From the episode

I like it a little less now that they've traded for Jeffrey Simmons. Do you think he'll play this week? I think he'll play some, probably not a full set of snaps, but I would imagine he'd play early rushing downs. So, um, makes me like Emmanuel Wilson a little bit less.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Simmons trade reduces Wilson's early rushing down role and appeal.

Wilson's appeal is diminished by the Bears' trade for Jeffrey Simmons, who is expected to play early rushing downs, reducing Wilson's role and making him less attractive than Rashad White in a start-sit comparison.
