Player insights

A.J. Brown

PositiveValue53:57

The source suggests targeting AJ Brown in trades if his current manager is struggling and needs to win now.

Insight page

Aaron Jones

NegativeValue22:02

Aaron Jones is a sell-high candidate. Despite recent strong performances, his age and the potential return of Jordan Mason, combined with an upcoming bye week, make him a candidate to trade for a high-upside receiver like George Pickens.

Insight page
PositiveUsage23:36

The source notes that Aaron Jones's current usage, including an 85% rush share and 24% target share since Jordan Mason went down, is unsustainable and suggests selling him high.

Insight page

Alvin Kamara

NegativeValue21:59

Alvin Kamara is a sell-high candidate. While he currently has a role, his value may decline once Travis Etienne returns, making now an opportune time to trade him.

Insight page
NegativeUsage22:58

Alvin Kamara is viewed as a potential 'rental' who could be a solid PPR RB2 for the next three games before his bye, though the source suggests selling high after his recent two-touchdown performance.

Insight page

Bucky Irving

NegativeUsage41:04

Bucky Irving's fantasy outlook is dampened by the disappearance of his targets and Sean Tucker stealing goal-line work, though he remains a startable option due to lack of depth at the position.

Insight page
NegativeValue63:56

The source grades a trade involving Bucky Irving and Malik Nabers for AJ Brown and Bijean Robinson as a C-minus.

Insight page

Carnell Tate

PositiveUsage54:09

Carnell Tate is fourth among wide receivers in target share and has had two encouraging games in a row.

Insight page

CeeDee Lamb

PositiveProjection59:36

CeeDee Lamb is noted as being second in the NFL in receiving yards and having the most 20-plus yard plays.

Insight page

Chris Godwin

NegativeUsage46:40

Chris Godwin saw a 27% target share and received two screen passes in his last game, though the source lacks confidence in his outlook.

Insight page

Chris Olave

NegativeInjury8:52

Chris Olave suffered an injury late in the Week 4 game and did not return to the field for the final touchdown catch.

Insight page

Chuba Hubbard

PositiveValue27:52

The source is high on Chuba Hubbard, noting his consistent production and suggesting he could potentially outperform Derrick Henry rest-of-season.

Insight page
PositiveBreakout51:12

Despite historical efficiency concerns, the source is buying high on Chuba Hubbard, believing he will be very good in the current offense.

Insight page

D.J. Moore

PositiveValue53:26

DJ Moore is a recommended buy while he is injured, as he is heavily targeted when on the field.

Insight page

Dak Prescott

PositiveProjection44:24

Dak Prescott is considered one of the safest quarterback plays for the week, with analysts ranking him consistently in the top 4-5.

Insight page
PositiveProjection45:48

The source prefers Dak Prescott over Trevor Lawrence for fantasy purposes.

Insight page

David Montgomery

NegativeValue64:09

A trade involving David Montgomery is considered 'about even' by the source.

Insight page

Derrick Henry

NegativeProjection25:02

Despite being the RB4, the source warns of declining efficiency, noting his lowest yards before contact (1.01) since joining the Ravens and suggesting he will likely finish closer to RB12 rest-of-season.

Insight page
PositiveUsage63:03

Derrick Henry is tied with Josh Allen for the most rushing touchdowns in the league with seven.

Insight page

Emanuel Wilson

PositiveDepth Chart45:52

The source prefers Emmanuel Wilson over Bucky Irving, Pollard, and Will Shipley.

Insight page

Emeka Egbuka

NegativeProjection45:33

Despite having the most upside among the team's receivers, Egbuka has been disappointing and is currently not a top-40 wide receiver.

Insight page

Garrett Wilson

PositiveValue9:51

Garrett Wilson is a buy-low target. His low route count in Week 4 was due to game script (Jets barely had the ball), and he remains a quality WR2 who can be acquired at a discount from nervous managers.

Insight page

George Pickens

PositiveValue9:51

George Pickens is a recommended buy-low target. Despite a slow start, he has significant potential and is expected to see his target volume balance out as he remains healthy and capable of big plays.

Insight page
PositiveValue22:49

The source suggests trading for George Pickens, noting that he is a high-value target compared to current running back options like Aaron Jones or Alvin Kamara.

Insight page
PositiveValue51:56

George Pickens is considered a buy before Thursday's game, which is viewed as a 'get-right' spot for him.

Insight page

Jalen Hurts

NegativeProjection6:17

Jalen Hurts faces a difficult outlook with three-fifths of the Eagles' starting offensive line missing (Lane Johnson retired, Landon Dickerson out, Cam Juergens in concussion protocol) against the Jaguars' top-ranked AFC defense.

Insight page

Javonte Williams

PositiveUsage46:03

Despite a tough matchup against a strong Tampa Bay run defense, Javonte Williams is considered a must-start player.

Insight page

Jayden Daniels

PositiveInjury8:20

Jayden Daniels is on track to start this week against the Giants, according to Mike Garofalo.

Insight page

Keaton Mitchell

PositiveRole14:35

Keaton Mitchell is being utilized in the Chargers' offense, specifically on edge runs and flare passes, and appears to be a factor the team wants to feature.

Insight page

Kenneth Walker III

PositiveProjection4:51

Kenneth Walker has recorded the most rushing yards through the first four weeks of a season in at least 16 years, with 537 yards. He is currently on pace for 2,282 rushing yards, a start comparable to Arian Foster's 2010 season where Foster finished as the RB1.

Insight page

Ladd McConkey

NegativeInjury9:33

Ladd McConkey is currently day-to-day with an injury.

Insight page
PositiveValue9:51

Ladd McConkey is a buy-low target. While he has struggled with availability, his efficiency metrics (2.13 yards per route run) are strong. He is expected to be heavily targeted upon his return as other Chargers receivers have failed to step up.

Insight page

Lamar Jackson

NegativeInjury8:18

Lamar Jackson has only an outside chance to play in the upcoming Sunday night game against Atlanta due to his injury.

Insight page

Luther Burden

NegativeUsage55:37

Luther Burden's route participation rate is around 68-74%, which the source argues is likely insufficient to be a great fantasy asset without high touchdown volume.

Insight page

Malik Nabers

NegativeValue51:08

The panel is split on Malik Nabers, with some suggesting a buy and others recommending a hold.

Insight page

Mike Evans

NegativeUsage54:48

Mike Evans is fifth in target per route run rate, but his route participation has not eclipsed 76%, which limits his ceiling.

Insight page

Ollie Gordon II

NegativeValue65:31

Ollie Gordon is considered a sell-high candidate after his recent performance.

Insight page

Parker Washington

NegativeValue64:34

Parker Washington is identified as a sell-high candidate who can be paired with George Pickens to acquire high-end running backs.

Insight page

Quentin Johnston

NegativeDepth Chart35:48

The source recommends dropping Quentin Johnston, preferring other options like Trey Harris on the bench.

Insight page

Rhamondre Stevenson

NegativeInjury8:33

Rhamondre Stevenson's injury status is concerning after video of the incident surfaced, despite earlier optimism. He is a player to monitor ahead of the Raiders matchup.

Insight page
PositiveUsage65:10

Rhamondre Stevenson is preferred over Kyle Monongai and David Montgomery in PPR formats.

Insight page

Roman Wilson

PositiveValue46:30

Roman Wilson is ranked ahead of Chris Godwin and Concepcion as a startable option.

Insight page

Stefon Diggs

NegativeUsage56:54

Stefon Diggs ranks sixth in target per route run rate, but like others, he is not running enough routes to maximize his fantasy output.

Insight page

Tyreek Hill

NegativeDepth Chart7:55

Tyreek Hill is facing serious allegations of abuse, which may impact his future availability or willingness of teams to sign him.

0:00How much time do we spend on this podcast talking about value?
0:04Value is everything in fantasy. And that's not a bad way to think about healthcare, too.

0:54If you've ever opened the fridge at the end of a long day and thought, okay, what am I supposed to make for dinner?
1:03You're not alone. During football season, when my schedule is packed, I love having good protein already waiting for me in the freezer.

2:11This is Fantasy Football Today from CBS Sports. What a play!
2:15Can you believe this? He's had no idea. It's time to dominate your fantasy league.
2:20Off to the races, and he stays at his feet.
2:24So here's some combination of Adam, Dave, Jamie, and Heath.
2:27Let's make some trades. Buy low, sell high. Previewing Thursday night football.
2:31Can the Bucs score enough points? Can they keep up with Dallas Cowboys?
2:36We'll discuss that game, try to get to your emails at the end of the show.
2:41And fellas, we are playing our first game show of the regular season this week.
2:46Which one? What do you want it to be?
2:50Who has more? Doesn't count? No, who has more?
2:53Well, that's on CBS Sports Network. I guess that's not really...
2:56That is a game show. It's America's 35th most popular fantasy football-related game show.
3:01But today we're doing Fantasy Jeopardy! Oh, good. Yeah, that's very exciting.
3:06All right. Damn. You guys making trades? Putting out offers?
3:09Active on the trade market? I actually need to run something past Heath about one of my Dynasty teams.
3:16I don't know if this is the appropriate time to do it.
3:20Yes, absolutely. What is Dave trying to get away with?
3:23What's Dave trying to do now? I think I know the answer to this question.
3:28But let's say you enter a year where you've got a team that you think can compete.
3:34And you find yourself with only one win and seven losses after the first four weeks of the season.
3:41At what point do you wave the white flag and say, Okay, I'm going to tank.
3:46I'm going to come back strong next year. Stronger than ever.
3:50Is it too soon to do that when you're one and seven and you look at your opponents for the next four
3:58weeks and you go, Okay, I think I can beat these teams.
4:02I think what determines draft order is a big part of it at first.
4:07And then how many tanking teams do you have?
4:10I think part of the problem with everybody loving the 27 class so much is that in a lot of my leagues,
4:18there have been three or four teams that weren't trying from week one.
4:22And so if I don't really have a chance at a top three pick, then I'm probably going to wait a little bit longer before I start tanking.
4:32All right. I think I've got a pretty good shot at a top three pick if I tank now.
4:38All right. Including the top pick. Okay. So I have.
4:42Go ahead. Yeah. Enough about me and my dynasty team.
4:45Nobody cares. Okay. I gave a stat yesterday that I thought was so interesting on CBS Sports Network.
4:52I went back and I did some more digging.
4:55Kenneth Walker has the most rushing yards through the first four weeks of the season in at least 16 years.
5:02Okay. I looked at the 15 seasons before that and nobody had as many rushing yards as Kenneth Walker does.
5:09So I said, how far back do we have to go to find someone who actually had more rushing yards than Kenneth Walker through the first four weeks?
5:18Well, if I had just gone back one more season to 2010, I would have found Arian Foster was the last guy
5:26to rush for more yards than Kenneth Walker. He had 539.
5:30I think Walker is 537 through the first four weeks.
5:33Foster finished that year averaging 24.7 fantasy points per game, but more with catches than Walker.
5:39Walker's on pace for 2,282 rushing yards. Foster didn't quite keep up the pace.
5:44He ended up with a pace of 1,717 rushing yards.
5:47But that's it. Best start to the season in terms of rushing yards for a running back, Ken Walker, since Arian Foster in 2010.
5:55He was the number one running back that year and he scored 91 more fantasy points than RB2, who was, of course, Peyton Hillis, as we all remember.
6:05Let's do some news and notes here. Lane Johnson retiring.
6:09Really shocking. And he missed week four for personal reasons.
6:12He's retired. He's the Eagles right tackle. Hall of Fame type of career.
6:17It's that about Jalen Hurts, I believe, without Lane Johnson, right?
6:20It's over the last three seasons and includes this season.
6:24He has not had 20 fantasy points in six of 10 games without Lane Johnson.
6:29Now, keep in mind, this week, not only is he going to be without Lane Johnson, but he's also going to be without Landon Dickerson.
6:38And guard Cam Juergens is in the concussion program.
6:41I'm not sure if Juergens is playing guard or center these days.
6:45But it's ugly. Three-fifths of that starting offensive line for Philadelphia, which was supposed to be the biggest strength of their offense,
6:53now gone against the number one defense in the AFC, the Jacksonville Jaguars.
6:57And I watched Markel Bell, the right tackle. I watched his tape about half of the game.
7:03He's filled in. He's a rookie. He's six foot nine.
7:06He is from Miami. So I was very curious to see how he did.
7:11And he's fun because he will just destroy people at times.
7:15But he really struggled in pass protection. And actually, just confirming with PFF, they ranked him 71st in pass blocking out of
7:23basically 75 tackles that played some snaps in week four.
7:26So it was a problem at times. And the Rams, he's had a tough matchup against the Rams.
7:32And sometimes they would send pressure around him, and it just seemed like he didn't know what he was doing.
7:39It was the first start of the career for Markel Bell.
7:43Yeah, the bet's taken a really nasty turn in the last week or so between the Lamar Jackson injury and everything falling apart in Philadelphia.
7:52The bet is over. I know everybody's been over.
7:55It's over. People have been picking up Tyreek Hill, but you probably saw the story with his wife taking the stand and alleging the abuse against Tyreek Hill.
8:05And I do wonder if that affects if teams are going to sign him because it's pretty grotesque stuff that he's been accused of.
8:13Seattle is not signing Joe Mixon. Lamar Jackson has only an outside chance to play this week, according to Ian Rappaport.
8:20They play Sunday night at Atlanta. Jaden Daniels is on track to start this week against the Giants, according to Mike Garofalo.
8:28Two injuries that happened super late in week four that we haven't seen anything.
8:33We talked about Ramondre yesterday, and we seemed to express some optimism that he'd be fine.
8:38But I saw the video of the potential injury, and it's just one to keep in mind.
8:44Ramondre Stevenson this week against the Raiders. I think we know it would be a great opportunity for Travion, Ramondre missed time.
8:52And Chris Olave got hurt late, like one of the last plays of the game in a blowout.
8:58Did he stay in the game, though? No, I don't think so.
9:02I think he came off, and I'm pretty sure Vele caught the touchdown with Olave off the field.
9:09Not 100% on that. So Olave and Ramondre will keep an eye on.
9:13And Tampa Bay plays tomorrow night. Chase McLaughlin, their kicker, he missed practice.
9:18So if you have McLaughlin, you might want to make a switch.
9:22And Colts edge Arden Key is out three to four weeks with a hamstring injury.
9:27Niners defensive line is really banged up, but they could get edge rusher Micah Williams back this week.
9:33Lad McConkie day-to-day. Rashawn Slater, the left tackle for the Chargers, has a high ankle sprain.
9:39Right tackle Joe Ault, I think it's a neck issue for him.
9:43And safety Derwin James is week-to-week as they host the Denver Broncos this week.
9:48Let's do some fill-in-the-blank. My favorite buy low is blank.
9:51George Pickens. Garrett Wilson. Lad McConkie. Oh. Okay. I think Pickens and – give me 30 seconds on Pickens.
9:58Dave, give me 30 seconds on Wilson. And then Heath, give me 30 minutes on McConkie.
10:03Okay. Jamie? I mean, look, he's off to a bad start.
10:07We know there's so much potential for him still.
10:10You know, at some point he's going to have a big game.
10:14It could happen against the Bucs. Their defense just isn't something I think that the Cowboys will fear challenging.
10:21And hopefully they just have enough volume because of what the offense for Tampa Bay brings.
10:27But he's just too good to be producing at such a low level.
10:31And at some point you hope the targets will start to balance out a little bit as CeeDee Lamb just continues to dominate everything there.
10:40But, you know, again, he's healthy. He's given you a few big plays.
10:44He just hasn't given you a few big fantasy games.
10:48And those will definitely start to pile up for him.
10:51I would agree. I'm going to ask Scott Turner about that on Wednesday's reality versus fantasy.
10:57Garrett Wilson ran 18 routes in week four. Bears totally dominated that game.
11:01Jets barely had the ball. They didn't even convert a single third down.
11:06I wouldn't worry about it if you've got Garrett Wilson.
11:09But the person who has Garrett Wilson in your league might not be listening to this.
11:15And they might be nervous about what happened in week four.
11:19So make a low ball offer. Make a medium ball offer.
11:22And get a quality number two fantasy receiver on your squad while he's a little bit discounted.
11:28Heath? So I think this is the time of year that it's like with the buys starting especially.
11:35Like you've got to target those one and three and oh and four teams that have guys that aren't playing this week.
11:42You can get them at a bigger discount than you should be able to.
11:47And Ladd McConkie certainly one of those guys that is fantasy manager probably not having a good time.
11:53Ladd specifically. The big problem for him has just been not being on the field.
11:58He's played more than half of the offensive snaps once so far this season.
12:03If you look at when he's been on the field though, he's averaging 2.13 yards per route run, 10.76 yards per target.
12:11Those are both better than his career averages. So maybe he misses a couple weeks.
12:16They've got a week seven by. Maybe they take that long.
12:20Jim Harbaugh didn't or I guess the right Harbaugh didn't sound as concerned about like a long-term absence for McConkie.
12:27So I think when he gets back, the other thing is the other receivers haven't stepped up in his absence.
12:34So I think when he gets back, he's going to be peppered with targets.
12:39He's been the only good thing about this offense except for maybe Keaton Mitchell.
12:44Could be a great wide receiver too in the second half of the season.
12:48Okay. Yeah. I mean, I have other concerns about McConkie.
12:52Like his average route depth is way up. He's not playing in the slot as much as he used to.
12:59And with a team that can't protect their quarterback, I don't love that.
13:03But I mean, he's getting double teamed a ton.
13:06I totally get what you're saying. Heath. I mean, he, he, I can't get past that week one.
13:13Week one was so good. Five catches, 82 yards and a touchdown on seven targets.
13:18And he left after three quarters. So it was really encouraging stuff.
13:22But now they have like all these offensive line concerns.
13:25And the most traded player right now, we can stay on the Chargers.
13:30The most traded player is Omari and Hampton. And I just saw someone say, I traded Omari and Hampton for Luther Burden.
13:38Is that a win or a loss? Push. Yeah.
13:41It's even maybe a little bit in favor of Hampton, just because Hampton's a running back.
13:46I think, I feel like you guys would probably agree.
13:50I think Omari and Hampton has the potential to be the biggest bust in fantasy.
13:55He's up there. He was in a three-way split in week, in week four.
14:00He barely catches the ball. And I'm saying this because he was obviously a very high pick, right?
14:06A top 15-ish pick. Things look terrible right now for Omari and Hampton.
14:11I'm not really seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.
14:15I didn't expect to say this at the start of the season, but I look forward to when they fire Mike McDaniel,
14:22the new play caller, features Omari and Hampton a little bit more.
14:27But it's not even just that. It's like he only runs up the middle, basically.
14:32They can't block at all. They're terrible up the middle.
14:35Keaton Mitchell looks like they want him to be some factor.
14:39And again, they're not using Hampton in the passing game.
14:42All these things could change. They could start throwing the ball at him, I guess, but I'm just not seeing a lot of encouraging things with Hampton.
14:52I saw a great joke. Dave Hyde, former South Florida Sun Sentinel columnist, said that this is Mike McDaniel's way of trying
14:59to prove that Tua was actually better than Justin Herbert.
15:03He's got to at least try and change what he's doing because he's become predictable.
15:08Because every time it's Hampton in the backfield, defenses are just stepping up to stop the run between the tackles.
15:15And almost every time they use Keaton Mitchell, it's to the edges.
15:19Either an edge run or a flare pass out into the flat.
15:23It's just too predictable. And it's shocking. It's jarring, actually, that the Chargers with Mike McDaniel is just this predictable.
15:30And so I agree. Like, he's either got to go or Jim Harbaugh has got to take over.
15:37And I did think that they got a little more run-centric toward the end of their game against Seattle.
15:43And, yeah, some penalties really helped the Chargers make that game closer than it was.
15:48But they were able to get some things done on the ground.
15:52And I was critical of Hampton going into Week 4.
15:56I thought he looked a little bit better in Week 4, even with the bad blocking.
16:02But it's a mess right now. And people are basically selling low on Amari and Hampton.
16:07And I understand why. I wouldn't give him away.
16:10Getting Luther Burden form in trade is fine. Getting someone even lower than that, like on the trade value chart, who's lower than Luther Burden?
16:19Josh Downs, Stephon Diggs, Carnell Tate. For now, I'd rather just have Hampton than those three.
16:24Okay. And Hampton, yeah. I mean, it was encouraging that they got the run game going a little bit at the end.
16:32And this week, they play a Broncos team that has really struggled against the run.
16:37So hopefully they can. Oh, my gosh. I was going to look at my Amari and Hampton team to see if I could make a trade.
16:46And I'm facing Heath. And I'm a 31-point underdog right now.
16:50What the hell? You must have a Tadaroa or a Chief.
16:54I have Kelsey. But that's not enough to. What league is that?
16:58You got Hampton. Super flex. Oh, yeah. That one turned out okay for me.
17:03That was the league where I waited forever on quarterback and took Bryce Young and CJ Stroud.
17:09Oh, I'm facing Bryce Young this week. That's good.
17:12I like that. I just put Penix. I put Penix in for him, and I'm still a 31-point favorite.
17:18All right. Well, you know, I'm 3-1. I got you, buddy.
17:22All right. My favorite sell high is coming up after this commercial break.
17:27We'll talk about the players who want to sell high.
17:30And we'll keep looking at that most traded list and try to come up with players to trade away for these guys.
17:38We'll be right back on Fantasy Football today. A few weeks ago, a neighbor down the street had someone walk right up

20:14We recently took a trip to Kansas City to catch a football game.
20:18And we made a full weekend out of it.
20:22We spent some time exploring the city, made sure to get some classic Kansas City barbecue, and of course headed to Arrowhead Stadium to take in the game.
20:31Between tailgating the crowd and the energy inside the stadium, it was an awesome experience.
20:36There's just something about a game weekend. Great food, great football, and getting to experience it all together made it a trip to remember.
20:45But while I was surrounded by fans taking in the atmosphere like I was, what hit me was just how many people
20:52were making a weekend out of it in Kansas City like I was, needing a place to hang their head after a night of tailgating and celebrating.
21:02For the local Kansas City folks or anyone who lives in a stadium city, football season is a perfect time to consider listing your space on Airbnb.
21:11Especially if you have travel plans yourself, why let your home sit idle while you're away?
21:17You can help meet the demand when a big game or concert comes to your town and give travelers that home away
21:24from home they need to really experience their trip to the fullest.
21:28It is such a practical way to earn extra money that can go right toward funding the next road trip or covering upcoming household bills.
21:37Your home might be worth more than you think.
21:40Find out how much at airbnb.com slash host. Top players on the most traded list, Amarian Hampton, Saquon Barkley, Malik Neighbors, is third.
21:48Chuba Hubbard is four. Maybe people think he's a sell high.
21:52Let's see who you guys think is a sell high.
21:56My favorite sell high is blank. Let's go Dave, Heath, Jamie.
21:59I'll take the easy one. Alvin Kamara. Derek Henry.
22:02I'll take the easy one. Aaron Jones. That's an easy one too, yes.
22:07Yes, yes. Three running backs. Yeah, yeah. All right, so Jones is just, you know, Jordan Mason should be back pretty soon.
22:15I mean, maybe, but still, he's been awesome. He's also older.
22:18And even if, you know, Mason's still a few weeks away, another bye coming up in week seven, there's still the potential of, you know, Jones breaking down.
22:28And we don't know if Mason is even going to, you know, be the one to be the second guy there.
22:35But I think you're just looking at he's been amazing in the last three games.
22:41And if you can turn him into something great, like I would trade Aaron Jones for George Pickens personally, if I could do that.
22:49Pickens. I would trade a $5 bill for a $100 bill if I could do that.
22:54But if it's Aaron Jones and a good wide receiver.
22:58You're selling high on Alvin Kamara. Yeah, I know.
23:01You're trying to sell a nickel. I'd like to turn this nickel into $100 as well.
23:07People are desperate for running backs. At least with Alvin Kamara, he's got a little bit more leeway before Travis E.
23:1410 comes back. So I guess I could say that in my defense.
23:18But you can take Aaron Jones and somebody else and try and get George Pickens.
23:24That's smart thinking. Would you trade Aaron Jones for Ladd McConkie?
23:27Oh, hell yeah. Of course. I mean, you say of course.
23:31You're trading a $5 bill for a crumpled $5 bill.
23:35Here's the thing. He's playing well, right? He's running well.
23:38He has nine catches in his last two games.
23:41And he could just still be the lead back when Jordan Mason comes back.
23:46He's not going to have 20 carries. Right. He's got like an 85% rush share and a 24% target share since Jones went down.
23:54Like there's just no way this keeps up. Since.
23:58Agreed. Since Mason went down. Okay. Yeah. And by the way, he's the fifth Aaron Jones on the most traded list right behind Chuba Hubbard.
24:06Okay. So Alvin Kamara, Aaron Jones. Yeah. Yeah. Kamara scored two touchdowns.
24:10Anytime a running back like this has a good game in the fantasy stat box, you try and turn them into something.
24:18So Alvin Kamara and a receiver for George Pickens, Alvin Kamara.
24:22How about Alvin Kamara and maybe a little something for Jalen Coker, Emeka Abuka?
24:27The only thing I would say with if you have Kamara and you know what you know what it is, right?
24:34It's like a rental. So do people in your league too, but they're just desperate for running back.
24:40He had seven targets. They throw more than any team in football.
24:44He might just be, you know, a pretty solid PPR RB two for the next three games before they're by.
24:51Right. I'm not saying you shouldn't sell. I'm just saying like he.
24:55Don't give them away. I don't think. He could be useful.
24:59And I wouldn't give them away. Yeah. All right.
25:02Uh, Heath, Derek Henry. Yeah. I got to make a little stronger case for this one, obviously, but you got it.
25:10You got to get something a little better than you would get for Aaron Jones or Alvin Kamara, but he's, he is
25:17the RB four on the season once again. And I know that we've been like taking different turns at being skeptical about
25:25Derek Henry over the last three years. And he's always just awesome.
25:29I think there's some real warning signs. Um, this, we were worried about the run blocking from this Ravens offense coming into the year because they lost Linderbaum.
25:39They lost for card and now they've lost multiple offensive linemen to, injury.
25:43He's averaging 1.01 yards before contact per rush attempt by far the lowest mark since he joined the Ravens.
25:50He's still averaging 4.2 yards per carry. The defenses he's faced have collectively given up 4.3 yards per carry for the season.
25:58So they've been worse when they've not played him than they've been when they've played him.
26:03And the Falcons look like definitely the best run defense he's faced all season doing, facing that defense with Tyler Huntley, a
26:11quarterback could be a little bit gross. I don't think Derek Henry is going to be a bust the rest of the way.
26:19I think it'd be right around RB 12, but I think he's the type of guy, like if you've got some holes
26:26in your roster and you want to trade him for a running back who right now is maybe averaging three or four
26:34or five fantasy points per game, fewer than Henry is, and try to plug one of those holes by getting another player, another two players.
26:43In addition to that, Henry is the type of guy that should get you multiple starters.
26:48And I don't think he will be as good rest of season as he's been so far.
26:54Uh, what? So someone asked in the chat, trying to what running back can you trade Derek Henry for?
27:01Well, it's, it's not straight up. So it's, it's Derek Henry for Javante Williams and a starting wide receiver or Derek Henry
27:08for chase Brown and a starting wide receiver. It's, it's that, it's that type of move.
27:14Who's an interesting one is, um, is Judkins, right?
27:17Like what would you, first of all, you guys buying Judkins because been involved in the passing game.
27:23Um, Brown's offense looks a lot better than we thought.
27:27So yeah, go ahead. Good. I would say the first two guys I gave you, um, or like, I'm just adding a
27:34starting wide receiver to get an, and giving up Derek Henry.
27:38If I'm getting quench on Judkins, then I should be getting a, like, I think this guy could be a top 12 wide receiver.
27:46Yeah. Okay. And then what about Chuba Hubbard? I mean, how much worse is Chuba Hubbard than Derek Henry?
27:53Cause it honestly wouldn't surprise me if he had a better year and that's just me being high on Chuba Hubbard or high on something else.
28:02I think he's right in between the guys I gave and Judkins.
28:06Okay. Okay. So could I get Chuba Hubbard and a top 18 wide receiver or 20 wide receiver?
28:12What if it's a top 30 wide receiver with Chuba?
28:16What if it's a Buka who I think is also a good buy low, by the way, I'm not feeling that makes me want to puke.
28:25I would. Yeah. No chance you're trading for those two.
28:28Okay. What if it's Coker? Oh, that's interesting. Chuba and Coker for Derek Henry.
28:33I'd rather have the Panthers. I think it depends on how desperate you are for a receiver.
28:39And it's really hard to make a trade like that with Carolina on buy.
28:44Like, is your depth really that good that you can afford to?
28:48Well, if you're, if you're forward thinking and your team is in good spot, you could, you know, take the hit in
28:56week five and hopefully manage your way through a win still.
29:00And then you have what the hope would be is two stars moving forward.
29:04I mean, the unfortunate thing with Coker is he's got this injury track record that he's got to prove he can get over.
29:12And what happens? And I don't think it's, it's a significant factor by any stretch, but Jonathan Brooks is still going to return at some point.
29:21Has there been a Chuba and Burden? He's right around that same range as I take, uh, and I take Chuba and Burden.
29:29Okay. And you'd probably take Chuba and Coker too, but you're wincing at a Buka and that's okay.
29:36They're all like in that, like wide receiver 30 range on the trade chart.
29:41You know, I'm just saying with Chuba Hubbard, has there been a player who is, you know, increased his value more than, than Chuba Hubbard and this guy.
29:50So 23.7, 14.4, 15 and 25.9 PPR fantasy points.
29:53I'm assuming he has outscored Derek Henry, but it's probably pretty close.
29:57Well, there there's, there's three guys that are kind of in a similar situation.
30:02It's a sliding scale on what you think the backup's going to do when they're healthy, but you have Chuba Hubbard, Aaron
30:10Jones and Jalen Warren who are all performing very well in a very similar way because they're getting so much work without
30:18any, you know, capable player behind them. So what happens to Warren when Dowdle's healthy?
30:23You, you, you referenced this yesterday about Mike McDaniels, Mike McCarthy saying, um, you know, that they're going to be, you know, still sharing time.
30:31You would anticipate that with the Viking situation, the Panthers one is hard to fathom that, you know, Jonathan Brooks is taking Chuba Hubbard off the field.
30:41Exactly. That's the one. He might, he might just, you know, take what's a top 10 running back and make him a
30:48top 15 guy, which is still important. Yeah, I guess so.
30:52But we don't even know when he's coming back.
30:55He's correct. The other two timetables are a little bit more certain, I guess.
31:00All right. So those are some buy lows and sell highs and just some more trade context.
31:06And yeah, Heath, uh, I was wrong. Derek Henry, about 12 more fantasy points so far than Chuba Hubbard.
31:13Adam, you have that page still open? Which one?
31:16Running back fantasy points. Where's Ashton Gentry on that list?
31:19He is six points behind, five points behind Chuba Hubbard.
31:23He's a, he's RB 10. Does it worry anybody that all of his fantasy production is coming through the air and it's not necessarily consistent?
31:31Like he had the awesome week one, two touchdowns.
31:35He had a great week for six catches and like 60 something yards.
31:39Is that a sell high? And I'm not saying that he's going to like totally fall out.
31:45Like we have to preface every sell high with this because everybody thinks, oh, you hate him, but his rushing efficiency still isn't very good.
31:54I'm not sure you had to qualify Alvin Kamara like that.
31:57But for Gentry, seriously, like if you've got Gentry, do you consider selling high on Gentry the same way you might consider selling high on Derek Henry?
32:07I'm trying to look at their schedule. What do you want to know?
32:11I think. Which teams are on it? Patriots, Bills, Rams.
32:15Yeah. I think after this week, I don't mind the schedule that much.
32:19Although he's already played the Dolphins and Saints. Yeah.
32:22Yeah. I think he's probably going to be, he's RB 10 now.
32:27I think he's probably going to be RB 15 rest of season.
32:31Yeah. The first, first game with Brock Bowers, Gentry only had three targets and I was like, oh, this is problem here.
32:38And then he had eight. So I don't know.
32:42I think he's like, I think he's just like a second round kind of player.
32:47It's just going to be a ton of work, but he said it on Sunday night show.
32:53They wanted to get Mike Washington more involved. They did early and he just, he didn't do anything.
32:59And Gentry was a lot better than Washington in week four.
33:03All right. So those are some bylaws and sell highs.
33:06Let's do some more fill in the blank here.
33:09This is from ghost Kerrigan. I should be blank about Deandre Swift.
33:13Willing to start. Nah, that doesn't make sense with a blue worm.
33:18Yeah. I'm a little worried about Deandre Swift because of the fumble and because Mononga was amazing last game.
33:24So Swift had a, if he didn't get hurt, I'd be with you.
33:29He does. He's day to day though. We're all day to day.
33:33Um, I look, he, he's not a hundred percent.
33:36So that's, that's a positive. If you're the Deandre Swift manager, I guess so.
33:41But I think, I don't think they're running away from Swift because he had a fumble.
33:46No, but maybe they give more work to Mononga.
33:49Cause the thing was Swift is that he had more, he had not had a game all year or last year.
33:57Uh, either all year or all year after Mononga became a thing with back to back, back to back games of 16 or more carries.
34:05And he had that in each of the first three games.
34:09So they were using him much differently. And now I'm just worried it'll be more of an even split.
34:16Uh, this is from free. I may blank for dropping Drake may last week.
34:21You're a knuckle beak. Fine. Ooh. Ooh. Reasonable human being.
34:24Yeah. Uh, I'm feeling regret for dropping, dropping Drake may last week.
34:28I thought you were going to say idiot moron, Adam.
34:32Well, if he had said, I'm an blank, I would have said that, but I didn't want to be grammatically incorrect from hipster doofus.
34:40It's Jalen hurts more like Jalen blank. Jalen hurts.
34:43Uh, Jalen sucks. I don't know. More like Jalen hurts your fantasy team.
34:48Yes. There you go. Wait, I'm going to hit a button and see if it's the right one.
34:54Yes. Hurts or Drake may rest of season. May.
34:57May. You guys are all right back in on Drake may.
35:01No, we had him QB two or three at the start of the year.
35:06I've got him QB 10 for this week. It's just, I, I don't know.
35:11I feel like this Jalen, the situation Jalen hurts is in currently is about as bad as any situation of it for any quarterback.
35:19And eventually AJ Brown's coming back. Patriots offensive line is already like battled through their first injury and they seem to be okay.
35:27I agree that Drake may wasn't perfect in week four, but I felt like he started to like turn the corner and gain his confidence back.
35:36And he ran. He ran. I think that's part of it.
35:40I think just, just getting out there and running around helped him play a little bit more free.
35:46He ran so far away. Bruin says blank chargers can be dropped.
35:50Uh, Mike Daniel. Two. Two chargers. Uh, which ones Herbert and Quentin Johnson.
35:55Are you, are you even speculating on Trey Harris?
35:58I've got him on a couple of benches. Me too.
36:01I'd rather have him than Quentin Johnston. Yep. If McConkie doesn't play this week against the Broncos who will be without Sertan
36:09and maybe without Riley Moss as well. Should we drop?
36:12Should we drop Johnston or hold on? I would drop Johnston.
36:16They also have a buy in week seven. Week seven.
36:20So what's that? Is it seven or eight? Well, that's a lot.
36:24Chargers are seven. Yeah. All right. Next one from Frank Parker, Washington.
36:28When are you going to feel comfortable starting Quentin Johnson?
36:31If you're not going to do it against a team that's got backups at corner, then when would it ever be?
36:39Right. They also have backups on the offensive line and it's going to be a tough game for Herbert once again.
36:46Actually, I skipped this one. The best bears wide receiver or tight end rest of season will be blank.
36:53And I mean that in terms of fantasy value, you know, like per position.
36:57Luther, Luther Burden. I agree. Burden. Khalif Raymond. Nah.
37:01You're lying. Adam hasn't realized something yet. What happened?
37:04Did you look at our waivers results? No. You dropped Khalif Raymond?
37:08We dropped Khalif Raymond. For who? Carnell Tate. Oh, I love it.
37:12That's great. Well, didn't I put in a claim for Carnell Tate?
37:16Yeah, but you had like seven different players you wanted to add dropping Brian Thomas Jr.
37:22Oh, okay. And I thought we might want more than one of those guys.
37:27Fair enough. So I upped the bid on Tate and changed Thomas to Raymond.
37:31Exciting stuff going on with Carnell Tate. We'll talk about it soon.
37:36And last one, Parker Washington is wide receiver blank rest of season.
37:40Wide receiver 15. Those are excellent guesses. And I think that sounds about right.
37:45Okay. So Washington, bad game last week. Watched the tape this morning.
37:49He was actually, when he was outside, not in the slot, he was pretty much shadowed by DJ Turner.
37:55So good job, DJ Turner, for shutting down another wide receiver.
37:59And only 23 pass attempts for Trevor Lawrence. There's one stat, though, on Parker Washington.
38:04As you think of him as a slot guy, he's a different kind of slot guy.
38:10He is fifth among, there are 51 wide receivers with 20 or more targets.
38:15He's fifth in average route depth. This is not a list that I like very much.
38:20I don't like my wide receivers to be at the top of this list.
38:25The top 10 right now in average route depth, Jamison Williams, Romo Dunze, Mac Hollins, Cortland Sutton, Parker Washington, Garrett Wilson.
38:32Wilson kind of skewed more by one game, whereas Washington's been more consistently high average route depth.
38:38Jordan Addison, George Pickens, Dontavian Wicks, Denzel Boston. It's not like the worst thing in the world, but it's not my favorite thing.
38:46So it's a little surprising to see Parker Washington on that list.
38:50And it is a little bit concerning that Trevor Lawrence is averaging 26 pass attempts per game.
38:56Yeah. Yeah. Like that's, that's not exactly an ideal environment unless you were getting a 30% target share.
39:03He probably was getting fairly close to that right before week four.
39:07Maybe not. Yeah. Well, let's see. He had six.
39:10That sounds about right. I don't know. Six, 12 and five targets in three games.
39:15First three games. All right. Fun, fun thing for you to watch tonight as the Yankees get eliminated is NFL play action on Paramount Plus.
39:24It's a, it's a fun show where football meets culture.
39:27You can see the promo here. They just do some crazy stuff and just bring you a different side of football.
39:34It's really cool. Good interviews. And I'm on it.
39:38Uh, it's, it wears Wednesday nights and Tom Paramount Plus.
39:41And it's cool. It's quick. It's like 30, 35 minutes.
39:45And we do some fun fantasy shenanigans. So check it out.
39:48Let me know what you think. Tampa Bay is at Dallas.
39:52Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. Nah. He smashed the mic.
39:56All right. Tampa Bay at Dallas. So the bucks, you know, we're hopeful for George Pickens, but it's worth noting.
40:03They're giving up the fourth fewest fantasy points to wide receivers.
40:07They see the third fewest wide receiver targets per game, the bucks, and they see the eighth most tight end targets per game.
40:15They've been bad against tight ends, but good against Jamar Chase.
40:19Jamar Chase had 12 yards. T Higgins had 59 yards.
40:22Denzel Boston had a big game. Jordan Addison had a big game.
40:26Matthew Golden had 21 yards. Christian Watson had 47 yards.
40:30Golden did catch a touchdown. So I don't really know what to make of it.
40:35But Heath, is this game even worth discussing? It was the easiest game to preview in the world.
40:41Yeah. I mean, I think if people are considering like, do I want to start George Pickens?
40:47I don't think we should just scoff at that.
40:50I understand why you're feeling that way. We're going to start him.
40:55We're going to start lamb. We're going to start deck.
40:58We're going to start Javante. Bucky is the only Tampa Bay player that we're going to start.
41:04And I feel a little bit gross about it just because the targets disappeared with Jalen Daniels.
41:10But you're going to start him. There's not enough running backs to not start him.
41:15We could start on Bucky Irving because not only did the targets disappear, but Sean Tucker appeared and stole the stinking goal line touchdown.
41:23That was their first team rush attempt inside the five-yard lane, which tells you so many things about this offense right now.
41:31They've had one rush attempt for the season inside the five-yard lane.
41:35I don't feel super. Which is one more than Bucky has in the last 18 months.
41:41Would you start Omarian Hampton or Bucky Irving? I have Bucky higher, but I feel kind of gross about it.
41:48Would you start Bucky? I'm not sure who you put ahead of Bucky.
41:52Actually, maybe you can make the case for Hampton because he's going up against Denver.
41:57And because it's... I mean, they both have fairly easy matchups.
42:01Yeah, that's true. Well, Dallas' run defense isn't that bad.
42:05No. The only thing they've been really good at is limiting explosive plays.
42:09All right. Well... Denver gives up plenty of those.
42:12Four yards per carry. They were bad week one against the Giants, but since then they've been pretty solid.
42:19They held Derrick Henry to 26 carries, 89 yards, and he did have two touchdowns.
42:24The Houston running backs were terrible last week. Yeah.
42:27So... Yeah. How about... How about Emmanuel Wilson or Bucky Irving?
42:31Wilson. I've got Bucky. I've got Wilson. Quinchon Judkins.
42:34Oh, I'm the high guy on Bucky. I've got to move Bucky down.
42:39Ugh. Judkins. Judkins at the Jets. I have Judkins over Bucky.
42:42All right. Braylon Allen against the Browns or Bucky?
42:46We found the guy. I'd rather have Bucky. I'd still go Bucky.
42:50I'm going Braylon Allen. I think, like, he has every running back touch for the Jets since Brees Hall got hurt.
42:57And the only reason he wasn't good last week for fantasy purposes is because the team ran 33 offensive plays.
43:04They might run double that this week. Yeah. All right.
43:07How about the ever-difficult-to-start Jameson? It's funny you say that, though, because they're playing a better defense this week.
43:14They are, but no one runs 33 plays. Jameson Williams at Arizona or Bucky Irving?
43:19J-Mo. Bucky. J-Mo or George Pickens? Pickens. Pickens. Neighbors or Pickens?
43:23Neighbors. Pickens. Packers wide receiver or Pickens? Watson, Pickens, Golden.
43:26That's the Watson-Golden Pickens. All right. Pickens is 18th for Jamie, 11th for Dave, 13th for Heath.
43:32I might have Golden ahead of Pickens. You have, yep, Golden 17th, Pickens 18th.
43:37All right. So that's Jake Ferguson. Starter's it, Dave?
43:40Wouldn't want to start him. Wouldn't want to be a...
43:44Okay. I know you wouldn't want to start him, but the Bucs really kind of stink against tight ends.
43:50I don't know if that matters to you. He's a touchdown or bust tight end.
43:56Well outside the top 12. Well, not well outside the top 12.
44:00Like, I'd rather start Higby. For now, I've got Hawkinson ahead of him.
44:04For now, I've got Kosicki ahead of him. Harold Fannin is an easy start ahead of him.
44:10Just anybody that could get in the neighborhood of four catches with a semblance of touchdown upside should go ahead of Ferguson.
44:18What a crap week at quarterback. But, you know, Dak, it's not like the matchup is bad or anything like that, but
44:25are you just concerned at all about him not having to throw much?
44:30And, you know, everybody's got him top five. Jamie, you have him second.
44:34So I guess there's not a ton of concern about him.
44:38No, I don't. You don't have him second? No.
44:41Oh, you do. Where do you have him? Oh, wait.
44:45Fourth, I believe. Oh, I hit refresh. Now you have him fourth.
44:49Heath, Heath fourth, Dave fifth, Jamie fourth. So the guys they would start over Dak are Josh Allen, Matthew Stafford, Jared Goff,
44:57and like Dave has Burrow, and that's it. Okay.
45:00Well, does anybody want to talk about Dak or just?
45:03I think if you've got him, you're starting him.
45:06He's one of the safest plays this week. Yeah.
45:09Just hope the Bucs can keep up their end of the bargain.
45:14Is there anyone else on the Bucs? Like Kate Otten's getting six targets most weeks.
45:19Five to six targets. There's not a pass catcher you could start with confidence from Tampa Barrett.
45:25There you go. No. Who's the best one? I mean, look, if you want to go based on the one-game sample size, it's Godwin.
45:33You got you nine PPR points, 9.1. Abuka still has the most upside, but he's just been so disappointing right now.
45:40So they're at best number three receivers. I have Abuka the highest, but neither of them are in my top 40 wide receivers.
45:48Do we have some questions? All right. Dak or Trevor Lawrence?
45:52Dak. I have Dak higher. Dak. Bucky, Pollard, Emmanuel Wilson, or Will Shipley?
45:57Wilson. Yeah, Wilson. Or wait, hold on. Sorry, Heath.
46:00Emmanuel. Thank you. Cowboys or Bengals DST? Cowboys for me.
46:03Cincinnati. I have the Bengals. Javante Williams is a must start, right?
46:07Yes. Oh, yes. Very good run defense, though. The Bucs have a good run defense.
46:13So did Houston. Yeah. I know, but he ran.
46:16He didn't run well last week. That's not what he's going to do.
46:20I understand. He scored touchdowns. Yes, of course, he is a must start.
46:25I just want to point it out. It's not like this is an easy matchup.
46:30Chris Godwin, Concepcion, or Roman Wilson? Pick two. Wilson is first to that threesome for me.
46:35He is for me. Wilson, too. I think if you're in this situation, what I would probably do is wait, if you
46:43can, see the injury situations in Buffalo and Cincinnati, and if you could pick up one of Coleman, Shakir, or Dante Myers,
46:51and play that player as your second receiver. Wait, you said Shakir, Dante Myers.
46:56Who was the first guy you said? Keon Coleman.
46:59Oh. Coleman! I do have Concepcion ahead of Godwin, but again, not much confidence.
47:03The stat lines will be similar. Six for 30.
47:07I don't know. Concepcion might get more targets. Cowboys.
47:10Well, they did give two screen passes to Godwin last week, so that was cool.
47:15He had a 20. Yeah, they did for Ibuka, too.
47:18That's how he got his number. Oh, yeah. 27% target share, I think, for Godwin.
47:24Something like that. Yahoo. Anyway, the Cowboys DST. No, we're CBS.
47:2725% rostered. They have been absolutely horrible this year.
47:31At the Giants, Washington, Baltimore, at Houston. They do not have an interception.
47:35I think they will get there first, but Jamie, you're super high on them.
47:40You have them, well, you're going to tell me that I'm wrong, but as of now, you have them fourth, I think.
47:48Dave 10th. Heath 14th for the Cowboys. Jamie? I mean, the Bucs offense is atrocious.
47:53It was atrocious before Baker Mayfield got hurt, and I just don't trust Jalen Daniels.
47:58I think it's going to be an opportunity for the Dallas defense to get right.
48:03Heath, you're the low guy. 14. Well, I'm not sure that they possess the ability to get right.
48:09And 14's much, much higher than what their production would suggest.
48:13I think what Tampa Bay is going to try to do, and they did it last week, is run the ball a lot more than they throw it.
48:23So if they can do that, there won't be quite as many opportunities for Jalen Daniels to make mistakes.
48:29Okay. And then they'll be down by three touchdowns, and let's go get them.
48:34Which they have barely done this year. They have four games.
48:38There should be some turnovers here. We'll take a break, and the Bucs, by the way, give up the most fantasy points to DSTs.
48:46We'll take a break, and when we come back, we'll take one last look at the most traded list.
48:53We'll do some buy-sell-hold. I got some wide receiver stats that might interest you, and then it's fantasy jeopardy time.
49:00And if we have time, we'll get to your emails.

50:07Creatine is easily one of the most researched supplements on the planet, but I hit a point where I realized just trusting a pretty label wasn't enough.
50:16I needed actual verification. That's why I made the switch to Momentus Signature Spec Creatine.
50:21Instead of chasing flavor trends, Momentus set a brand new benchmark by producing their creatine in a pharmaceutical facility with reverse osmosis water purification.
50:29It undergoes a rigorous six-stage testing process with four independent agencies, guaranteeing 10 times fewer impurities, tighter heavy metal limits, and tests for microplastics and PFAs.
50:38From my own routine, having that level of purity is non-negotiable.
50:42And the fact that it's an ultra-fine powder that mixes seamlessly with no clumping makes it effortless to take every day for power, recovery, and brain health.
50:52If you want to try Momentus Signature Spec Creatine, head to livemomentus.com and use code FFT for up to 35% off your entire first order.
51:00That's livemomentus.com, promo code FFT for up to 35% off.
51:04Livemomentus.com, promo code FFT. All right, the most traded list, Omari and Hampton.
51:08We talked about Saquon Barkley's injured. Malik Neighbors, buy, sell, hold.
51:12Bye. Hold. Hold. Hold. Chuba Hubbard, buy, sell, hold.
51:15Hold. Definitely hold. I'm buying high. You're buying high?
51:18Wow, okay. I just think he's going to be really good.
51:22You know, it's hard not to buy their offense, right?
51:26Yeah. I don't get Chuba Hubbard. I mean, look at this guy's stat sheet.
51:30It's like, oh, 4.6 yards per carry, 3.5 yards per carry next year.
51:35Like, it just, his longest run, we had one run longer than 12 yards last year, and now he's looking great.
51:42Aaron Jones. He was hurt last year. Emeka Abuka, buy, sell, hold.
51:46I mean, you can get him cheap, so buy if it's really cheap.
51:51Agreed. I'd be closer to a sell than a buy, but probably a hold.
51:56I guess we think George Pickens is a buy.
51:59Basil Tootin, buy, sell, hold. He's a buy before Thursday.
52:02You want to talk about a get-right spot, it's this game for Pickens.
52:07Yeah, again, I just, I'm worried about the game script.
52:10I think Dallas can kind of do what they want against the secondary.
52:15I'm not worried in the sense that, like, if you said a get-right game, it would be a shootout against Detroit.
52:22That's all I'm saying. I'm starting Pickens, and I'm high on Pickens.
52:26Like, I don't think there's much to worry about, but Tampa Bay with a backup quarterback, I don't know if that's...
52:34I'd start getting concerned if he gets opportunities against Tampa and just doesn't have, has another whole game.
52:40That's when I might start getting concerned. I'd get pretty concerned if CeeDee Lamb has a 50% target share and he's back, he's in the teens again.
52:49Yeah. Basil Tootin, buy, sell, hold. I was coaching third base last night, and I was holding in a Tootin for a while.
52:57I'd buy that. Hold your Tootin. You would buy that?
53:01I'd buy the story. I'd buy that JB was telling that.
53:04Yeah. It all... Yeah. Why wouldn't you just let it go?
53:08You're outside. If I was quiet, I knew it was going to be a loud one.
53:14Jeez. I would have been selling that so fast.
53:17Now feels like a good time for me to tell you all to vote for us for some type of award.
53:24There currently isn't one. And then, you know, like DJ Moore is on the most traded list.
53:30When DJ Moore is on the field, he is heavily targeted and he's hurt right now.
53:36Buy. Yeah. That's a good buy, though. And then, yeah, just really look at the Teddero, McMillan, Bryce Young, Jalen Coker, Chuba Hubbard managers.
53:44Look at the... Maybe you want to... Maybe Rasheed Rice.
53:47I don't know. That one seems like because they could sign Tyreek and he's got the injury.
53:53But take advantage of the desperate managers and the A.J.
53:57Brown manager. If the A.J. Brown manager is struggling, you know, this is a good time to make some trade offers for A.J.
54:05Brown. That manager needs to win now. Okay. Some wide receiver stats.
54:09Just a few. Carnell Tate is fourth among wide receivers in target share behind JSN, CeeDee Lamb, and number three.
54:16Do you guys remember from yesterday? Carnell Tate, CeeDee Lamb.
54:19So JSN's one in target share. CeeDee Lamb is two.
54:23Four is Carnell Tate. Tate number three is... Isn't it Zay?
54:27Michael Wilson. Zay Wilson. Is it Zay Flowers? How many targets does Zay Flowers have?
54:32Zay missed a game and team target share is showing for the season.
54:36Right, right. So that's why. You're convoluted stat. Yeah, so Carnell Tate, I think there's some encouraging things happening here and two
54:44good games in a row, two encouraging games in a row for him.
54:48This stat here, among 51 wide receivers with 20 or more targets, Mike Evans is fifth in target per out run rate.
54:56He's behind Zay Flowers, JSN, CeeDee Lamb, and Puka Nakua.
55:00Target per out run rate is a great stat to predict wide receiver success.
55:04Yeah, go ahead. Better than your team target share stat.
55:08I didn't think it was possible for everybody to be right about Mike Evans, but so far, it's like when he's on the field, he's completely awesome.
55:17And there's a different injury every other week that he's not on the field.
55:22So, I mean, he's always playing. It's just how much, how long?
55:26He doesn't. I don't know what a full route participation rate for Evans is, but so far, he has not eclipsed 76%.
55:34And I noticed the same thing with Luther Burden.
55:37Luther Burden last week was kind of low for Burden and route participation rate was like 68%, but usually Burden's around 73, 74%.
55:45So, I went back and I looked at all of the wide receivers last year who averaged 14 or more PPR fantasy
55:53points per game and what their route participation rates were.
55:56And not for the full season, but only the games in which they actually played.
56:01And most of, almost all of, I think Puka Nakua was the only one who averaged 14 or more PPR fantasy points
56:09per game and did not have a route participation rate above 80%.
56:13You did have some guys in like the low 80s, but mostly it is 80%.
56:18And Puka had a few games where he like was kind of limited and, you know, he was often above 85%.
56:26So, when I look at Luther Burden, I see Mike Evans right now.
56:30I love what they're doing. They're not running enough routes, I think, to be great.
56:35They could be good. They could be must start in like a two and wide receiver two, you know, sense.
56:42But I don't know, unless they score a bunch of touchdowns, which Evans could, Burden probably won't.
56:48I don't know that they're running enough routes. I think that needs to be pointed out.
56:54And then the last thing is Stefan Diggs is sixth in target per route run rate.
56:59It's kind of looking a lot like last year for Diggs.
57:03Another guy, he's not running enough routes. But when he's on the field, he gets targeted.
57:09Well, think about two of the guys you mentioned, though.
57:12Their quarterbacks have been hurt. Who did I mention?
57:15You mentioned Luther Burden and you mentioned Stefan Diggs.
57:18Yeah, I don't know if that would change their route participation rates, though.
57:23Well, it'd change their production. Yeah. You know, these are things that...
57:27I'm not sure if it would change Burdens for the better or for the worse.
57:32Well, I think you get... Coaches get conservative when they have backup quarterbacks, you know.
57:37And so the Keenum game plan was a little bit more aggressive, I think, than people expected.
57:43And it worked out well for Burden, right? If I'm not mistaken.
57:47Yes. You got pushed through the end zone four yards.
57:51The Washington game plan went kaput last week when it could have been great against Indianapolis.
57:56You guys ready for some Jeopardy? Yeah, that's the Jeopardy theme song.
58:01Jeopardy is the game of the week. Might be.
58:04Forget it. I lost the theme music. All right, Fantasy Jeopardy.
58:08We have three categories. All of them are for $200, $400, and $600.
58:12I did not do a final Jeopardy question, so I'm going to ask Sam and Tom...
58:18Sam and Tom. Sam and Tom. Sam and Thomas to come up with a final Jeopardy question if they have time.
58:25If not, no big deal. Our categories today are quarterbacks...
58:28People call Thomas Tom? I've never called him that in my life.
58:32Tom! Hey, Tom. Quarterback? I just turned into a 50-year-old man.
58:36Welcome to the club. All right, quarterbacks, flexes, so that's running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends.
58:42And famous Sam's in honor of Sam, our other producer.
58:46Why not famous Toms? That's next week. Quarterbacks, flexes, and famous Sam's.
58:50Heath, I assume you won the last game, so your board is yours.
58:54Let's do famous Sam's for $200, please. The second pick in the 1984 NBA draft, he wasn't as good as the player...
59:02Jamie. Are you kidding? I said Dave before I read it.
59:06I was you, I'm sorry. I let Jamie say Dave.
59:09I thought I heard... Jamie. Hey, Tom. Dave. It's Sam Bowie.
59:13What's that? Who is Sam Bowie? Who is Sam Bowie?
59:17All right, I'll give it to you. But from now on, if I don't hear a who is, you get it wrong.
59:24All right, Dave gets the first one, Sam Bowie.
59:27What board is yours? Flexes for $200, Tom. He leads the Minnesota Vikings in receiving.
59:32Jamie. Jamie. Who is TJ Hawkinson? Correct. Very good.
59:36Board is yours. Flexes for $400. This wide receiver is second in the NFL in receiving yards, and he has the most 20-plus yard plays in the NFL.
59:45Jamie. Yeah. Who is CeeDee Lamb? Wrong buzzer sound.
59:48Second in the NFL in receiving yards and has the most...
59:52Heath. Heath. Who is Zay Flowers? Wrong buzzer sound.
59:55I get a shot, right? Yep. Who is Chris Olave?
59:59Oh, Dave. Ew. 600 points. Jamie has 200. Dave, the board is yours.
60:03What's left in the famous Sam's? 400 and 600.
60:06Famous Sam's for 600. 600? Ooh, okay. Ooh. I wish there was 600.
60:11This loyal best friend is never afraid to go on a dangerous journey.
60:15This loyal best friend is never afraid to go on a dangerous journey.
60:20Who is Samwise? Samwise Gamgee or whatever his name is.
60:23Lord of the Rings. Oh. Frodo's friend. Sam, that's a Samwise.
60:27It's a Sam. This isn't famous Samwise. You guys are lacking in your Sam knowledge.
60:32It's not a good look. Has anybody ever noticed how Sam sounds like Dan?
60:37Oh, is that a jersey thing? Might be. Maybe.
60:40Could be. The board is still yours, Dave. I'm hoping that you've got a certain left fielder is the answer to this question.
60:48Famous Sam's for 400, please. His song, Stay With Me, bears a startling resemblance to Tom Petty's I Won't Back Down.
60:56Oh. How do I? Isn't this your guy? No.
60:59No? Not Sam either. I don't know. Although he did do a cover of Sam Fender's song, 17 Going Under.
61:06And his name is? Who is Sam Smith? Stay with me.
61:10Great Chicago Bulls reporter in there. No, I won't back down.
61:13All right. We got Flexi. Found a way to work in Adam Sings.
61:18That's nice. No Sam Antonacci in there is a crime.
61:21There was actually like a settlement in that whole thing.
61:25No one cares. Flex is for 400, please. We already did that one.
61:29Flex is for 600, please. These two AFC West wide receivers lead the NFL with six end zone targets.
61:36These two AFC West. Oh, no. Wait, wait. Did I say AFC?
61:40You said AFC. These two NFC West wide receivers lead the NFL.
61:44What a terrible job. Oh, my God. NFC West wide receivers, six end zone targets lead the NFL.
61:50Oh, my God. Heath. Yeah. I'm going to get this so wrong.
61:55Who are JSN and Devante Adams? It's a good guess.
61:58Logical guess. I'm going to get shut out today.
62:01Jamie, who are JSN and Mike Evans? Who are JSN and Michael Wilson?
62:06Oh, Dave is just crushing it today. Hey. Dave with 1,200.
62:10Heath, you need to sweep. Heath or Jamie needs to sweep quarterbacks here to get Jamie for the win.
62:16Heath for the tie. All right. I'm just going to go 200, 400, 600.
62:21Quarterbacks for 200. He leads the league in passer rating.
62:24Heath. Amy. Heath. Who is Brock Purdy? Correct. Quarterbacks for 400.
62:28He is second in the league in passer rating.
62:31Oh. Heath. Heath. Who is Bryce Young? Oh. The game is officially over now.
62:36Dave was going to win. Okay. That's incorrect. Second in the league in passer rating.
62:41Dave. Mm-hmm. Who is Trevor Lawrence? Oh, wait. The game is not over.
62:46If Jamie gets these next two, he ties Dave.
62:49Who is Tyler Shuck? Game is over. Who is Lamar Jackson?
62:53Second in the NFL in passer rating. Yes. And quarterbacks for 600.
62:57This is the amount of running backs who have as many or more rushing touchdowns as Josh Allen.
63:03Heath. Heath. What is two? Dave. Dave. What is one?
63:07Dave crushing it. Another six. It was Kenneth Walker, right?
63:10No, it's Derrick Henry. That's what I said. Derrick Henry.
63:14They both have seven rushing touchdowns. I've got one for you, Adam.
63:18Ooh, okay. This producer who's been taking care of fantasy football today for multiple years has a first name that you've known.
63:25Who is Tom? Tom. I'm going to just go.
63:29I have one for Heath. Heath. How many different problems does Adam have with his eye?
63:34What is three? Oh, nailed it. Very good. I think that should give Heath the win.
63:40I'm giving my win to Heath so he can keep his streak alive.
63:44It is really painful. It absolutely stinks. I hate this.
63:48All right. I'm going to read a few questions from my inbox here.
63:52Grade the trade from Joel. Neighbors. He's three and one.
63:56Looking forward to the future. Neighbors and Bucky Irving for AJ Brown and Bejal Tootin.
64:01No. B plus. Feels about even to me. C minus.
64:04All right. Here's a David Montgomery trade. I traded David Montgomery and RJ.
64:09Oh, no. For RJ Harvey. It's about even. B.
64:12B minus. I assume it's full PPR. Yeah. He didn't say.
64:16Michael says, I have Pickens, Burden, Terry, Nico, and Parker Washington.
64:20Should I trade any of them? Pickens, Burden, Terry, McLaurin, Nico, and Parker Washington.
64:24No. No. Should I trade any of them for a wide receiver or running back upgrade?
64:30I mean, the only sell high candidate would be Parker Washington.
64:34If you want somebody that's looking to acquire George Pickens, you can.
64:38But it's a pretty good group. You're definitely going to hang on to Nico.
64:43And I think you could ask for quite a bit if you're going to pair Pickens with Parker Washington.
64:49You can get almost any running back you want, except maybe the big three.
64:54A lot of people have been asking if anyone farted on my pillow.
64:59I have a suspect. When was the last time Nando was at your house?
65:04No, it's been a long time. Start one from Chesky.
65:07Yeah, I'm going to go fart on Adam's pillow.
65:10Don't tell anybody. Start. Ramondre Stevenson, Kyle Monongai, or David Montgomery?
65:14PPR. Ramondre, Monongai, or who? Montgomery. I think it's Ramondre.
65:17Hopefully he practices. I think it's Montgomery, but gross.
65:21Last trade question from Mike. No, I have Ramondre, too.
65:24Sorry. It's all good. What's the question here, Mike?
65:27So he has Ollie Gordon. Oh, trade Ollie Gordon for Carnell Tate.
65:31A plus. Love it. A plus. Yeah. All right, there you go.
65:35We just found a good sell high, didn't we?
65:39Who, Ollie Gordon? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that's like belly button lint for...
65:43No, that's too disrespectful. I won't say that. But sure, he's absolutely a sell high after the game he had.
65:50You guys want the final Jeopardy question that Thomas came up with?
65:54Yes. Yes, yes, yes. All right. All right. In this...
65:58Hold on. Do you know the answer? I see it in my email.
66:02Okay. All right. Fine, fine, fine. In this 1999 football movie...
66:06Well, no. See, Thomas, all right. In a 1999 football movie, this fictional team plays its home games at the fictional Pro
66:14Player Stadium and features quarterback Willie Beeman. Oh. Jamie.
66:17Dave. Jamie. What is the longest yard? Not nine.
66:20No, Dave! Dave? What is any given Sunday? Any given Sunday.
66:24Incorrect. I'm going to read the question again. Because Thomas actually wrote it very poorly with two questions, and I changed it.
66:31I should be... In a 1999 football movie, this fictional team plays its home games at Pro Player Stadium.
66:38Jamie. No, he already... Yeah. Yeah, but he doesn't know it.
66:42Come on. Are you kidding? He knew it. No, he doesn't.
66:46The Miami Sharks. Yes. Way to go, Tom. No, no.
66:49Fun fact. What's the old quarterback actor, Dennis Quaid?
66:52Yeah. What was his character's name? Oh, I don't remember.
66:56I don't remember either. Tom? The old house he used in the movie?
67:00Yeah, who's? Dan Marino's. Really? Yeah, that was Marino's actual house.
67:04Oh, that's cool. That's cool. Yeah. People talk about Al Pacino as being this great coach, but he clearly put Dennis Quaid's life in jeopardy.
67:13He was horrible to him, right? Like, he had a concussion, and he convinced them to play, right?
67:19Well, that was James Woods. He was the team doctor.
67:22Oh, okay, okay. He was doing all the shady stuff, and it was a little bit more common back in 1999.
67:30I guess. It can still happen a little bit today.
67:33Pacino was the shady. He was a shady coach, too.
67:37He dipped out on the Sharks and went to Albuquerque.
67:40Well, that was... I mean, you keep hearing all of the Lions should have kept Ben Johnson.
67:46And what are the other ones? The Bucs should have kept Liam Cohen.
67:50The Miami Sharks actually did that. They kept their young offensive coordinator.

67:58I just know they had Lawrence Taylor. And I was going to say about the concussion stuff, hindsight is 20-20, but not a lot of things are 20-20.
68:08Who was one of the receivers in the team?
68:11LL Cool J? T.O. Oh, T.O. T.O was on the team.
68:15And the only reason we remember Willie Beeman's name is because of the song.
68:19No, because Steeman Willie Beeman. Right? All right, we got to go.
68:24We'll talk to you tomorrow. I'm just going to get you to stick with Willie Beeman's call.
68:30The running back was LL Cool J. Yeah. Yeah.
68:33And actually got in a fight for real with Jamie Foxx.
68:36Really? Yeah. I don't feel like I need to see this movie again.
68:41I didn't love it so much. We'll be back tomorrow.
68:44Start or sit for the AFC home game. You'd rather see a real football movie like Jerry McCartney?
