lovelin and Theo Johnson are on Wise for tight end." Okay. Um, okay. At the tight end position, I probably just put Lovelin in there and hope for the best. Yeah, it's it's going to be Lovelin misses time. And then at the flex option, I'm going to be playing here Corland Sutton for me. Okay. Um, [Music] yeah, I'm fine with Sutton, but yeah, I would I'd probably go Lovelin over Hawinson just to see like what he could potentially do.
Uh, all right. Kleinut is sending Bree and Brilin for Bucky. I'm fine with that. I'll take Bucky. It's a dynasty trade as well, so it's not even so much like worrying about this year. It's a long-term play with Bucky. I'm I'm fine getting Bucky there. Yeah, completely agree.
Um, all right. Four full four. Yep. Sending away Jamar Chase. Bejian. Sending away Jamar Chase getting Bejon and Warren Waddle. But yeah, I mean, this is this is a monster for a monster. So, it's it's definitely closer than the uh other one for me with Waddle. I just wonder if there's something else we can do. Yeah, I'm looking. I'm not seeing anything. I mean, can you do a Bowowers and McBride swap? I'm not even sure that's going to make a difference when Bowers is back. No. Um, look, I don't think it's crazy. I don't know why this guy would do it with Walker and Hunt as his running backs, but yeah, I I'm not understanding it either. But can you get Worthy and send back like a Trey Tucker? That's I might try and push it there, but honestly, it's relatively fair. Yeah, appreciate you. 444. All right, this is going to be my last one, then I got to head out, guys. Um, next one here says almost eight and one. Bucky and maybe JJ. What do you suggest? Ashton Genty for Bucky Irving. I mean, I would take the Bucky side. Now, if you're eight and one, you're willing, you are okay to take this risk, I would say. Might as well do it. But you have Jonathan Taylor. Oh, sorry, I'm looking at the wrong team. You have Derek Henry, Hampton, JCM, and then you'll have Bucky Irving on this team. I think it's worth I think it's worth doing personally. Yeah, I'll take the Bucky. And you can I see Rashad White on the Waverwires. Do this trade and then get Rashad White. Yep, 100%.
All right, guys. All love. I'll talk to you guys. I hope whatever happens, whatever you have tonight works for you. All righty. Um, love lettuce. All right. Um, HS Nicholls, Kareem or Woody is tough for me to decide. He says, "Starting dart at running back two. It's between MarkX Hunt." I would probably go hunt here if there's no Pacheco if Pacheco plays a marks. Uh, and then I don't think I would change anything with your flexes. Appreciate you.
Um, Peep Pob, what's up, Peep Pop? Um, says, "Also offered Gadston for Dvontto. Which deal to take? I have McBride and Barkley is Eagle Stack back. So you would send away Judkins and Gadston for ETN and Ibuka or also offered Gaden for Devont. Right. Man, I wish people in the Flock League would send me trades for Gadston. I mean, I love him, but everyone's pretending like he's just a nobody. It's really frustrating. Maybe I just need to be patient. Um, look, EG and Ibuka is a pretty good offer, honestly. Especially if you don't need tight end. Like, who's your your tight end right now as McBride? I mean, I I don't see a reason not to make this trade to be honest with you, man. Uh, yeah, I'm struggling to find a reason not to make this deal. I'm fine with it.
Um, Allan, what's up, Allan? Welcome in. Um Allan says, "My running backs are JCM, Trey, Rashard Smith, Sharpen. Woody is a must trade." Why? Why is he a must trade? I don't understand. Um so pick two more players. Not sure. Why is Woody a must trade? Okay. Um running backs are JCM, Trey, is that is that Trey Benson? I don't know. The team's not linked. Um, look, quite frankly, I love JCM and I I am standing alone in the fancy community saying when Daniels is healthy and I think he's going to have plenty of better games, but you these you sending Woody Marks is better than all these options you're you're sending away. So, let's just start there. Um, I mean, I'm not going to tell you not to go get Jamar Chase if it has to be Woody for some reason. Look, to be honest, I'm not sure, just being realistic with you, Allan, I'm not sure there is a combination of these players that land you Jamar Chase. Um, you would ideally want to use the wide receivers because your running back room is already so so bad. So, if you were to go that direction, I would say you're probably going to have to try Woody, Debo, Addison. I don't think that gets it done. Your your roster can't handle you sending more. But, I mean, just again being honest and straightforward with you, I don't even think an offer like even if you said, "All right, I'll also include Keenan in this." I don't think it's going to really matter to the Jamar Chase owner. Um, yeah. Yeah. I mean, that's a tough one. Yeah. I I don't think a combination of those players lands you, Jamar Chase, man. Honestly, uh Allan says it's the other way around. So, you're sending away Jamar Chase because you you submitted it as if you're receiving him. Is this your question, Alan? Are you saying that you're re you're sending away Jamar Chase? If you're sending away Jamar Chase, then there there is no combination of these players that makes sense to send Jamar Chase away for. Quite frankly, there's not a single top 24 asset. You can't send Jamar Chase away for, you know, I mean, you've got Caviar and you're sending it away for three quarters of a $5 foot long. Um, if you're going to send Jamar Chase away, then you need in return a combination of, you know, a tier A player for me and a tier B player, right? So, you're getting James Cook and Amecha Eggbuka, you know. Um, but again, let me know if I'm not understanding it correctly. I'm not seeing any reply, but um let me know if that's helpful, Alan.
Um, uh, Dan, what's up, Dan? You said, "Yes, I'm sorry I have Jamar Chase." And there's not a combination of those players that you're giving me that make any sense to trade away Jamar Chase for. You know, same idea but just in reverse. Uh, yeah, I mean, put Jamar Chase on on the block, you know, oftent time it's actually like the most commented comment on or the most liked comment on today's video. I released because tomorrow's Halloween, we're not going to release a video tomorrow, but we released our moves to make video a little bit earlier. And one of the top comments was, um, well, how am I supposed to get trades done? It's like, too many people in the fantasy community think trading is easy. Put, step one, put a guy on the block, see what sort of interest is out there, right? And then once you have a couple offers, you can use those as leverage. Um, but yeah. All right.
Uh, Dan says, "Would you rather have Jordan Mason or Woody Marks rest of the season?" Woody Marks for me. Um, I think Mason is a touchdown or bus player and Woody through the air, you know, is uh through the air, Woody, you know, he's he can win you a week, any single week, right? So, that's where I would stand there.
Um, okay. Let's see. I think we're caught up with these questions. I mean, the first round, we still have plenty of questions here. Um, Punny Farmer says, "Traded Alve Ferg for Rice Trey Ben uh before week seven. Third in points for second in points against. I don't know if I want to trade Sutton or Bucky, but I need the running back Trey Warren. Same with Kyler." Okay. Wow. Um, okay. So, you would be sending away Knight. I like to look at the trade how I would view it. So, Knight doesn't matter to me. He's a couple weak fill in. Okay. So, he doesn't matter in this trade. Um, as much as I prefer McBride, McBride and Warren is not enough for me to like swing a single way. So, the way I'm looking at this, and Alier doesn't matter. He's just a handcuff. So, the way I'm looking at this is Bejon and Metaf or Bucky and Sutton. And I think it'd be silly for me, as much as I love Bucky Irving, to tell you to take the Bucky Irving side. So, you know, I understand the hesitation, but um in a couple weeks on Knight's probably not worth anything. So, yeah, I have absolutely no problem making this deal. I think this makes a ton of sense. And you can kind of see, I guess, my mind, how I look at trades, how I broke that down. That's typically how I look at most trades. Um, so yeah, hopefully that's helpful, man. Appreciate you.
Um, again guys, appreciate everybody for being here with us in the chat. Um, we are going to do a giveaway on today's stream. All you have to do to enter is like the stream and type TNF into the chat before we go to Thursday Night Football. I'll raffle off some vouchers. Um, I also have a doctor's appointment I got to get to, but we're going to stay on as long as we can for y'all. Uh, if I'm late, it is what it is.
Um, someone said, "Talk me off the ledge." Scribbles talk me out the ledge with JCM. We just got to be patient, guys. It's it's the same thing I was saying with Woody Marks. Be patient, guys. Um, you know, there's not always going to be great games. These aren't superstar guys every single week. And for JCM, I feel like the issues are very clearly not just JCM, it's the offense, you know, and the offense is going to drastically improve with Jaden Daniels there. Um, a big problem was stacked boxes. I want you guys to think about the last time the commanders had just Debo and Jaden Daniels is when JCM had his big blowup game. Um, so yeah, it's not been great, but it's not all on JCM either. Okay.
Uh, it's Chavez sending away Addison for Terry. No, you're not doing that, my guy. There's no way. Even if Terry was healthy, I don't know if I'm doing this trade, guys. Terry McLaren is not someone that you can trade for unless he's like a throwin at this point. We have no idea when Terry's healthy. We have no idea if there's a sports hernia involved. We don't know if he's going to be shut down for the year. We don't know if he's going to be back next week. No one knows the answer. Now, if that hypothetically ends up being, well, he's back next week, then sure, like you could you could end up regretting that. But nobody knows the answer, right? He has his buy in week 12, so he's already ruled out week nine. He has Detroit, then Miami. You have no idea if he's going to be back in week 12. Absolutely no idea. Like, nobody knows the answer to that. Um, and this injury, according to all sports doctors, is incredibly easy to reagravate. And that's exactly what happened. He reagravated it. So, no, not a chance you send out Jordan Addison for Terry McLaren. They're not they're not Yeah. No, you can't value them similarly right now. In fact, I need to make sure I go through my reddraft rankings rest of season and I need to make sure I reflect that in my rankings because Terry I'm probably value Terry at like wide receiver 38 right now. Is that crazy guys? I don't know. Yeah.
Uh Daniel says, "What's up Gent Kamara or Taj this week?" I don't like Kamara this week against the Rams, that's for sure. Is that this week or rest of season? Rest of season, I'll probably still keep Kamara. This week, I'd probably slightly prefer Kamara, but it's it's close between those two. It's close. If someone views Kamar as a big upgrade over Taj, I'd prefer to make it a two for two then where I can really find some wiggle room somewhere else.
Uh Big Jay says, "Help me out. going up against six and two top team this week. At quarterback, I'm still starting Daniels. Uh Tyrone CMC lad. At receiver, Rasheed Rice is an auto start. Um you've got Tucker Craft, which is great. And then in your flex spot, this is going to be probably Nico Collins. Welcome back, Nico. Appreciate you, man. Thanks for the question.
Um, all right. Norm. Nor Nomad Kandi says, "Currently three and five. Feel like a move is needed to be made. Sending away a Monro and DK for Genty and DK. Metaf H. Um, interesting. Isaac, I I can't go back in a time code for a live stream. Just tell me what your username is, man. Um, sending away a Monra and DK for Genty and Metaf. I don't love losing probably your best player. Report from Ian Rapaort. Mac McDaniel's job is firmly up in the air. Nothing imminent, but will be judged on if the players keep playing for him. Yeah, I'm sh I'm shocked he still has a job. That's slightly concerning for Achin. It's a little bit concerning. Um yeah, I I don't think this is enough for a Monra to be honest, man. I get why you feel the need to do a trade, but yeah. I don't really like this. If anything, we need to add Judkins onto it and send back like Mason, you know, like you need to make it hurt. You're not hurting him at all right now. He's happily being like, I'll send you Genty and Metaf. It's got to hurt a little more. Yeah, I I don't see another way outside of that trade I just told you, sending Mason for for Judkins on top. Otherwise, you don't send away your best player to be honest.
Um, Max says, "One wide receiver and one flex spot. Debating Tet Diggs and Knight. [Music] Well, I'm going to go T-Mac there over Diggs and then in your flex, I would start Zonovan Knight. Yeah, that's where I stand. Pennock stuck in Cousins. Uh, starting Daniel Jones, Josh Jacobs at running back two. This is probably dattle for me. Let me double check my rankings though. It's actually Woody. It's Woody for me. I just don't like the match up against Green Bay. Yeah, we're going to go Woody there. At receiver, we're going to play Nico Collins. Um Sutton, I'm just assuming we're going to start a lot of these names. We're going to start Trey McBride. And then in your flex spots, Wow. Okay, [Music] guys. Guys, is it crazy to say I feel like Gadston has to be the name here? I feel like Gadston's the name that makes the most sense. Keenan versus Tennessee. My only concern is like, can Tennessee keep it a game? I think Gadston makes the most sense for me. And then I'm gonna come back to the well and probably gonna go between Travis Hunter and Keenan Allen. I think Keenan's a safe play. Hunter's the the upside. Yeah, that's what we're going to we're going to rock there. I hate starting two Chargers. You're in a 10 team league. Why not start Travis, man? 10 team league. Go for the upside. It's a tough one.
Lord of the Faw starting Jackson Dart at running back ETN or Knight. We're going to go ETN there against the Raiders. I hope he busts cuz I'm playing against him in the Flock League, but hey, I don't think he will. At Flex. Wow, you got way too many tight ends, dude. Is there no starting tight end in this league? That sucks. That sucks to have Bowers, Warren, and Gadston in a league that doesn't have to start tight ends. That's actually worst case scenario I'd say for you. Um, look, Nico, we're gonna start and then ring around the Rosie. Which tight end do you want to play this week? Probably Tyler Warren, man. Yeah, I was going to I was going to say trade trade some of these tight ends, but if you're in a league that doesn't have to start tight end, you don't really have any leverage, too. That's going to be frustrating all all year, man. I would not be opposed to packaging Gaden and Nico and go getting like a top elite name, Bowowers and Nico or, you know, Kamani and Bowers or Gadston if you don't need to start a tight end there.
Um, Jake, what's up Jake? Um, he is sending away Swift and Tettoa McMillan for Jaylen Warren and Brian Thomas. I don't see a reason to make this move, man. Uh, the chat can let me know if I'm crazy, but Swift and Warren, I don't have a strong opinion between those two rest of season. It is concerning to see Kongai's role grow, but Swift has still been good. He's been effective. He's been efficient, which is something we very rarely say about his career. And when you look at Tetrello McMillan versus Brian Thomas, I'm pretty firmly on the team side of this um you know uh for a rookie wide receiver just to I mean this guy this guy's got everything. T-Mac's got everything man. He is like the prototypical rookie receiver that ends up winning your league, you know. Um and I do like Jaylen Warren a lot by the way. I just don't like the Brian Thomas out of this. So, if you wanted to get Jaylen Warren to just remove the the receivers. I'm fine to do a straight swap there, but yeah. Or or can you make it interesting where you know you get Ebuka, you send away McMillan and how can we how can we meet there? I don't know if we can maybe make maybe maybe Ibuka is too look it probably have to be Adams if I'm going to send away Tettoa like if you if if he really needs T-Mac I probably need Adams back then. Okay. Um just double checking I'm not crazy in the chat and everyone says no Zach you're not crazy.
Back to Isaac man. I I would need your Flock Fantasy username to go back and look at your I can't look at the time codes while we're live streaming. Um your what hurts running back hell Carter versus Chuba need a touchdown. Also, Jaden Daniels versus Dart. Yeah, I mean look guys, um I think Jaden Daniels, there's been a lot of disrespect on social media about Jaden Daniels lately. Um, you know, everybody loves to do the reddrafts and, you know, people so quickly forget that this dude led I mean, com commander fans should not I I'm I'm not so much upset about like regular fans thinking this, but Commander fans should be absolutely ashamed ashamed of themselves for talking down Jaden Daniels. This kid is the only good thing that's happened to this franchise in decades since I've been born. I was born into Washington fandom. My dad loved them from the the Hogs days in the 90s when they were winning Super Bowls. I was born into this. It's been hell. Jayen Daniels is the only single good thing that's happened to this franchise in in my lifetime. He led us to an NFC championship last year. I mean, let's be so for real. Uh I don't know why I'm saying that, but I'm I'm starting Jane Jane Daniels is a must start for me every week. That That's what I'm trying to tell you. I don't care what the matchup is. I'm starting him every single week. He's locked and loaded. I still view him as a lead option. Um, as far as a running back, it's that's Michael Carter. [Music] Michael Carter versus Chuba. That's That's hell. You're right. You're right. It is hell. You're not wrong, man. That is hell. Uh, is that really the best options, dude? [Music] I guess Chuba. I guess Chuba. Hopefully that's helpful.
Okay, Isaac was saying, "I feel like the trade makes more sense if you looked at my team. I would have Achan, Kairen, War, and Tracy, Woody Marks if I made the trade." Um, so Isaac, I remember looking at this trade, man, and it it it it's nothing, you know, our our concern is more you investing into Achan. That's our concern. So looking at your team is not going to change that. If you want to I I can have a look at the team, but again, it's not going to change my answer. My My concern is not what your team would look like. It's the player that you're investing in. if you're going to spend, you know, such firepower on a running back, I don't want it to be Devon Achan who is going to lose his head coach at some time and then you don't know what his role is. That was my concern. It's not So, yeah, I mean, I'm looking at the team and it's a great team. It doesn't change the answer. The answer was was based in it's not the name I want you to pursue. I want you to pursue a different name other than Achan. So, it would still be the same answer as I have before. um open to that idea for for you for sure, man. I have no problem with you pursuing that type of deal. It's not the name I want to do it with personally. But if you don't feel those concerns, hey, like trust your gut, man. That's what's great about fantasy football. All right.
Um T Ballard says, "Unsure what I should who I should start at running back and flex. Let's have a geese." So, I'm pretty sure this is going to be Genty and Knight for me. Genty and Knight. Um, love Bam Knight versus the Cowboys this week. And then at the flex spot, I honestly think DVO is going to be a really good player this week. I think DVO is going to be a great play, but you can't sit pickins, man. Got too many good players. You need to consolidate a bit. You need you need to be the team that's packaging, you know, Tracy and Knight or even Tracy and Genty or something and kind of tearing up there.
Um, physicality is starting. You can't sit Josh Allen at tight end Warren of course and that's an incredible lineup. Well done physicality. Um, starting Tua tonight. Yeah, not a bad option with the matchup uh as a flex and your other flex. I don't know if Stevenson's going to play and if he doesn't, I'm probably going to go null there considering the Kirk injury. Good luck. uh physicality here again starting Stafford, Henry Gibbs, JS Impuka, McBride, Jacobs, and in the last flex spot. You know, I said this to to the previous someone who was in the same exact situation as you or physicality previously. I said, "Look, Kenan's a safe play here, but if you're in a small league, like a 10 team league, why not play for the upside?" So, that I I threw Travis Hunter in there. Um, you know, Keenan like Kenan's a logical play. He's the one that has more trust. season, the better offense. But I like to have fun. My name's Rod and I like to party. So, I probably would be putting Travis Hunter in there for fun. Um, but I would start Bam over either of these guys, by the way. Um, BAM for me is my RB 17 this week. Appreciate your physicality. Uh, we will get to all the questions. Don't worry guys, I'm going to start to power through these. Drop nicks. Even the super chats.
Travis says, "Drop Knicks for Donald or Murray." I wouldn't drop him. It's a 10 team league though. I mean, I don't want to play him this week, that's for sure. Can you drop anyone else? Drop TZ Johnson, dude. Drop TZ Johnson and go pick up probably Kyler. I would play either Kyler or Darnold over him this week, though. Um, at running back, it's going to be Bam Knight for me. And then at flex. Yeah, I'm not going to start any of these guys over pickins. Good lineup. Okay.
Uh, who should you drop for BAM? Which which team was it, man? Was it this one? Um 10 team league probably null in the 10 team league.
Um, Bird Gang Gordo uh Justin Herbert ET and Vidal Chase Puka Janu. It's got to be a better option on the way than Janu Flex. Wow. If Pacheco's out, it might I think Downs is the safest option there. Downs is the safest for shards. if you just want to say f it, let's have fun. But I think downs is probably where I would go ultimately unless there's a report that comes out where they're like, you know what, we are going to use Bashard Smith more.
The deuce is loose says, should I ship McBride in some for wide receiver help? So he is starting at wide receiver, George Pickkins, and then the second option
is probably Stefon Diggs there. Not ideal, but could be worse. And then you're probably flexing Gadsden. Um, should I McBride for some wide receiver help? Uh, yeah. I mean, I'm not opposed to it. Look, McBride's already had his bye, so make sure you get proper value for him. You can start Gadsden in that tight end spot, but at the same time, you know, keep in mind you can still flex Gadsden each week. But yeah, if you're going to trade McBride, trade Trey McBride, then definitely make sure you're getting one of those top wide receivers in the league. This isn't a bad lineup for a 14-team league as well. Not bad.
Honestly, you need to get a lot more value from McBride in a 14-team league. It's really difficult to get a starting tight end. So, in a 14-team league, I'm probably looking at McBride and I'm saying, I want your Ibuka Adun. I'm not going to send him for the all, Collins, Lads, Sutton, Wilson's, Pickens, Adams. It's got to be one of these names, and I doubt they'd be willing to do that, but I just don't think it makes sense to trade him for less than that given how big your league is.
Um, yes, I would start if the question physicality is if you would start Manongi or Bam, I'd start Bam, assuming Swift is healthy. Okay, we've got some super chats we need to get to. Didn't forget you guys. Let's see. Was this the first one? Let me double-check. Was Jaded the first one of the night? I want to make sure before I go into this. Let's see. Don't want to skip anyone. I will give you an answer here in a second. Um, yes, Jaded was our first one. Okay, awesome.
Jaded says, "Pitman for or Waddle chases wide receiver." Are you saying like this week? Uh, tough to sit Pitman this week against. Oh, wow. These guys are both top 13 plays for me. They're back to back in my rankings. I don't know how you sit one of these dudes. Damn, son. Pitman's been more consistent. I'll lean Pitman there, but that's a crazy question. I would love to have that problem in the Flock league. We got time, Axiom. We got time.
I, uh, I turned on all notifications for Bucky Irving's Instagram. Okay. Hey, this is breaking news. This is how much of a degenerate I am. I have all of Bucky Irving's notifications on Instagram turned on. If he posts a reel, if he goes live, if he posts anything anywhere on Instagram, I have a notification because I'm a degenerate and I need him in my lineups. Looking good, bud. Y'all see that? Looking good, Bucks. Not looking bad, buddy. No sling on that arm. This is like the cool guy. You know that Kevin James meme where he's got his? Let me show y'all exactly what this is. You can't tell me this is not exactly what Bucky Irving is doing right here. This is, this is exactly what Bucky is doing at this very moment. Tell me, tell me I'm wrong. Let me find it again. Hold on. Okay, look at that meme. And now I want you to bring your attention here to to Bucky Irving. It's like just a cool guy, you know, got got my new jeans on. Let's see if the image will fix. All right, today's the day I realize I have a problem. Today's the day I realize I have a problem. How can a man that I'll never meet in my entire life, a man that's younger than me, post a photo of his jeans on Instagram and my mood instantly changes? I, yeah, I get it. I have a problem. I understand now.
Uh, Prism next super chat here says, "Start one this week." Um, Walker, Worthy, Gadsden, Diggs. Oh, not going to start Walker. This is probably Gadsden for me, man. Y'all tell me if I'm crazy again. Y'all tell me if I'm crazy. I think that's Gadsden for me. Prism. Uh, the great Gadsden. Yes, that's that's a good one. I think I'm riding the hot hand. A Diggs is probably the safest, but I'm going to go Gadsden in there.
Dan Yol submitted a super chat, but it looks like it was just a sticker. There was no question to it. So, thanks, man. Um, I don't see any question associated, but let me know if you're in the chat. Appreciate you. Uh, let's see. We had, uh, Big Adam join as a member. What's up, man? Uh, your name is now going to stand out in the chat. Appreciate you.
Um, Axiom did submit a question on the site. Let's get to that and then we'll get we'll get to Jaded here again after. Just want to make sure I honor those people who. Yeah, I got to honor my word. So, when I say we'll prioritize the site, I got to do it. But I'm not going to let you, go, Jaden. Jaden, don't worry. I'm going to answer both your questions. Axiom says, "Three and five and have lost neighbors of Marian and Bucky." Oh, dude. I'm sorry. That's basically me and Podaki in the Flock league. Sending away Marvin and T-Mac for Warren and Franklin. I just, no, man. I just, no. I don't like this trade. I really don't. Between T-Mac and Warren, I'd probably prefer McMillan. Uh, but if it was more like a straight trade between them, it's it's easier to kind of stomach there. But this is, this is not a good trade. This is, I understand why you might feel the need to do it. You've got white Bucky Dobbins. I mean, brother, you're fine. You, this is not, that's a desperation play right now. Let me talk you off the ledge because that's that's not a good move for you. It's a start seven. What I would rather you do, man, is I'd rather you package, just looking at your roster. I'd rather you package these guys and not get Franklin back, but get a top name. Go get a Judkins instead or Buck. You already have Bucky. But this is just not enough is what I'm trying to say. Troy Franklin and I love him coming out of college out of Oregon. Okay, I people clowned on me for how much I loved him. But no, what happened last week is not an indication what will happen in the future. That's the Cowboys. He's still going to be streaky and inconsistent in my opinion. So, uh, yeah, it's it's a hard pass for me, dog. It's a hard pass for me, dog.
Mike says, "Bucky back next week. Speak it into existence." Uh, no worries, Big Adam. I appreciate you, man. Thanks for being here. Okay. Uh, get your last-minute questions in here. We are closing in on Thursday Night Football. Get your last-minute questions in.
Jaden says, "Jonathan Taylor, RB1, Jacobs, RB2, Chase, Javonte, and the Flex. Who do I start between Pitman?" Oh, I mean, look, I appreciate you super chatting. Again, my my question, my answer is probably not going to change. It's probably still going to be Michael Pitman. Um, but I'm telling you, it's incredibly difficult. I mean, if you look at my weekly rankings, I have these guys back to back. Um, I can show you on our site. Yeah. I mean, this this week, particularly week nine, it's it's a complete toss-up. I've got Pitman at 12. I've got Waddle at 13. It's, yeah, it's about as close as it can possibly get, man. I like both of these matchups. Pitman's just been a little bit more reliable, right? He's been a bigger touchdown threat as well. He's had a touchdown, I believe, in six out of his eight games. Uh, touchdowns are hard to predict, but Pittsburgh should be a great matchup for for the Colts weapons. Uh, but I could see Waddle against this defense, man. I he probably he probably puts up a really good night as well. It's you got two options that I would say are must-starts for most people. So unless you want to plan the idea of packaging Pitman with another player on your bench during the weekend to go out and upgrade somewhere else, then you can play Waddle tonight. But I mean, it's a toss-up. I'm I'm leaning Pitman, though. I, I don't have a solid answer for you there. I wish you the best of luck.
All right. Uh, Evo says, "Full PPR start one quarterback, Kyler, Daniel Jones." Probably going to ride the hot hand of Daniel Jones. Um, Kyler, it should all signs point towards a good game, but has there been another quarterback that's been more disappointing and less talked about than Kyler Murray? Uh, two running backs. Well, you're going to be starting Javonte Williams and Bam for me. Two receivers, CD, Keenan, Travis Hunter, Christian Watson. Two receivers, CD and well, we've had this Keenan Travis Hunter question a lot tonight and what I've said to a lot of people is if you want to have fun, start Travis Hunter. It's riskier. If you want to play it safe, Keenan Allen. Uh, but honestly, we'll probably answer that question. You start both of those guys anyway. So, you're going to flex Keenan or Travis, right? So, it's going to be Jones, Javonte, Bam, CD, Hunter, Keenan. Thanks for the question.
Uh, Alex, completely up to you. When there are questions on the Flock site, we prioritize them over super chats on YouTube. Uh, you know, we've been answering questions for about an hour and only the last 10 minutes we've gotten to YouTube super chats. So, up to you, man. Uh, Chi Weise says, "Would you would you trade Brian Thomas Jr. for Marvin Vidal?" Yeah, I I can't think of a reason not to, honestly, dude. Um, can't think of a reason not to. Like, Marvin Bryan, I like if you said, "Gun to your head, who do you think scores more points this year?" I'd be like, "I don't know. Kill me." I don't know the answer to that. Uh, you're trading for Ma before he plays for the Cal before he plays against the Cowboys. That's very enticing. And you're getting a free doll is basically the way I'm looking at it there. So yeah. Yeah. Or you could look at it the way Styles is where it's basically a free a free Marv. Either way, I think you're you're winning the trade.
Isaac here says, "Puka plus Saquon for McCaffrey and St. Brown." So it's a start seven there. Wow. What a question. Oh my gosh. Holy hell. Oh my gosh. What the hell? What the hell? Let's ask the chat. I mean, that's like what kind of uh what kind of private jet do you want? What kind of PJ do you like? I mean, these are both like luxury items. So, vote in the chat for this gentleman here for Isaac. Let's get some answers in the chat. So far about 10 votes and a 100% of them are saying the CMC side, which makes sense. It makes sense. The gap between Saquon and M and and Brown is probably bigger than the gap between Puka and McCaffrey. Yep. We got 93% of people saying take the McCaffrey side. That's where I would lean.
What's up, Daniel? He says, "Lamar Herbert from Advanced Coal from Advanced Cultivators in Mass." I don't know what that means, but I am going to say Lamar Jackson here tonight. Can't sit stars. Lamar Jackson's a star. He's got to be in your lineup. Um, yes, even an in eight-teamer, man. Those are superstars you're trading for both ways. Uh, I keep almost ending the stream and then there keeps being super chats. Shout out to you guys.
Big Adam says, "Stafford or Murray." Yeah. Wow. I have Puka McBride for the stack. If Murray plays, I'd probably have a hard time not going Kyler in that matchup to be honest. Let me double-check my rankings though. Yeah, I have them in the same tier, but I slightly lean Kyler. I'm worried that New Orleans not is not going to be able to make it a game. Uh, appreciate you, man.
Uh, Chiwei says, "Thanks, man. Also trade JCM for Pitts and full PPR." Ah. Uh, no. I think Kyle Pitts, you can still find a streamable tight end. I think it's the worst time to sell JCM. You know, again, like I everyone is welcome to their opinions. It it felt like the same exact thing when I was telling y'all to be patient on Woody Marks. Um, and a lot of people are angry about that, but I just I'm going to hold to my convictions there. JCM, not a league winner, but is going to be much better when Jaylen Daniels is starting for this team. So, I would not sell him for a streamable tight end, basically.
Um, all right. I think there is one more question on the Flock site and then we are going to call it a day after the giveaway. Lord Alex, last chance to get in the giveaway by the way, guys, last chance. Like the stream, type TNF and then I'm going to do this giveaway. Lord Alex is sending away Bonix and Booty for Lamar Jackson. I mean, what the hell are we talking about, brother? Of course. Grab Lamar Jackson. What in the world are we talking about? Stop watching the stream. Go hit accept as fast as you can possibly hit accept for the love of God. Um, Bonix is a great sell-high right now.
All right. Shall we do the giveaway? There are 58 entries. That's more than I thought there would be tonight. Um, 58 entries. Let's go ahead and copy those. I'm going to give away a start-sit and a trade question voucher. The start-sit is going to go to the username Samarine Melewave 1229. I said that perfectly. 100% accuracy. Um, that's the start-sit and the trade question. The trade question goes to uh Con. A little bit easier that time. Con. So, both of you listen up to these instructions. All right. What I need you to do is take a screenshot of your YouTube account, then DM me on Discord. There's my username in the chat on the screen and, uh, send me that. I also need a I also need you to tell me your Flock Fantasy username. And very important here, I need you to listen. If you don't have a Flock Fantasy username yet, you can create one for free, but make sure you use a promo code LAND. That way, I can find you on the back end in our database. Any of you guys can create a free account with the code LAND, by the way, and access the My Teams feature.
That's it for tonight. I appreciate you guys big big time. Um, unless there's someone said one more question. I don't see any other questions here. I think we're good to go. I think we're good to go. Um, Alex, I'll give you a couple seconds here. Man, you can just ask the question. Honestly, at this point, I need to go to an appointment. I got to go to an appointment. So, I might have to end the stream. My wife's going to get angry at me. Uh, Troy Franklin for Genty. Yes, let's keep let's keep Ash and Genty there. If that's a joke, then well done. If it's not, please seek help, Alex. Um, all all jokes, all love. Hey, whatever you want to happen Thursday night, I hope it happens in your favor. Good luck tonight, guys. See you.
