Insight pageNegativeUsage33:46

Insight pageColston Loveland
PositiveValue3:52
The source identifies Colston Loveland as a top buy-low candidate after Week 1. Despite low production, he led Bears skill players in routes run and played all snaps. He is expected to serve as a safety blanket for Caleb Williams against the blitz-heavy Vikings defense.
Insight pagePositiveValue41:47
The source explicitly likes buying Colston Loveland in fantasy trades.
Insight pageD.J. Moore
NegativeValue3:37
The source advises against trading away DJ Moore, noting that he performed well in a difficult matchup against the Bills in Week 1.
Insight pageDallas Goedert
NegativeValue42:31
The source suggests that trading away Dallas Goedert for Mike Gesicki is a loss in tight end value, even if it helps at running back.
Insight pageDalton Kincaid
PositiveValue8:29
The source recommends targeting Dalton Kincaid or Sam LaPorta to solidify the tight end position, noting they have higher touchdown equity than Jalen Coker.
Insight pagePositiveUsage45:17
The source prefers Dalton Kincaid over Sam LaPorta for the rest of the season, citing a cleaner path to targets and a full-time role in the Bills' offense.
Insight pageDavid Montgomery
NegativeUsage42:31
The source suggests trading David Montgomery for De'Von Achane is an upgrade, noting that Montgomery's value is currently high.
Insight pageDe'Von Achane
PositiveValue42:31
The source views De'Von Achane as an upgrade over David Montgomery in trade scenarios.
Insight pageNegativeUsage57:46
The source expresses concern about De'Von Achane's committee usage and suggests he is a sell candidate if packaged correctly.
Insight pageDeebo Samuel
PositiveRole47:32
With Dejan Stribling out for 10 weeks, the source notes Deebo Samuel's value is on the rise.
Insight pageDeVonta Smith
NegativeValue41:47
The source is not worried about DeVonta Smith despite early season concerns and suggests he is a fine trade target or hold.
Insight pageDrake London
PositiveValue42:26
Drake London is labeled a 'screaming buy low' because his current quarterback situation is poor, but he possesses an amazing ceiling once Michael Penix Jr. eventually takes over.
Insight pageGarrett Wilson
PositiveProjection28:40
The source projects Garrett Wilson to perform very well over the next three weeks against NFC North defenses and notes he is the clear target leader for his team.
Insight pageJa'Marr Chase
PositiveValue50:26
The source advises against trading Ja'Marr Chase after a poor Week 1 performance, noting he historically starts slow and remains the best player in most trade packages.
Insight pageJahmyr Gibbs
PositiveProjection62:04
The source advises against trading Jahmyr Gibbs, labeling him a player who is scoring every week and capable of having a 'special season' in a 10-man league format.
Insight pageJames Cook
PositiveValue59:26
The source suggests trading for James Cook if possible, noting he had a tough Week 1 matchup but has a favorable upcoming schedule.
Insight pageJaylen Waddle
NegativeProjection13:40
The source expresses concern regarding Jaylen Waddle following a Week 1 performance with no targets and a poor team showing, assigning a high panic meter rating.
Insight pageNegativeValue56:11
The source expresses concern about Jaylen Waddle but advises against panicking or selling low, suggesting he needs more time to evaluate.
Insight pageJordan Mason
NegativeInjury0:18
Jordan Mason has been placed on IR with a thumb injury and will be out for at least four weeks.
Insight pageJosh Jacobs
NegativeValue36:47
The source advises against dropping startable players like Jalen Warren or Jonathan Brooks to pick up Josh Jacobs, but notes that if Jacobs is available on the waiver wire, he is worth a stash while waiting for legal clarity on his potential suspension.
Insight pageJustin Herbert
NegativeValue47:51
The source suggests dropping Justin Herbert for Brock Purdy if Purdy is available on waivers.
Insight pageKenneth Walker III
PositiveValue48:53
The source is very high on Kenneth Walker and expresses reluctance to trade him, even for high-end assets like Justin Jefferson.
Insight pagePositiveProjection64:01
The source notes that Kenneth Walker is also expected to have a 'special season,' which makes a trade involving him and Nico Collins for Jahmyr Gibbs a difficult but potentially necessary move for a roster struggling with injuries.
Insight pageKyren Williams
PositiveUsage48:51
The source prefers Kyren Williams over Blake Corum in dynasty formats because Williams dominates snaps and red zone usage, and he has already secured a second contract, providing more stability than a day-three pick.
Insight pageMalik Nabers
PositiveValue55:35
The source views Malik Nabers as a superior long-term dynasty asset compared to Brock Bowers, noting that Nabers has proven to be the healthier player after the first week of the season.
Insight pageNico Collins
PositiveProjection40:03
Nico Collins is described as an alpha receiver who looked great against the Buffalo Bills; underlying metrics, including deep ball success and adjusted completion percentage, suggest he is trending in a positive direction.
Insight pageParker Washington
PositiveBreakout52:21
The source identifies Parker Washington as a 'buzzy' breakout player who can fetch a strong return in trades right now.
Insight pageQuentin Johnston
NegativeValue44:20
The source advises holding Quentin Johnston due to the injury context, despite the team's poor performance.
Insight pageSam LaPorta
PositiveValue12:16
The source views Sam LaPorta as a reliable weekly TE1 for the rest of the season, regardless of other roster factors.
Insight pageNegativeUsage45:17
The source suggests trading Sam LaPorta if you have both him and Dalton Kincaid, as Kincaid's target path is currently viewed as more reliable.
Insight pageTerry McLaurin
PositiveValue53:45
Terry McLaurin is recommended as a buy-low target, with the source noting he has already shown chemistry with Jayden Daniels and has a favorable upcoming matchup against Dallas.
Insight pageTrevor Lawrence
PositiveMatchup27:33
Trevor Lawrence is the preferred start over a Stafford/Puka stack for Week 2, citing his historical success against the Denver defense.
Insight pageZay Flowers
PositiveValue40:31
The source maintains a preference for Zay Flowers over Ladd McConkey, noting that Flowers was a 'flag plant' player who looked explosive before his injury.

0:04Grainger, for the ones who get it done. Thank you for hanging out with us.
0:09Thank you to everybody that's listening. There are trades to be had because season is rolling along.
0:14We've even got latest news, Erickson. I don't know if you saw this.
0:18Within about five minutes before we started up this stream, Jordan Mason has been placed on the IR and he is going
0:24to be out for the next four weeks. And they picked up not Jerome Ford who they worked out, but DJ Dallas.
0:31So Aaron Jones up and Jordan Mason down. Not great.
0:34Out with a thumb injury. Somebody actually asked me a question today if they should keep Jordan Mason or Woody Marks.
0:40Excuse me, Aaron Jones or Woody Marks rest of season.
0:43And because I knew that Mason had at least this thumb injury.
0:46This was before he was put on IR. I said, got to keep Aaron Jones.
0:51Whenever you have these guys get injured, you always just want to kind of think about worst case scenario and hold on
0:57to their backfield teammates, wide receiver teammates, just in case we get news like this where it seems like nothing.
1:03And then next thing you know, they have to sign somebody and then the guys on the four week injured reserve.
1:10Yep. Fun stuff. Well, we're going to do some butts up with you guys.
1:14We're going to be answering your questions. A priority, of course, to trade based questions.
1:18But we'll have some other stuff that's going to, you know, simmer in and seep in here.
1:23But also we've got super chat. So, you know, if you're listening on the podcast front, you can always come and hang
1:30out on the YouTube that you can drop a super chat.
1:33And when you do it, you get front of the line access guaranteed, guaranteed that we are going to be getting to your question.
1:40Hopefully those are going to be a little bit more trade centric.
1:44But even if they're not, we still got you covered.
1:47So if you want your question answered in this guarantee, drop a super chat.
1:51Depending where we're at, we may lock off the guarantees a little bit into the live stream.
1:56But otherwise, we are going to be doing a hyper focus on trades with super chats, your guys trade stuff and everything in between.
2:03So there's no better time to get into it.
2:06Erickson, you ready to roll? Ready to talk some trades?
2:09That's right. That's right. Let's see what the first one is.
2:12And look at this. Would you know it? First one up here on the supers is James PPR.
2:17Would you accept George Pickens for my DJ more in Loveland?
2:21So he would be getting Pickens and he'd have to give away the top tight end and DJ more.
2:26I think we'd keep DJ more and Colston Loveland.
2:29Yep. That's a stinky no for me. No, thank you.
2:32Are you? The ranks on Loveland are kind of odd this week.
2:36Are you in for a bounce back for him?
2:38Because like it was all there. All the underlying stuff was there, just no targets because they were running 300 plus yards or whatever.
2:45So like I think we're in for a big Loveland bounce back this week.
2:50So I don't think you should be hesitant and probably the worst time to trade Colston Loveland.
2:55That's a whole thing we could do in a show like this.
2:58We're gonna have too many questions. We're not gonna be able to.
3:02But like, you know, who are the guys that you put a hyper focus on buying after week one?
3:07Loveland seems like one of the top buys that you would go with.
3:11And then who are really bad players or good players to trade away?
3:15Like it's the worst time to trade Loveland. Now, maybe Kyle Pitts might be a little bit different.
3:20But what do you think about like Loveland as a an only a buy and not a sell right now?
3:26Only a buy. He was my ultimate buy low candidate on the trade show that I did with Wyrm on Tuesday.
3:33Go check it out on the fantasy pros podcast feed and on the YouTube channel.
3:37It's obvious because the usage was all there. Like you said, he ran the most routes among the bear skill players.
3:43He played all the snaps just wasn't getting the rock.
3:46He did have a couple opportunities where Caleb Williams missed him.
3:50So I don't anticipate that being the case here.
3:52Look, when you face the Carolina Panthers, you can just run the ball at will this week.
3:57It's gonna be a lot different because it's the Minnesota Vikings and Brian Flores defense that loves the blitz.
4:03So I think Loveland is going to be out there a lot as they do a lot of heavy personnel sets to
4:10kind of mitigate all the looks that Brian Flores is going to throw at Caleb Williams.
4:14And I think that means he's gonna have to find a safety blanket, his check down option, and that is going to be Mr.
4:21Colston Loveland. Well, didn't also wasn't he the number one route runner amongst all tight ends as well?
4:27Isn't that doesn't that sound right? Okay. Yeah. So I mean he was out there just the ball wasn't getting him to
4:33it's a bad time to trade him. Even if Loveland was a step down, I still don't think I'd really get into
4:40this trade like DJ more with the bills like last week was supposed to be the like DJ more is going to be horrible.
4:47It's a horrible matchup and it was like, nope, just absolutely locked it in Ben.
4:51Ben, what's up, Ben? Non PPR. I've got Coker and Juwan Johnson.
4:55Should I trade Coker for Kincaid or Laporta? This is covering for having pits.
4:59Currently sitting with QJ, Garrett Wilson, Ted Aroa, Christian Watson, vacation super chat.
5:03Hell yeah. All right. What do you think about moving Coker to get one of one of those tight ends?
5:09I like going for Kincaid. I go for Laporta as well.
5:12I think that this helps solidify your tight end spot a little bit more.
5:16It's non PPR. So I do think that tight ends are a little bit more flex, flexible, flex worthy.
5:22So you could actually be in a situation where you're starting to tight ends because it is dependent on the touchdown equity.
5:29And I maybe I'm crazy. Well, I'll think if I'm crazy, I think that Kincaid and Laporta just in their respective offenses
5:35probably have more touchdown equity than someone like Jalen Coker does in the Carolina Panthers.
5:40Because again, Jalen Coker may never score two touchdowns again this season because he's not facing the Bears.
5:45He may never score again. He'll never again. He'll never score for the rest of his life, maybe even.
5:51So yeah, I think that this is a sharp move to make.
5:54I think it's fine. It's funny you say that I play in a couple of really deeper leagues, a deeper dynasty, and I play in the 16 team.
6:03And this week I actually was double tight ending it.
6:06I have Goddard and Laporta and I was and I had Goddard and I'd actually put last minute, put him over.
6:12I don't know why I didn't have him in, but I had him over Keenan Allen and that ended up working out well for me.
6:19So sometimes in there. But yeah, back to the touchdown equity.
6:22There's a little small part of me with like the juice on Coker, the big run.
6:27He's almost top 30 in fantasy pros ranks for this week.
6:30Like, like I think I would probably prioritize maybe Laporta a little bit more or maybe and I kind of am alluding to like, could you get more?
6:39But I think it's a sharp, you know, like if you just think.
6:43But I mean, also, there's like a Juwan Johnson thing.
6:46He's got Pitts and Juwan Johnson. Like, is there not enough touchdown equity there?
6:50Like, I don't know. This seems your depth is good.
6:53I'm fine with it. You seem to be uncomfortable.
6:55Laporta, I think, is a great get in here.
6:58But the more I stare at this, like, do you value having three tight ends with some type of touchdown equity or having like depth at wide receiver?
7:06Like you got four great ones. But guess what's better than four?
7:10Five. So I'm not really sure I'm diving, dying to do this one personally.
7:14I guess for me, I have more confidence right now entering week two that either Kincaid or Laporta can actually be your
7:21weekly tight end for the rest of the season where I don't feel that way about Kyle Pitts.
7:26Yeah, it's a good point. I don't feel that way about Juwan Johnson because he did nothing until basically the end of the game.
7:33And Jordan Tyson will come back at some point.
7:36And that negatively impacts Juwan Johnson, whereas Laporta and Kincaid, it seems like as long as Kincaid stays healthy, he'll be a
7:42tight end one and Laporta will probably be a tight end one no matter what.
7:47Yeah. Yeah. Love you guys out, by the way.
7:50We got a ton of people in here all out for the trade stream.
7:54Glad to have you guys. Should be on podcast as well.
7:57So keep them coming. Keep them rocking. Super chats are still active, but we got a lot of people in here.
8:03They might they might be coming down here in a little bit.
8:07So just FYI. JSM. Hey, guys, panic meter. Oh, panic meter one to ten.
8:11I was like, how are you one in ten after week one?
8:15I'm an idiot. Panic one to ten. Hampton Waddle Burden.
8:18OK, so individually Hampton panic meter one to ten.
8:20I give like a four to Waddle. No, no targets.
8:23You know, it's not good. It's fine. No running back.
8:26The team was awful. They were horrible in that week one.
8:29I'm not going to panic yet. Waddle one to ten.
8:32Seven. Seven. He's got to be the highest one on this list.
8:36Yep. And then Burden, I would say is like a five or five.
8:40I don't know. I mean, he played more snaps than he did really all last year.
8:45So I would say that positive. I mean, he was the most productive receiver other than Kelly Raymond.
8:50So I Burden, I'm not concerned. I don't feel different about him, really.
8:54No, we did. We did the wide receiver ranks episode.
8:57Highly suggest you guys check it out because we had to have a real conversation about not just Waddle, but Pat Fitzmaurice,
9:03because you and I are both like I'm in on Pat Fitzmaurice and to the point that I think Pat Fitzmaurice unseats
9:10something and it seems more likely that it's Sutton, but he is the slot wide receiver.
9:15He's getting targets out of the slot. He found separation.
9:18Like I'm in, I'm in on Pat Bryant. I don't, it's more of a deeper league play.
9:23Maybe it's, I don't know if he could become flex worthy, but where and how does that affect Waddle this week?
9:29We're both still concerned. So, yeah. But, but, but league made also has two wide receivers and offered him Bijon and Bowers
9:35and he would give away JSN, Parker Washington and likely this is full PPR.
9:40So JSN and Bijon cross cancel. Is it enough to give up likely in Parker Washington for Bowers?
9:45For Brock Bowers. Ooh, and a full PPR. That's how you have to look at it.
9:50Yeah. I think so. I think I'm, again, it's, it's risky because Bowers is obviously hurt, but if he comes back and
9:56is healthy, you're getting, I mean, you wouldn't be able to make this trade two weeks ago for the Bowers injury.
10:03So I like kind of taking advantage of that.
10:05I like taking the swing. Yeah, exactly. Oh, I don't know what that was.
10:09Uh, let's see. Da, da, da, da, da, da.
10:12Uh, 18. Jay Mack. Who would you start? Godwin, Jalen, Warren, Tate, or Wicks, uh, on another.
10:17Oh, that's another one. Okay. So Warren, Godwin, Tate, or Wicks this week.
10:21Tate, Wicks. I think I'd probably go with Chris Godwin playing the Cleveland Browns.
10:25We just saw them get eat up by Parker Washington out of the slot.
10:29Look, Baker Mayfield is going to have a day.
10:32Against his old team, the Cleveland Browns. Just a matter of pinpointing how they are going to score their touchdowns.
10:38I think Godwin's probably set up pretty well here.
10:41I mean, we know the Browns like Parker Washington out of the slot destroyed them.
10:45So you would think that's Godwin. But, um, no wide receiver had more motion before the snap, uh, than, uh, Mecca Guka.
10:52He had the most motion, uh, presets, uh, than any wide receiver.
10:55So if they're moving him around like that, like that might create some interesting situations.
11:00So I'm still good with Godwin there. Uh, QJ Pittman, Demario Douglas, drop for Hollins, or JSN, uh, QJ.
11:05QJ, yeah. Yeah, we're both QJ guys. Even though it shouldn't be.
11:09Uh, JD. What's up, guys? Back-to-back champ with your help.
11:12Aw, aw, Erickson's help. Full PPR. Running backs for Brown, Swift, JSM, Gainwell.
11:16Wide receivers, JJ. Okay, Ladd, Parker, Evans, Wandale. Thinking of offering Evans or Parker Washington for Javante Williams.
11:21So which one would you do, if any? Evans.
11:24Evans? I would offer him. Yeah, I think I'm fine with Evans.
11:27Evans is going to eat this week. But yeah, I think like there's like a minimalist role that you could look at.
11:34Evans is a good one. I don't, here's a bigger question.
11:37Do you think it gets done? Because I don't think the Javante owner gives up Javante for either of those wide receivers.
11:44I mean, just really sell the Miami Dolphins secondary this week to the player that owns Javante Williams.
11:49Like, hey, I mean, again, this is one of these trades where it's like both guys can be good.
11:55It's just a matter of I'm trying to fix my need.
11:58You're trying to help them get better at wide receiver for their team.
12:02Mike Evans and Javante should both be really productive this week.
12:05By the way, shout out to the boys, Benson.
12:08Appreciate you guys. Easier to jump on here when I'm not working.
12:11Avid listener. You guys are the goats. We appreciate you.
12:14And then this is a, this is an Erickson one.
12:17Let's go pros. Good vibes and energy vibes guy as my vibe bro here.
12:21Before we get to more questions and we got a bunch of them.
12:25We're going to continue with the super chats. You guys want guaranteed answers.
12:29Drop a super chat. We've got some other really great questions that are already in the queue.
12:34If I don't answer your trade question, blame it on Seth, who is our super producer.
12:39He makes the decisions, not me. So only blame can go to him.
12:43But before we blame anybody, let's go and talk about our friends over at Polymarket because football is back and it is
12:49time to level up your approach to the NFL and college football this season because Polymarket is here.
12:55Polymarket is a legal prediction market now available in all 50 states.
12:58And unlike traditional sports books on Polymarket, you can trade on all things football from the Saturday and Sunday slates to who
13:05wins the Heisman to who performs the halftime show.
13:08Polymarket gives you the freedom to cash out instantly.
13:10If the momentum swings, you can sell it off in real time.
13:14You are in control. No one can lock you out and you can also buy in any time.
13:19So when the market dips, like if a team starts slow and drops to around like 40%, let's say, that's not a loss.
13:26That's when you can buy in. At Polymarket, you can buy cheap and ride the momentum back up.
13:31Polymarket is so confident you'll never go back to the old way.
13:35They're issuing a challenge. They're giving you a $50 bonus when you deposit just 10 bucks.
13:40Sign up right now with promo code FPPOD. That's Polymarket.us and use promo code FPPOD to get a $50 bonus when you deposit just $10.
13:47It's Polymarket. All right. Let's get back to the questions.
13:50What did we have here? This is official. 12 team, half PPR, just got wicks on waivers.
13:55Good job, man. All right. We didn't even talk about that, by the way.
13:59Most of my waivers were pretty barren, but one of my most important leagues, just want to point out, I got Kalon
14:06Black, and we did it in the Pentathlon League, which is Fitzy.
14:09There's some Roto-Wire guys. Tim Shuler, Jeff Erickson is in there.
14:13DVR. It's an industry league that's out there. Erickson.
14:15And we got Kalon Black, so I'm very proud of ourselves.
14:19And you know why it's even more important? Because we have Christian McCaffrey, and he was still on there.
14:24So we got it. So waivers ran through. That's about the only, I don't even want to point this out.
14:30It's about the only impactful thing I was able to do on any of my waivers.
14:35There wasn't a lot of valet. I don't know if you had any good luck in any of your leagues picking up.
14:42I know you picked up. What was the one we were talking about on the other show?
14:47You picked up because you're a horrible tight end.
14:49David Njoku. David Njoku. You had to pick him up.
14:52Did you have any other good big waiver pickups?
14:55I have not checked my league where I have Zay Flowers and AJ Brown, of which waiver wire receiver I'm going to be starting this week.
15:03I'm hoping it's Pat Bryant or Wicks. I'm probably going to end up getting Matt Collins.
15:07Patent's. It's probably going to be my consolation. I think it's a Bateman.
15:11Shake out. Did you go after any Bateman? I mean, I did the laundry list of wide receivers because I was, again,
15:18I lost two starters last week, assuming that Zay Flowers doesn't play in week two.
15:22So look, there's a couple interesting guys, interesting names out there.
15:26So it's kind of like choose your flavor and it'll be interesting to see who bombs and who comes through when we're talking about week three.
15:33Well, we got this question. Just got Wicks on waivers.
15:36Would you flex Wicks for Brooks, Boston? I guess that's Malachi Fields or Emmett Johnson.
15:4110 team standard league Stafford with Puka Stack. That's the second question.
15:44So would you put in Wicks over Boston Fields, Emmett Johnson or Brooks in a standard format?
15:49Yeah. Oh, wait. No, no, no. I'm sorry. I'm screwing up.
15:53It's how he wrote the question. This is the half PPR, 12 team, half PPR Wicks over any of those guys.
15:59Standards. I'd start him over all those guys. None of them are like Brooks is kind of interesting, but I mean, he
16:05only played like 20% of the snaps. So he still kind of want to see a little bit more before you throw him back out there.
16:13I like Boston. Well, I mean, dude, Browns, like I know, I know, but I think the Bucs are going to be up.
16:20I think they're going to be up. But I mean, Wicks could just, I would rather play Wicks.
16:25I think I'm cool. Like, I mean, again, Erickson finished way higher in the ranks with me.
16:30I would just point out, like, I think Boston's upside is really intriguing.
16:34I would have been very aggressive with him on waivers.
16:37I kind of like him. I mean, Wicks is a two or three catch guy as well.
16:42I would personally go Boston, but Wicks is fine.
16:45They're in the same tier together. So the other question was 10 team standard.
16:49Would you go with a Stafford with Puka stack or T law versus Denver?
16:53So it's a quarterback play. Trevor Lawrence. Easy. He diced up Denver last year and he's going to do it again.
17:00Yeah. Same. I'm saying with you, by the way, Seth noting Sam Darnold is officially ruled out of week two.
17:05They said there are no plans to put them on the IR, but he's officially out.
17:10So that is going to lock us into Drew Locke.
17:13So no pun intended. Drew Locke is in. I'm on a rocket ship.
17:17All right. James Garrett Wilson for my Watson PPR.
17:20Should I accept? I think so. Yeah. They could write up Garrett Wilson.
17:24Thank you. And full again, it has to be full PPR.
17:27I think that Wilson just projects so well in terms of didn't we just talk about this with Fitz?
17:33We're talking about with Gino. The next three matchups, all NFC North defenses.
17:36Garrett Wilson is going to go nuclear over the next three weeks.
17:40And there's always a chance that Watson just isn't like he didn't even leave the team in targets last week.
17:46Wilson is going to leave the team in targets every single week.
17:49Set your clock on it or set your alarm on or whatever the phrase is.
17:54Help me out, Welsh. Yeah. I just set your alarm.
17:57I don't know. Like, do you have a clock?
18:00Set your alarm clock on it. Set your clocks back an hour?
18:03Well, you don't know about time. You don't know about the daylight savings.
18:07No, I know more than anybody does, but I don't know how you guys treat it.
18:12I live in Arizona. We're the only state. Well, there's two places.
18:15It's Hawaii, but here in, you know, the land without a water mass between us, we are the only state that does not do time change.
18:23So when time change happens, you guys change your clocks.
18:26I change time zones. But because I work in this industry, it's like changing back the clock because I have to go by everybody's Eastern time.
18:34But it's a mess. The poor whiteboard is just going to feel the brute of the time zone.
18:39The whiteboard, this is the schedule. The whiteboard's going to get blown to smithereens when the hour changes.
18:45Oh, it's going to be a disaster. Everybody knows I have my normal schedule.
18:49And then I was like, I'm whiteboarding it. So that's like my recording schedule for...
18:53It's all just gibberish. It looks like a coach.
18:56It looks like a big board. Like I'm writing up a play.
18:59It's crazy. Time change is like a... I need a much bigger whiteboard for mine.
19:04That's just like one that I had picked up.
19:07All right. Back to it. Let's get to the supers.
19:09By the way, supers are still active. I think we're doing pretty good.
19:13I'm not going to halt off any supers so you guys can keep dropping them.
19:18We'll let you know when your guarantees are becoming dicey.
19:21But keep dropping those supers if you want. I'm going to keep rolling with those a little bit.
19:26I'll get to a few other questions that we've got queued up and we'll get back to the supers.
19:32But James said, my Hampton for Burden or Coker and Harvey or Price.
19:36No. Tell all of us. So he gets... Essentially, this is like Burden and Price for Hampton.
19:41No at all of these. I want Hampton. Yeah.
19:43Unless you were desperate for depth or something like that.
19:46I like Price, but I don't think I would do that either.
19:50So, all right. Henry got offered DJ Moore for Watson.
19:53Yay or nay? DJ Moore. I would stick with Watson, but this one is closer.
19:57I'm trying to think who I have higher in my rest of season ranking because I feel like it's going to be close between those two guys.
20:05I'm going to guess who you have Watson. Yeah, I got Watson higher.
20:09Yeah. Okay. Nope. All right. Good, good. Tack Sports.
20:12I traded CMC and Kelsey to get Loveland and Chase Brown.
20:15Did I get cooked? Did he get cooked? I mean, I'm not a CMC guy, so I don't think he did.
20:21I had Chase Brown ahead of CMC, and I obviously had Loveland ahead of Kelsey.
20:26So, I don't think he got cooked. Especially if CMC is a part-time running back rest of the season.
20:32Oh, my God. I'm just kidding. If CMC has 25 touches this week and then another 25, are you going to like...
20:38He's playing the Dolphins, dude. He doesn't... Okay. The thing is, again, it's weird, but it's actually probably better if he doesn't
20:45touch the ball 30 times a game because that way he's not going to break in half.
20:50And he'll actually be available for the 49ers all year long.
20:53Available for fantasy managers all year long. And he can be more efficient and not wear down as the season progresses.
20:59You just got another out for your 400 touch thing.
21:02That's what kills me here. You're just... You have already said you are just like a product of the numbers.
21:08You won't relent on it. And you just got one more out.
21:12You never did you place like Kalon Black could take anything away from me.
21:16Of course I wasn't going to be like that.
21:19I was going to be like, well, guys, he's actually going to fail because this Kalon Black guy is taking over the backfield.
21:25I just like... Of course I want. I'm a 49er fan.
21:29I got a CMC helmet back here. I take Bowman and Chase Brown.
21:33But I want him to succeed just in spite of you.
21:36I think this is fine, though. Like if you got Chase Brown...
21:39Chase Brown's got a horrific matchup this week. But Chase Brown's great.
21:43Loveland's a great buyback here. If you would just surface level look at it as like, would you trade CMC to get Chase Brown and Loveland?
21:51Like, yeah, that's a great trade. So what the hell does Kelsey matter in this trade?
21:55So... All right. Very good one. You guys have some great...
21:59I love that you guys are really rocking with a lot of trade questions.
22:03You guys are doing good. Paul. And then we're going to kill the trade question.
22:07Howdy, boys. Someone dropped Josh Jacob. Should I pick him up?
22:11I've got Tootin' Jonathan Brooks, Jalen Warren, and Bijan Robinson.
22:14Full PPR, 12-man. The latest news that came down yesterday is the female involved did not...
22:18Or wanted to keep the video sealed. That's the news on that.
22:22So, you know, if we're trying to sparse through that, we all kind of know, like, the video is usually going to
22:28be one of the most damning situations that can happen.
22:31And this is another step towards that not happening.
22:34So it's tricky. I'm giving you the context here because I think that's why people are asking Josh Jacobs questions.
22:40Because people feel because of that, that is more the likelihood that he will just serve his six games, you know, on top...
22:47Instead of on top of something that would be a lot greater.
22:50So, with all of that context here, do you have interest in getting into the waters here?
22:56I think this is tough because those are all startable guys.
22:59Like, I'm not jumping to go pick up Jacobs and all the chaos when you have to give up Warren and Brooks.
23:05So I'd probably say no. But what say you?
23:08Assuming those are the only guys that he can drop, I would also say no.
23:12But if Jacobs is out there on waiver wire, I think that he is worth just stashing.
23:18Again, as more things kind of happen in this case, the more likely it is that we'll get to, like, the resolution.
23:24Like you were talking about where it's like, okay, like, now we know six games, eight games, done for his career, whatever.
23:31At least we'll come to a, okay, this is what the Jacobs season is going to look like in 2026.
23:37And then if he's on your bench, you can cut him or figure out what you have to do after that.
23:43So these running backs, though, I would not take Jacobs over them.
23:46I would not either. All right. That was the same one.
23:50Scott, I don't know what you had, but either you just love us.
23:54So thanks. Otherwise, maybe Seth can find it if there's a question that just didn't get out there.
23:59My Hampton for Nico PPR. I think it's fine if you need wide receiver.
24:03Yeah, it depends on the knee. I thought Nico looked really good against the Buffalo Bills.
24:08He's such an alpha dude. Stroud also, Stroud, one of those guys, you look at some of the underlying stuff, like, he looked pretty great.
24:15Getting the ball deep, adjusted completion percentage, like, things are trending in a really good direction.
24:20So I'm down with that. I was down. Give Zay and Chase Brown to get Ladd and James Cook.
24:26Give my injury receiver for their injury receiver for...
24:28So, no. Man, actually, this one's tough. I don't know.
24:31I definitely like Zay more than Ladd, but they're both hurt.
24:35So I guess... I mean, I'd rather have Zay.
24:37Chase Brown and James Cook. I'd rather have James Cook.
24:40But I think that's closer than the Ladd and Zay conversation is.
24:44So I would keep Zay Flower. Zay Flower is also the guy, like, the most.
24:48I mean, he was like my flag plant guy, and to see him just basically go nuclear and then get hurt was...
24:55I mean... Ugh. Yeah, I do too. There's a little bit of, like, I'm kind of feeling like, ooh.
25:00Because I was like, Ladd is not going to get back to top 12 unless he gets, you know, a 29% target share and this, that, and everything.
25:09And then it was like, it went up to 24 in the last game, and Quentin Johnson just got shut out.
25:15So I feel like a little bit dicey that maybe I'm wrong in that he's going to pop up, but I'm still not doing that trade either.
25:23I'm going to stick with the Zay side. Zay.
25:26Alams? Loaded at running back. Apparently everyone's got Hampton.
25:28Hampton, Henry, Chuba, Brooks, Woody, Kaelin Black. Wide receivers are Ted Roa, JMO.
25:32I'm guessing that's Parker Washington. What wide receiver should I package Corum with to upgrade at wide receiver?
25:38All of the wide receivers? I mean, I would say Ted Roa probably has the most value, and then Parker?
25:44Yeah. I think, could you trade Blake Corum for Drake London?
25:47No. Straight up? Okay, then I would go for Drake London then.
25:50He's a screaming buy low because his quarterback plays dog water right now, but once Michael Penix Jr.
25:56comes back, which probably still won't be this week, dude, I mean, he has an amazing ceiling with Penix.
26:01Would you do it, though, if you had to give up Ted Roa and Corum?
26:06To get Drake London? Yeah. Or Parker Washington and Corum?
26:09Because what I'm getting at is, like, are you only willing to do that if it's JMO and Corum?
26:14Yeah, probably. Only JMO, not the other guys? Mm, McMillan is interesting because I think that, again, I would rather have Drake
26:21London than T-Mac rest of season, and then Corum obviously is a really good piece.
26:25But I think, yeah, I would start with JMO, especially after Thursday night.
26:29I think he could have a pretty big game.
26:32God, maybe that'll work. It's the difference between trying to talk to your friends over the music at a bar and having
26:39dinner where you can actually hear each other. Between getting food delivered and cooking something you know she's gonna love.
26:45It's the difference between a rough nicotine pouch and On Nicotine Pouches with Nico Silk Mesh.
26:49No corners, no rough edges. Just the softest pouch on the planet.
26:53On Plus nicotine pouches. It's the difference that changes everything.
26:56Not all varieties available in all geographies. Warning, this product contains nicotine.
26:59Nicotine is an addictive chemical. How's the new place?

28:26That's J-A-S-E dot com. Okay. Gonna cut off Super Chats now.
28:29Me forgetting that this is a 45-minute show. We're gonna cut off those Super Chats at least guaranteed.
28:34Does not mean we're necessarily gonna not get to them, but just cutting that off to make sure that we can guarantee
28:41we have all of the Super Chats. So I think it's Whoop Fried Rice is the last one that is on the guaranteed.
28:48So just FYI, it's a risk if you drop any Super Chats here.
28:52And as we move forward to the next questions, I wanna remind you guys since we're talking trades about the Trade Analyzer.

29:28you where you're at on your next trades. All right.
29:31Smudge got offered Kyron Williams for Tootin in Dynasty.
29:34Which side do you want? I will take Tootin.
29:37I am cool with Tootin, but I will say if you're like a win-now team, I prefer Kyron Williams and he still has a couple more years too.
29:45So I don't think it's a gimme, but I'm fine with Tootin on that one.
29:50A little dicey. You know what? I'm actually, I'm going to change my answer.
29:54I'm actually going to go. Oh. I just checked my Dynasty rankings because I wanted to, because I, again, I wasn't sure.
30:00Obviously we saw week one play, but I mean, I know Corum looks good, but Kyron still dominated the snaps, dominates the red zone usage.
30:08So I think for me, it's still Kyron. The thing with Tootin that I want to be aware of for Dynasty purposes
30:14is he still was a day three pick. And typically these types of running backs can get replaced, which is a concern.
30:21Whereas with Kyron, he already has a contract with the Rams.
30:24And even though Blake Corum is good too, I don't think, Kyron just has a lot more outs, I would say, just
30:31given his career path already and the fact that he's already signed a new second contract.
30:35It's just tougher for Tootin. And like I said, like from a win now perspective, I don't love doing that.
30:41I will say that Cohen had a lot of good things.
30:45There's a lot of praise going around on Tootin right now.
30:48It does seem like they still want him to work on a few things, but like it just doesn't seem like he's going away anytime soon.
30:56So like you're better younger by long-term, I suppose.
30:58I think like the career path for Tootin is you hope he is, he can turn into like a Kyron, right?
31:04Or you could just take Kyron, right? You know what I mean?
31:08Yeah, that's the family guy. It's like the boat, but anything could be in the box, even a boat.
31:14One wide receiver, one flex, Nico Watson, HN, McLaurin, Godwin, pick two.
31:17I love how you have to read ETN as HN.
31:20I just have to line. There's just some stuff this year.
31:23And it's like seeing ETN and having to say HN is just his nightmare.
31:28I mean, he's complicating things, especially because his brother did not change the pronunciation of his name.
31:33So what? Trevor ETN is still Trevor ETN. He wants to be ETN?
31:37No, because apparently that's how his last name is pronounced.
31:40So I don't know. All right. Get to the question.
31:43Nico's in and Watson is in. It's only two.
31:45Yeah, that's it. First two. Just for name, because of name only, HN doesn't get in there.
31:50That's ridiculous. But no, I agree with this. Also, Raiden's.
31:53Not the greatest matchup. Yeah, yeah, exactly. My Tootin, Veilet, Wicks for Hampton and McMillan.
31:58Is that Ted Aroa? Yeah. Yes. That's the dumbest trade I've ever seen.
32:02I mean, dude, this could be Jalen McMillan and I would still do this.
32:06I know. I was like, if this Jalen McMillan, like, it's a little like more.
32:10But if that's Ted Aroa, McMillan, that is the dumbest trade.
32:13And everybody should be hitting up James to play in his league if other people are doing trades like that.
32:19And if that's for you, you know what to do.
32:22PPR. Give Don Tavian Wicks. Get McClorin. Yes. Let's go.
32:25And get McLaurin. Go get McLaurin. Maybe Terry McLaurin should have been my buy low.
32:30He always struggles against the Eagles. And then he gets Dallas this week.
32:34He's an easy buy. Who's a better buy low?
32:36McLaurin or Jalen Waddell? McLaurin. Because the thing with Waddell is we still haven't seen it, right?
32:41I've seen Terry McLaurin be good with Jaden Daniels.
32:44Like, that's not a projection. We have one game of Davis Webb, Bo Nix, and Jalen Waddell together.
32:49And it was poop. So we don't buy poop.
32:52Technical term. Yeah. We don't. We don't. We don't buy poop.
32:55You're right. But you can, actually. Have you ever seen it?
32:59Like the elephant? It's crazy. I'm not going to give any people ideas.
33:03Space Man. My Bowers and Emma Johnson for Neighbors and Strange.
33:06Okay. So it's essentially Bowers for Neighbors. 14 man full PPR.
33:09He's got Higgins, both Wilsons, Concepcion, and then tight end is Bowers and Mayer.
33:13So he would have Mayer as his starting tight end.
33:16And then he would upgrade to have Neighbors, Higgins, Garrett Wilson.
33:19Yeah, so who is your tight end in this situation then?
33:23I guess in a 14 team. Or Strange. I mean, do you think Mayer is going to be reliable when Bowers comes back?
33:30I'm not doing it. I think in this particular roster build, it doesn't make a ton of sense.
33:35I think Neighbors for Bowers is like a good trade because you get the elite talent.
33:40You just get the guy that you think is healthier, which I think at least after one week, we know who is
33:46healthier and it's Neighbors and not Bowers. That's a good point.
33:50So I do like that aspect, but the fact that you don't really have another alternative for tight end does kind of concern me.
33:57So 14 man, I'm okay if you have piecemeal tight end.
34:00Obviously, you're moving off the elite, but I'd be concerned.
34:03Again, Spaceman, if you can tell us too, if you have alternatives, what are you going to do at tight end next would be my follow-up question.
34:11Because right now, if it's just I'm going to roll with Michael Mayer, I don't think that's a strategy I would advise to do.
34:18Or Britain's strange. But that's not a good option either.
34:21Oh yeah, I guess you get strange too. So I guess that might be the depth piece.
34:26I don't know. It's like, I just don't love it from the team perspective.
34:30But like Neighbors, I guess if I had to personally pick Long Term Dynasty, I would want Neighbors over Bowers.
34:36But I just think it really screws up your team.
34:39So good morning, evening, afternoon. God, it's like 1230 my time.
34:42It's like late afternoon for Erickson here. Good morning, afternoon.
34:45Would you trade AJ Brown and Saquon to get T Higgins, Tootin and Dobbs?
34:50Scott is my other running back and Malik is my other wide receiver.
34:53Half PPR. Like getting Higgins, Tootin is a player I did talk about as a bye.
34:58Saquon kind of meh in his first game against the commanders.
35:01Eagles offensive line is kind of eh. So no for me, dog.
35:05But are you going to pull the trigger? I don't love it either.
35:09But yeah. If I don't love it, I usually don't do it.
35:12So there you go. I'm going to hold. Tradeaway Puka for an early 2021 first and second and stripling.
35:18Yes. No. I'm not. I'm not going to trade away.
35:21You're stripling? Oh, who cares? It's a top two or three overall player in fantasy.
35:26And you're like, oh, cool. I could get a pick that could like maybe be 75% of Puka.
35:31It's only a first, second and stripling. Oh, okay.
35:34It's only one first. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I mean, you have to give me Jeremiah Smith.
35:38If I'm not getting Jeremiah Smith, I'm not doing it.
35:41Well, that's what I mean. But you'd be, if theoretically within early 2027 first, you're getting Jeremiah Smith.
35:47It's going to be number one pick though. You have to have the number one pick.
35:51Well, that's why you're getting two firsts. So no.
35:54I'm not doing that. You're not going to trade one of the best fantasy players.
35:59I know he loves to like bite people and run into glass windows and stuff, but like I'm still going to hold on to him.
36:06Ghazi, looking to give Gentian a wide receiver for CMC.
36:09What's a range of wide receiver. You might give him.
36:12Berkson's not going to do this. A wide receiver would be not a wide receiver.
36:16It would be, who should I trade CMC to get Gentian a wide receiver?
36:21I don't think I can be honest with you.
36:23Like I would trade my Gentian to get CMC, but if I have to give like a quality wide receiver up to,
36:30I don't know if I'm really interested in it.
36:32Like Gentian is going to get a ton of usage.
36:35It's not a great team, but he's still going to roll.
36:39If I had to give up Don TV and Wicks, how about it?
36:43But if I had to give up like a part of Washington, I'm not even sure I would do a Jalen Coker.
36:49I think that's too much. I think it'd have to be like a Jalen Coker to get the deal done.
36:55Someone that popped off for a big game. This is a good one.
36:59Either loan just loves us and is just giving us some, but I feel like this is an actual loan.
37:05I feel like there's a question attached to it that maybe Seth could find if it's out there.
37:10Cause I can't imagine this is just love when your name is loan money.
37:14So, but I'm hoping it is. This is how I catch you.
37:18Yeah, yeah, exactly. They're like, yeah, yeah, yeah. We gave you that $5, but I got seven questions for you now.
37:24Here's Ben 10 man full PPR was offered Ken Walker and Nico Collins, but have to give up Jameer Gibbs.
37:30Yeah. Can't give up Gibbs. Sorry. But dude, you get a top 10.
37:34It's not just sick. You go top 10 wide receiver in a top like five or six.
37:39Gibbs is scoring every single week. Can't give him up.
37:42Yeah. Sorry. You can't give up the guys that have the special seasons.
37:46The reason you can't have a special. Here's the reason you don't do it is a 10 man league.
37:52And in 10 man leagues, your attention should be hyper-focused on the best players and the best player in this is Gibbs.
37:58The problem is it's a really good offer because it's two really good players.
38:02They're going to start every single week. It's not like the guys like, Hey, I'll give you Ken Walker.
38:08And then I'll give you, I mean, even Mike Evans or something like that.
38:12It's like, no, it's like a top 10 wide receiver.
38:15I know. So you're now, but now I'm looking at his roster.
38:19Cause I'm like, dude, he's got. Oh, I didn't even look at his roster.
38:23London. No, I mean, his roster is exactly like why this trade makes sense.
38:27Cause he has London flowers, AJ Brown. And DJ injured, injured, terrible quarterback.
38:31So like, God, I think, man, I think actually you say it.
38:34You say it. Okay. You say it. And at least you're getting, so even though Gibbs is going to have the number
38:41one season, Ken Walker is also going to have a special season.
38:45And we did talk about Nico earlier. So yeah, man, given the roster, you have the injuries that you already have London's quarterback situation.
38:52I do think that you actually do need to pull the trigger here.
38:56So. All right. Please don't watch Thursday night football.
38:58Yeah. I know. Please do not do it. All right.
39:01One more. Let's do some giveaway stuff. I want to talk to you guys about potential giveaways.

39:55So when that championship belt, be the hero to your league, by the way, is there any bigger hero than being like,
40:01Hey guys, by the way, yeah, we're going to play for that cool pot.
40:05But did I also tell you we're going to play for a championship belt?
40:10Oh, dig it. Like that would be, that'd be amazing.
40:13None of my friends do that for any of my leagues, though.
40:16I am playing for a championship belt this year.
40:19And so is Erickson, because we are the only two.
40:22Well, no worm is with us. Worm myself and Erickson are the only ones in the tags league here on fantasy pros,
40:28which is the championship league of the entire company.
40:31And we are vying for it. And I squeaked out a win lowest scoring winner this past week.
40:36So I am want to know, did you win?
40:39I had Ken Walker. So of course I won.
40:42Of course you won single-handedly. So we can take home one of those.
40:46All right. Lightning round. We got to get into lightning round here because we've got some supers.
40:51You ready? Let's do it. Okay. You got to rev me up here.
40:55It's raining. By the way, I live in Arizona.
40:57It's raining outside right now. I can hear it.
41:00Can you hear that? It's like thunder and rain.
41:03That's a sign. Sign from the gods that we need to play.
41:06So let's go. Taco, 12 team tight end premium.
41:09Too early to panic on Devante. Would you target?
41:11Who would you target as a buy-in-in option? Maybe Smith or what Smith or Loveland?
41:16That is Smith. Trading Devante Smith for Loveland? I think that's a fine trade to do.
41:21I'm not worried about Devante Smith. No, I'm not really worried either.
41:24And we already mentioned we love buying on Loveland.
41:27I was sent a trade offer for my Monty, Mike Evans, and Goddard.
41:31He would get A-Chan, Parker, and Gusecki. Yes. So you're getting A-Chan, Washington, and you want A-Chan, Parker, and Gusecki?
41:37Monty upgrades to A-Chan. Evans and Parker are a wash.
41:40And then you're giving away Goddard for Gusecki. I think you're losing a tight end to get better at running back.
41:46I love it. Yeah, I like that. And I actually prefer, I think I slightly prefer Washington over Evans.
41:52Oh, so there you go. Even better. Offered Lamb and Washington for A-Chan and Ladd.
41:56What do you think? I would, Parker, Washington? I would, no, no for me.
42:00Because I'd rather have Lamb than A-Chan. And I'd rather have Parker, Washington right now than Ladd.
42:05So. Okay, perfect. And the guy's name is Go Cowboys, by the way.
42:09So, go with the Lamb. He's trying to get real.
42:12Yeah, he doesn't want to point out. I mean, dude, this is classic Cowboys fans.
42:17I know. We love you guys. 12-team PPR. This is from Andrew.
42:2012-team PPR. Colonel Tate was dropped. Pick him up for Quinton Johnston.
42:24No, just because of the lat injury. So I think you've got to keep QJ.
42:28Yeah, and the Titans are wretched. Duncan McBride, Igbuka for London, Ramondre, and Johnston.
42:32Nope. Yeah, no. Absolutely not. Keep McBride, Igbuka. McBruka.
42:35McBruka. Whatever McBruka, you want the McBruka. It sounds like a coffee, a new coffee at McDonald's.
42:40Sounds like something McDonald's is going to put together.
42:43Introducing the new McBruka at McDonald's. It moves around a lot, and it covers a lot of territory, and it sometimes scores touchdowns.
42:50Henry, start this week, rest of season. Well, those are two different things.
42:53Laporta, Kincaid, who to trade for? So which one do you want?
42:57Oh, yeah. So I would definitely try to trade one of these guys, because this is going to be a question you're
43:04going to be asking literally every single week. I think I would start Kincaid this week, and I just think that his
43:10path to targets is cleaner than Laporta. I think there's less mouths to feed in the Bills offense, and I think that this Kincaid thing is real, right?
43:18It's amazing what happens when you get a full-time role and functional PCLs.
43:22Yeah. You get Delta Kincaid in week one. PCLs are good.
43:2612-man PPR. I've got Goff, Brown, Wilson, Williams, Chase, and Monty.
43:29Should I trade Monty for a higher running back, and then should I start?
43:33You start Chase Brown. You'll start Chase Brown. Yep.
43:36For sure. But should you? Yeah, if you can upgrade it, you're going to take a running back and get a better running back?
43:43What else are you going to have to give up?
43:46So I don't know if I would be comfortable.
43:48Maybe it's Jameson, Williams, because you've got Wilson and Brown.
43:51That's probably what I would do. Could you trade?
43:54This is a trade I posted, I think. I asked a couple people.
43:58Dave Montgomery for Jeremiah Love. I don't think you could do it, but I'd be into it.
44:03Really? Even after the three touchdowns? No, I don't think so.
44:06You can't get Love? Man. No, I don't think so.
44:09Remember, lightning run here. But this is horrifically bad news.
44:12Just breaking, Kyle Shanahan is saying that Dejan Stribling is going to be out for 10 weeks, close to 10 weeks.
44:19So not the four. It's not the four-week IR, man.
44:22Debo Samuel. Whoop. Demarcus Robinson. A little bit. A little tiny bit, but Debo on the up, my friends.
44:27Let's see. Once Pat, always Pat. Only questionable member of my team is quarterback Herbert.
44:32Should I drop him for Purdy, who's on waivers?
44:34Yes. Oh, yeah. If he's on waivers, that means you guys have great options.
44:38You don't need to wait around for Herbert to show that he can do it when Purdy's out there and he's playing the Dolphins.
44:46Just you don't have to overthink it. Herbert. Justin Herbert.
44:49Aloha, guys. Aloha. 10-team PPR. My Ken Walker and Ladd to get Justin Jefferson and Bucky.
44:53It's pretty lateral to me. I just don't want to trade Ken Walker, man.
44:57I just don't want to trade him. But you get Justin Jefferson, though.
45:01That is true. I'm cool with doing that. I agree.
45:04Like, I don't want to. Can you imagine being someone like Bogman who didn't want Ken Walker this year?
45:10Can you imagine living that life? But you get Justin Jefferson.
45:13But you get Justin Jefferson. So I'm cool with that.
45:16Yeah. The Bucks. I just don't want to trade Ken Walker.
45:20It is a good return, though. Yeah, it is pretty good.
45:23Trade Chase for Barkley, Waddle, and Parker Washington. Assuming this is Jamar Chase.
45:27Chase. No. A lot of depth. I don't know if the rest of you.
45:31I think, yeah, in a nutshell, I don't want to do that.
45:34But those are some good pieces. I don't want to trade Jamar Chase after he puts up a stinker in week one
45:41because he does this every single year and then not even get a chance to get any of his points.
45:47What if he has like a bomb other receiver and then like one good running back and a bad third wide receiver
45:53and he just upgraded from, you know, Tootin to Barkley and then his third wide receiver just upgraded to like, I don't even know.
46:01I'm keeping Chase. I'm keeping Chase. This is a, not to say that those guys are bad.
46:06It's not like a ponies for a horse deal, but the three for one trades usually I just want the best player and the best player is Chase.
46:14Ponies for a horse deal. I like it. Andrew, 10 team PPR.
46:17I've got Jason, Nico with Higgins, Parker Washington and Christian Watson too.
46:21My running back one is Chase Brown. Running back two is Tootin with Mononghi and Mason.
46:26Should I pursue some trades? And if so, for who?
46:29Well, you just lost more running backs. So you should definitely get a running back.
46:33If you have Jason Collins, Higgins, Washington and Watson, I would be trying to trade Higgins.
46:38That's a person or Watson. If somebody is really buying high on Watson, I would look at Watson and Higgins and I would upgrade my running back.
46:46Yeah. I think that you're just going to get a lot for Watson and Washington right now because they're really buzzy players.
46:53They're breakout players. They hit in week one. So you can just get a really strong return for them.
46:58And I think you can probably get a pretty strong running back for them and you have a surplus of receivers to work with.
47:05So I would be comfortable just getting don't just don't look at it as like, oh, who should I get rid of?
47:12Be like, think about it as who can I get the most back for?
47:16I think is a good way. Yeah, exactly. That's a good way to put it.
47:21Vang says trade CD and Monty and Rashad White to get B.
47:24John and a and Monro St. Brown or no, that's AJ.
47:27AJ Brown. This one's interesting. You get B. John and then you got to wait on AJ Brown.
47:33If you got depth, then yeah, I would do this.
47:36You got B. John Robinson. You got Pat Bryant.
47:38You're covered. So you can do that. But yeah, I would do that.
47:42Jokingly. I say Pat Bryant. I didn't get the laugh out of Erickson at all.
47:47I didn't even react. Dude, I'm sorry. Whenever I see AJ Brown in a question, I just shed a tear.
47:53Lock up. What's up, guys? What's up? I've got AJ Brown and Zay Flowers in a 12-man PPR.
47:58Sorry for your loss. Should I trade one or just hang on?
48:02You got to hang on. Keep on hanging out.
48:04You can't trade those guys. AJ Brown's a horrible trade right now.
48:08Yeah, I don't even know exactly what the AJ Brown trade market is because it's all over the place.
48:13You needed to hit waivers and get Valey and Pat Bryant and then just try to get those guys in.
48:19I think the trade market stinks. If the trade market's better, come bring it to us.
48:24I just don't know what it looks like. Yeah, if you're going to trade AJ Brown, don't do it now.
48:30Don't wait two weeks and then make a move.
48:33Either rip the bandaid off and be like, I'm getting rid of this guy or nope, we're seeing it through.
48:39I'm going to wait until he comes back. Seeing it out.
48:42100%. Yeah. All right. We're in overtime here. Last four so we can get these in.
48:47Stribbling IR looking to stash another wide receiver. Either the Miami wide receivers, Lemon or Addison.
48:52Adonine, not rookie, but just hit waivers. I like Caleb Douglas.
48:55That's who I was going after. So that would be my answer.
48:58Yeah. I mean, almost 100 yards in his rookie debut.
49:01I think that he has the most instant, immediate impact right now.
49:05So Lemon seems like a work in progress. So I would go with Douglas.
49:09Yeah. Dude, there is like a torrential storm out.
49:12And Arizona, it's like 95 degrees. That's like where hurricanes happen.
49:15It's like 95 degrees out and I'm just- In the desert.
49:18It's desert. So I want to open this window bad and show everybody.
49:22Paul says, I've got Jalen Waddle, Nico Collins, Brian Thomas, Jr., Mark Wilson, and Keenan Allen.
49:27Who should I panic on? Who do you think I can get?
49:31So Waddle is definitely someone we're concerned about. Nico's fine.
49:33Brian Thomas, Jr. is expected to struggle just based on his role in this offense.
49:38He's also hurt again. Who's Mark Wilson? I cannot decipher these.
49:41Oh, Mark. I don't know. Is it Michael Wilson?
49:44Is this your player in Madden? Marvin Harrison. All right.
49:47Let's talk about Waddle. So he wants to upgrade a wide receiver, essentially.
49:51Yeah. So I guess, I mean, Nico's the only one.
49:54You're not going to get anything for these guys.
49:56That's the issue. Like you have Waddle. I don't think you should panic on any of those guys right yet.
50:02I don't think it's time. Who would you rather have rest of the season?
50:07Waddle or AJ Brown? Do you hope it turns around for Waddle or do you just wait it out?
50:12Again, both are like you got to- Because the Waddle thing is not guaranteed to hit, right?
50:17It could get better, but it could also still be kind of bad.
50:21Like if I were given the even time, I would say AJ Brown.
50:25But like I got to wait three more weeks with Waddle.
50:28Like I prefer AJ Brown when he's back. I think we need to see more from Waddle before we make big panic.
50:35We can talk about the panic. But if I'm going to go make a significant move off of Waddle, it would have
50:41to be like one for one value because I think it might be premature.
50:45So I'm not sure I'm panicking on any of those guys.
50:49What do I do with HN? Have Ken Walker, Travion, and HN.
50:52Okay, you have one running back. So I would hold on.
50:56I would hold on right now. Also, horrible time to trade both of Henderson or AJ.
51:00I would want to see what the usage looks like.
51:03He was used primarily on third downs and goal line stuff.
51:07It was a bad match. I want to see how his usage is this week before I react to him.
51:13Travion is not someone that that's the reason why you can trade another running back.
51:17Like Ramondre has that role right now and Travion's got to come back.
51:21You feel any different? No. I mean, HN, I want to trade away.
51:25I thought that he was way more of a committee than I thought, especially with Kendrick Miller.
51:30Not even Alan Kamara was kind of eating into his workload.
51:33He was my cell on the trade show with Worm.
51:36So he'd be the player that I would be trying to package.
51:40I think the biggest thing when it comes to players and you're selling them is package.
51:44You can't make them the focal point of the deal because then it's really obvious to the other managers what exactly you're doing.
51:51What you have to do is find a manager that really needs running back.
51:55Like that's kind of your best path to get a player like HN off of your roster for a decent value, even if his stock is down.
52:03Package. Make sure it's a good package. Very good.
52:06Vinny, last one. Trade away my HN for James Cook if available to do so.
52:11PPR also. Is it fair for both sides? I mean, Cook seemed like he went consistently ahead of HN in fantasy drafts.
52:17So I'm not exactly sure why someone would think.
52:20I mean, again, subject to what you believe. I mean, HN had a better workload than Cook did in week one.
52:26Cook also had a brutal matchup against the Texans defense.
52:29He was really one of the only guys that didn't really pop off.
52:33But he gets the lines this week. So if you can do this, get Cook.
52:37Well, my apologies. I thought we were going to get to more.
52:41We could get out beyond the super chats, but we can't.
52:44I did overtime here. I did overtime for you guys because we love you.
52:48We got every single super chat in here. Again, that's always the best way if you want to guarantee a question answer.
52:55We got a lot of you hanging in here and really appreciate everybody that was in.
53:00But it's not over. You can go over to Twitch, twitch.tv slash fantasy pros.
53:04I don't know if it's this second or if it's in like eight minutes.
53:08You guys could tell me, but Matt Modai is going to be on there and more fantasy questions.
