Player analysis
Player insights
A.J. Brown
NegativeValue26:44
The source advises trading away AJ Brown now due to his injury and age, suggesting managers should look to flip him for younger assets like Devonta Smith or Jaylen Waddle.
Insight pageAntonio Williams
PositiveSleeper52:38
The source strongly recommends stashing Antonio Williams, highlighting his separation scores and his ability to lead the team in receiving yards as a rookie in his first game.
Insight pageBlake Corum
NegativeUsage40:01
Blake Corum is recommended as a high-floor play for managers who need to bank points, as he is projected for around 12 touches against the Giants.
Insight pageBrian Thomas Jr.
PositiveValue46:58
The source prefers Brian Thomas Jr. as a trade target in dynasty formats, suggesting he has long-term upside despite his current situation with the Jaguars.
Insight pageCeeDee Lamb
NegativeValue27:34
Erickson suggests that CeeDee Lamb is a viable trade asset to move in order to acquire a top-tier running back if the roster construction necessitates it.
Insight pageDallas Goedert
PositiveValue42:29
The source suggests that Dallas Goedert is a strong flex option and a valuable trade asset, recommending that managers acquire him to bolster their roster depth for future trades.
Insight pageDalton Schultz
PositiveUsage14:10
With Nico Collins trending toward not playing due to a hamstring injury, Dalton Schultz sees an uptick in value and is considered a top-10 tight end for the week based on projected volume.
Insight pageDerrick Henry
PositiveValue27:34
Erickson advises that if a team is struggling at running back, they should be willing to trade a top-tier wide receiver to acquire a high-end running back like Derrick Henry.
Insight pageEmeka Egbuka
PositiveUsage51:08
The source is high on Emeka Egbuka, citing his high rate of pre-snap movement and his role in the slot, and advises against trading him for A.J. Brown.
Insight pageGeno Smith
NegativeValue22:18
The source uses Geno Smith as a benchmark for a 72 overall fantasy profile rating, suggesting it is a baseline performance level.
Insight pageJaylen Waddle
NegativeUsage40:01
Jaylen Waddle is viewed as a boom-or-bust play; he is recommended if the manager needs a high-ceiling outcome, but carries risk due to the Dolphins' offensive struggles.
Insight pageJustin Jefferson
NegativeValue27:34
Erickson notes that Justin Jefferson is a high-value asset that should be considered in trade packages if it is the necessary cost to secure a top-tier running back.
Insight pageKenneth Walker III
PositiveValue27:34
Kenneth Walker is identified as a target for managers looking to trade away elite wide receivers to address running back depth.
Insight pageKyle Pitts
NegativeValue46:51
The source indicates a preference for Jake Ferguson over Kyle Pitts in dynasty formats.
Insight pageLadd McConkey
NegativeInjury41:12
Ladd McConkey is unlikely to play in Week 2, with his status currently below 50% despite some limited work on a side field.
Insight pageNegativeInjury41:36
Ladd McConkey was observed on a side field during Thursday's practice, which is typically reserved for injured players, raising concerns about his availability.
Insight pageLuther Burden
PositiveUsage49:43
The source leans toward starting Luther Burden over Jeremiah Love, noting that Burden operates closer to the line of scrimmage and offers a decent floor against a blitz-heavy defense.
Insight pageMack Hollins
PositiveRole20:41
Mac Hollins is identified as a strong floor play and potential team leader in targets for the Patriots in the absence of AJ Brown, with reports indicating he has been leading wide receivers in drills.
Insight pageMark Andrews
NegativeValue18:55
The source prefers Dalton Schultz over Mark Andrews for fantasy lineups, noting that while Schultz lacks explosive juice, he is perceived to have more upside than Andrews currently.
Insight pageMarShawn Lloyd
NegativeUsage15:32
The source expresses no interest in starting Marshawn Lloyd, noting that his usage in week one did not suggest he is anything more than an RB3/flex play, especially given he did not start the game.
Insight pageMarvin Harrison Jr.
NegativeRole44:36
Erickson expresses skepticism regarding Marvin Harrison Jr.'s immediate fantasy value, noting he is currently the fourth receiver on the Arizona Cardinals and faces a tough matchup against the Seahawks.
Insight pageMike Evans
PositiveProjection32:06
Erickson ranks Mike Evans as a WR1 (12th overall) for the week, noting the Dolphins' defense is historically poor, making Evans a must-start.
Insight pageQuentin Johnston
PositiveUsage39:06
With Ladd McConkey injured, Quentin Johnston is a must-start due to expected volume increases and a favorable matchup against the Raiders.
Insight pageNegativeBust45:50
The source expresses frustration with Quentin Johnston's performance, specifically mentioning a failed over-yards bet from the previous week.
Insight pageRome Odunze
PositiveUsage30:15
Rome Odunze is preferred over Isaiah Likely for a flex spot, though the source acknowledges the decision is close and emphasizes avoiding starting multiple tight ends if possible.
Insight pageTerry McLaurin
PositiveBreakout36:54
Despite a poor Week 1, Terry McLaurin is considered a prime bounce-back candidate because he is the clear WR1 on his team and has a history of big-play production.
Insight pageTre Harris
PositiveBreakout20:35
Trey Harris is highlighted as a high-ceiling play who could potentially run the routes vacated by Ladd McConkey, making him an intriguing option for fantasy managers.
Insight pagePositiveSleeper33:06
The source is highly infatuated with Trey Harris, noting he ran routes similar to Keenan Allen last year and saw seven targets in Week 1, making him a strong start over Dalton Schultz.
Insight pagePositiveBreakout45:26
The source highlights Trey Harris as a player they are obsessed with, noting that his box score would look significantly different if he had secured a long pass interference call in the previous week.
Insight pagePositiveUsage49:02
Erickson recommends dropping Denzel Boston to pick up Trey Harris as a streaming option for wide receiver depth.
Insight pageTutu Atwell
PositiveUsage45:00
The source recommends starting Tutu Atwell over Matthew Golden, noting that Atwell should see big runs if the opposing defense continues to miss tackles.
Insight pageZay Flowers
NegativeInjury41:12
Zay Flowers is unlikely to play in Week 2, with his status currently below 50%.
Insight pagePositiveValue47:26
Erickson advises holding Zay Flowers in dynasty leagues, arguing against trading him for De'Von Achane in a package deal.

0:04Grainger, for the ones who get it done. Here on Fantasy Pros, Andrew Erickson.
0:09It's a crowd going wild. Say something, Erickson, quick.
0:11Dude, what a grand intro. Thank you, man. That was awesome, dude.
0:15Dude, I'm ready to run through a wall right now.
0:18Never heard a better intro. I mean, there's that intro, number one.
0:22The Bulls intro, also sick. Chicago Bulls. It's actually sickest.
0:25Okay, maybe that's number one. You're number two, but still in the same tier.
0:29But then if you add in wrestling, though, because like, if you were to say what are the top five, the top
0:36ten entrances in sports and you add wrestling, nine of the ten have to be wrestling.
0:41Like, what would be the number? I'd have to say Stone Cold.
0:45Stone Cold's entrance of the glass shatter and go...
0:48Like, that's a good one. Someone in the chat just said The Rock where, if you smell...
0:53Do you have a top intro now? Were you even a wrestling guy?
0:57Well, not a huge wrestling guy. Because when I think intros, I think, because of playing baseball, going up to the plate,
1:04I was never high enough of a level of player where we had songs play.
1:09But I know that that happens as you get...
1:11You level up in terms of college games. The minor leagues have intro songs.
1:16And I always thought like, oh, what would my intro song be up to up to bat?
1:21Like, what would I go out to? And I never really think I came up with one.
1:26I know that... Didn't they play with the... When Mariana Rivera would come in to close out the game when they play...
1:33Greatest baseball one is Rivera. Yeah, like, that one is...
1:36Oh, sick. It was... They play Enter Sandman, right?
1:39Yeah, Enter Sandman. I would say, in sports, sports...
1:42So good. I don't want to use air quotes of saying real sports, but...
1:46Of that, like, Mariana Rivera's entrance is probably one...
1:49I'd say the Bulls in general. It's just so iconic at two.
1:53But then when you get into wrestling, it's like Stone Cold and The Rock.
1:57Undertaker's pretty great. I think you would vibe with the Shawn Michaels.
2:01They think he's cute. They know I'm sexy. I got the moves to drive the girls wide.
2:06I'm just a sexy boy. Sexy boy! I'm not your boy.
2:09All right. Those are my voices. We're going off the rails already.
2:13Love it, though. Love it, though. It's an audio-only podcast where we're here for the people, by the people, for and with the people.
2:20And if you guys want to be part of those people, you can join us over on the Fantasy Pros Discord at fantasypros.com slash chat.
2:28That'll get you into the Discord. And not only are there a bunch of just, like, great rooms, and you guys can
2:35talk ball, and people, you know, in the preseason were mock drafting.
2:39There's a great community, and there's, like, a hardcore community of people that just kind of live and breathe the Discord.
2:45But we've got some of these offerings that are AMAs that become podcasts.
2:49Worm and Fitz, you can catch on the first Tuesday of every month, 5 p.m.
2:54Eastern. Bogs and Fitz, the third Tuesday of every month, 5 p.m.
2:58Eastern. And then, of course, me and Erickson, 2 p.m.
3:01Eastern every single Thursday. Come and get your questions answered and be on the show.
3:05Fantasypros.com slash chat. Fantasypros.com slash chat. We've got an audience here.
3:09We've got hand-raised. When you do it, you get to be here about a day before.
3:14And you get to actually see the impressions, too, as I lost my voice doing the Shawn Michaels.
3:19Now I'm going to be curious, by the way, for everybody.
3:23Just got to put this at the top of the show.
3:26What is your favorite absolute entrances? If you've got some other great ones.
3:30Again, Triple H is on here. I see Rey Mysterio.
3:33Someone was obviously pointing out Erickson for The Undertaker.
3:36But feel free in the comments on the podcast, on Spotify, and wherever you listen, you can put down what are some
3:43of your favorite sports entrances, wrestling or non? I would love to know.
3:47Because we only really got to two great non-wrestling entrances, and that was the Bulls and then Mariano Rivera.
3:53There's not a good football this doesn't do. Well, Ray Lewis.
3:56Actually, Ray Lewis, when he would come out and be like, ugh, ugh.
4:00Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, that one was pretty fantastic.
4:03Fantastic. And I'm always, of course, my patriotism. Always a fan of Tom Brady running out of the tunnel doing the first down signal.
4:10I know everyone probably else hates that, but I thought it was cool.
4:15And it was terrible that when they built the Tom Brady statue, they didn't put him into that type of pose.
4:21And so they just have him standing up holding his helmet, and it's just bad.
4:26So that being said, intros before we get to the meat and potatoes of the show.
4:31Okay. Also, drop the best intros of movies because I know that this show was made famous by me not watching Face Off.
4:38The best intros of shows for me and movies, Dark Knight.
4:41Easy. Yeah. Easy number one intro to a movie.
4:44Just sets the table. Just, oh my God, buckle up.
4:47Now I got to think, that's probably a top five in movies of great intros.
4:52I'd throw out, if you love comedy, Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
4:55They have one of the best cold opens ever with the lineup where they start singing, You're on my, whatever, Backstreet Boys or NSYNC or whatever it is.
5:03That's probably one of the greatest cold opens of all time.
5:07Yeah, really good call on The Dark Knight. That's a really, really good one.
5:11It's, it's so, so when I worked at PFF and I was doing a lot of, obviously writing, Austin Gale, who's now with The Ringer.
5:19He was one of my managers. And I remember having one-on-one meetings with him, you know, going through certain things and talking about my intros, right?
5:27Just intros to your articles. A lot of the time they kind of get overlooked, but he was very vocal about Erickson.
5:34You need to make every intro you do like the freaking Dark Knight intro.
5:38And that just stuck with me. Through all of the writing that I've done, and it's always, I think about when I
5:45get fired up, whether it's one of my standalone weekly articles, if I really want to hit out of the park with
5:52an intro, I think about, okay, how do I turn this into the intro to The Dark Knight about fantasy football or about betting or whatever it is?
6:00And that has always stuck with me as like some high-level advice when it comes to writing intros is make it like The Dark Knight.
6:08Why so? It's very ironic, by the way, too, that one of the things, maybe this show is different, but one of
6:15the things on Fantasy Pros, the biggest complaints would be is if we don't talk about fantasy in the first 22 seconds, there will be someone that complains.
6:23So ironic in doing this that we have strayed away from that.
6:27It's my favorite thing to do. We are human beings and have personalities that can talk and have some fun, and then
6:34we can get to lots of things. So I love to do it, but I have definitely heard complaints whenever I go on tangents.
6:41So how ironic that we're doing your favorite intros where we are not doing sports in the first four or five minutes.
6:48But guess what? We get to do that here.
6:51It is kind of the – it's one of the more fun pieces I think Erickson and I both do because we don't have a script.
6:59We don't have anything planned, and we get to just kind of go off the rails, and we get to answer lots
7:06of fantasy questions, and we get to talk to you guys.
7:09So you guys know how to interact with us on here.
7:13Maybe some of these guys are going to drop some of their favorite intros, but more importantly, they're going to drop their
7:20fantasy questions, and that is what we are going to be doing, answering them, talking to you guys, maybe getting to the
7:26chat if we have time for it, not talking about Thursday night football, and having the best time ever with just a bunch of great friends.
7:34So let's do it. I think Cornwallis might be on a three-game streak here of being the first up in the chat.
7:41I know it's two straight. I don't know if it's three, but Cornwallis, what's up, man?
7:46Hello, what's up? I'm going to eat the chocolate on intros.
7:50I can say Chicago Bulls because I was a basketball fan in the 90s, and I lived in Chicago.
7:56Yeah, it's iconic. I mean, as soon as you hear it and the lights go down, you just start going.
8:02As far as questions go, I have a tight end question and then a flex question.
8:07So reshifting my tight end room, decided to go with an older PPR boring foreplay and then a breakout.
8:13So for the PPR guys like Hawkinson or Schultz, and then the breakout types, Terrence Ferguson or Bretton Strange.
8:18And then my last flex, I'm looking at Dowdle, Lloyd, Pravion Henderson or Trey Tucker.
8:23Okay, so hold on a second. So you gave us four tight ends.
8:27You want us to pick one or do we have to pick one from the boring and one from the...
8:33Yeah, one of each because I want to have like a safe floor guy and then while I'm waiting for the other one to maybe break out.
8:42And you're going to have to run us through again.
8:45The boring ones were Schultz and Hawkinson. I think it looks like Nico is training to not play.
8:50So I would have said Hawkinson. I am now going to say Schultz without Nico.
8:55Are you co-signing that, Erickson? Yes. Okay. And then Schultz and then Ferguson for me for the upside.
9:01What was the other upside guy? It was Ferguson and who?
9:04Bretton Strange. Yeah, we go with Ferguson as well.
9:07And then who are the flex options again? Marshawn Lloyd, Rico Dowdle, Pravion Henderson and Trey Tucker.
9:12Leaning Henderson just because I think that the Patriots are going to need some spark.
9:17Okay, great questions. And I think he was like fully in practice.
9:20I think he practiced here on Thursday. Yeah, he's right.
9:24Yeah, they said the latest report was he's full go.
9:27So Henderson has the most upside in my opinion.
9:29No hesitation with Marshawn Lloyd or anything like that?
9:32Like that you would want to maybe play him?
9:35No, I don't think anything I saw last week suggested me that we should be.
9:40He have a lot like that. He's anything more than RB3 flex play.
9:44I mean, he didn't even start the game. It's on the road.
9:47The Jets are a pass funnel defense. I think their defensive line is kind of underrated.
9:52Like they got some dudes up there, but their secondary is.
9:56Cheeks. Yeah. All right. By the way, just, you know, breaking it again.
10:00It's not breaking, but a grade one hamstring for Nico Collins did not practice on Thursday.
10:05Really, really bad sign from practicing, getting hurt in practice and then not practicing and a hamstring.
10:10Do not expect him to play this week. So we will probably revert to all answers being that he is not going to play.
10:18So that is an uptick for a guy like Dalton Schultz.
10:21Who is a wide receiver that you are grading up?
10:24Is it no, no, or is it booty? Is it booty?
10:27Okay. That's the number one. I mean, booty's probably, he'll be the highest ranked guy.
10:32It's just, we still don't know what the chemistry is with him and Stroud.
10:36So like hits projection with him. And if he gets DJ Turner, then that's like a really tough matchup for him as a wide receiver.
10:44Although he's beaten tougher cornerbacks before Derek Stingley specifically.
10:47No is like a dart throw probably type of play where he's clearly super talented and has a ton of juice, but they just don't play him.
10:55And it's super annoying. The answer I know is not Xavier Hutchinson.
10:59Like he is not the answer. He, if anything, like you're hoping that DJ Turner just covers him and he can just take away the Bengals best cornerback.
11:08So the other guys can try to be productive, but ultimately to Schultz goes down to this guy could see 10, 12 targets.
11:15Top 10 tight end this week? I think so.
11:18Just based on volume. It's annoying because you know that he's not this super explosive tight end and he's more of a
11:24catch and fall down type of guy. And he could easily put up like four for 40, but four for 40 and he scores.
11:32That's a top 12 week. Schultz or Mark Andrews?
11:35Schultz. Oh, yeah. Oh, all right. Yeah. I know your manager's guy.
11:38I mean, he doesn't have, he doesn't have juice, but I think he's got more juice than Mark Andrews does.
11:45Agreed. Agreed. All right. Salt. I brought you up here.
11:48What's up, Salt? So I'm heavily invested in Lad McConkie.
11:51So in two leagues, 14 team PPR, if I've got to replace him, Keenan Allen, Casey Concepcion, Mac Hollins, or Trey Harris.
11:58Oh, all the good options. And by the way, if you had another question there, Salt, re-raise your hand, I'll bring you back up.
12:05It continuously got better. That was McMahon meme for me.
12:08I was like, oh, oh, oh. Because I was like, Mac, first off, Erickson, you drop an update because we were looking
12:15at the, are they playing tool on Fantasy Pros?
12:18And there's, at least as we're recording, there's an update.
12:21But all three of those were really super interesting.
12:24So let's answer that. And then I see Salt raised.
12:27We'll bring Salt back up. But of those, I feel like, I don't even remember what the first one was, but the other three all have my attention.
12:35You, I think, might be interested in Mac. Trey Harris is super interesting to me if Ladd isn't out.
12:41But what, what say you on the play? I think Matt Collins is probably the guy that I would gravitate towards.
12:48The rumblings out of Patriots practices this week have, he's been leading the wide receivers in all the drills.
12:54So he may be deployed as the team's number one guy, as long as AJ Brown is out.
12:59I think that's, that's smart. I don't necessarily know, but clearly Romeo Dobbs is not an alpha or a number one wide receiver.
13:06We know that he's a complimentary piece. Did not have a great Wednesday night in week one.
13:12He'll bounce back in some capacity. But I think right now, when you look at who does Drake may trust in this offense, Matt Collins, right?
13:20I think Demario Douglas is going to see targets, but his volume or his upside is limited just because he underneath option,
13:27even last week, he had a bunch of volume and he had like no production really full PPR.
13:32Okay. Demario Douglas is interesting. So even against tougher corners, like Joey poor junior, if he plays Jamal Dean for the Steelers,
13:39Drake may's willing to sling it in to Matt Collins.
13:42And I, it's weird, but that one training camp that I went to that practice, Matt Collins wearing number 13 with the visor.
13:49He was giving me Mike Evans vibes. It was very, very weird and very, very bizarre, but like the guy had the swagger.
13:56He has the confidence. And I think that the team is confident that he's going to step up in the absence of AJ Brown.
14:04So I like Collins the most. I do like Trey Harris too, but I still kind of want to wait and see
14:11maybe one more week, but yeah, I'm kind of torn here.
14:14I'm down with the Mac one. I think Concepcion is like a really good floor type of play.
14:20I actually think Trey Harris might be a ceiling play because if I just like Quinn Johnson doesn't run lad routes and
14:26I think Trey Harris could run those lad routes and we know where Herbert was going.
14:31So like, I feel like my ceiling play would be Trey Harris, but salt, uh, what else did you want to add?
14:38Was there anything more on that? Also curious, I guess is the full PPR or half PPR?
14:44Yeah, they're both full PPR. It's just one of them's a 17 person chops league.
14:48So I think you got to go floor on that one, which is why I thought maybe Keenan Allen, but I don't
14:55know how many, uh, sets Pierce is going to run.
14:58Yeah. So, I mean, oh yeah. Keenan was the number one guy.
15:02I don't know. Like down downs ran a lot and just didn't get targets.
15:06And there was kind of some late safety targets for Keenan Allen.
15:10I actually don't, I think he's not the floor play.
15:13I think the floor play is conception or Mac Collins because Mac is going to get run.
15:18I mean, conception is scary being just because of Watson.
15:21So I would say the biggest safety play is probably Mac.
15:25Then I would go conception. And then if you really want safety, you could go, you could go Allen, but, uh, I'm super, super interested in Trey Harris.
15:33I think trace Harris has the highest upside. So if I was like, if I was like bottom half of the chop
15:40percentage, you know, some of the, what is it like sleeper that gives you the percentage to be chopped or whatever.
15:47If I was in the bottom half, I would go safety.
15:50If I'm on the top half, I'm still might go Trey Harris.
15:54So that's just where I sit with it. Anything else there salt?
15:58Yeah. Just one. If I were super anxious to get off of AJ Brown, do you like Ted Devonta or waddle better?
16:04I think I lean Ted, but I don't terrible sample size on waddle.
16:08Yeah. Terrible. What do you think, Erickson? That's a tough one for you.
16:12First getting, I would take Devonta or Ted either.
16:15Yeah. Cause we're, we both, we both have some shared concerns on waddle.
16:19Well, not just because like Bryant looked good, but just how the offense was.
16:24I think I would go with Ted a row as my number one and then Devonta and then Devonta Smith.
16:30But yeah. Cause I think McMillan Smith had fine games in week one.
16:34I get they were, they were, the thing is they were overshined by their teammates, but I don't think that's necessarily indicative.
16:41Okay. Every single week, doesn't he be wicks is going to be more productive than Devonta Smith.
16:46Every single week, Jalen Coker is going to outdo T-Mac.
16:49I don't think that's necessarily the case. Just it so happened.
16:52That's how things shook out in week one. And those managers feel like, Oh man, like these guys aren't good where they
16:59didn't put up a Jalen waddle level stinker. Like they both had like decent games.
17:04So if you could flip AJ Brown for either of those guys, especially just based on the injury and the fact that
17:11he's an older receiver, he's got to come back from the injury.
17:14I would do that. And I would do it now.
17:18Again, if you're going to trade AJ Brown, do it now.
17:21Don't wait. I think it's sick that you can get those options for AJ Brown right now.
17:26Those are not the options I would think we're talking about.
17:30If someone wants to eat three weeks of lost production from AJ Brown, I feel like you would be swimming in a
17:36much, Oh, it's, it's a keeper league. Oh, that does.
17:40I don't know if that changes much. Those guys are both younger than more now.
17:44Teddero, even more draft picks. Yeah. All right. Good question.
17:47Salt. Great stuff there. Uh, sir. Buckets sort of buckets in the house.
17:51Squish. This better be a good intro. You're waiting for us.
17:55Sir buckets. Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun,
18:02dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, That's also a great bit.
18:08That was in my head when we were thinking about it.
18:12All right. What's up, man? Uh, hello. Hello. Hey, sorry about that.
18:15All good. So I'm between, uh, Roma Doonsay, uh, and Isaiah Lakeley.
18:19Yeah. For a flex spot. Ooh. I usually don't ever sign off on starting more tight ends if I don't have to.
18:26That's usually my default, but he was the number one.
18:29Like likely. Mm-hmm. I do like likely. He's got a good matchup against the Rams shootout.
18:34I do like Romeo though as well. Are you going to say likely?
18:38I don't know why. I want to know who their other tight end is.
18:42I'm not sure if that actually matters. I'm like, well, who's their other tight end?
18:47Can we bench that? Obviously it's probably better tight end than likely or else that wouldn't be considering likely in the flex.
18:54Okay. No. Um, I mean, I'll just do Rome, man.
18:57It's fine. Okay. You were torn, man. Like, good Lord.
19:00I mean, sometimes, look, I think everyone expects us when we answer start sick questions that it's like lay up, lay up,
19:07lay up all of these basketball comparisons on this fantasy football podcast, which we absolutely love.
19:12Sometimes we really get torn and then we check our rankings and we literally have them back to back.
19:18And because the rankings, they have to be linear.
19:20Sometimes you don't feel that way and you're like, man, this really is a coin flip.
19:25But, uh, when in doubt, don't start more than one tight end if you don't have to.
19:31Yeah. I think that's a good, um, piece of advice.
19:34I've always been super, super pro. Like there are so many people out there that are just so definitive and it's like,
19:40there's no wiggle room for any information. I think that's where people get kind of lost sometimes in like the, I mean,
19:47I'll say it like the fantasy pros, the analysts, the touts, whatever is.
19:51I always see whenever people are complaining about people of us, I guess at work in the industry, they're like, Oh, everybody talks in such definitives.
19:59And I just want to be like, I don't like I'm, I'm, it is a continuing process every day, all the time going through it.
20:07And I welcome having debates and like, we'll do like player debates, do this all the time with you do it really, really well.
20:15Erickson. You're not someone. It's just like, you're so definitive in it.
20:18Like we'll talk about something. And then you're like, you know, that's actually a really good point.
20:24And then you'll dig deeper and then you might change your mind.
20:27Like talking through it is healthy. It's good. That's what we're doing.
20:31So I agree with you. I don't think either one of us ever walk in here with like, we know exactly what we're going to say.
20:39Like, no, like open to it. I see why you would ask the question about likely there's a fair question.
20:45He had a bunch of touchdowns. There's number one tied in.
20:49It's a totally fair question. I'd still go with the dunes day, but at night might not be right.
20:55And hopefully it is. And hopefully we don't have big L's on our heads and go two and three on the prop
21:01show while the other guy goes four and one and doesn't get a touchdown call.
21:06Yeah, but I don't have as high of a player rating as you do.
21:10So well, no big deal, but I do. Are you goat status?
21:14I am. I'm one spot off from goat status.
21:17So people don't know. So we have profiles if fantasy profiles now available.
21:21So like, but I mean like profile, like it is your history and we have player cards.
21:26So it's kind of like, you know, when you do your ultimate team and like Madden or something like that, and then
21:33you'll have like the players, you unlock a pack and you get a player card, you get your own player card and
21:40you can upgrade your player card as it goes on.
21:43And it connects and it, and it weights like championships records, how you do in waivers and all that type of stuff.
21:50We found out that I might be kind of elite with us as far as my record.
21:55When we synced all of our fantasy leagues in there, I'm not quite goat status, but I'm right there, Erickson.
22:01No big deal. And you guys can do it at fantasypros.com slash profile.
22:05I think fantasypros.com slash profile, go and sync and you guys can get your own profiles and your player cards and you can share them with us.
22:14I would love to see that. Yeah, I am 72 overall, which is equivalent to Geno Smith.
22:19So I got work to do. We were laughing so hard because also the color coding was green, like the jets.
22:25And we were laughing so hard when we saw that.
22:29But yeah, fantasypros.com slash profile. If you guys want to go check out yours and see what you've got and share it
22:35to the world and you can see, I do want to commend you.
22:39You were kind of goaded on waivers. You had a really good grade on how you attack waivers over your career.
22:46So it literally will be like how you draft waivers, trades, all lineups, all that stuff.
22:51You're kind of a G when it comes to waivers.
22:54So Kaelan Black this week. All right. By the way, Salt said Caitlin Clark's open.
22:59What is Caitlin Clark's open? I don't know if I know like individual basketball.
23:03I think like her coming out is going to people are going to like explode because she's speaking of the goat.
23:09Yeah, that's all it's saying. Just at any stadium when she comes out, she does.
23:14The crowd goes wild. Absolutely. Oh, look at Bunting.
23:17Bunting just 88 overall. Yeah. Look at that record.
23:20299 and 191. That's a what my record is not that good.
23:23And oh, my God, look at his lineup, dude.
23:2694 out of 100. That's that's actually sick. That's a sick card.
23:30But he's an 88 overall. So you're not quite Welsh level, but you're getting there.
23:35So keep it up, Bunting. Keep it up. That's actually really sick.
23:38And then Monday Night Messiah said mine was an 85.
23:41So, yeah, if you haven't done it, go and sync it up.
23:45Fantasypros.com slash profile and let us know what it is.
23:48Bunting shared his player card. That's pretty sick. Pretty cool idea who came up with that player card, too.
23:54Huh, Erickson? I wonder. Probably someone in the dev team.
23:57Maybe the same guy that comes up with all these great intros for me.
24:02I don't know. Maybe. But probably some really smart dev person that only came up with that player card and not some
24:08lowly on-air host that talks for six minutes before they get to fantasy, right?
24:13That would be cool. All right. Let's talk to some more people.
24:16Actually, you know what? Before we do, so I don't get tracked, so I can be a good host because I can't
24:23make my living off of coming up with ideas.
24:26But I can talk to you guys about Polymarket.

27:09What up, dude? Hey, what's up, guys? What up?
27:12Not much. I put my team in the chat room.
27:15It's in images. So I'm looking for, it's a trade question.
27:18I'm, I'm, my RBs are crap. I, it's basically Marshawn Lloyd, DeCory, Cross and Merritt.
27:23It's also, I believe. Yeah, so you got out here, Brooks, Coleman, Emmitt Johnson.
27:27And Charbonnet on the IR. Yeah, it's pretty rough.
27:30Yeah, so the other team, one, has Derrick Henry, Scatterbull and Price.
27:34AJ Brown went down on him. And the other team, two, has Walker, Swift and Henderson.
27:39Do you think I should trade one of my top wide receivers for any of those guys?
27:44And if so, what package do you think I should do?
27:47Yeah. So here's what's tough, Erickson. Get your take on this.
27:51I don't think the, like, his three wide receivers he's got is Lamb Jefferson and then he has neighbors.
27:57And then when you go and look at the bench, it's like Boston and Addison.
28:01Like, that doesn't really do much. So, like, I think he can only swim in the deep waters here.
28:07Like, you got to, neighbors, Lamb, Jefferson, and you got to swim for Derrick Henry or one of the top guys.
28:14I just don't think you can trade. It doesn't make sense to trade down and trade because, like, there was a secondary running back.
28:21There's a lot of names in there I'm forgetting.
28:24But, like, what do you think? Would you trade, let's just arguably say, a C.D.
28:29Lamb to get a Ken Walker or Derrick Henry?
28:32Would you make that move? Because I don't think he has the assets to make, like, a package move of trading, like,
28:38two or three guys to get a cool running back.
28:41No, you trade your best receiver to get the best running back in return.
28:46And this is one of these scenarios where you're not trying to figure out, do I trade Jefferson because I like him
28:53less rest of the season than Lamb? It's which receiver that I have gets me the best running back.
28:58That's because your goal here is you need to improve the running back room.
29:03And you can't get too caught up in, well, I don't want to trade away Jefferson.
29:08Should I trade away Lamb instead because he was worse in week one?
29:12That doesn't matter. However, I think you just got to focus on getting the best running back and whichever receiver that takes,
29:19whether it's Lamb or Jefferson, that's who you should move.
29:22Yeah, and I would say I don't want to move Jefferson, but I think it's a really good sound advice from Erickson.
29:29It's like put the three out there. And now I do think you could go and you could go to, like, let's
29:35say the Derrick Henry owner and say, I'll give you Lamb or neighbors and then see what they do.
29:41Ken Walker, maybe you do the same thing. And then you sometimes what you do.
29:46I've always been a very big proponent of this in trades.
29:49If you have come to terms with this beforehand and you've told yourself that.
29:54You would trade any of them. Giving somebody else the power or the theoretical feeling of power is such an advanced move
30:00for you in a fantasy trade where you can go, hey, I'll give you this.
30:05Which of these guys do you like? And then all of a sudden it goes away from someone negating a trade to
30:12being like, well, I like this guy. It's like, OK, if that's what you want, like you've given if you ever I
30:19don't know, like in the business world, I've worked some jobs before.
30:23Not this current one, of course, but were some jobs where I worked with people that you had to make it seem like the idea was their idea.
30:31Some people could probably relate with that. The same thing in the trade market can work where you can, A, give them the option.
30:39Which of these guys would you move? And then if they go, well, neither.
30:43I actually want Jefferson. You go, you drive a hard bargain, but OK, I'll do it because you've already prepared yourself.
30:49So giving someone else the perceived power sometimes is actually a power move for you if you've come to terms with it all.
30:57By the way, in the chat, there's still no one as high as me, Erickson, but our boy Alex dropped.
31:03He's got a 92 overall legend status on Fantasy Pros, fantasypros.com slash profile.
31:07That's actually pretty sick. And he's got the red card here.
31:10A couple championships. Kind of looks like a little bit new to fantasy, but holy crap, a 92 overall on waivers.
31:17That's actually the that's better than you. That's the best waivers I've seen rating.
31:21So shout out to Alex here. But still not quite my card.
31:25No big deal. Dortchard. What's up, Dortchard? What you got for us?
31:29Dortchard, come on down. Hey, guys. Can you hear me?
31:32Yeah, we got you good, man. All right. Thanks a lot.
31:35My first time here. Love the banter. It was super fun.
31:38Thanks, man. Let's see the classic question. I got I'm half PPR.
31:42Just want to know who you guys recommend. Let's see.
31:45I put it in the chat here. Who all I've got.
31:49I got Evans, who I'm currently starting. Then I got on the bench.
31:53I got JCM or JCM Diggs, Odunz and Debo Samuel.
31:56OK, so you want to know should any of those guys go in over Evans?
32:00Yeah. OK, cool. Good question. That's an easy answer for me.
32:04But Erickson. Start Mike Evans. Where do you have Evans this week?
32:08Ahead of Christian Watson, which is like 10, I think, on fantasy pros.
32:12He's here. I have Evans at 12. So I'm as an as a wide receiver one this week.
32:17Historically bad. I think I saw a stat. Someone was putting out like this might actually be one of the worst defenses like ever for the Dolphins.
32:26Like we're going to have to. I have Mike Evans at 11.
32:29Damn it. One spot higher than me. Can I get him to 12?
32:33I might. Well, Evans would be the very easy.
32:36Good question. Good options to have, by the way.
32:39But go with Mikey Evies. All right. This is later, dude.
32:42All right. If Nico and Lad don't play for my flex spot TPR, should I play Schultz, Caleb Douglas or Trey Harris?
32:49Schultz, Caleb Douglas or Trey Harris. And you only if they both don't play, you're only going to have one spot open or two?
32:57No, just one spot open. Okay. What did you say, Erickson?
33:00Schultz. Caleb Douglas and Trey. I got to tell you, I'm getting infatuated with Trey Harris this week.
33:06I think Schultz is your safety net and Erickson is definitely a smarter, more handsome person than I am.
33:11So that is a good lean, but I can't get over Trey Harris.
33:15So if Lad is out, I think I'm going to go Trey Harris.
33:20I'm probably going to put Trey Harris is like top 36.
33:23If Lad is out, like in that range, like Quinn Johnson is like a top 30 guy, but I'm just not so
33:30I, again, I think Trey is going to run some of the ladder routes than before.
33:35I think Quinn Johnson is maybe I'm wrong. Who's the other guy?
33:38I don't think that's maybe that's the answer. I don't think that's.
33:42I don't think that's wrong when you look back and I remember when I watched all Trey Harris's routes last year, he
33:49was running a lot of like Keenan Allen routes.
33:52It was kind of weird because I think everyone just kind of assumes he's this vertical X receiver.
33:57And I think that when these three guys are healthy, that's the role that he should be in or will be in.
34:04But no, man, like maybe I should move Trey Harris.
34:07I guess like, I mean, he did see like seven targets last week, too.
34:12So maybe I need to be more up into it.
34:15And also, like I like Trey Harris a lot.
34:17Like he's the one sleeper I have left that's still standing.
34:21You're a guy, by the way. Like, how am I talking?
34:24Trey guys. Andrew Erickson was talking about Trey Harris before Trey Harris's mother was talking about Trey Harris.
34:30He's out here spreading the good word of Trey Harris this year while Debro is talking about Quinn Johnson.
34:36This is your moment, dude. Fly bird. Fly free.
34:39Oh, yeah. OK. Trey Harris over Dalton Schultz. Hell yeah.
34:42Hell yeah, brother. By the way, one of my favorite things, if you do hang in here because Erickson hates this, but
34:48it's just part of just my personality and brand.
34:51But my self-deprecation, I actually love it's why I love Erickson so much, too.
34:56Like the annoyance on his face when I go self-deprecating.
34:59I love it. I love it because you love me in some capacity.
35:03And I appreciate you. You don't want you don't want me to bring the words down.
35:08Large capacity. You know what's really funny? This is another little side anecdotal thing.
35:12We do our fantasy pros trips like Erickson and I the first like couple years.
35:17We do like occasional shows and whatever, but we go on our big fantasy pros trip like me and Erickson are together the whole time.
35:24And it's just like it's just how we roll like and it's not even me totally playing a father role because I am so much older than you.
35:33But we are like we like hang out the entire time.
35:37We have the best time and we had a great time in New Orleans this year because Erickson is the best time to hang out with.
35:45You want to hang out with Erickson when you can.
35:48So if you see him in public, buy that man a beer, give him a hug and tell him I love you.
35:55All right, Steve-O. I don't know this Steve-O. Don't do anything to yourself, but burn yourself or anything.
36:00Steve-O, come down, please. Come down from that giant sign with the Orcas.
36:04All right. Oh, there we go. There we go.
36:07Sweet. What's up, dude? Hey, guys. So I'm currently in a 10 man full PPR league.
36:12I have a running back heavy roster, but one of my receivers that I was relying on was Nico Collins.
36:18So I went and looked at the market in my league of what's available.
36:22And the two that I'm able to grab is Terry McLaurin or Debo Samuel right now that I'm looking at.
36:29What do you mean to grab? To like to trade for?
36:32They're in free agency right now. Oh, sorry. Oh yeah.
36:35Terry, man. Yeah. Look at Terry. So, so I'm an Eagles fan.
36:39So I saw that game with Terry. I'm just concerned.
36:42Like, I know that the Cowboys secondary has been very bad the past two, well, last year and this past week, but that's why.
36:49So you guys still think Terry McLaurin though? Brother, this is the Terry McLaurin experience.
36:54The Terry McLaurin experience is like a bad game.
36:57And then he has a 50 yarder. He's going to ball out.
37:01He's the number one on that team. As an Eagles fan, you know that he always plays terrible against your team.
37:07Yeah. He never does anything against the Eagles. Yeah, he's really good, by the way.
37:12Yeah. So I, again, you should know that he is primed for a bounce back spot after putting up a nothing burger
37:19in week one when Quinnia Mitchell is shadowing him all over the field.
37:23Dude, how many seconds did, how many seconds did Jaden Daniels have, Steve-O, to throw each ball?
37:28Not many. Not many. Not many seconds. Yeah. Yeah.
37:31Dude, that's actually a really great spot. No, I'll bet you nobody in this chat.
37:35And I'll bet you less than 10% of the people are listening that lose Nico Collins can go pick up Terry McLaurin.
37:42Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, that's like a really great spot to be in.
37:47Now it could fail. Like, I remember last week, dumbest thing I said all week, and it's a hindsight thing was in the live stream on Sunday morning.
37:56Someone astutely was like, Hey, what do you think about Caleb Douglas over Drake London?
38:00And like, I'm like, no way. Like, I'm still starting Drake London.
38:04I didn't think Cooper Rush would be that. Hindsight obviously tells a great story of what Caleb Douglas does, but it takes
38:11a lot of cojones to be able to make a move away from like a really stud player to some theoretical stuff.
38:18Terry McLaurin's not theoretical. Like, this is great. Now we might be wrong.
38:22The process might be wrong or whatever, but like, go with the studs, dude.
38:26That's like a great option. No one's going to have that option.
38:30It's a great question, Steve. It's actually a fun kind of conversation too.
38:34And I get the logic of it, but I don't know.
38:37To me, this has always been the Terry. This is why I'm not super like a Terry McLaurin guy.
38:43Cause this is the experience of like, there's a crappy one.
38:47And then all of a sudden, you know what it was?
38:50He'd lead the league in 50 plus yard touchdowns.
38:53Like that's what he does. That's where he goes, man.
38:56I remember who the other guy he said was an option either, but it's not Terry McLaurin.
39:01All right. Ronan, Ronan, premium member fantasy pros discord.
39:04What up? Hey gentlemen. How you doing? We're doing good, dude.
39:07How are you doing? Oh, doing well. Basic flex question.
39:10I got two flex spots open. And, uh, wondering if Krosky, Merritt, Waddles, Quentin Johnson or Blake Quorum should fill those spots.
39:17Do it one more time for me. Bill Waddle.
39:20Yep. Johnston, Quentin Johnston and Blake Quorum. Okay. So this is Waddle or Johnston and I need two spots.
39:26Or did you say two? Well, then those are the ones for me.
39:30I said two. The receivers. I would say Johnston for sure.
39:33If you got, you got to play Johnston. If you don't have John, if you have Johnston, you don't play him with Ladd out.
39:41They shouldn't have drafted him. Yeah. Right. It's like, it's like, you got to take a, you got to take a shot here.
39:48And because again, even though he's not going to replace Ladd's routes specifically, volume should open up in his favor.
39:54It's favorable match against the Raiders. I think you got to start QJ.
39:58I think Waddle versus Quorum is more subject to debate.
40:01I think Quorum's floor is way higher because I think that he's guaranteed 12 touches or so.
40:07And we know he's explosive. It's the Giants. They're playing them at home.
40:11I like that. And then Waddle is boom or bust, which is not very different.
40:15I think the fact that he was so bad and he didn't get involved at all, squeaky wheel a little bit.
40:22So I think I do lean a little bit towards Waddle with the ceiling outcome.
40:26But if I needed more of a four, okay, I guess too, you can put this context because the Broncos play later
40:33in the day, you can see your matchup a little bit.
40:37And look at, okay, do I need to swing for the fences?
40:40Let's go with Waddle. If I'm like, oh, I'm already like steamrolling this guy.
40:45I just got to bank some points. Let's just roll with Quorum.
40:48And then if Waddle goes off on my bench, don't care because I know I have on my roster rest of season.
40:55And I know that this is going to work out, but I, again, I don't, if you have a big lead, don't
41:02take the risk of Waddle just busting it, assuming that, Hey, like this often still is a much work in progress with Davis web calling plays.
41:10That's a really good point. Did you earlier, we were talking about it.
41:14Did you give us the percentages on the, will they start tool on both Lad and Zay Flowers?
41:20Cause I know you, you did it pre-show and I think I brought it up, but then I think we'd like squirrel,
41:27you know, we went in another direction, but the percentages, at least on the, are they playing?
41:32It's doesn't look good right now. No, it's below 50% for both of them.
41:36So yeah. Lad was on a side field on Thursday, which might be a little bit better.
41:41Um, but a lot of wide receivers going to be down.
41:45I love when they have these side field things just like adjacent to the regular practice field because like, well, this is
41:52the field where all the guys that are injured go.
41:55Yeah. Get over it. Get out of here. Risk band is going to be up next, but talking on some traits here.

42:40All right. Risk band premium member on the discord.
42:43What's up risk band? Hi guys. Can you hear me?
42:46Yeah, we got you. Yes. Yeah. Nice talking to you.
42:49Uh, well, two, two quick, quick, quick questions. I have on waivers Goddard and, um, I was trying to swap him for Marvin Harrison.
42:57I don't know if you, you would suggest that, that switch or, uh, should I keep a Harrison stash to see if it happens before Erickson?
43:05Cause he's already doing head movement, but what is your tight end?
43:09Oh, it's my bride. Does it change anything for your Erickson whatsoever?
43:12No. Okay. I mean, I'm thinking maybe having something right or using for trade, uh, stock.
43:17Maybe I could get something having Goddard offering Goddard.
43:20Yeah. I think that's smart. Get two good tight ends and then you can trade one.
43:25What is your going to get more? Last thing.
43:28What's your wide receiver room look like? Like how, like who are your other wide outs?
43:33My wide receivers are it's chase. Pretty good. And the other one.
43:36The other guy. Yeah. It doesn't matter. Okay. You're right.
43:40It probably doesn't matter. It's just a little relative to my point of like, is my.
43:44I'm going to Wilson. Gary Wilson. My other. Okay.
43:47That's a pretty good. Do you have any other bench?
43:50Could you know what your other bench guys are?
43:53Do you have the team out? Yeah. Yeah. Here, here.
43:56Uh, well, in a wide receiver, how I got weeks and golden.
44:00Okay. So follow me here. I know. Cause I want you to, Erickson's going to have the best advice on this, but
44:07as much as I love to hate on Marvin Harrison, one of my favorite pastimes definitely is is the wide receiver room.
44:14There doesn't feel super, super great. And maybe it takes a little bit longer for Harrison to go.
44:19God, it's a really great flex option, but it's not a need.
44:23I think you can make this move. I think based on my roster construction, I don't think I'm making it quite yet,
44:30but Erickson, you seem a little bit more convicted and I appreciate that you think Marvin Harrison is trash.
44:36So talk us through this. I don't, I don't think he's trash, but he's the fourth receiver on the Arizona Cardinals and they're facing the Seahawks this week.
44:44Like, I, I just, it's yeah. So he's going to look great next year when he's on the jets with Archie Manning.
44:51Okay. It's going to be awesome. It's going to be absolutely fantastic.
44:55Yeah. Go ahead. At flex, at the same team, should I go with Tootin or Golden at PPR?
45:00Tootin or Golden. Was he up in a draft, by the way?
45:04That's not like he was drafting. I would go Tootin.
45:07I'm going Tootin. His defense, if they're going to keep missing tackles, then Tootin should have some big runs.
45:13I got to admit though, I have three wide receivers that are just stuck in my brain and I'm obsessed with, and
45:20I feel like I'm going to, it's going to spill over into the prop show and it's Matthew Golden.
45:26It's Pat Bryant and, uh, and Trey Harris. Like I'm, I have like, I'm a little upset.
45:31I could squad rise from Trey Harris receiving here and some alts.
45:35Yeah. He had a long, he had a long pass interference call last week.
45:39If he catches that, the box score of the conversation looks totally different.
45:43But how, that's right. Harris to your point. But dude, how sick am I going to be if last week I bet
45:50Quentin Johnson's over yards and then he fails me and then I go Trey Harris, another one.
45:55And then Quentin Johnson does it. It's going to be a slap in the face, but yeah.
46:01You're putting Quentin Johnson back on the car this week.
46:04No, I had to look at the, you can't run away, man.
46:07You got to double down. Depends. We'll have to look.
46:10I haven't, I'm going to dig in after this.
46:13I got a million shows today. That's what I got to do next.
46:17All right. Let's go lightning around here so we can get the rest of these good questions there.
46:23I think we did this last week. Mox, right?
46:26Mox. Mox. Mox. Damn it. Damn it. I had it.
46:29I got two quick dynasty trade questions. This one you're going to love and I probably know where you're going.
46:35But I do already have Trey Harris, Pat Bryant, but I have likely another guy really, really wants likely.
46:41He said he would give me a second and golden for likely or BTJ for likely or hold likely.
46:47I also have fan. Yeah. Fan. Fan. Well, I like likely over fan.
46:51And that second golden is pretty sexy in a dynasty trade.
46:54That's, I think, where I'm going. I think I'd rather BTJ, honestly.
46:58Straight up. No pick. Yeah. BTJ is not going to be on the Jaguars.
47:02I don't think he's going to be on the Jaguars in the long term.
47:07Him and Marvin going to be with the Jets next year?
47:10BTJ? No, he's going to be on the Commanders with Jane Daniels and Declan Doyle as the new head coach.
47:16We're just like manifesting this brand new Commanders offense in 2027.
47:20This is like Madden. You're just like putting all these new players on.
47:24What was the other question? Other one real fast.
47:26So I have Zay as my wide receiver three.
47:29Corum as my RB four. And this guy, he's asking Zay, Corum, and presumably late second for A-chan, Debon.
47:35Who would be my running back two? And Kincaid, who would be my tight end one?
47:40What do you think? I feel like that's, that almost, I mean, it's essentially flowers for A-chan there.
47:46Because it's a lot to give up on flowers.
47:48But Corum is something there. What would you do on that dynasty there, Erickson?
47:53I want Zay. Dynasty. You want to keep? I want to hold.
47:57I want to keep him. All right. So I want to hold.
48:00Hold, hold, hold, Nick. Nick Laria. What's up, Nick?
48:03Hey, guys. Appreciate you as always. I put my more complicated question in the chat.
48:08Basically, lost A.J. Brown. Maybe lost Ladd also. So trying to figure out what to do with my wide receiver two and flex.
48:15I got the Browns rookies on there. Figured KC might get some touches.
48:19But the Dolphins guys on waivers or Trey Harris, you know, if Ladd's out.
48:23A couple of just like potential streaming options. Curious where you'd go there.
48:27And then question number two is basically. Let's stop there for a second.
48:31Is this like these waiver? I got to understand.
48:34Free agency. Yeah. But like, do you have to cut somebody on your team?
48:38Or is it because you have a billion guys on IR, you can just freely pick them up?
48:44I would have to drop like Jonah Coleman or like Denzel Boston or something.
48:48Yeah. Well, that's not nothing. So then real quick, let's do that.
48:52Because obviously, like I'm getting I'm digging myself a Trey Harris hole here.
48:56So I need to maybe get out of it.
48:59But Erickson, what do you think? Caleb Douglas or Trey Harris?
49:02Would you drop Jonah Coleman or Boston to pick up either one of them?
49:07I would drop Denzel Boston. For who? Trey Harris.
49:09Okay. That's helpful. Okay. Thank you. The other quick question.
49:12I have Colson Loveland at tight end in another half PPR league would either be starting Luther Burden along with him, which didn't work out last week.
49:21But what can you do? Or Jeremiah Love against a very tough Seattle defense.
49:25So it's Loveland or? So Burden or Love. Oh, Burden or Love.
49:29Okay. I think. I think I would go with.
49:32Did he say if it's full PPR? No, it doesn't really make a difference.
49:36Do you have a lean? I'm pretty torn. Do you have a strong lean?
49:40I mean, I gotta be honest with you. Probably Burden.
49:43I hate. I don't like I'm against the Bears a little bit this week because I think it's a tough matchup.
49:50But also like Jeremiah Love's going up against the Seahawks.
49:53That's not great. Yeah, I guess like I'm trying to think with Burden because Burden had like a decent game last week.
50:00Like it wasn't like he was totally zero. And if you're thinking about, okay.
50:04Brian Flores is going to throw a bazillion blitzes at Caleb Williams.
50:08Luther Burden probably operating closer to line of scrimmage.
50:11If they don't have the big flash, he plays downfield.
50:14You could see Burden with a decent floor. So I think I also lean Burden as well.
50:19Okay. All right. Last three lightning round here. Alex, premium member on the Discord.
50:23What do you got, Alex? Got to unmute. I see the mute button, but I can't unmute you for you.
50:30Three, two, one. Alex, if you can figure that out, raise your hand and we will get you up.
50:36STL. What's up, STL? Hey, what's up, guys? Real quick.
50:39Lineup advice for this week. I'm in a 12-man standard scoring league, so no PPR.
50:43Start two out of Amika Ibuka, Aaron Jones, Alec Pierce, and Roma Dunze.
50:47And then the follow-up question for that would be, would you be actively trying to trade Ibuka, presumably, for maybe like a buy low?
50:55And like another guy in the league has Drake London and A.J.
50:58Brown, and he's panicking. So would you trade Ibuka for either one of those guys?
51:03That's a bad question to ask me. I'm Ibuka and Aaron Jones on the play.
51:08I think Ibuka is going to eat. I've said this stat a whole bunch, but he was either one or two in most movement pre-snap.
51:16And the Browns got torched in the slot. I don't know if Godwin will play there, but so will Amika Ibuka.
51:22So I don't know. I just love Amika. I'm not trading him for A.J.
51:26Brown. Maybe I could do it for London if I wanted to do that, but I think he's not that far off.
51:33So I'm starting Ibuka and Jones. And then, I don't know.
51:37The London one has me thinking, but not the A.J.
51:40Brown one. What do you think, Erickson? I think right now I just want to keep Ibuka, right?
51:45I don't think that—because, again, you could make this trade next week too, right?
51:50Based on—and I think Ibuka's probably in for another bigger performance.
51:53Last week, I thought that he was fine. Again, Baker didn't throw any touchdowns, four turnovers.
51:58So a relatively okay game for Ibuka, but still a target leader.
52:02Godwin didn't take as much of a role in terms of the targets as maybe I thought for at least week one.
52:09And Ibuka was dealing with this toe thing, right?
52:11So I thought that he looked fine. And I think that you could just revisit—I think next week they're going to have
52:18to give you more to get Agneka Ibuka. So you could do Drake London plus something if you really want to go
52:25after and buy low on one of these receivers.
52:28I like that. Very good advice. All right, last one.
52:31Louie. Louie, Louie. Louie, Louie. What up? Louie, quick question.
52:34So I need a stash of wide receiver last spot on my bench.
52:38It's a full PPR. Khalif Raymond or Antonio Williams?
52:41Stash, he said? Stash. Yeah, this is a stash.
52:44Antonio Williams. Antonio Williams, 100%. Do you see those separation scores too?
52:47You're just like, hello, Antonio Williams. I mean, I like him a lot.
52:51I actually have him in the 16-team dynasty. I draft—we even draft, like, college guys.
52:56I've owned him since last year or rostered him since last year.
53:00And I'm an Antonio Williams guy, and I thought he would have been—he was such a target for me before Stefan Diggs signed.
53:07But I think he's the best sign or stash.
53:10Yeah. I think, too, the fact that he was able to lead the team in receiving yards in his first game as
53:16a rookie, again, it was the Eagles matchup in that, obviously, he wasn't going up against Quinion Mitchell, but still Cooper Dejean.
53:23He matched up with him a couple times. Like, he was creating separation.
53:27I liked him a lot coming out of Clemson.
53:30He did do this a lot of Clemson, though, where he started out really hot and then really fizzled out as the season progressed.
53:38Hopefully that's not a sign of things to come, but Harry's older.
53:41Diggs is older. Those guys missed time. Williams is at least showing, hey, proof of concept.
53:46Hey, I can step up when called upon, and he did so in week one.
53:51All right, Alex, give it another shot. You're still muted, though.
53:54Going one. He said he's like, I hope it works, too.
53:58Oh, man. Got to hit the unmute button. Maybe.
54:00Possibly. No, extra point's not good. The extra point is over.
54:04But, you know what? Here's a cool thing, especially for someone like Alex, is Erickson and I always stick around for a
54:11couple minutes after this is done to answer any of those Thursday night questions people have held.
54:16And, you know, in a situation like this, if Alex gets it figured out, didn't make the podcast, but we're still here

55:12I got little baby shoes to fill. I got nothing to – only going up.
55:16I mean, I could have been worse for sure.
55:19But Erickson absolutely killed it. So hopefully you can see Erickson gets mad.
