Player analysis
Player insights
Blake Corum
PositiveUsage7:10
Blake Corum is sharing the backfield workload effectively with Kyren Williams, posting 12 carries for 79 yards in Week 2. He is considered a startable fantasy asset.
Insight pageBreece Hall
PositiveValue24:14
Hall is a 'buy' due to a highly favorable upcoming schedule (Detroit, Chicago, Cleveland, New England, Miami, Las Vegas) and his role in a functional Jets offense. Despite a poor rushing performance in Week 2, his pass-catching ability (5 catches, 63 yards) provides a high floor. He is currently RB17 in consensus rankings but is projected to produce closer to RB1 levels.
Insight pageChristian Watson
PositiveUsage24:13
Christian Watson is a top-18 rest-of-season wide receiver who will see highly concentrated targets in the Packers' offense while Jayden Reed is sidelined.
Insight pageDavante Adams
PositiveUsage5:48
Davante Adams is a 'turbo smash' play when Puka Nacua is out, evidenced by his 8-catch, 195-yard, 2-TD performance. He remains a top-3 to top-5 fantasy wide receiver in games where Nacua is sidelined.
Insight pageDavid Montgomery
NegativeProjection53:01
Erickson recommends selling David Montgomery, citing concerns about the Texans' offensive line and the team's overall offensive struggles in the absence of Nico Collins.
Insight pageDe'Von Achane
PositiveUsage48:42
Erickson identifies Achane as a buy, noting he has evolved into a bell-cow back who is heavily involved in the passing game, recording 11 targets over the first two weeks despite initial concerns about the Dolphins' quarterback situation.
Insight pageGeno Smith
PositiveProjection29:58
Smith is a legitimate quarterback streamer for managers dealing with injuries or missing players like Caleb Williams, as he is positioned to perform well given the upcoming matchups.
Insight pageIsaiah Likely
NegativeUsage4:06
Isaiah Likely led the Giants in targets on Monday night but was notably less efficient than his Week 1 performance.
Insight pageJameis Winston
NegativeProjection3:22
Jameis Winston looked ineffective in relief duty on Monday Night Football, completing only 11 of 27 passes for 111 yards and an interception.
Insight pageJavonte Williams
NegativeValue49:55
Erickson labels Williams a sell, noting his poor rushing efficiency (24 carries for 71 yards) despite favorable matchups against the Giants and Commanders. While he has seen some passing game usage, Erickson suggests capitalizing on his name value to secure a strong return.
Insight pageJordan Love
NegativeProjection55:57
Erickson recommends selling Jordan Love, citing the loss of Jaden Reed and a poor offensive line as significant long-term concerns for his performance.
Insight pageJustin Herbert
NegativeValue55:24
Erickson suggests holding Justin Herbert, noting that his market value has plummeted to the point where he is likely un-tradable, making a hold the only viable option despite his poor start.
Insight pageKyren Williams
PositiveUsage7:02
Kyren Williams continues to be a reliable fantasy starter, contributing both on the ground and through the air, including a touchdown reception in Week 2.
Insight pageNegativeRole50:50
Erickson views Kyren Williams as a hold, acknowledging the uncertainty in the Rams' backfield split with Blake Corum but emphasizing that Williams remains a consistent producer of fantasy points regardless of the competition.
Insight pageMalik Nabers
NegativeInjury3:38
Malik Nabers suffered an arm/shoulder injury during Monday's game that appeared to cause him significant pain on the sideline.
Insight pageOmarion Hampton
NegativeBust33:40
Hampton is a 'sell' or 'hold' candidate due to concerns over the Chargers' brutal rest-of-season schedule, interior offensive line injuries, and his lack of pass-game usage (40th in routes run among RBs). Additionally, he has fumbled in back-to-back games, which creates significant risk under coach Harbaugh. While he had a strong Week 2 box score, his underlying profile is concerning.
Insight pageParker Washington
PositiveBreakout24:13
Parker Washington is a top-8 rest-of-season wide receiver according to Erickson, boasting a 35% target share through the first two weeks. He is a must-hold asset.
Insight pagePuka Nacua
NegativeInjury9:06
Puka Nacua's injury is not expected to be a long-term issue, as he was close to playing in Week 2 before being downgraded to out.
Insight pageQuinshon Judkins
PositiveValue21:33
Judkins is viewed as an immediate upgrade for managers struggling at the RB2 spot, particularly those holding injured players like Jonathan Brooks or Marshawn Lloyd. While not a 'sexy' name, he is a bell cow who will receive consistent volume in an offense that, while unexciting, provides a stable floor. He is ranked as the RB24 rest-of-season.
Insight pagePositiveValue28:51
Quinshon Judkins is a 'sneaky buy' low candidate. Despite a slow start due to tough matchups, he has evolved into a three-down bell cow with a rising target share (16.7% in Week 2) and a favorable upcoming matchup against Carolina.
Insight pageTerrance Ferguson
PositiveBreakout5:55
Terrence Ferguson is a high-upside tight end who saw increased involvement (59% snap share, 9 targets) with Puka Nacua out. He is a fringe TE1 in weekly rankings when either Adams or Nacua is sidelined.

0:05Grainger, for the ones who get it done. Hello everybody, welcome into the Fantasy Pros Football Podcast.
0:10I'm Ryan Wormley, joined by Andrew Erickson. We are talking some running backs to buy and sell.
0:16Also throwing some quarterbacks in here as well. This is our typical trade show that we do every week in season.
0:22Erickson, we are splitting this, just so the listeners know.
0:26Last week, this was one episode. This week, this is going to be split into two episodes.
0:31It will be running backs and quarterbacks is one episode, wide receivers and tight ends is the other episode.
0:37So if you're looking to hit all the different positions, be sure to check out both episodes on YouTube and on Spotify
0:44and everywhere else you get your podcasts. Erickson, how are you doing here through week two now of the NFL season?
0:51I wish my fantasy teams were healthier. I think that we all can admit that.
0:56Where you look up this week, apparent to last week, when week one, points galore, man.
1:01Everyone was scoring so many fantasy points. There weren't nearly as many injuries.
1:06And this week, man, the matchups just like scrolling through my fantasy teams, it was brutal, man.
1:11You saw teams winning with like 70 points scored, 75 points scored total, because there were just so many low outputs from
1:18a lot of these offenses that was tied to the injuries.
1:22And I think that bearing the lead here with what happened on Monday Night Football, exactly that.
1:27The New York Giants lose Jackson Dart on the first quarter on their first possession.
1:32He takes a hit to the knee, doesn't get play for the rest of the game.
1:37Now, we got reports afterwards that confirmed that he has a sprained MCL and that it's not considered season ending or anything
1:45like that, which is really, really good. But do the MCL is still something that's really, really tricky.
1:50And when you look at how effective Dart is as a rusher, the fact that he now has a sprained knee ligament
1:58is really, really concerning, especially with how bad Jameis Winston looked last night.
2:02Like, he looked nothing like the Jameis Winston that is the YOLO ball guy, 11 of 27 for 111 yards and a pick.
2:09The Giants basically could do nothing offensively. They were gifted a red zone possession after Kyrie Williams fumbled, and they couldn't even punch it in for a touchdown.
2:18So Malik Nabors also got banged up in this game, suffered this like arm shoulder injury where he was getting looked at
2:26on the sideline, looked like he was in a lot of pain.
2:29I'm not sure if it's like his shoulder like got knocked out of the socket and they'd like pop it back in or something like that.
2:38So just a really bad game overall from the Giants.
2:41Really, unless Cam Scadaboo was getting the ball, they didn't really do a lot.
2:46Isaiah Likely, target leader for the Giants, but way more inefficient than he was in week one when he was basically perfect with Jackson Dart as his quarterback.
2:55So those are some takeaways from the Giants side from Monday night.
2:59Yeah, I feel like if you're looking at this game as a whole, the micro level takeaway, the short term takeaway is the injuries to the Giants.
3:07The macro level takeaway is the Rams seem to be OK.
3:11Now they were going up against a team with their backup quarterback and, you know, missing their best receiver at a certain
3:18point in the game and all that stuff. So, you know, take it with a grain of salt.
3:24But there was some degree of, hey, are the Rams maybe not all that in a bag of chips like we thought
3:31they were going to be over the summer? And they looked a lot more like the team we kind of expected going
3:38up against a team that had looked very good in week one itself in the Giants.
3:43You know, obviously, like you kind of hit on these injuries on the Giants side.
3:48But, you know, the Rams, like Devontae Adams, the biggest story, obviously eight catches, 195 yards, two touchdowns looking like prime Devontae.
3:55And Terrence Ferguson, a guy that I talked about all summer long on the Dynasty show with Fitz and then started to
4:03talk about on the redraft shows by the time we got to August as a player that I really liked as a late round tight end.
4:11Absolutely my favorite late round tight end this season.
4:14And he went six catches, 54 yards and a touchdown after a poor week one.
4:19Stafford looking a lot more like his MVP self, right?
4:22327 yards, four touchdowns. Kyron Williams gets in the end zone, thankfully through the air because he didn't on the ground like he usually does.
4:30But he and Blake Corum just continue to be like the same player.
4:34Basically 12 carries, 85 yards for Kyron, 12 carries, 79 yards for Blake Corum.
4:39So, yeah, the Rams winning 28 to 6, like definitely felt like more of what we expected to see out of the Rams.
4:46Even if this was maybe a lighter opponent than we expected going into the night, Erickson.
4:52Yeah, Devontae Adams when Puka is out is just a total turbo smash of a play.
4:57And I was not high on Adams during the season.
5:00But in the back of my mind, this was always the worst case scenario when Puka Nakua was forced to miss time.
5:07Whether it's injury or suspension, I knew that I was totally screwed in games where Devontae Adams is going to play in the featured wide receiver one role.
5:16So, did layer on some touchdown bets for Devontae Adams because I knew that I was going to get absolutely cooked in
5:23terms of fantasy rankings with Devontae Adams. Although I did rank him pretty high this week because there was that late news about Puka Nakua not playing.
5:32And this is usually what we get when Adams is put into that role.
5:37Happened last year when Puka Nakua missed a game, I think, against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London.
5:42And Adams scored three touchdowns in that game. So, we shall see.
5:46It seems like Puka was at least close to playing in this game.
5:50I know that he downgraded to out as the week progressed.
5:54But it doesn't seem like it's going to be a long-term thing.
5:58We'll see what happens with Puka. Obviously, Adams is a top five fantasy wide receiver.
6:03Top three. He's up there if Puka is going to miss time.
6:07And Ferguson, I would even say, too, he left some production on the table last night.
6:12There were a couple drops for him where he had open space to run.
6:16Stafford hit him on a really quick pass where he just basically wasn't ready for the ball to get there.
6:23But I do think that it is a positive trend for him that with Puka out, they invited more opportunities for their young second-year tight end.
6:31And for the most part, he did deliver again.
6:34There's always going to be growing pains with some of these younger players.
6:39But the fact that they put him into a larger role, playing 59% of the snaps.
6:44Still behind Kobe Parkers in terms of total snaps played.
6:47But in terms of the routes, targets, it was very obvious that they were trying to get their tight end more involved.
6:54And he is kind of like their de facto wide receiver three on this team.
6:59Which is, there's no Tutu Atwell or these other guys really getting a lot of action because those guys aren't special in any way.
7:07Like, Ferguson at least has another element and dynamism that he can add to this Rams passing attack now when they also get back Puka Nakua.
7:15So, the Kyron thing and Blake Corum thing is also so just, it's so crazy, man.
7:20Like, both the guys just absolutely smashed. Josh Kyron gets the touchdowns in the past game work.
7:26But Corum is a little bit more explosive. Even though in this game, they were both just like ripping off big runs against this Giants deep.
7:34I made the joke on X which people didn't like.
7:38It was like, Blake shot out of a Corum.
7:41You know, I like the phrase. Like, Blake shot out of a cannon.
7:45But, uh... I like that. I thought it was okay.
7:48And then I guess I just logged off after then, so...
7:52It's not your all-time best, but I did like it.
7:55Not my best work. They both look great. And they're both scoring fantasy points.
7:59So, you just keep starting them until proven otherwise.
8:02Yeah. In any week where Puka is not playing, where are you ranking Terrence Ferguson?
8:07Because I feel like this is proof of concept of, like, when either receiver...
8:12Devontae Adams is older. Puka has all his stuff going on.
8:15If either of those guys is ever not in a game, I feel like it is very clear.
8:21Ferguson... Like, this is what I expected it to look like in terms of target share in those types of scenarios.
8:28Devontae Adams, 10 targets. Terrence Ferguson, 9 targets. Nobody else more than 2.
8:32That is what I would have expected before the season as somebody who was projecting this Ferguson breakout.
8:38So, to see it play out that way, even though Ferguson did leave some of that production on the table, like you
8:45said, is, you know, obviously highly encouraging. So, in any game where one of Devontae or Puka is not on the field, in that week...
8:53Like, you can't... It's hard to say for a rest of season ranking what you're doing with Ferguson because you just don't
9:00know how many games are going to have one of those guys out.
9:05But in those games when they happen week to week, where do you think you'll be ranking Ferguson amongst tight ends?
9:11Probably a top 15 tight end at least. Oh, I don't think that's aggressive enough.
9:16I was going to say, like, top 10, honestly.
9:19If one of those two is out in any of those weeks, I think it'll look a lot more like this.
9:26Low end fantasy tight end one. Yeah, that's probably the right range for him.
9:31Obviously, it's going to depend on the week in certain matchups.
9:34But when you just look ahead at the schedule for the Rams and just correct me if I'm wrong here, Warren, but
9:41I want to make sure I have the right matchups.
9:45Week three, they're playing at the Denver Broncos. So, that's on the road.
9:49You look at where are the strengths of this Denver Broncos defense.
9:53It's in their secondary, right? They have a really, a lot of talented cornerbacks.
9:57If Puka's out in this game, you have Devontae locking up with Sertan.
10:02Like, that's obviously going to happen. And that leaves Terrence Ferguson against some of these other defensive backs and linebackers where he can be a mismatch.
10:10So, Terrence Ferguson, definitely, if he's floating out on waivers, maybe he got dropped after week one because he didn't do a lot.
10:17This was obviously a step in the right direction.
10:20And, yeah, there's more meat on the bone here with Terrence Ferguson.
10:24You're right. Yeah, probably like a fringe fantasy tight end one in the weekly rankings if Puka or Adams miss any more time.
10:32Yeah, I'm looking at the names that are in that range right now in terms of the rest of season rankings.
10:39It's like Travis Kelsey. How is he going to hold up over a full season at his age?
10:44Harold Fanna Jr., major quarterback question marks. I'd say likely maybe we'll have some, you know, quarterback question marks here this year.
10:52If Dart misses time, Kittle's older too. Jawan Johnson and Dalton Schultz we like in their own ways.
10:57But there's, you know, it's like they're superstars. So, like, those are the guys who are ranked 9 through 13 in the tight end rankings.
11:05I think Terrence Ferguson easily belongs at or near the top of that group of names in weeks where Puka's out.
11:12Definitely the upside shot play with Ferguson because of what he can do from a skill set perspective.
11:18I think just his talent profile is so different than someone like Dalton Schultz where Schultz is a compiler.
11:24Like, that's what he's going to do. He's going to just get a bunch of targets.
11:30Not necessarily going to be super dynamic with those targets.
11:33I know last week he obviously had a career game.
11:36But so much of that came with in the fourth quarter when the Texans had no shot left in the game.
11:43And CJ Stroud threw the ball 55 times. That is not usually what they're going to want to do on a week-to-week basis.
11:50So, that is a very inflated total. So, again, Terrence Ferguson, Dalton Schultz.
11:55That could be an interesting trade potential. So, let's jump into the show here, Erickson.
11:59Our week three buys and sells for running backs and quarterbacks.
12:03As a reminder to everybody, as always, these are not buy lows and sell highs.
12:08They could be. But they also might be buy highs and sell lows.
12:12It is just a buy and a sell because I think there's all sorts of names that you want to be looking at trade-wise.
12:20Not just guys who are buying low and selling high.
12:23That's my weekly reminder there. Before we jump into the actual running backs, though, Erickson, some trade strategy advice.
12:29Anything high-level you're thinking about as we enter week three?
12:33Similar to last week when we talked about targeting teams that are dealing with injuries, whether it was A.J.
12:39Browns, A. Flowers, and then as the week progressed, Nico Collins was another player that missed time.
12:44Well, now, even more managers are dealing with injuries in their league.
12:48So, if you are one of the lucky managers who has a healthier roster, I think that this is a really good
12:55week to send trade offers to teams that have glaring holes in their roster that are probably debating, do I make a
13:02trade or do I try to run out the clock here with depth on my roster?
13:08And I always find that it's more beneficial to try to be aggressive here with trades because people are trying to make moves.
13:15And even if you do like the depth on your team, I think right now is an opportunity where you can make some two-for-one trades.
13:23Where, hey, I have this really talented elite player, and that's usually what helps separate you the most in fantasy.
13:30But if you are just so beaten down by the injuries and you can't put out a starting roster that feels good
13:37enough to compete, then I think that makes more sense to take one of your best assets and redistribute that into multiple starters.
13:44So, I'm always on the side that you want the best player in the deal, but in certain situations, if your overall
13:51roster is going to get better and you're getting multiple starters, I will be willing to trade off a more premier piece
13:59to get more startable assets if my team has just been bludgeoned with injuries.
14:03Are you thinking about this in the context of a specific position at all or just kind of across the board, this is the strategy you're taking?
14:12Kind of across the board, honestly. I know this past week, right, I have a dynasty team with A.J.
14:18Brown, with Nico Collins, with Zay Flowers, and they were all out.
14:22So, I had to start my depth. It's a little bit different in dynasty.
14:27So, I had guys like Octavian Wicks. I had Rashad Bateman.
14:30I had Jaden Reed. So, a couple of those plays ended up working out for me, but you may not be as
14:37lucky in your redraft league, especially if it's a deeper format 12-team league or 14-team league where these waiver-wire wide receivers that
14:44we've been talking about, maybe they aren't available to you and you really need to make a trade, whether you have a Parker Washington or Christian Watson.
14:53Those two guys in particular have been a lot of questions about, do I sell high on those players?
14:59And, obviously, I don't want to sell those players because I like both of them entering draft season and they've been big
15:06hits through the first two weeks of the season.
15:09Parker Washington looks like a top eight fantasy wide receiver rest of the season.
15:14Christian Watson is going to see concentrated targets with Jaden Reed on the shelf for a little bit.
15:20Him and Matthew Golden are just eating up in this Packers offense.
15:24But if you are dying at running back and you have a flurry of receivers because you're getting production from Watson and
15:31Washington because you drafted them in rounds five or six, then, yeah, I think you've got to make a move for a
15:38position of need based on the injuries that you're potentially dealing with.
15:42Those guys, Washington and Watson, are both inside my top 18 rest of season.
15:46Like, if I'm sitting down and actually, like, thinking out who I want, I just, I believed in them during draft season.
15:54I've seen nothing to stop believing in them. You mentioned, like, the target share is going to get even more concentrated in
16:01Green Bay, especially, and Parker Washington just looks awesome.
16:04Like, I know there's a lot of really good receivers, but there aren't 18 that I want more than those two guys rest of season.
16:12You know where I have Parker Washington rest of season rankings?
16:15I don't off the top of my head. It was pretty high when I was looking at consensus earlier.
16:22So I'm curious where you have him. Where is he rest of season?
16:26Watch receiver eight. Oh my God. Dude, he has a 35% target share for the first two weeks of the season.
16:33I'm not arguing with it. It's like, you know, it's crazy that it's like we're already here, but we're already here.
16:39Dude, like we have arrived. Some of the names in the consensus, like ahead of him, right?
16:45He's 14th in consensus. And it's like neighbors is ahead of him.
16:49Got injury stuff and quarterback questions. Zay Flowers is ahead of him.
16:53If he comes back healthy, that will probably look correct.
16:56But if, you know, who knows if the hamstring lingers.
16:59There's question marks around those guys in his range.
17:02And it's like, do you have any reservations about Parker Washington?
17:06And the answer is like, no. You're right. It's crazy how quickly we have gotten to that point.
17:12All right. Let's jump into the actual running backs we're talking about here.
17:16Erickson, we've each got a running back to buy.
17:19We'll start with yours. Who do you got? Please don't throw up any liquid that you're potentially drinking while listening to this program or watching this show.
17:27But I'm going to name a Cleveland Browns player here, Quinshon Judkins.
17:31And I was by far one of the biggest faders of Quinshon Judkins during draft season.
17:37Didn't want any part of him because he plays on the Browns, bad offense, bad offensive line.
17:42And the first two matchups of the season, I thought were really bad spots for him playing on the road against Jacksonville
17:49and playing on the road at Tampa Bay. And I was not surprised that he struggled in both.
17:55When I did my social shorts the last two weeks, Judkins was my state of the week in both of those matchups.
18:02And he did not deliver, especially as a rusher.
18:05But the conversation has changed a little bit here heading into week three.
18:09Part of the reason I like Judkins as a cheap buy is because his stock is way, way down.
18:16After two games that he did not play well in, I think that the managers are having buyers remorse about, man, I
18:23took this guy in the fourth round. I'm excited about a second year running back.
18:28What's happened here? And he's disappointed. But I think that's really due to the matchups.
18:32I really think that's why he has been so poor with his offensive line still trying to gel.
18:38But now where does he go? They're going back home to play the Carolina Panthers defense that two weeks ago just got
18:45absolutely destroyed by the Chicago Bears run game. Other thing that works in Judkins' favor, and this was the reason I didn't
18:53like him as much in draft season, was I had question marks about him as a receiver.
18:58Well, that's no longer in question because Dylan Sampson is no longer part of the equation in the Browns' back because he
19:05was put on injured reserve after week one. So his workload has been steady for the first couple weeks of the season.
19:12He's had 12 carries. Obviously, the yardage has not been there, but the target share went up significantly from week one to
19:19week two, going up from 8.7% week one, 16.7% in week two, five catches for 27 yards on five targets.
19:26So you're looking at a three-down bell cow workhorse, played 67% of the snaps last week, and you can buy him dirt
19:33cheap against the Carolina Panthers defense at home. So I think that he's a sneaky buy.
19:38Again, can't guarantee he's going to be super successful all year long, but right now if you're hurting that running back and
19:45you need a stopgap option, I think Judkins, especially as a player, I think is pretty talented.
19:51I think that he's a sharp player to buy on the cheap.
19:55This is the buy low category. I talked about at the top of the show how we can do buy highs in
20:02any sort of direction we want to take. This one, obviously, he's coming off two games where he's got 24 carries for a combined 54 yards.
20:10This is you are looking to buy low. I don't know.
20:14Emotionally, it feels really tough to say go out and invest in a Brown, especially since they got the win, meaning like
20:21Deshaun Watson maybe has a little more leash here.
20:24Like that's, that is tough to sort of rubber stamp that from an emotional perspective.
20:29It makes sense the case of what you're laying out for why you would be interested in.
20:35I'm glad you called him like a sneaky buy as opposed to like, you know, a screaming buy where you're really trying
20:42to heavily convince people to do it. He's ranked outside the top 24 running backs right now in the consensus rest of season rankings.
20:49He's dressed outside. He's RB 25. It's funny because he's a player that I didn't really like in draft season, like NFL draft season.
20:57I mean, when he entered the NFL and then he impressed me really early and I felt like, okay, I was wrong.
21:04He like is a good running back. And then now obviously a slow start to the season, but tough matchups in a tough offensive situation.
21:13Where do you think is the right spot for him rest of season?
21:17Like again, he's RB 25. I get it given what he's looked like so far and the continuing offensive environment question marks, but also a good player.
21:26You think there's brighter days ahead. Where's the right spot for him?
21:29Yeah, I think that the RB two range makes sense for him.
21:33I'm trying to check right now where I had him in my rest of season running back rankings because, you know, moves
21:40I'm thinking about making because unfortunately I have a lot of teams that have guys like Jonathan Brooks.
21:46I have guys like Marshawn Lloyd. I have. So those teams, I look at Judkins as he's like an immediate upgrade from
21:53those types of players where you have a hole in your RB two slot.
21:58Yeah, Judkins is not the sexiest name, but I have an RB 24.
22:02So I think that's pretty spot on. Let me ask you this.
22:06Would you rather have the gross committee of the New Orleans Saints with Travis Achan?
22:11Or would you rather have Quinshon and Judkins who at least, yeah, offense we're not excited about, but you know, he's the bell cow.
22:19Like, you know, he's going to get the volume.
22:22Whereas Achan, dude, they've been, they're using CJ Donaldson on third and long because he's the best pass protector on the team.
22:29And he was a free agent rookie running back.
22:32Like, I don't know what the Saints are doing.
22:35So that's a deal you can definitely get done.
22:38Easy. Achan, Travis Achan for Judkins when, so again, like that's an example and I have them back to back in my rest of season rankings.
22:46So that's something that I would maybe consider, especially if I am hurting an RB2 with Broke or something like that.
22:53I think I would just break the tie with the Saints are the better team and so I'd rather have Achan.
23:00It obviously has been quite gross. I mean, he did get seven catches in week one.
23:05So maybe the pass catching will be there more in future weeks unlike in week two.
23:10They just, they paid him so much. I'm like, how are they not using Achan?
23:15I think he's a decent player and again, it's a good team.
23:19So I think I lean Achan but I don't feel good about it.
23:23I think it's totally fair to go for Judkins.
23:26Quinchard Judkins with Bill? Brodsky, Merritt? They're five spots apart in consensus.
23:30I don't, I don't think you, if it were a negotiation involving me, I don't think you could.
23:36I would want a little bit more but I think with the right person, like I think it's worth asking.
23:42I think, I think for the right manager, again, this is also contextual.
23:46I think in your league, it could totally happen.
23:49I think that's on the table. Yeah. And then too, again, pointing out that needs are going to be the biggest things
23:57that move trades, roster needs and it's very easy to tell, especially with all the injuries, what managers need what.
24:03So a potential wide receiver for running back trade could also be a better avenue to be successful with a Judkins trade.
24:10Let me give you my running back to buy here, Erickson.
24:14It's Brees Hall and I'm going to be talking about this a bit more in the wide receivers show, which again, I
24:21hope everybody checks out since we're splitting these shows in two.
24:24But the schedule for the Jets is something I'm very interested in, particularly in the next two weeks at Detroit, at Chicago.
24:32We know Detroit, Coors Field of the NFL. You love to say it.
24:36We know Chicago. I mean, this last week with the terrible weather aside is likely to have one of the worst defenses in football.
24:44So that's a really appealing couple of weeks. And then even beyond that, Erickson for the Jets after Detroit and Chicago the
24:51next two weeks, it's Cleveland, but on the road for Cleveland, which we know the defense doesn't travel as well.
24:57At New England, pretty good defense. And then Miami and Las Vegas.
25:01That's through week eight. And then even beyond that, Buffalo's in week 10.
25:05They're a much better offense than a defense. They get Miami again in week 12.
25:10The Chargers defense hasn't looked that good. That's week 11.
25:14You know, Denver has been run on, run on all over in at least one of their games this season.
25:20That might've been more of a Kenneth Walker stat than a Denver stat, but that's on the list here too.
25:27I just think it's a really appealing schedule, really, quite frankly, for all the Jets players.
25:32And the Jets are functional, right? Like we didn't know that they would be this year.
25:37I'm not saying they're great. I'm not saying they're a playoff team, but they look functional, which A, I didn't really expect.
25:44And B, was not what they were last year.
25:47And Rhys Hall is a great enough talent to take advantage of being in a functional offense.
25:52So far this season, and I did a show, a short form with Tara Roberts yesterday, and she had this phrase that
26:00I'm going to, you know, lift from her because I think it was really good.
26:05She said that what we've seen so far from Rhys Hall is the floor, right?
26:09That's, that's what she is, is viewing him as.
26:12And I think that we can see more ceiling going forward.
26:16And she, actually, let me, to be clear, she was saying that about Garrett Wilson, but we talked about it in terms
26:23of all the Jets as kind of seeing their floor in terms of the fantasy output so far, and there's more ceiling to go there.
26:31I don't want to say that she was talking about Breeze because it was Garrett Wilson, but we, we had that conversation about all the Jets there.
26:40And I think it applies to both of them.
26:43He's been RB12 and RB13 in the first two games this season.
26:47That RB13 is despite going 16 carries for 29 yards because he has the pass catching ability as well.
26:53Five catches on five targets for 63 yards to help lift that floor.
26:57So I think he's an RB2 right now price-wise.
27:00He's RB17 in consensus rest of the season, but I think he's going to have closer to an RB1 output rest of the season.
27:08I like him as, I'll call it a buy medium right now.
27:12I don't think it's a buy low or a buy high.
27:15I think he's just a buy. Okay, sis, give me the scoop.

29:31Does Travis A. Chan get Reese Hall? That's a move that I definitely would co-sign on.
29:36I also agree with you on Reese Hall being a mega buy Jets players in general.
29:41In my Beyond the Waver Wire article for week three, which will be out when you guys are listening to this, I
29:49sign off the Jets section with, dare I say, buy all Jets, start your engines.
29:53Are we gonna land this plane? Because, dude, the schedule is so amazing.
29:58This makes Geno Smith like a legitimate quarterback streamer if you've been hurting at quarterback, you've dealt with some injuries or something along those lines.
30:06Yeah, you're missing Caleb Williams, dude. Geno Smith next couple weeks.
30:09Dude, this guy could absolutely cook given the matchups that they have upcoming and you hit the nail on the head with Breece Hall.
30:17He failed as a rusher last week, but because he's super dynamic and he has a three-down skill set, he made up for it as a receiver.
30:26So, game script proof I think is so key with some of these running backs here where it doesn't matter if the
30:33Jets are getting blown out, the Jets are destroying another team, Breece Hall is gonna get his and yeah, the occasional Braylon Allenrushing touchdown vulture is gonna happen.
30:42That happens to a lot of running backs. But, yeah, I could not agree more.
30:47Definitely. You brought the more exciting running back to the table here of who to buy.
30:52I think by far. Than my gross bi-low Quinchon Judkins play.
30:56Some of the names that are around Breece Hall that I would rather have Breece Hall than.
31:01David Montgomery is ranked very closely in rest-of-season rankings.
31:04Cam Scadaboo is three spots behind in rest-of-season rankings.
31:07Bachel Tutin obviously can be an exciting player, but he's in that range that I'd rather have Breece Hall.
31:13I think I'd rather have Breece Hall than Jeremiah Love who's two spots ahead of Hall in the rest-of-season rankings just given
31:21the respective situations and who I expect to be in at least more competitive games throughout the season even if Arizona's been,
31:28you know, they had the impressive week one. I would still rather have Kyron who's back-to-back with Breece Hall in rest-of-season rankings.
31:35I think that's too low on Kyron. DeAndre Swift, I would consider.
31:39Like, he's RB14, Hall's RB17. I consider trading Swift for Hall if I had to make that choice, especially with Caleb Williams stuff going on.
31:47The one that I would go really back-and-forth on is Bucky.
31:50They're back-to-back in rest-of-season rankings. Bucky over in reverse Breece Hall.
31:54I think I would prefer Hall, but I wouldn't fight somebody who wants to say, I think the Bucs have had just
32:01a weird first two weeks of the season and Bucky has looked good and that offense is going to get better and
32:08he's getting the usage and this will look better going forward.
32:12Like, I wouldn't fight anybody who wants to make that point on Bucky.
32:16He's also getting a ton of past game usage, but like Hall versus all those other names I read who are all
32:23within the same range as him in the consensus rest-of-season rankings, like, I'd rather have Hall pretty clearly, I think, you know, at least for most of them.
32:32No, he's a good buy and I think that he as a trade target will come up when I do my top
32:39running back to sell as a potential player you can get back.
32:43Before we get to those running backs to sell, I need to tell you about this new prediction market called Polymarket.
32:50It's a stock exchange for sports buying in and selling out on your terms.
32:55When your team goes down to 20%, you can buy in and sell it off at 40% when they come back to double your money.
33:03They are so confident you'll never go back to the other guys.
33:07They're giving you a free $50 on your first trade when you deposit just $10.
33:12So download the Polymarket app today and use FPPOD when you sign up.
33:16That's FPPOD to get $50 free after you trade just $10.
33:19Erickson, who's your first running back to sell? I should say you have both of our running backs to sell today.
33:26So give me the first one you want to talk about.
33:30Yeah, so I'm going to talk about Armerian Hampton because I have some concerns about the Chargers offense, the Chargers backfield, and
33:37I think it's really worth discussing, especially with Hampton being a player we actually talked about last week where you talked about
33:44him as a buy and I think that we kind of dove into some of the futures for this Chargers team.
33:51Obviously, we didn't expect them to have back-to-back duds offensively, although Hampton was actually one of the main bright spots of the
33:58Chargers offense last week at least if you look at like the box score like almost rushed for 100 yards.
34:05He had 23 carries for 94 yards and a touchdown he got more targets than he did in week one, two targets, two catches for 21 yards.
34:13He actually had a couple calls back in terms of rushing production so his true rushing line was actually 25 carries, 105
34:20yards if you include those plays that were removed by penalties.
34:24So the workload has been there for Armerian Hampton through two weeks.
34:28He has been a clear-cut RB1. His volume actually increased in week two compared to week one where it wasn't nearly as much.
34:35However, I do have concerns about the way that this schedule is kind of shaping up for the Chargers.
34:42Now they get Buffalo this week. That's a good matchup on paper, especially if Ed Oliver doesn't play.
34:47We know the bills can be run on but after that and this was something we talked about in the tailgate show,
34:55the Chargers just have a brutal schedule like rest of the season like weeks one and two were supposed to be their
35:02layup spots where they were supposed to just absolutely truck stick these opposing defenses and that was hardly what we've seen from them.
35:09Now you also layer in the injuries that are continuing to pile up on this team.
35:14So during the preseason they lost Tyler Biotis their starting center.
35:18They have now just put their two other tight ends that play a big role in the run game especially Charlie Kolar.
35:25He's on injured reserve. David Njoku he's on injured reserve.
35:28So what happens to these heavy personnel sets where you're creating more lanes for the run game?
35:34Do those cease to exist now in this Mike McDaniel offense that has really not been awesome the first two weeks of the season?
35:42They also put one of their starting guards not on injured reserve but he's going to miss some time with an injury as well.
35:49So the interior offensive line injuries are piling up.
35:52Joe Walt in particular has not played like the guy that was healthy last year.
35:57Rashawn Slater still stud but these injuries on the offensive line are piling up and Omarian Hampton the eye test is the guy is just looking for contact.
36:06Like I don't see him going out and bursting off these big explosive plays it's just him like trying to find the
36:13nearest defender like truck stick that guy and then fall forward.
36:17I'm not trying to bury Omarian Hampton but I just don't know if this is going to last for him favorably when
36:24you look at injuries on the line the schedule coming up and the fact that the past game usage has really not been there.
36:32So through two games Hampton ranks 40th among running backs in routes run which is the same as Keaton Mitchell.
36:38No running back with a 60% or higher snap share has worse receiving usage than Omarian Hampton does through two games.
36:45So for all of these reasons I feel like he's a player that coming off a pretty strong game I get the
36:52vibes around the Chargers are not super high but I think you can still get something decent for him even if it's
37:00a little bit like 80 cents on the dollar where I just kind of want to wipe myself clean potentially of Hampton
37:07when I see a lot of flaws in his projection for the rest of the season and there's a lot of good
37:14running back then we just talked about a guy like Brees Hall right?
37:18I get that his offense isn't nearly as exciting but you just talked about how Tara outlined the floor for the Jets
37:25we're starting to see a ceiling potentially with their schedule coming up what if it's the opposite with the Chargers where it's
37:32like oh this is actually potentially like how good it might get at least from a Hampton perspective and against tougher teams
37:40what's it going to look like then? And that's where I get concerned about a player like Hampton who I think still
37:47has like the draft capital attached to him because he was like a high second round pick I still think you can
37:54get a lot for him so that's my take on Hampton I know that you talked about him as a buy last
38:01week do you still feel the same about him after this week?
38:05Again, he had a good game in the box score so I'm interested to see what you have to say because again
38:12I have liked Hampton too coming into the season I thought the two weeks of the year were going to be really
38:19good for him not as impressed as I thought I was going to be so I was kind of prepared for week
38:26three to come along and think okay Hampton are we buying or selling and I feel like I'm a little bit more
38:33on the sell side especially when you have the juicy matchup of Buffalo coming up that you can really use to get
38:41a strong return It's a great question because fundamentally I don't want to be some barring like an injury or some sort
38:48of like huge change in circumstances I don't want to be somebody who on the show one week says I think this
38:55guy's a buy and then literally seven days later says no no he's a sell like I don't want to be just
39:02that react that feels reactionary yeah yeah no 100% 100% having said that I definitely feel more nervous than I did despite
39:09the big game and the box he was RB6 this week and I feel worse about it the lack of passing game
39:16usage is tough and that is like we just talked about with Brees Hall like that sort of in Bucky Irving that
39:23sort of thing really does lift your floor and ceiling as a running back with the nature of fantasy scoring if he
39:31doesn't have that with just two targets throughout the season to start two weeks in they need to be winning games for
39:38him to be having a chance here again I know he had 94 yards at a touchdown this week and they lost
39:45but generally speaking if he's not getting pass game usage they need to be up in these games for him to really
39:52hit it big as a fantasy running back and boy I don't know when are they going to be leading these games
39:59with that schedule I mean you talk about how tough it is Buffalo, Seattle, Denver, Kansas City, the Rams, Houston and Baltimore
40:06is their next seven games like that's tough man and later on in the season they're going to get Kansas City again
40:14San Francisco who looks really good while they're healthy right now Tampa Bay is usually very good against the run I mean
40:21New England's defense isn't I just don't know when they're winning all these games frankly and I don't I don't want to
40:28write off a team after two weeks I don't want to write off a guy that I said you know was touting
40:35as a bye one week later but I agree the production we've seen added all up and it's been fine but the
40:42profile hasn't and the projection for the future doesn't feel very fine to me so I think for me he is probably
40:49more of a hold than a sell but he is not a bye for me anymore I don't think I've totally done
40:56the 180 and gotten him all the way to sell but I'm totally comfortable moving him from bye into hold range and
41:04you're just kind of hoping and praying honestly because I I this charge I wouldn't say there's a 0% chance they turn
41:11it around I don't think it looks good right now but it's a non-zero chance that this offense maybe does like hey
41:18just took a few weeks it's a new offense coordinator Herbert's still getting more comfortable there you know all starts playing better
41:25and boom maybe not off to the races but they look a lot more competent and fantasy friendly in the coming weeks
41:32and maybe the fact that their defense isn't very good and I think they're going to be trailing in these games will
41:39just simply force them to throw to Hampton more like we can hope on that right so I think there's a world
41:46where the offense does look better going forward but I don't think the team's record is going to start looking much better
41:54going forward and I do think ultimately that will just kneecap O'Marrion Hampton's fantasy value one thing too and I can't believe
42:01I didn't mention this when I was digging the grave for O'Marrion Hampton he's fumbled back-to-back games lost fumbles we know we
42:08know Aharbaugh is not going to like that like that's the thing that scares me the most is I would like and
42:15to your point but not want to jump ship one week after but a lot of the equation has changed I mean
42:22they lost offensive linemen they lost their two starting tight ends and they didn't and they laid another egg right like part
42:29of the reason you were talking about buying Hampton was because yeah they're going to bounce back against the Raiders and he
42:36did Hampton did have a good game so technically you were right he was an improved asset but now it's like okay
42:44like I definitely don't feel nearly as good about him rest of season you got the Bills matchup here which should still
42:51be a good spot so if you can't get anything for Hampton strongly I think that to your point he still can
42:58be a hold but man like it's it's tough when you look at the rest of season schedule for the Chargers and
43:05if they don't get it together then he's a player that I feel like you're going to be starting him every week
43:12because you have to and he's hurting you more than helping you make a difference listen I said this you know there's
43:19a non-zero chance that they kick it into high gear there's also non-zero chance that we look back and say this was
43:26the best selling opportunity for Hampton all season coming off of 94 yards and a touchdown I hope that's not the case
43:34but that's that's a possibility all right Erickson who's your other running back to sell I'm going to go with Ja'Cory Krosky
43:41Merritt running back for the Washington Commanders also known as Bill I am concerned about what this offense looks like rest of
43:48season with Marcus Mariota taking over for at least the next couple weeks we're still not exactly sure what Jaden Daniels and
43:55how long he'll be out for but considering it's a re-injury of his elbow injury that he didn't get surgery on the
44:02only way to fix it is with surgery so we shall see but for the time being it's going to be a
44:09lot of Marcus Mariota and Ja'Cory Krosky Merritt actually works than or he was worse last year with Marcus Mariota as his
44:16starting quarterback versus check out check out the tool you can see for yourself but yeah it's a fall off when Marcus
44:24Mariota is the quarterback and I don't think that's really surprising he is a worse quarterback than Jaden Daniels is so that
44:31concerns me about what Bill can do rest of season and then when I look at this particular matchup what we saw
44:38last week Rashad White was out there commanding the majority of targets I don't think that this Washington defense can stop anybody
44:45and that concerns me about how much Troy Krosky is actually going to be playing in this particular offense if the commanders
44:52are always trailing in games because they have a worse offense because their defense can't stop anybody because that's what happened last
44:59week Rashad White six targets for 40 yards tied for the second most targets on the team he also had 43 rushing
45:06yards seven carries which was actually the same yardage as Bill but on five fewer attempts so I've always been on high
45:14on Rashad White you know through the off running back but I just think that Bill is facing an uphill battle and
45:21although he has some decent box score stats through the first two weeks of season and I admittedly he looked really great
45:28against the Philadelphia Eagles I do get concerned about his recipes and outlook with a backup quarterback starting with things kind of
45:35going or getting unraveled here with the commanders team overall without having Jane Daniels for the foreseeable future so for those reasons
45:42I think that especially trading him to a team that might need a running back he is a sell for me it's
45:49you know the upcoming schedule to like Seattle they're not going to score anything on Seattle then and you can maybe use
45:56this as a selling point after Seattle is Indy and the Giants I think you can make a selling point on him
46:04being a good buy for managers then but then after that it gets tough at San Francisco I don't think he's going
46:11to do very well there Philly again I know he the Rams in week nine it's not really that enticing and then
46:18to end the season Erickson his last four weeks so if you're thinking ahead already like oh I want to have this
46:25guy for the playoffs everything like that weeks 14 through 17 Houston Atlanta at Minnesota at Jacksonville like how are they especially
46:32in the running game I just don't see him being very effective for the commanders in that end of season schedule in
46:39the playoffs so I think in the medium term and in the long term this is a smart move to try to
46:47sell off if you can on the basis of that week one performance and to to me he's a player that you're
46:54going to feel obligated to start when he's getting volume but then he's a player that you start in And, you know,
47:01it's just hard because it's so league dependent, right?
47:04Like in the consensus versus season rankings, he's QB4.
47:07I think folks who do what we do professionally, I think, are going to be very recognizing of the schedule and the talent and say, even though A.J.
47:16Brown is still out for a while, like we're just a believer in this guy.
47:21And again, he didn't have A.J. Brown last year, MVP runner up.
47:25But I think if you look to maybe in the right league, which again, it's all contextual and it's all worth asking,
47:32I think you could try to swing other trades.
47:35I wouldn't even be opposed to something like, hey, I'm going to trade you like Tyler Shuck and another piece for Drake
47:42May or Jared Goff and another piece for Drake May.
47:45I'd be fine like trying to tear up at quarterback and and going for the big upside swing with Drake May, who
47:52I think is going to finish a lot closer to his QB4 ranking rest of season that he's at right now, as
47:59opposed to where he's at currently, obviously. I agree.
48:02Let's do some buy, sell or holds, Erickson. We've got a couple of running back ones and then a QB1 for you.
48:09Then we'll get out of here. I want to put some big names into one of these.
48:15So I've got Devon A. Chan, Javante Williams, Kyron Williams.
48:18Again, for those who are maybe new to the show this year, this is not a ranking of the three.
48:25This is one to buy at their current market value, one to sell at their current market value and one that you
48:32want to hold at their current market value. So buy, sell or hold A.
48:36Chan. That's Devon A. Chan. Javante Williams, Kyron Williams.
48:39So I think I'm going to buy Devon A.
48:42Chan because I think that he plays on the Dolphins and that's why he's cheap, but he is a full-blown bell cow running back that's catching passes.
48:51That was the biggest knock on A. Chan was, oh, what's going to happen?
48:55Mike Willis is the quarterback. He's not going to get targets.
48:59I think that he might be the target leader for the Dolphins over the last two weeks.
49:05He's had at least six targets, I believe, in both games.
49:08So he's someone that is seeing passing. He has 11 targets this season just for what it's worth.
49:14It's five in the first game, six in the second.
49:17Okay. So he's seeing plenty of volume through the air, which that was like the biggest point against him, obviously playing in this environment as well.
49:26But so explosive, can rip off big plays. If you just want to lock in a fantasy volume play, especially in full PPR, I still think A.
49:34Chan is an interesting buy. So especially just given.
49:37I will say, by the way, of those 11 targets, he's only caught seven of them.
49:43He would three for six, which you often see for running backs because it's usually a bit easier just catching the check down.
49:50So just throwing that out there. Yeah. I would say, so he's the buy for me.
49:55And then Javante Williams would probably be the sell, as weird as that sounds, because he plays on a wagon offense of the Dallas Cowboys.
50:03But matchups aren't nearly as good. I mean, Javante has had two amazing spots the last two weeks.
50:09And his rushing production has been really bad to start the year against the Giants and Commanders.
50:15What does he have? 24 carries for 71 yards, I think.
50:18That's exactly right. Yeah. So I remember writing that in the beyond the waiver wire piece because you want to list them as like a sell.
50:27But you also recognize, dude, like there's really no one else they're going to get volume to in this backfield.
50:33But if it's a scenario where someone really wants to pay a lot for Javante because he is the Dallas Cowboys star
50:40running back and you can get a really strong return for him.
50:44That's who would be my sell here. And then Kyron Williams, I think, is just a hold, man.
50:50I can't project exactly how this Rams backfield is going to play out.
50:54All I know is Kyron Williams scores fantasy points.
50:57Like, I'm just kind of throwing my hands up.
51:00I know Corum's good, too. They're both good. They were both going to pay off their ADPs.
51:06Like, I'm so sick of having to take a side.
51:09It's always usually against Kyron. And they're just both good.
51:12You both play him. So he'll be my hold.
51:15Javante has nine targets this season. And that was something that, like, I know in the summer I talked a lot with
51:22Fitz about how Javante is kind of a nothing burger in the passing game, especially after the first few weeks of last
51:29season where he was catching passes and then just totally stopped.
51:33If he's catching passes again, he's somebody that I do want to be buying.
51:38We'll see if that lasts the whole season. But eight catches already on the season, including a receiving touchdown.
51:44I'm kind of interested in buying all these guys at cost, honestly.
51:48I don't want to pay up for any of them, but I'm willing to pay market value, I think, for all three.
51:55So that's kind of why I want to include all three.
51:58So all three guys, would you take over on Marion Hampton?
52:02Yes or no? Yeah. Okay. I don't love saying it, but I think you have to, honestly.
52:07But that's the tier, though, right? All three are ranked behind him in expert consensus rankings for rest of season.
52:14So that is a very doable trade. Hampton is where?
52:17RB 11, 8 chance 12, Javante 13, Kyron 16.
52:20Yeah. I also have Hampton at 11 because I think – I feel like my ranking is more projective of what the market price for him should be.
52:29Like, this is how he should be valued, even though we just outlined how this could go very south for him in the upcoming weeks.
52:37And this is – might be the time to cash out.
52:41Another trio here. David Montgomery, Cam Scadaboo, Travion Henderson.
52:44Henderson getting the explosive touchdown this week. Scadaboo obviously has the offensive questions with darts, injury, and David Montgomery having nowhere close
52:51to the game he had in week one. And buy, sell, or hold Montgomery, Scadaboo, and Henderson.
52:56Man, I wish I had been more defined about selling David Montgomery last week.
53:01I wrote about it but did not bring it to the show.
53:05Instead, I was a coward and said Chuba Hubbard was a sell, and I got what I deserve for him.
53:11Got what I deserve because Jonathan Brooks is not coming back.
53:15That was the worst advice I gave last week, trading away Chuba Hubbard.
53:19But we will keep on keeping on. Going to sell David Montgomery anyway because I just don't – didn't like him in
53:26draft season, didn't score the touchdown, still have issues with this offensive line for the Houston Texans, especially without Nico Collins.
53:33This offense just isn't the same. Keep Cam Scadaboo because he is so good and so fun.
53:39And if Jackson Dart misses any more time, it's just going to be Cam Scadaboo, Wildcat formation.
53:44Dude, I would sign up for that type of offense.
53:47Like, that would be fun to watch. And then Henderson will be the bye, right?
53:52You know, Ramondre's never going to go away. But every time the guy fumbles, it gives Henderson a shot.
53:58And I think that the fact that Henderson scored right away after Stevenson fumbled in the same drive is just a reminder
54:06of, like, a subtle nudge at the coaching staff for Ingen doing him to be like, dude, like, we got this guy
54:13with a rocket attached to his back. Let's give him more opportunities and less for Ramondre.
54:18No, we said this all last year. But, hey, streaks are meant to be broken, man.
54:23Maybe this is the time that they finally shift back towards Henderson.
54:27So, that's what we'll go with. Let's quickly do a quarterback trio here, Erickson.
54:32Justin Herbert, Tyler Shuck, Jordan. Love three interesting names from the fantasy perspective.
54:36Love, obviously, losing Jaden Reed this week. You know, a player that I really liked coming into the season, honestly.
54:42Shuck has looked awesome ever since he got into the second half of that Lions game.
54:48And then Herbert, you know, we could not have been higher on in August.
54:52He's a mid-round quarterback and has certainly not panned out.
54:55So, at this point, two weeks in, buy, sell, or hold.
54:59Herbert, Shuck, and Love. So, we're going to buy Shuck because his schedule is really good the rest of the season.
55:06Just buying the Saints in general. Basically, if you're a Saint not named Travis HN, I want you on my team in some way, shape, or form.
55:14So, Shuck's a buy. Love would probably be my sell for me.
55:18I feel like both his quarterbacks feel like sells.
55:21But right now, the stock for Herbert is so...
55:24He's going to get dropped. And like, you can't...
55:27I don't know if you can sell Herbert for really anything.
55:31So, he'll be my hold because I just don't think that anybody's going to want to acquire him.
55:37Even though you've got a matchup here against the Buffalo Bills.
55:40Where even if Hampton doesn't show out, it could be a game where Herbert has to do a little bit more and plays better.
55:48So, I like Herbert probably as the hold. And Jordan Love would be the sell for me.
55:53Losing Jaden Reed is not good. And as bad as the offensive line has been for the Chargers, Packers offensive line is worse.
56:01So, that concerns me about him long term. Took more injuries this week too.
56:05Yep. So, they're playing on a short week against the Falcons.
56:09They don't have a pass rush. You're probably not going to see that happen this week.
56:14But that's where I would be concerned. So, I would sell Jordan Love.

58:05Honestly? No one wants to think about HIV, but there are things that everyone can do to help prevent it.
58:12Things like PrEP. PrEP stands for pre-exposure prophylaxis, and it means routinely taking prescription medicine before you're exposed to HIV to help reduce your chances of getting it.
58:21PrEP can be about 99% effective when taken as prescribed.
58:24It doesn't protect against other STIs, though, so be sure to use condoms and other healthy sex practices.
