Player analysis
Player insights
Aaron Jones
PositiveValue22:02
The source views Aaron Jones as a 'buy high' candidate who could be packaged with Jalen Waddle to exploit a panicking league mate, noting that Jones is preferred over Basial Tudin long-term.
Insight pageAlvin Kamara
PositiveUsage15:18
Tara Roberts and Scott Bogman prefer Alvin Kamara over Will Shipley in full PPR formats, citing Kamara's higher baseline for check-down targets and recent goal-line usage, despite his minor injury concerns.
Insight pageBlake Corum
NegativeUsage32:00
The source notes that Blake Corum's volume has dipped significantly, lacking the consistency required to be a reliable fantasy starter while Saquon Barkley is sidelined.
Insight pageCeeDee Lamb
NegativeValue35:03
The source describes a trade offer of Luther Burden and three first-round picks for CeeDee Lamb as a 'Godfather deal' that is likely too good to refuse, despite Lamb being the best player on the roster.
Insight pageChase Brown
PositiveValue34:21
The source highlights Chase Brown as a 'volume king' and a prime target for managers looking to upgrade their running back position, noting he is currently undervalued by the market.
Insight pageChristian Watson
NegativeValue50:17
Christian Watson's trade value is currently perceived as slightly low due to recent poor performance and negative sentiment surrounding the Packers' offensive line and Jordan Love. It is not considered an ideal time to sell him.
Insight pageD'Andre Swift
PositiveRole59:03
Despite a poor performance last week, DeAndre Swift is still preferred as a starting running back. Fumble-related benchings are typically limited to one game, and he remains a priority start over other options.
Insight pageDarius Cooper
PositiveUsage27:01
The source recommends starting Darius Cooper over Jalen Wright in deeper leagues, noting that Cooper has a baseline of targets and red-zone involvement in the current Philadelphia offense.
Insight pageDavid Montgomery
NegativeUsage42:07
David Montgomery has been disappointing for three consecutive weeks following a strong Week 1. His touches were cut nearly in half last week (down to 10), and the team's inability to utilize him to control the clock despite favorable game scripts is a major concern.
Insight pageNegativeUsage42:07
The source acknowledges David Montgomery's potential for a bounce-back game against Tennessee if the game script favors the Lions, but ultimately ranks him behind Emmanuel Wilson due to risk.
Insight pageDe'Von Achane
PositiveValue5:31
Tara Roberts and Scott Bogman view De'Von Achane as a strong trade target in dynasty formats, suggesting that a first-round pick is a reasonable price to pay to acquire him from a competing team.
Insight pageDenzel Boston
PositiveBreakout51:57
Denzel Boston is described as an ascending player who is only a few good matchups away from becoming a weekly WR2. He is a player to float in trade discussions to see what offers he might command.
Insight pageDrake Maye
PositiveProjection24:07
The source notes Drake Maye has high upside and was ranked slightly ahead of Trevor Lawrence by one the source, making him the preferred start if a fantasy manager needs to chase a ceiling due to injuries or bye weeks.
Insight pageEmanuel Wilson
PositiveUsage12:12
Scott Bogman and Tara Roberts view Emmanuel Wilson as a strong start for Week 6, noting his high volume and explosive playmaking ability compared to other options like Emanuel Wilson or Travion Henderson, provided Rhamondre Stevenson is active.
Insight pagePositiveRole41:53
Emmanuel Wilson is the preferred start among the group because of his guaranteed volume in a strong offense; he is projected for 15+ points with 20-point upside. Recent usage shows an uptick in check-down targets, confirming the team's trust in him.
Insight pagePositiveUsage41:53
The source recommends Emmanuel Wilson as a start over David Montgomery, Ollie Gordon, and Omarion Hampton, citing his guaranteed volume in a high-powered offense and a projected 15-20 point floor.
Insight pageJacoby Brissett
PositiveProjection44:36
Tara Roberts is adjusting her quarterback rankings to move Jacoby Brissett up to the number nine spot, acknowledging that she was previously too low on him despite the team's recent performance.
Insight pageJalen Hurts
NegativeProjection39:52
The source expresses concern over Jalen Hurts, noting the Eagles' offense ranks 31st in EPA per play, leading to questions about his viability as a starter compared to other options.
Insight pageNegativeProjection45:05
Jalen Hurts has fallen to 16th in ECR. While he retains goal-line rushing upside with Saquon Barkley out, there are significant concerns regarding the team's ability to move the ball against Jacksonville in an international game environment.
Insight pageJames Cook
PositiveValue21:00
The source suggests trading Jalen Waddle and Basial Tudin for James Cook, noting that the owner is 0-4 and might be panicking, making it a good time to buy Cook.
Insight pageJaylen Waddle
NegativeValue21:00
The source suggests using Jalen Waddle as a trade piece, either paired with Basial Tudin or Aaron Jones, to acquire higher-value running backs like James Cook.
Insight pagePositiveValue50:44
Jaylen Waddle is suggested as a trade candidate to shop around, as the news of Sean Payton taking over play-calling duties might be perceived as a positive change that could lead others to overpay for him.
Insight pageJaylen Wright
NegativeUsage27:01
The source advises against starting Jalen Wright over Darius Cooper, preferring the established role and red-zone usage of Cooper in a 14-team league context.
Insight pageLuther Burden
PositiveBreakout35:03
The source suggests Luther Burden could potentially emerge as the WR1 in Chicago, noting that he is a valuable piece to acquire in a trade involving CeeDee Lamb.
Insight pageMatthew Stafford
PositiveValue19:52
Tara Roberts and Scott Bogman suggest that trading for Matthew Stafford is a smart move for teams needing quarterback stability, viewing him as a buy-low candidate who can serve as a low-end QB1.
Insight pageMichael Mayer
PositiveSleeper23:57
Tara Roberts and Scott Bogman highlight Michael Mayer as an underrated stash, noting his high route participation and the Raiders' commitment to 12-personnel sets, which keeps him involved alongside Brock Bowers.
Insight pageMichael Wilson
PositiveProjection3:22
Scott Bogman is excited about Michael Wilson's outlook for the upcoming game against Detroit, noting he has placed prop bets on the receiver.
Insight pageMike Evans
NegativeValue32:31
The source suggests Mike Evans is a potential sell candidate because he is aging and dealing with recurring injuries, despite his clear status as the team's WR1 and his remaining trade value.
Insight pageTrevor Lawrence
PositiveProjection23:42
The source prefers Trevor Lawrence over Drake Maye for Week 6, citing a safer floor and a favorable schedule post-bye week. Despite the London game, Lawrence is viewed as the reliable start against a struggling Philadelphia defense.
Insight pageTucker Kraft
PositiveBreakout30:33
Tara Roberts identifies Tucker Kraft as a potential trade target or waiver add following his recent high-volume performance, noting that the Packers' offense provides consistent yardage upside.
Insight pageTyler Allgeier
NegativeProjection47:42
Tyler Allgeier is viewed as the most likely to score among the flex options due to the high game total between Detroit and Arizona. His value could increase if Bijan Robinson's ankle injury remains a concern heading into the weekend.
Insight pageWill Shipley
PositiveUsage46:48
Will Shipley is highlighted as a volume-based flex play because there is very little depth behind him on the roster. He is projected to have the best volume among the available flex options.
Insight pageZay Flowers
PositiveValue33:07
The source identifies Zay Flowers as a high-value trade asset with clear top-10 receiver potential, suggesting he could be moved to acquire a high-end RB1 like Chase Brown.

1:10Myself and Fitzy at 5 Eastern on the third Tuesday of every month.
1:14Welsh and Ericsson normally today when we are doing this show, but they are both off today, so it is Bogman and Tara for you.
1:22Come get your questions answered and be on the show at fantasypros.com slash chat.
1:26All right, Tara, what are you looking forward to most this weekend?
1:30I am looking forward to most Arizona versus Detroit because all games against Detroit are my happy place.
1:36I know that like the Saint Tyler Chuck let us down a little bit in terms of fantasy production, but still, I
1:42mean, same general formula for these guys. It's just a lighted up scenario.
1:46And I love it that one, we're in a dome.
1:50Yay. So that's awesome. Yes. Because Arizona has been on the road.
1:53So I'm ready to see this show inside a dome and get some volume from Jacoby Percept.
1:58Yeah, I am. I'm pretty excited about that game as well.
2:02I got a couple of prop bets on Michael Wilson.
2:05So yeah, that one's going to be a really fun one for sure.
2:09And I'm, I just want to see Jamar Chase come back.
2:12I want to see Justin Jefferson come back. I just want to see some of these guys play.
2:18I unfortunately looks like no Lamar. So some Snoop Huntley action this weekend as well.
2:23And yeah, man, I'm just, I am ready for the weekend, but let's see who has some questions for us and catalyst.
2:29You are up first. What do you have for us?
2:32My friend, come on up. Hi, Bog. Hi, Tara.
2:35Thanks for having me on the show. So I'm sharing my rebuild on chat.
2:39And so as far as the picks go for next year, I'm pretty confident I'm going to get one on one.
2:46And I have a projected mid round and a late round.
2:49And I was seeing if there was some potential by lows that I could do right now with the late pick.
2:56Like I was thinking mainly of, of the Miami running back.
2:59Oh God. I already forgot his name. But yeah.
3:02Yeah. A chant or if there's a potential other target, I could go with the late pick.
3:07What are your thoughts to start us here, Tara?
3:10Is that something that you would do with knowing the incoming class is good?
3:14Or is this something where you want to hold those picks?
3:18So we're definitely holding the one on one and holding the first, but I think you have the right idea in the mid one.
3:25Um, but the, the late one, I think you have the right idea in trying to ship that one off.
3:31I was thinking about it cause I too have a rebuild and I have a Chan and I'm, and I'm, I'm not
3:38selling them cause I'm going to rebuild. But yeah, if you've got the, uh, the, the person who roster some in your
3:45league is competing, I think of a first is reasonable.
3:48You might have to, you might have to tempt it, add a little something in maybe, but I think that's a very good target.
3:55Now, uh, those first, well, I guess I'll just put a couple names here together on this list.
4:01Herbert, Gentty, Olave. Would you be willing to give up that late first for any of those three in a super flex?
4:08Oh no, those are the guys already have. Oh, those are the guys you have my bad.
4:13Yeah. Okay. Everything in chat, but I already have, I was like, man, I think I would give up a first for,
4:20uh, you know, Gentty right now if I could possibly get that, but that's your team.
4:25My bad. That's Herbert, Brissette, Gentty, Olave, Lemon, Concepcion, Loveland and Pitts.
4:28So this class, uh, and we've talked about this on the dynasty of discord a lot.
4:33Uh, this class is supposed to be insanely good specifically for super flex, but having those three picks, I think that people
4:40are starting to overvalue the first round picks in 2027.
4:43So I, I think it's a good, it's a good idea to, to see what you can get because people are now starting to overpay.
4:51So I'm with Tara. I think I would, uh, make some of those moves if you possibly can anything else for us catalyst.
4:58No, that's it. I felt like that, um, targeting, um, or running back with the late pick is probably my best move,
5:05which is why I thought of a Chan. And then I could just use my early picks for obviously Jeremiah Smith and hopefully someone else.
5:12Maybe, uh, uh, Becker. Yeah. I mean, that would be nice.
5:16I w I will say that. I think that second pick, like the first pick is definitely going to be Jeremiah Smith.
5:23I think that second pick is probably going to be a quarterback or you're going to be able to trade it for
5:29something better than what's on the board. You know what I mean?
5:33Because quarter there's going to be a decent amount of quarterbacks coming out here.
5:37So I think, you know, I wouldn't, I wouldn't trade that second, that middle pick until I get to the draft and
5:44see what's on the board when I'm picking. So, uh, because it might be worth way more than the actual skill position players there.
5:52If it's like, you know, Jeremiah Smith and then six quarterbacks straight or something like that.
5:57So, but great idea on trading, uh, flipping that last one.
6:00That's how you turn, uh, picks into actual studs.
6:03So I really liked this idea. Good work catalyst.
6:06All right, let's see who is next up to talk to us here.
6:10Joe, what is going on, Joe? How we doing?
6:12Good. How you got me too? Doing great. What do you got for us?
6:17Yes, sir. So, um, I have a, a start or set question for you guys for half PPR.
6:22Um, I just need you to pick what you guys think one for the best flex option would be.
6:28Um, I have Emmanuel Wilson, Travion Henderson, Marshawn Lloyd, Debo Samuel, or Devante Smith if healthy.
6:33I know that's a lot. Sorry. I don't think Devante Smith is going to play.
6:38So I think we can take him out. Uh, give me the first two again.
6:42It was Emmanuel Wilson and who? Emmanuel Wilson, Travion Henderson, and Debo Samuel.
6:46Hmm. Tara. Half point. Who are you looking at in half point between?
6:50I would say to me, this is between Wilson and Henderson.
6:54Yeah. And it, it comes down to what is whatever is going on with Ramondre Stevenson.
6:59And hopefully by the end of today's practice report, we'll get a little bit more detail.
7:04I assume tomorrow we'll get that final choice. But as of right now, as long as we still have Henderson in the
7:10mix, I am leaning towards going with Emmanuel Wilson.
7:13But if Ramondre Stevenson is out, he volts ahead of just because of pure volume, decent matchup with Vegas.
7:19Defense has been strong, but I mean, if the workload is purely on him, we've seen what he would do.
7:25So yes, I would put him, um, solidly ahead of, uh, Wilson.
7:29If Ramondre Stevenson is out. I agree a hundred percent.
7:32This is exactly the correct take in my opinion.
7:35Let's, let's wait and see what happens with Ramondre.
7:37If Ramondre is in there, then it's Emmanuel Wilson.
7:40He looked great last week. A lot of miss force tackles, or miss tackles force, excuse me, just more explosive plays than we've seen from Helani.
7:48Obviously they decided not to go with mixing. So Wilson is going to be the guy and have a lot of volume.
7:55But like Tara said, if Stevenson is down Henderson's, uh, value really does go through the roof and the matchups a little bit better as well.
8:03Uh, going up against Vegas versus San Francisco, whose defense has been pretty strong to start the season.
8:09So, uh, a little bit of a caveat, but I think, I think Stevenson's going to play.
8:14So I think this will end up being Emmanuel Wilson for you, but we will hold that out.
8:19If Stevenson sits, uh, it's Henderson. So. Perfect. And then, um, I just got one more thing, um, for my full point PPR league.
8:27I'm trying to figure out what would be the best RB two player, either Alvin Kamara or will Shipley, but the fantasy
8:34pros app is suggesting me to start Kamara over Shipley.
8:37And I just want to see what you guys think about, like if the fantasy pro app is suggesting you to do
8:43something, do you guys more than likely, you know, just do what the app says, or do you kind of just, you
8:50know, base it off of what you kind of think yourself?
8:54Yeah. I mean, I, they're so close, like an ECR for, uh, they're 29 and 31.
8:59In that case, I think I would probably in a PPR, actually I'm looking at half PPR ECR.
9:04So let me flip over to PPR and see if there is a difference between Shipley.
9:09Uh, yeah. And this one Shipley is 25 and Kamara is 26.
9:13So Tara, what are your thoughts about Shipley versus Kamara as your RB two in a PPR?
9:18So problem is, is that both are in terrible, terrible matchups, right?
9:22And I get the reason why in full PPR, they're putting Shipley ahead because obviously Shipley does have solid and, you know,
9:28in terms of, they'll be raising up obviously, you know, Damian Pierce and can he theoretically catch some passes?
9:34Sure. But probably not. Will Shipley's got that trust.
9:37So at the very least Shipley and Kamara are similar in the sense of the fact that they will be the primary ones getting the check downs.
9:45But the difference is, is that I think that Kamara's check downs are going, it's a much higher baseline level.
9:52So even in full PPR, I still lean towards Alvin Kamara.
9:55Again, unfortunately, this is another one that is dealing with an injury.
9:59He kind of, you know, got banged up a little bit with the knee and left the game, came back in.
10:05So he's mispracticed on Wednesday, but again, but honestly, I think he mispracticed with a back injury.
10:10So maybe this is just kind of something that is just a little management and not a major issue.
10:16I would be more than willing to risk it as long as he's cleared by Friday and go with Alvin Kamara.
10:23Yeah, I think perfect. The difference for me is that Alvin Kamara scored twice last week, right?
10:28Like I just don't really, I don't buy into him as a guy that is going to stack yards for you.
10:34So I would say that Shipley with a full run and not being questionable probably has a higher floor, but the higher ceiling.
10:42And that's typically what we want from an RB two is Kamara because he scored twice.
10:47And I think if you get near the goal line for Philly, it's just more likely going to be Jalen than it is Shipley.
10:54So that's why I would lean towards Alvin Kamara just slightly.
10:57So a good question, Joe. Thank you, my friend.
11:00Thank you. You got it. Uh, all right. We got Sully next.
11:04What's going on, Sully? How we doing? Guys, how are you doing?
11:07Great. What you got for us? So I got kind of more of a trade question for you.
11:13I'm going to drop the team in the chat.
11:16So it makes it a little bit easier. So I had a manager offer me.
11:20It's a little background. It's 14 team full PPR league.
11:24A manager offer me Matthew Stafford, George Pickens, and Rumi Dunzey sending to me.
11:28And then I would send them back Ollie Gordon and Zay Flowers.
11:32I'm not trading Zay. There's no way, but I do need a little bit of quarterback help because Caleb is out and I'm starting Aaron Rodgers this week.
11:40So I was thinking, I was just wanted your thoughts on maybe just sending Ollie Gordon kind of selling high and maybe
11:47grabbing Stafford as a low end QB one. What are your thoughts on, on that one, Tara?
11:52Trade away Ollie Gordon and get Matthew Stafford. Yeah, I'm 100% okay with that.
11:57I got scared at first. You said Zay and I was like, Oh, oh God.
12:01Yeah. But good. We're holding on to Zay upside is just too crazy high.
12:05Gordon again, like as of right now, he is the RB one.
12:09I trust it, but it is a, it's a long season.
12:13So at any point we could continue to see this maybe become a hot hand situation.
12:18So to offload Gordon right now, in order for you to secure a more stable option at quarterback is I think the right move for you for sure.
12:26Yeah. I would, I guess I would ask like, what are the, are there any quarterbacks on waivers?
12:32But if there were, you probably wouldn't be starting Aaron Rodgers.
12:35So yeah, I would say that this is a fair trade.
12:38You are selling high a little bit and Stafford, you're kind of buying low on Stafford.
12:43Dude is throwing a pick and every single game hasn't looked exactly like the guy we saw last year.
12:49So, um, yeah, I think for the way your team is structured, this is a fine deal.
12:55So. Thanks guys. You got it. Sully appreciate you.
12:57We got corn Wallace up here. What's up, corn Wallace.
13:00What can we do for you? Yeah. So I want to talk about a tight end position.
13:06It's pretty, pretty bad. I'm looking at getting Mike mayor, not for this week.
13:10I'm streaming just sicky, but like, I feel like Mike mayor is kind of being slept on a little bit based on
13:17the fact that like the Raiders run 12 personnel time that they're willing to throw out a 12 personnel a time.
13:23And Brock Bowers is effectively the wide receiver one.
13:26So they're not being deployed the same way. And, uh, I think that he was just going to make this offense better overall.
13:33So it might open more stuff up. So just wanted to get your guys' take on that.
13:38Uh, and see what you guys thought. So who is, uh, you would start mayor over who?
13:44Like, well, not this week. I'm trying to think it's like Brenton strange, Dalton Schultz, Gadsden, like all those guys who are
13:50between just sicky this week and Mike mayor. I gotcha.
13:53What, what are your overarching thoughts on, uh, Michael mayor Tara?
13:57Are you, are, are you in the, this camp, uh, as well where, Hey, look, this guy's underrated.
14:02They don't have a true number one whiteout. It's kind of Bowers.
14:06We know, obviously the ball's going to gente first and then mayor is third.
14:10Third in this offense. Or do you think he's more of sometimes third and sometimes fifth?
14:15I honestly think he has a more solid floor than Trey Tucker.
14:19Obviously Tucker would have the higher ceiling ceiling, but really and truly.
14:23Yeah. I think he leans more towards the third.
14:26It's ironic because when we needed him as the starter and he was the actual starter, he did not put up the numbers.
14:33But again, you mentioned the amount of times that he's on the field.
14:37And this was something that the Raiders talked about during the off season, the coaching staff, they were very clear that their
14:43intention was to utilize Michael mayor on the field at the same time as Brock Bauer.
14:48So I don't think it's an anomaly. This is something that they want to do moving forward.
14:54And it has been working out pretty well. I too am surprised that he hasn't been for my roof further up in ECR.
15:01He's at what height in 26 now in ECR.
15:03And looking at the guys ahead of it, I mean, it just, you got Greg Dolson guys like Greg Dolson and Britain
15:10strange, um, an unreliable Kyle pits, a Rondé Gadsden, which I totally get, but the same opportunity is there for mayor and
15:17the offense is functioning better and he's seeing more consistent targets.
15:20So yeah, I think he's a very interesting stash in deeper leaks.
15:24And to your point, Cornwallis, uh, I just pulled a PFF here and I'm looking at routes run by tight ends.
15:31Mayor is eighth. He's ahead of Friar Moose, uh, Ferguson, Loveland, Kelsey craft, likely Kosicki, Hawkinson, Waller, uh, Barner, Evan Ingram, Brenton strange.
15:38Uh, he's ahead of, so he has run way more routes.
15:41Now his route percentage is lower than some of those guys, but it's still higher than Loveland.
15:46It's higher than Hunter Henry. It's higher than TJ Hawkinson.
15:49So yeah, I, I think this is a very smart grab and stash.
15:53It's a good way to look at things here as well.
15:57And I think, and I agree. I think that him being at 26 for this week is probably too low, maybe a
16:04little bit matchup based because new England's, uh, defense, uh, you know, it is historically good, but, uh, I would take him
16:10over like pits and Gadsden and Otten and Barner and maybe even Pat Frymuth.
16:15Like these guys just aren't doing a lot right now.
16:18So I I'm with you. I think it's a great point to make Cornwallis.
16:22You got anything else for us today? I guess a quick question, since I didn't realize there was a Ramondre Stevenson issue.
16:29If Ramondre is out, would you play Denzel Boston or Henderson?
16:32I mean, if Stevenson is out, I'm going Henderson just because I think his, the volume makes the floor so high and his burst makes his ceiling.
16:41So I, but you know, I really do like playing Denzel Boston and I have Boston, uh, in a lot of my lineups this week.
16:48So it's not by like a super surprisingly high margin, but everything that Tara said earlier in the show, I think just
16:55sticks out when, when there's no Stevenson or there's you agree with that, right?
16:59Tara? Yeah. Yeah. So it's Henderson in that scenario.
17:02If there is no Stevenson. So appreciate you, Cornwallis.
17:05Good questions, my friend. And a great point to make on Michael Mayer there.
17:09So very good, very, very good point. See next is really him, man.
17:13I need better classes. This purple, this purple. I cannot read what's going on.
17:18Can you guys hear me? We got you. What do you got for us?
17:22So I have a super flex team that started.
17:25Oh, and eight. We play against the league median every week.
17:28I haven't scored above a hundred points one time, except for this last week where I had set score 43 for me and I barely cleared a hundred.
17:37So do I read alert panic and start trading Tett and Bayshall as my only two valuable options or do I stand
17:44pat and wait for Caleb to come back and maybe just try to play waivers?
17:48I was. So I'm sorry. What's your record? Oh, and eight.
17:52Oh, is it a redraft or dynasty? It's a redraft.
17:55Redraft. Okay. Yeah, I'd probably panic. I'd probably start making moves if I'm oh and eight to start, you know, one for twos.
18:02A lot of that trade Tett McMillan after this big game.
18:05I mean, I guess you do get to make up more games if you're playing to every single week.
18:11But I don't know, like starting oh and eight just feels rough.
18:15I know it's the equivalent of starting on four, but I don't know.
18:19What are your thoughts here? Tara? Are you, I think in an oh and eight oh and four scenario, I'm probably hitting the panic alarm.
18:26Yeah. Um, need to start selling off. Unfortunately, I mean, there could be value in Tucker craft as well that you could
18:33maybe do if you've got some people out there in your league that are struggling.
18:38We've got Tucker craft off the big game, clear volume.
18:41And that offense is not going to stop during love.
18:44Um, it's going to be pushing 300 yards on a very regular basis with the way that defense looks.
18:50So yeah, I would start a little fire sale there with McMillan and Tucker craft off of the high games.
18:56And yeah, you're right. You're gonna have to do two for ones you're looking for.
19:01You don't need the superstars. You need more volume so that you don't have to start guys like Dante Haymicks or even Marvin Harrison, Jr.
19:08Jordan Adelson. Yeah, that's that's uh, uh, you've had, you've had a tough story.
19:13I'm gonna start here. So, but I think don't accept any trade.
19:16It's gotta, it's gotta make your to me, uh, when you're in this scenario, you have to make a trade that makes your starting lineup better overall.
19:25So if you're downgrading for base shell to, and you need to be adding a wide receiver to right, make sure that that running back is okay.
19:33But the wide receiver has to be better than Wix or bell.
19:37Like that. That's how I would say that. Uh, same thing for trading Tett.
19:41Like you can take the step down, uh, from Tett to a different wide receiver, but whoever you get back also has to be better than Wix.
19:49So the two need to be better than your two.
19:52And that usually will make the other roster better because they're getting a starter and, you know, moving a bench piece.
19:59So it's hard to do this, but it's possible.
20:02And I think with an O and eight record, you probably need to, to start firing on it.
20:07So anything else for us? No, that's about it.
20:10Thanks, man. You got it. Appreciate you. Take it easy.
20:13Let's see who is next here. We got Grand Lake rocks.
20:17What's going on, Grand Lake? How we doing today?
20:19Doing good yourselves. Uh, how's it going today? Awesome.
20:22Awesome. All right. So I am in a 14 team, a full PPR league with the bi-weeks coming up right now.
20:29We're starting to see some actual quality players. Cause it's only three bench slots be kind of dropped with all the injuries and whatnot going on.
20:37So we actually have, um, guys like, uh, Travis H and eight ETN.
20:41I don't know how you pronounce it. And yeah.
20:43Yeah. A-chan, uh, Jalen Warren got dropped, but I'm four and O.
20:47So I'm not going to be able to, uh, get them basically, but I'm looking to just try to upgrade with everything going on.
20:54And so, you know, I'd been trying to get the, the genti owner to bite on something.
21:00They're Oh, and four, but would you do something like Jalen Waddle and Tudin maybe for James cook?
21:05Cause you can go and get, uh, you know, ETN on waivers probably.
21:09Um, with the IR slot. Yeah. That, that is.
21:12So I love this type of short bench league where people start to panic and, uh, and throw out some good players.
21:19I'm, I'm in a big money league that that's like that with one of my, my friends.
21:24It is, it's hard, you know, knowing when to buy, uh, because that's also no fab.
21:29It's like a waiver priority thing. So if you pick somebody up, you go to the bottom trades in these type of
21:36leagues with good players on the wire are some of my favorites to do because you can do that where you trade
21:43two guys for one, but it's never really two guys for one.
21:46It's the two guys you move, you get the one good one back and you get somebody for free off the wire.
21:53So free in most cases, I would say. So, uh, what are your thoughts on this Tara?
21:58Yeah, I 100% agree with you. I'm fine with that combination for cook.
22:02I would also, you know, tell you, you have the ability to also try and shop around Aaron Jones in combination with Waddle as well.
22:10Just don't settle for, you know, getting rid of tootin just because long-term I would rather have tootin on roster than Aaron Jones.
22:17And I think Aaron Jones is in a little better by high position.
22:21And maybe you can sneak one over on somebody that's panicking because at some point Jordan Mason is going to be out.
22:28So my favorite combo would be Aaron Jones and Jalen Waddle, but I don't mind the Aaron Jones and Basial tootin one.
22:35I agree. Awesome. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's it for me.
22:38Thank you so much. You got it. Thank you.
22:41Grand Lake. Appreciate you. Uh, before we move on to the next question here, I need to tell you guys about this new prediction market called poly market.
22:49It's a stock exchange for sports buying in and selling out on your terms.
22:54When your team goes down to 20%, you can buy in and sell it off at 40%.
22:59When they come back to double your money, they're so confident.
23:02You'll never go back to the other guys. They're giving you a free $25 in your first trade.
23:08We need to pause it just $10. And now they've launched a new feature squads, a group chat where you can see what everyone is trading on.
23:16So download the poly market app today and use the code F P pod.
23:20When you sign up, that's F P pod to get $25 free.
23:24We need to pause it. Just $10. All right.
23:27Next up here is bucks, man. What's going on bucks, man.
23:30How we doing? I got two questions here. Uh, one is an attempt at a 10 man standard league.
23:36Uh, one of my league mates, they, I guess the panic drop Drake made last week before, uh, they beat the bills.
23:43So I picked them up. Uh, so I have him and Trevor Lawrence and I'm wondering who shall start this week.
23:49Looks like they're back to back ECR. And my thing with Trevor is it's like every other week he, he plays like, okay.
23:56And then the other week he plays really good.
23:59So I'm trying to decide which one to start this week.
24:03Well, what, what's your thought there? Uh, Tara Drake may versus Trevor Lawrence.
24:07And like, like Buck said here, they, they are back to back in ECR at.
24:11Or I guess they're not. It's Trevor Lawrence at six and Drake may is at eight, but they are close.
24:17They're both QB ones. Are you a Lawrence versus Philly or may against the Raiders?
24:22I am trusting Lawrence a little bit more. Cause there's a lot going on with Philly, right?
24:27The defense hasn't been as strong as it's been in the past.
24:31Some odd performances from the secondary. And then of course we've got the struggles on offense.
24:36We don't know if we're getting Devante Smith back.
24:39No sake one. So perhaps some more struggles on offense, create more opportunities for the Jags offense to be on the field where the Philadelphia defense down.
24:47So overall, once we get through the entire game, Trevor Lawrence comes out on top and they're just so deep at receiver.
24:54So yeah, I mean, Lawrence hasn't been pushing aggressive volume and like for anyone, just like, don't panic on that.
25:00Right. Because they're in the difficult part of their schedule.
25:03Once we get back from their bi-week, I mean, it's just layup after layup after layup in terms of fantastic matchups.
25:10So the higher volume days are ahead. So I don't know in this matchup, we're still going to get Trevor Lawrence going
25:16over 30 attempts, but he's been so efficient. I'm okay with leaning into him as the safer option.
25:22Yeah. I would say Trevor Lawrence is definitely safer, but this is the London game.
25:27Anything to that? Or is it just say, look, the Jaguars, that's basically a home game for them.
25:32They've done it so many times. Yeah, they're very experienced at it.
25:36So I mean, I know sideways things can go very sideways with Lord last week sideways with these international games, but I
25:43do trust them as a team a little bit more and I'm still okay with it.
25:48So yeah, international game, not deterring me too much from Trevor Lawrence.
25:51Yeah. I think I have made one spot ahead of Lawrence this week, but it's not like, this is such a coin flip.
25:58And all the things that you said about Philly apply.
26:01And it's not just about, you know, Trevor Lawrence having a good game against this defense.
26:06It's also like, how long is Philly's offense going to hold the ball?
26:10They're down three offensive linemen, their best wide receiver, their best running back, right?
26:15Trevor Lawrence is going to hold the ball a lot and that can make the passing volume go up as well.
26:21So I'll co-sign on this. I do have may slightly higher, uh, just because I'm excited about how good he looked last week, but I'm fine.
26:29And rolling Lawrence Lawrence definitely gives you the higher floor in my opinion as well.
26:34So if you're looking for floor to me, it's definitely Lawrence, but if you need to play the upside, if you have
26:41bi-week issues or injuries or stuff like that for ceiling, I would start may.
26:45So that's how I would break it down. So anything else for us, Buck?
26:49Yeah. Yeah. One more question. Uh, so this one's in a different league.
26:53It's a 14 man half PPR league. And I'm struggling with, uh, some injuries.
26:58So my flex position, I have, um, Darius Cooper or Jalen Wright as, as a flex.
27:02Yeah. What do you think on that one? Uh, Tara Darius Cooper versus Jalen Wright.
27:07Like I'd say what for a 14 man as your last flex spot, not the worst.
27:12And I'm playing in 16 mans too. So I have made much more gross decisions than this one.
27:18Uh, I think it probably has to be Cooper right now.
27:21Right. Or, or would you go with volume for Jalen Wright Tara?
27:25No, I would go with Cooper. And oddly enough, I probably feel more comfortable with it than I should.
27:31Again, this is for deeper leagues, right? But I feel more comfortable with it because of what we saw last week.
27:37And, and, you know, Hey, perhaps Philadelphia decides that they want to make some offensive vision changes because it didn't quite work last week.
27:44But my gut tells me that they stick with the same concept that they had of, they're not really adjusting a Kyle
27:51and roll and pushing him to the outside. They're not tilting more volume to Don Tavian wicks.
27:56They're just doing a replacement of we're shoving Cooper in there and we're rolling with this offense as we use it on a weekly basis.
28:04So that does give him a certain baseline of targets and he seems to have for the end zone.
28:10So that's cool. So if he's getting those looks, they don't have a reliable, consistent tight end.
28:15I know, you know, we're still waiting to see, you know, Zach arts get up to speed and whatnot, but yeah, I
28:22think maybe he's that bigger presence in the red zone and touchdown dependent, but those touchdowns are going to be there, especially
28:29because we expect Jacksonville to be able to push the ball while still on this defense.
28:34So I'm okay with going with Cooper rather than right.
28:37Just risking the, this it big, the Ollie Gordon show because he's got the hot hand coming into the game.
28:43What if, what if you threw Cody white into this wrench?
28:46Uh, the Cody white wrench in here. When you start Cody white over Darius Cooper.
28:51By Monday night, the advice is in your lineups are locked.
28:54And all you can do is watch. Maybe you're protecting a one point lead.
28:59Maybe you need 12 out of your flex, or maybe your opponent has one kicker left.
29:04And now every field goal attempt feels personal. Make one part of the night.
29:08Perfect. Get DiGiorno pizza ready for kickoff. Then settle in, enjoy restaurant quality pizza from your own oven and stay locked into the matchup through the final snap.
29:17You don't want to step away when one target, one touchdown, or one unnecessary point can decide your week by DiGiorno pizza on the weekend run.
29:25So you at least know Monday night dinner is covered.
29:28Rankings can guide you. Waivers can save you. But once the game starts, fantasy brings the chaos.
29:33Dinner doesn't have to, it's not delivery. It's DiGiorno.
29:36It's the difference between trying to talk to your friends over the music at a bar and having dinner where you can
29:43actually hear each other between getting food delivered and cooking something, you know, she's going to love.
29:48It's the difference between a rough nicotine pouch and on plus nicotine pouches with Niko silk mesh.
29:53No corners, no rough edges, just the softest pouch on the planet on plus nicotine pouches.
29:58It's the difference that changes everything. Not all varieties available in all geographies.
30:02Warning. This product contains nicotine. Nicotine is an addictive chemical.

30:25That's still main towards Cooper. I think so too.
30:27With all the injuries that they have right now, I think I would roll with Cooper as well.
30:33But I just ask that question because Scott Bogman may have an issue where he has to start Cody White in the league.
30:40So, but Cooper, I think Cooper's on the wire there too.
30:43I'm like, man, this is, this is where we're at, but good question here.
30:48I like the deep questions bucks, man. Good stuff there.
30:51Appreciate you, my friend. Um, you got it. Uh, let's see who is up next buzzard.
30:56What is going on buzzard? Uh, what can we do for you today?
31:00My friend, how's it going? You guys, can you guys hear me?
31:03We got you. I love this picture with the orange cat too, by the way.
31:08Thank you. I'm dropping my team in the chat.
31:11I need help at running back. I want to see, like, is there anything you guys would do to help me upgrade at running back?
31:19Cause I'm in dire deed. Let's see. We got Bucky Corum lamb, Evans, Kittles, Zay Santos.
31:23And then what's the bench here. We got Barkley.
31:26It was hurt. John Johnson, McKay, lemon Shipley Hill, Brooks and Tyson.
31:30So I it's, it's injuries here. I mean, I do think Barkley is going to be back next week.
31:36So yeah, I think you'll be okay. But with, with this squad, it would probably be dealing.
31:41If you do want to upgrade an RB spot, it's probably dealing from your wide receiver depth.
31:46Right. Tara. Yeah, I agree with that one. I mean, ultimately long-term your team should play out well, but moving on from.
31:53Yeah. Just trying to make sure that you're, you have the ability to start someone other than Blake Corum because the volume
32:00has just dipped to no consistency for him to help get you by for right now while Barkley is out.
32:06Cause hopefully next week, but you know, uh, but you've also got Will Shipley on there.
32:11So, you know what, this is more of a shop at around kind of situation because technically speaking, you can just roll
32:18with Shipley this week with Bucky Irving. If you want to go that direction and uncomfortable with Corum's floor being a little
32:25bit low and then shop around the wide receivers.
32:27Mike Evans still has good trade value, um, because of perception of him.
32:31And he is the clear wide receiver one of that team, but it's not the worst thing in the world to move
32:38off of him because we do know that he is, you know, older continually getting banged up and he's gutting through it,
32:45but we worry about these injuries, you know, that keep plaguing him.
32:49So perhaps it's a nice sell situation for you to get back a decent running back that you can actually ride.
32:55All right. Sounds good. I appreciate you guys. You got it.
32:58Tara, let me ask you this off, off of this question would now be a good time in a scenario like this to possibly trade Zay flowers.
33:07He's got lamb. He's got Evans. I don't particularly want to trade Zay flowers, but his, but his value is very high right now.
33:14And Lamar is starting to deal with these injuries again this season.
33:18So is this maybe the time to start looking, you know, or at least floating the idea of trading Zay flowers just
33:25to see what type of offers you would get.
33:27I'm I love Zay so much, but I think it is worth it.
33:31I've been enjoying the I've been enjoying the fantasy post trade market values because that allows you to get like a direct
33:38one for one look at the value of a receiver like Zay flowers.
33:42I mean, he's got clear top 10 value right now.
33:45So you are trading him at a high and he can yield you an actual RB one depending on what route you wanted to go.
33:53I mean, it might be shooting a little bit, but considering the true upside that Zay has, you could go for a Genty.
34:00So he is going to yield you an RB one.
34:03So if you want to go that route and you feel comfortable rolling with your wide receivers, because you're super safe with
34:10CD and you would rather just make that transition to get you a clear RB one Zay is a reasonable add to
34:17really get you into that Chase Brown and above range of running backs.
34:21Yeah. Chase Brown is kind of the example I was thinking of.
34:24I think that's probably I mean, if you could get Genty, I would do that all day.
34:30That's just like so many touches so much floor for Genty.
34:33But Chase Brown, I think, is looked down at right now because he just hasn't put up big numbers quite yet.
34:40And he's still really good running back and still kind of the solo running back there.
34:45Right. Like I know they use Brian, too, but he's the he's the volume king there for sure.
34:50Austin, you are up next. My friend, what do you got for us, Austin?
34:54So in my Superflex dynasty, I just threw my team in the chat.
34:58I was offered I would trade CD lamb for Luther Burden and three first round picks.
35:03Two of those first round picks would be late this year, though.
35:07I was wondering if you think that would be enough because I have like no running back depth right now and I
35:14have a pretty good team, but like I don't have a ton of depth just in general.
35:19I was wondering if you think like is Burden plus the three first enough or do you think I should be asking
35:26for more or do you think with this team I should just hold on to lamb?
35:31Man, I think. I think Burden and three firsts is is enough, and I'm not one.
35:36I'm not one to trade a guy like lamb when he's doing this stuff specifically if I think I can win.
35:42But I see your point about you like your second running back spot is in question now because at Chen is hurt.
35:49Corham's not getting volume. Hampton is split between two other guys right now.
35:53But the rest of your wide receivers are still really good.
35:56Nico Pickens lad Terry and you're going to add Burden back into that group and you get three first round picks back Tara.
36:04I just think this is almost this is a Godfather trade, right?
36:07Like this is one that you want to say no to because lamb's your best player, but it's it's too good to refuse.
36:14Yeah, and I knew you were going to say yes when I heard those picks.
36:19I'm like he is definitely going to say yes on this one because again, I mean, yeah, we've still got a long
36:26way to go in season and obviously the classes can flip on a dime, but we do feel really really good about this wide receiver class.
36:34So that many first is it going to yield you a CD lamb specific?
36:38I mean, obviously we don't know what it could be.
36:41Could it could be a CD lamb? Maybe not, but at the same time, that's a lot.
36:46So I could absolutely move on that. I think you've got the right idea for sure because you know, as Boggs mentioned,
36:53you're just very deep at wide receiver in terms of guys who are having down years right now, like lad, but still
37:00have the potential to yield value in the future.
37:03And Austin, do you still have your first round pick for 27 as well?
37:07So you'd have three 27 first. Yeah, I have my first round pick, but I don't have my second or third.
37:14So I don't have another pick until the fourth.
37:16If I don't do this trade. Okay. I mean, but also what, what this could do is this could, you could take
37:23two of these picks and potentially move up to get a guy that you want a running back.
37:29That's coming out. Maybe to shore that up, you know, a wide receiver.
37:33Uh, maybe you're, maybe you're picking three with your pick and you could take the other two and move up to get Jeremiah Smith.
37:40So I think just getting those picks also gives you a lot of flexibility in what you want to do with this
37:47roster, which is probably add a little more depth to quarterback because behind me it's Daniels.
37:52Who's obviously injury prone pen X who's had injury issues and Kyler who is not working out in Minnesota yet.
37:58So I just think that this, this trade gives your roster a lot of flexibility.
38:03You're trading the best player on your roster, which is always hard to do, but I think it gives you so much
38:09roster move or so much flexibility moving forward for this roster.
38:13I think, I think it's, it's that Godfather deal that you kind of have to say yes to.
38:18So I would definitely do this trade. So I was thinking the same thing.
38:23And with the way Odoone's eight hasn't looked that great.
38:26I feel like there's a chance that burden ends up being the number one in Chicago also.
38:31So it definitely could be, I think they're both still going to be good.
38:35I mean, we've seen them with, you know, what is it?
38:39Two games of, uh, Caleb Williams here and then backups.
38:42So, you know, I think there's still like, oh, doing's a can still rise to the top, but I think both those
38:49guys are going to be valuable and Loveland. So I just like every piece of this bears offense.
38:54So yeah, I'm, I'm pulling the trigger on that one for sure.
38:58So thanks, Austin. Great, great, uh, great trade you got offered and good discussion.

39:34We got three people with their hands raised. So we'll answer these questions and then get to anything we can in the chat at the end.
39:42So let's see who is up next. It is Steven.
39:45What's going on, Steven? What can we do for you?
39:48My friend, I am just having some questions cause I am fine.
39:52I think I am out on, on Jalen hurts and I want to make sure I'm not crazy for actually starting Jacoby Brissett.
39:59The Eagles have like one of the word, I think it's like their EPA per plays 31st on offense or something like that.
40:06Something atrocious. I think the only team that's works in them is the bucks.
40:10Am I crazy for saying I want a piece of this Arizona Cardinals offense?
40:15I have Brissett at seven this week and I have Jalen hurts at 12 at quarterback.
40:20So the matchup is just too good. It's the first thing Tara brought up when I asked her what she's looking forward to this weekend, right?
40:28Is watching this lions and Cardinals game. Oh, sorry.
40:30I jumped onto the show late. So I, no, no, no, no.
40:34I w I was handing that to Tara. My bad.
40:37I wasn't scolding you. I was not scolding you.
40:40I promise that was a handoff. Well, I do have, since we just did already cover that, I do have a second question.
40:47If we wanted to cover that instead, please, please.
40:50Yeah, go ahead. Of course. So I have the best running back in football as my RB one, not the best fantasy
40:57football running back, but the best running back in football, B John Robinson.
41:01And I've got a bunch of others as my RB two.
41:04And I'm debating whether I should start Emmanuel Wilson who had a great week last week, Ollie Gordon, Omarion Hampton, and unfortunately drafted him super high.
41:12David Montgomery. Oh man. Uh, lay, lay him out one more time.
41:16Give us all four real quick. Of course. Of course.
41:19David Montgomery, Emmanuel Wilson, Ollie Gordon, Omarion Hampton. Who, who is it?
41:22Just some solid running back options. We're picking one, correct?
41:26Just one? Yes. Picking one to start next to B John.
41:29All right. Uh, Tara, who do you have out of that group?
41:33It is Emmanuel Wilson for me. I'm going on with the guy with the guaranteed volume in the best offense, um, between that grouping.
41:40I know that, you know, maybe the matchup with San Francisco makes it like a little bit closer, but, and you know,
41:47we're looking at a guy like David Montgomery, you can make the argument saying, okay, Hey, we've got a matchup against Tennessee.
41:54It's generally been a matchup where Houston should finally be on the right side of a game script to be playing from ahead.
42:01And then they can, yeah, hopefully, and then they can, um, run the ball with David Montgomery.
42:06Maybe we'll get back to that week one version, but I can't, I just can't take that risk.
42:12When you have an Emmanuel Wilson, that is more than likely going to be beating a solid 15 plus and could hit that 20 range.
42:19Again, the only thing that could maybe hurt him is, you know, San Francisco's offense is so strong that it can make
42:26it me or maybe the game script flips. But even then, so we did see an uptick and check down usage from him as well.
42:34So they, they like him and this is where it should have been for the first couple of weeks in terms of using Emmanuel Wilson.
42:41So it's, it's Wilson that I trust the most of that group.
42:45Yeah. And looking at ECR, uh, we got Wilson at 17 David Montgomery at 23, Ollie at 25 and Hampton at 26.
42:52And I'm, I'm pretty similar. I believe I have Wilson at 18.
42:56I have Hampton at 21. I have Montgomery at 24 and Ollie at 25.
43:00So I do think David Montgomery could have a bounce back, but I just don't know how, like it's been three weeks in a row.
43:08He's been terrible. Awesome week one and three awful weeks in a row.
43:12I don't know how it can't be Emmanuel Wilson out of this group.
43:16And like kind of to your point, they dropped his touches by like nearly half.
43:20He had 20 in week one. And I think last week he had what?
43:2510, something like that. Yeah. Yeah. That's, that's, that's, that's the game script stuff Tara was talking about too, where it's like, you should have this lead.
43:33So if you're beating Tennessee, who is bad and you have this lead, you should be able to turn around and hand
43:40the ball off to Montgomery to beat them up and wear them down for the second half.
43:45But you know, the way, the way the defense has been playing CJ Stroud had one of his best offensive games in the regular season ever last week.
43:54So it shouldn't be like this with that defense, but the defense has been miserable.
43:58So I don't know if Tennessee is going to put it together against them, but everybody else has.
44:04So it's just very surprising the way things have gone in Houston so far.
44:08So yeah, I think we're both on, uh, Emmanuel Wilson out of that group.
44:12You got anything else for us, Steven? No, perfect.
44:15I appreciate you guys. That's who I had in.
44:18And I was just, I, I wanted to make sure I was, I was in the right thing.
44:24So I appreciate both of you guys have a great rest of your day.
44:28You got it. Thank you. And Tara, just to, to make sure we're, uh, on your quarterback rankings, how high is Brissette this week for you?
44:36You're slightly higher, um, which is probably putting me to shame.
44:39It's that tells me that I need to adjust and get up.
44:43I'm just like giving like a slight deference to Drake may still off of the big game.
44:48So yeah, I've got him at, at nine right now, but honestly, I realized that I, you know, probably just need to
44:55go ahead and bite the bullet and move him up to where he should be his rightful place.
45:01Yes. And it's funny. Jalen is Jalen's fallen back to 16 in ECR.
45:05I didn't realize he was that low. Like, I still do think that if they get near the goal line, he can
45:11score a couple of rushing touchdowns specifically with Barkley out, but how are they getting there against Jacksonville?
45:17Right. I think that's the question. And it is a weird early London start for Philly.
45:22Who's not used to this. Like the Jaguars are.
45:25And it's basically going to be a Jacksonville home game, even though it's an international territory.
45:30And I know it's technically a Jags home game anyway, but they're just there so often people get behind them.
45:36So, uh, yeah, great questions there. Uh, appreciate you, Steven, uh, Ronan, you're up next.
45:40My friend, what do you got for us? Ronan?
45:43How are we all doing? Great. Uh, two quick or two questions, really.
45:47The first one's about this week. Trying to find a person for my last flex spot.
45:52Got like Algier, Cooper, Shipley, JCM. I mean, who's, who's the person to go with this week?
45:57Do you think? So Algier, Shipley and Ja'Cory Krosky-Meritt, who are you picking between those three, Tara?
46:03Oh, it is in an ideal world. JCM. I know again, you know, he's was listed with a groin injury.
46:09We'll, we'll see. Obviously things have not been super effective for him.
46:12Although last week was just a strange situation. And I think we should get him back up a little bit higher in carries.
46:20Last week was low nine carries. And obviously the, in the, um, addition of Austin Eckler is maybe making us panic a
46:26little bit, but JCM should still have the bulk of the workload on the ground and a much better matchup against the giants.
46:33So I would still lean JCM just for overall better team environment, especially with Jane Daniels back.
46:39Man, I, I just can't do it. I'm, I think I'm low ranker on JCM this week.
46:44Overall, I am at 37. I do have Algier at 35 against Detroit.
46:48Whose defense has just been bad. And I have Will Shipley at 31 against Jacksonville, just because there's no other running backs there.
46:55I think it's Jaden blue is behind Will Shipley right now.
46:58So, uh, there's just not a lot on the roster behind him.
47:02So I just think for volume for me, it'll be Shipley.
47:05I just JCM being questionable, maybe Rashad white back.
47:08Uh, I, I just don't trust Jane Daniels at all to stay healthy either.
47:13So I'm slightly on Shipley. So I don't know if we're giving you much help here.
47:17So that's okay. You know, that's kind of the coin flip I was with too.
47:22I mean, what about, uh, Darius Cooper you were talking about earlier?
47:26Would you start him over any of those two?
47:29No, I think there, I think the volume for all three of those guys is just way better than Darius Cooper.
47:35So I, and you know, I know Cooper scored a couple of times, but I think, you know, out of this group,
47:42I would say Algiers probably the most likely to score out of these guys, because that's a really high total game, uh,
47:49between Detroit and Arizona and, uh, Jeremiah loves not a hundred percent.
47:52So yeah, it is. This is a good question because the margins are razor thin here.
47:57So, um, to Corey Krosky merit is probably in the best matchup as Tara mentioned.
48:02I think Tyler Algiers is most likely to score and we'll Shipley is probably going to have the best volume.
48:08So it is, we are messing with really tiny margins here.
48:11So I would lean towards Shipley, you know, whoever your gut says, I think that's probably who you should play.
48:18So if you have like a gut feeling one way or the other, the margins are so thin, I would just go with your gut.
48:25Well, let me add this in. Please. Sorry. Let me add this in as well.
48:30Um, with the Jeremiah love injury, if he is cleared off of the plaque, uh, the injury report off after the Friday
48:37practice, I kind of have a little theory based on what Jeremiah love was saying in terms of how they're managing his workload.
48:44Is there trying to help him not get overworked and dealing with this ankle injury?
48:48We're seeing highs and lows, right? You know, high performance touches.
48:52Come down. High performance touches come down. So if we see him cleared by tomorrow and they're really just limiting and resting
48:59him and managing the carries, perhaps we get a workload increase that would make Tyler Algier less ideal.
49:04But if he's still questionable heading into the weekend, then that would be enough for me to bump Algier up and lean more into him.
49:12Okay. I love that. I love how you thought that out as well.
49:16That's, um, it's really good stuff, Tara. Um, I, cause I have not been paying attention to that, that strong.
49:22So that is, that is really good info there.
49:25Um, just lowering that practice level after the big games and then removing the injury report means he's probably going to have a little bit more.
49:33So, uh, good stuff there for sure. You got anything else for us?
49:37Ronan? Yeah. Yeah. In the, yeah. In the chat, I put my, my roster in there.
49:42I'm five and three. I've lost the last two games, but in some injuries, my question to you is I've been seeing
49:49a lot of my players on the, uh, you know, maybe sell or trade blocks.
49:53Like Waddle and Watson Smith and Swift, even, um, I'm just, is there anybody on that roster right there that you think we need to start getting moved?
50:02Uh, whether that be, you know, Devante Smith on a bad, on a sinking team or something like that.
50:08I don't, I don't know that I have like a great feeling about moving anyone here, uh, on this roster.
50:14Tara, when you look at this, tell us about Christian Watson.
50:17You're the Packers fan here is Christian Watson, a guy that we should be moving on from at this point.
50:23I don't want to write after the down game, just because there's so much negative associated with the Packers offensive line and with Jordan love.
50:31So coming, I mean, the vault, the value is still high, but I worry perception might be just a tiny bit low.
50:38So this is not the most ideal time to sell him, but you know, ironically maybe ship a shop around Jalen Waddle
50:45with the news of Sean Payton taking over play calling that might read as a super positive, big change and maybe make
50:52someone, you know, want to get overzealous and overpay for him.
50:55So maybe that's the direction, but honestly, overall, I love your wide receiver core.
50:59Um, last week was just a down week. Tampa Bay is ideal, not an ideal matchup.
51:04We are going to continue to see Jordan love pushing volume.
51:08So you've got high volume assets there in a lobby and Watson.
51:11Hopefully Philadelphia can figure things out, but at least we know that Smith is the wide receiver one.
51:17And then there's ascending Denzel Boston, who is just a few good matchups away from becoming a weekly wide receiver too.
51:23So yeah, there's, there's, there's a lot of promise here.
51:26You're, you're deep at receiver, so you can move one, but just know it's a good group.
51:32I think so too. I, and, uh, like Tara said, if you are floating, uh, some of these guys, Denzel Boston might
51:38bring you back a little more than expected right now.
51:42He might bring you back nothing, but he's the guy that might, it might be nice to float specifically if he has good week this week.
51:50Uh, and just see what type of offers are coming back to you.
51:54So good stuff, Ronan. Uh, that's everything. Yeah, that's everything.
51:57Appreciate it. You got it. My appreciate what y'all do.
52:00Oh, thank you. Uh, appreciate you. Let's see who is next here.
52:03Chinzer. What is going on? Chinzer. How are we doing?
52:07My friend. We are doing great. Look at you guys stepping up in the absence of Welsh and Erickson.
52:12Yeah. We figured y'all wanted a good show this time.
52:15So yeah, finally, that's why everybody's back. That's right.
52:18That's right. What do you got for us? My friend.
52:21Two questions. One, I made a trade in a 14 team full PPR league where to start two running backs.
52:27My running backs were awful. So I probably gave up a little too much.
52:32I gave up neighbors, David Montgomery and Ramondre. And I got back Gentie and then just Blake Corum.
52:37What do you guys think about that? Give it to me one more time.
52:42So I gave away neighbors, Ramondre and Monty. And then I got back Gentie and Corum.
52:47Yeah, probably an overpay. Who's your who's the other running back?
52:50You'll start with Gentie moving forward. It's either Corum or it's going to be Bill.
52:55The reason I gave it up is because I had Ramondre and Ramondre just had a good week.
53:00But Monty's been since week one almost a nothing.
53:03And then my wide receivers are Puka, Save Flowers and Christian Watson.
53:07And so I was like, well, I value neighbors the least here.
53:10So I got to get something reliable in the RB1 spot.
53:14And hopefully RB2 will just show up off the waiver wire.
53:17I can plug and play until then. What are your thoughts on this trade, Tara?
53:22I mean, I do think it's an overpay. But over time, it won't be just because I think we're right at the
53:29I'm I'm on the side of thinking that we're not going to see a major change in David Montgomery and this split
53:35that we're seeing between him and Woody Marks is going to continue through the end of time.
53:41And maybe it'll pop up and be good and productive and good matchups.
53:45But for the most part, I don't want any piece of this backfield.
53:49So while it may be an overpay on paper right now, it probably will work out for you at the end of
53:55the day because Ramondre's volume is unreliable for a weekly basis.
53:59And there's just such a capped ceiling more than likely with Monty.
54:02So ultimately, pivoting to Gentie will will work out for you.
54:06Just got to figure out who that who that RB2 is.
54:09But you're right. You know, guys pop up. So guys get injured and guys pop up.
54:14But yeah, dealing from the depth that you had was the good thing to do.
54:19And you also dealt like the wide receiver who might be the most injury prone out of this group as well with Malik neighbors.
54:26So, yeah, I think overpay probably. But for the structure of your roster, probably better in the long run, as Tara mentioned.
54:33So right. And I will say I'm in two 14 team leagues and it is like almost impossible to trade for running
54:40backs in those leagues with how scarce they are.
54:43So, especially with the market right now, everybody keeps going down.
54:46So I can't believe I was able to get it off.
54:49But anyway, other ones at Dynasty. I have I'm in full rebuild.
54:53My only pieces worth anything are Josh Allen, Joe Burrow and Bowers and then Christian Watson.
54:58And so I put Christian Watson on the market and I have somebody who's interested.
55:03And I have five first round picks for this next draft.
55:06Oh, nice. And he already have his first for 27.
55:09And so I was wondering on the thoughts of like, I don't know what I would even do.
55:15Like my first thought was like maybe a second for this year's draft from him and then maybe his first next year.
55:21I mean, that might even be a little steep.
55:24I don't even I don't know if he would do it.
55:28But what do you think on like the idea of like trading a player to someone whose first pick you already have
55:34and making their team a little bit better and potential her to your draft capital, even if you're acquiring more?
55:41Um, yeah, it's it's a good point to think of.
55:44But I think it's so far down the list that is not something I take into consideration as much.
55:50Right. Because this guy is already good. If he's trading in his first round pick, he's probably traded other picks.
55:56I bet this roster is probably good. And if he doesn't get the wide receiver he wants from you, he'll probably just go get it from somebody else.
56:04So, right. I don't know that I would think about it in terms of impacting your team in the long run of
56:11you're hurting yourself by doing this trade because he's probably going to hurt you by doing a trade with somebody else anyway.
56:18So if you think that the trade benefits you overall in, you know, just within the trade, I would probably still end up doing it.
56:26Uh, Tara, do you have any different thoughts, uh, in, in those terms?
56:30Yeah, I, I agree with you on that one, especially because the first would be so far out that, you know, you never know what could go sideways.
56:38So ultimately it might not even matter that you're making his team better.
56:42If you can manage to get the first and the second, I think I would make that move.
56:48Yeah. If you can get the first and the second, definitely do that deal.
56:52I just don't think you would Tara. Would you trade Watson for a 28 first straight up?
56:57Oh, I need to feel a lot more comfortable about where it was going to be because we're talking about locked in contract, right?
57:05Yep. Wide receiver one, probably a team that has zero interest in investing in another wide receiver.
57:10So this receiving core is what it is. They're going to be, they're going to be drafting linemen.
57:16So yeah, he's very safe, very, very safe in terms of his longevity.
57:20So I would need assurance that it's not going to be a very late first.
57:24And there's no way to know that. Yeah. So it feels, yeah.
57:28So I would need that second as well. Okay.
57:31Yeah. Then there's, there's two juggernauts in this league, but I mean, he's right there in that next tier.
57:37Teams like probably in that five to third best team range.
57:40So. He's trying to get up there and he's, he's going to, like, like I said before, he's going to make it happen one way or the other.
57:49So if you think, if you can get that second first, I'm pulling the trigger on that.
57:54I just, I do think that's an overpay. I don't know that they'll do it, but that's one of those auto auto takes if I can do it.
58:02So maybe the world of fantasy football balance out for my one overpay in the other league comes, uh, on his side for this league.
58:10Hey, look, that's all I got. Thanks guys. Thank you.
58:13It all seems to work out in the end, right?
58:16Like, uh, you reap what you sow, uh, is what it is for the most part.
58:21Oh, Ro, you will be our last question of the day here.
58:25My friend, what do you have for us? Hey guys.
58:28Can you hear me? We gotcha. Yes. Awesome. Uh, I'm in a, uh, 10 man full PPR league.
58:34The only one that's four and O. So feeling great about that so far.
58:38I got a quick, uh, starter sit question for you.
58:41Uh, I need a running back and I need a flex.
58:44I have Braylon Allen, uh, Deandre Swift and Christian Watson.
58:48Wanted to hear your guys' input on that. And we're starting two of these.
58:52Yeah. I, uh, I need a running back position and then a flex.
58:56See, I need two of them. Which two are you going with Tara?
59:00I still feel very good about Deandre Swift for running back.
59:03Um, I know that last week was a bummer, but you know, as we've seen with, you know, multiple I mean, Ramondre
59:10Steven is Stevenson is the perfect example punishment for fumbles usually is a game punishment.
59:15It doesn't extend into the next week. So in Swift and Monongah are both dealing with injuries.
59:20So we'll have to see what that shakes out as, but Swift is my preference.
59:25In terms of running back. And then Watson would be the flex.
59:28Same. Yeah. Uh, no argument here. So I'm, uh, on that as well.
59:32So we're rolling Swift and Watson for you. Oro, you got anything else for us?
59:37No, that was it. Appreciate you guys' input. Thank you, my friend.
59:41Uh, take it easy. And that is going to wrap it up for us.
59:45We appreciate everyone hanging out and asking your questions.
59:48And, uh, we did it. No Thursday night questions, which was the one rule that I was told over and over that we couldn't have.
59:55So, uh, thank you everyone for, uh, all of your great questions.
59:59We got some really good discussion out of this as well.
60:02And, uh, that's going to wrap it up for us.
60:06And I believe, uh, Welsh and Erickson will be back here next week for you guys.
60:10Uh, so you'll be back to your normal programming, but hopefully you enjoyed, uh, myself and my friend Tara Roberts, and we
60:17will be live on a Sunday wrapping up the week as well.
60:21So come check us out there, uh, with Dr.
60:24Deepak to go over the injuries. And that is it for us today.
60:28And we will see you guys on Sunday. Take it easy, everybody.
