Player analysis
Player insights
Carnell Tate
PositiveValue10:25
Carnell Tate is a buy-low candidate who functions as the clear WR1 in Tennessee. While the offense is inconsistent and quarterback Cam Ward struggles with volume, Tate has shown alpha-level production potential. He is compared to Tedarrell McMillan's rookie season, where he may produce despite limited team volume. Managers should be prepared for week-to-week volatility, but his rest-of-season schedule is favorable outside of two matchups against Jacksonville.
Insight pagePositiveValue23:17
Carnell Tate is identified as a viable trade target to pursue if you are looking to offload Woody Marks to a running back-needy team.
Insight pageDavid Montgomery
NegativeInjury19:23
David Montgomery is dealing with a multi-week injury and is considered week-to-week, creating uncertainty about his return timeline and potential for an IR stint.
Insight pageNegativeInjury30:32
David Montgomery is dealing with a multi-week injury and is considered week-to-week. His performance prior to the injury was disappointing, as he struggled to meet expectations in a poor offensive environment compared to his time in Detroit.
Insight pageDenzel Boston
PositiveValue3:33
Denzel Boston is a strong buy who has ascended to the WR1 role in Cleveland, evidenced by consistent snap counts and routes run. Despite a shaky quarterback situation, he has recorded at least 12 full PPR points in four of five games. He is currently ranked as WR34, but his performance floor and ceiling suggest he is significantly undervalued. His playoff schedule (Giants, Baltimore, Indianapolis) is favorable for a late-season breakout.
Insight pagePositiveValue19:48
Denzel Boston is suggested as a target to acquire in trades if you are looking to move a running back like Woody Marks, as he represents an upside swing in receiver rankings.
Insight pageDK Metcalf
NegativeValue23:53
DK Metcalf is mentioned as a player in the same range as Woody Marks in terms of trade value, though Ravens-falcons. So notes they do not personally love him.
Insight pageJaylen Waddle
NegativeBust25:26
Jalen Waddle is a sell candidate due to the highly inconsistent volume in the Denver offense. Despite his name value, he has only one top-24 finish this season. The offense is plagued by poor play-calling and quarterback struggles, making it difficult to trust him on a weekly basis. Managers should look to trade him, ideally waiting for a high-production game to maximize his market value before the difficult December schedule.
Insight pageMichael Wilson
PositiveValue18:16
Michael Wilson is a buy-low target following a disappointing 30-yard performance against Detroit. While Trey McBride dominates the tight end targets, Wilson remains a high-ceiling boom player in an offense that will frequently play from behind, necessitating aggressive passing volume. Despite a tough upcoming schedule, his target baseline is secure enough to make him a valuable asset for the remainder of the season.
Insight pageRome Odunze
PositiveValue23:47
Rome Odunze is highlighted as an upside receiver target to consider if you are looking to trade away Woody Marks.
Insight pageWoody Marks
NegativeValue19:27
Woody Marks is a prime sell-high candidate; despite the opportunity created by Montgomery's injury, his upcoming schedule (Jags, Giants, bye) is difficult, and his rest-of-season ranking remains low (RB35). The analysts suggest capitalizing on the current enthusiasm to trade him for better value, such as upside wide receivers like Carnell Tate, Denzel Boston, or Rome Odunze.
Insight pageNegativeValue30:32
Woody Marks is a sell-high candidate for managers who do not need him as a starter. With David Montgomery sidelined by a multi-week injury, Marks has the opportunity to showcase his skills as a three-down back. However, because the Texans' offensive line is struggling, his production may be capped. Managers should leverage his increased role to trade him to a running back-needy team that is willing to overpay.

Episode Transcript
0:00This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed Human. Hello everybody, welcome to Fantasy Pros.
0:04I'm Ryan Warmly, joined by Tara Roberts. We are giving you 5 moves to make before Week 6.
0:09We're in the middle of October. Season is flying by as it always does.
0:13Tara, a little bit easier of a week this week.
0:16Not going into the week with some of the bye weeks and the injuries heading in.
0:21But the actual Sunday viewing experience, like lots of fun touchdowns, big games, crazy finishes.
0:25There are injuries as there always will be in any season of NFL football, but it wasn't quite as bad as the last couple of weeks had been.
0:33Again, there were still some as we were talking about before we started recording, but generally speaking, I think a pretty positive Week 5.
0:40Yeah, no, I think so too. I was thinking that as I was making the waiver wire list, I was like, ah,
0:47you know, it's not a thrilling one because, you know, nothing really catastrophic happened.
0:51Yeah, so it was good. Overall, we had a fun ending to the funny ending to the Sunday night game.
0:56Great week for me as a Packers fan and a Clemson fan because they didn't play.
1:01So I have no, no embarrassing losses. Very nice.
1:04Yeah, I was, I was all ready to come on here and be embarrassed by Mark Andrews ruining the week for me
1:10and giving me a very sour note to end Sunday on with his performance in Sunday Night Football.
1:15But they pulled it out in an exciting finish at the end of the game.
1:20Shouts to Tyler Huntley. So yeah, that was a good one to finish.
1:23I mean, a weird way to start the day with, you know, the ending to the Eagles-Jags game.
1:29Weird middle of the day with the ending to Commanders-Giants and then a weird finish with Ravens-Falcons.
1:34So quite a day there. A reminder for everybody that all of our weekly consensus rankings and tiers can be found at fantasypros.com slash rankings.
1:41We also have our consensus rest of season rankings.
1:43You can also go in and pick the experts that are part of that so you can make sure it's only folks
1:50who have actually updated their rankings since the games have been played.
1:53So you're getting nothing out to add a date there.
1:56If I mentioned any consensus rest of season rankings on the show today, as a reminder, it will be those updated consensus rest of season rankings from fantasypros.com.
2:04Tara, you've got, it looks like three buys and two sells for us today.
2:08Let's start with one of those buys. Yeah, this is a, this is a goodbye.
2:13I feel like we're not giving enough attention to Denzel Boston.
2:16We are consistently, consistently seeing him get it done week to week.
2:20It might feel shaky from the Cleveland Browns, but it feels shaky because there's never really high receptions, high, massively high yardage totals.
2:26But regardless, Boston just gets it done one way or the other.
2:30He's had a minimum of 12 fantasy points and full PPR in every game, but one this season.
2:35He's had a very nice ceiling game in what has proven to be a pretty difficult defensive matchup for receivers.
2:41Tampa Bay, Tampa Bay defense that was shutting down CD lamb in week two, he had 95 yards and a touchdown against them.
2:47He's the very clear and consistent wide receiver one of this offense on a week to week basis, both snap count and routes run prove it.
2:55And he's proving that he can get it done in any type of game script or whether doesn't really matter.
3:01So I have complete trust in him. And we were talking about a rookie that has stepped in and immediately ascended to the wide receiver one.
3:08He didn't have to work his way to it.
3:11And he's maintained it through five straight weeks, even with a shaky quarterback situation.
3:15So this is the kind of player that we often see having those back half of the season rookie breakouts where it's a bad team.
3:22Well, you know what, actually, you know, let me be kinder to Cleveland.
3:26You're not a bad team. You're doing well overall.
3:29That was kind of your exceeding expectations. It's just unexpected team.
3:32And we're always feeling like we're looking for something more from them offensively as we continue through the back half of the season and they continue to rise.
3:40We'll see a potential higher breakout for Denzel Boston.
3:43And you want to be in on that. He's still very reasonably priced and his playoff schedule is pretty nice with the Giants, Baltimore and Indianapolis.
3:50Yeah, the overall rest of season schedule, I would say doesn't really lean in one direction or the other too strongly.
3:56But that finish when it's going to matter most in the fantasy playoffs and when you would expect a rookie receiver to
4:03maybe be at their best, they often will break out late in the season, could kind of come together for a really nice finish for fantasy managers.
4:11He's in the 30s in terms of the rest of season rankings.
4:14He's at wide receiver 34, actually back to back with Carnell Tate, interestingly enough, another rookie.
4:19I think I've had a lot of conversations with Fitz and Dynasty shows in context about Denzel Boston and how he would
4:25be the rookie wide receiver one if we were doing rookie drafts again today.
4:29And just the impact he's made right away and the eye test, right?
4:33Just watching him, you can tell this guy looks like a really good NFL receiver.
4:37And so I think excitement about when they do upgrade the quarterback there.
4:41But we're thinking rest of season just on this show.
4:44And I still think he's a good call there.
4:47And I think he's probably undervalued. Like I find it hard to believe, barring injury, that he will be as low as
4:53wide receiver 34 in scoring rest of season. The last three weeks he's been, or really just every week I'll say, you
4:59know, wide receiver 24, 12, 52, 30, and 20.
5:02So outside of that game against the Carolina Panthers, he has been better than wide receiver 34 in every game this season.
5:08So yeah, it just seems like a good player who's making an early impact like you expect good players to do.
5:15It's almost pretty straightforward. Is there a type of player you have in mind that you would consider moving to go get a Denzel Boston?
5:22Yeah, I think you don't have to try and find a deal and find somebody that's lower value.
5:27I think you can sell him from someone who has a perceived higher market value.
5:31You could look at maybe a Roma Dunzee still holding on a little bit or perhaps a Dosh Downs.
5:37I think a DK Metcalf is a very interesting one.
5:40And then also Ladd McConkie. At this point, the way that the Chargers offense is struggling, inconsistencies, injuries that he's playing through,
5:46and the fact that they're just not competitive. Ultimately, I would rather have Denzel Boston on a weekly basis than a guy like Ladd McConkie.
5:53Yeah, I think McConkie's a really good one to highlight because they're very close in ECR.
5:58McConkie's got the name value. There are maybe managers out there who are going to say like, hey, once this offense does
6:05get going, it's going to get going. I don't personally believe that, of course.
6:09But I think he's a name that is movable.
6:11It's not a guarantee, but I think it's worth trying.
6:14A guy like that is a good call there.
6:17All right, let's go to your next player to buy who, ironically, I already mentioned is right next to Denzel Boston in the rest of season rankings.
6:25You did. Yeah, same kind of concept, a little bit different team environment, but Carnell Tate.
6:29You'll notice that when I was talking about players that you could sell, I did not mention Carnell Tate because I think they're very similar.
6:37I don't think a one for one flip would really do much.
6:40They're both guys that I would like to target.
6:43And I view them very similarly. Again, rookie wide receivers operating as a clear wide receiver one in their offense, but held
6:49back by inconsistent play of their team in general.
6:52It's just that the inconsistency is a little worse for Tennessee.
6:55I thought after we got that big boom game that our buy low window on Carnell Tate because you always get the rookie hype.
7:02So once you get that big confirmation, everybody wants in and they're unwilling to part.
7:06Luckily, Tennessee hit us with a really embarrassing loss to the OVM four Texans and offense looked terrible.
7:11Now, in no way, shape or form did I expect Tennessee to win the actual game, but 170 yards through the air in a blowout, pretty unacceptable.
7:19So we all know the struggles that Cam Ward is having in terms of just maxing out very infrequently over 200 yards.
7:26I mean, conveniently, the one game where he did throw for over 200 yards was the Carnell Tate breakout game.
7:31And it was just barely over 200. We're not asking for much from Cam Ward.
7:36We're just asking for just a little bit more volume and consistency from him that can allow Carnell Tate to be that clear wide receiver one.
7:43Going through struggles. And while I can't promise that the offense as a whole in Tennessee is really going to turn things
7:50around, I can see the progress for Carnell Tate as he continues to push forward and really just ascend and have the
7:56potential to have something that I kind of thought preseason that he might have a similar season to that of Ted Arroa McMillan's rookie season.
8:03Right. Where you're in an offense, not pushing a lot of hefty volume, but you are still the alpha in that offense
8:10and you can produce and you can still have a rookie of the year type of season.
8:15So there's still promise here for him. And luckily for us, they gave us another little buy low window on him where we can still get in.
8:23And honestly, there are better days I've had. We've got a great rest of season schedule plus, you know, a decently nice playoff schedule.
8:30The only really difficult matchups that he's truly going to face rest of season is like, you know, the two matchups against Jacksonville understandable.
8:37We won't expect a lot out of that. But outside of that, there are really no major issues.
8:42I have a lot of confidence in Carnell Tate having some big weeks rest of season.
8:46I have a lot of confidence in him as a player, first and foremost.
8:51And then I have confidence in him having some big games like he had against the Ravens in week four.
8:56And he's obviously going to get into the end zone.
8:59I love the Tedder O McMillan sort of comp there, like a guy who we liked as a player, high draft capital, maybe struggling offense.
9:07It just wasn't getting the end zone as much as we felt like he should, particularly early in the season.
9:12That could flip in the second half of the season.
9:15I think it's a great, great comp, great call, all of it.
9:19I do feel like there will be some inconsistency here, like more so than some of the other high level receivers.
9:25I would imagine this will be not like a full on roller coaster, like going to make you sick at King's Dominion type of roller coaster.
9:32But like a light roller coaster where there are some up and downs, not that intense, but like still, I think it's
9:39going to be shaky week to week. Now, that is also the nature of the wide receiver position, as we have talked
9:45about on the show earlier this year before. So you kind of ascribe that to all receivers, but especially somebody as talented
9:52as you may be in an offense that is as limiting as this one has appeared to be so far this season.
9:58So I say all that to say I like Tate as a buy if the consistency can go up at all.
10:04I think it could look really good. You just have to be, in my opinion, willing to take some of those down
10:10weeks and just kind of know going in like he's going to have some big games, we think, but he's also going to have some duds.
10:18If you are okay with that, then I'm fully on board with this.
10:22But I don't think you should be going after him if you're like expecting him to say, oh, he's going to be
10:28a wide receiver when he's going to be getting me 13 plus fantasy points every week.
10:33Yeah, yeah. But a good player. No, that's a very valid point, for sure.
10:37His inconsistencies will come. You're holding. Perhaps when you look at this, this is a move that you are making as a
10:43very confident team that is looking ahead. You don't have problems.
10:47You're looking ahead for the future and the potential end of the season impact that he could have with a playoff schedule.
10:53You've got another wide receiver that you're looking to buy here.
10:56Yeah, I am. Michael Wilson. I know your instant thought when you hear this is no one is going to be willing
11:03to buy Michael Wilson directly after the Marvin Harrison Jr.
11:05trade. But, oh, people, they are out there. And I think there are valid reasons why people might be a little bit
11:12scared and might be willing to sell thinking that they're selling high.
11:15And that's really the key there is that you're buying from someone who has the perception that he is selling high out
11:22of what could be a shaky situation in an offense where he's not the first look.
11:26It's Trey McBride, right? And it helps that we had the performance that we had against Detroit, which can reinforce that narrative
11:33because Detroit should have been an extremely plus matchup for the receivers, particularly Michael Wilson in your first game without Marvin Harrison Jr.
11:39But Detroit's most glaring vulnerability is specifically to the tight end position.
11:43We have seen it in literally every single game with the exception of the Carolina game.
11:48And this game was absolutely dominated by the Arizona tight ends, not just Trey McBride, right?
11:52Trey McBride had around 21 fantasy points in PPR, but the entire tight end group literally doubled that.
11:57So it was just this weird scenario where we got the volume we were looking for from Jacoby Brissett in terms of
12:04having nearly 300 yards, three touchdowns, pushing it. It just all went to the tight ends.
12:09Yeah. And this aggressive volume is going to continue, right?
12:11It's going to continue because they are going to be consistently playing from behind.
12:15So realistically, there's just such a baseline in expected targets on a weekly basis.
12:20And he does because of the fact that he is playing behind Trey McBride and they will have bad matchups, right?
12:26There is a lower floor that we would like.
12:28You know, it can be a single digit fantasy point floor that we saw in week five, but he has an outrageously
12:35high ceiling and that's not gone away. That is the boom player that we are looking for that can win your week
12:41hands down on any given week with the capability of getting 15 targets.
12:45I think if you're looking at trying to buy a Michael Wilson, you're saying, hey, he had just had a game without Marvin Harrison Jr.
12:52And he only had 30 yards. It's a great matchup against the Lions.
12:56And then you point to the next several weeks at the Rams, Broncos, at Dallas, which is good, at Seattle, home for the Rams again at Kansas City.
13:04Those could all be really tough matchups defensively. Some of them might not be as bad as you might expect by reputation,
13:10depending on health or, you know, like you even to your point about them.
13:15Chasing points and just needing to throw late and getting some garbage time stuff.
13:19All that totally valid. But those are a lot of tough matchups, too.
13:22That wouldn't scare me off, but maybe you can use that to your advantage in a negotiation and kind of highlight that
13:29if you are trying to find the Michael Wilson manager to strike a deal with in your league.
13:34Because I do agree that, like, the volume will be there this season.
13:38Week to week, sure. Maybe there are weeks where it's a tight end week, something like that.
13:43But I think we're going to look up at the end of the year and say, hey, he got, like, enough targets
13:49for us to all be pretty, you know, pleased with the situation.
13:53And he's a good enough player to take advantage of that.
13:56So, yeah, I'm with you if this is doable.
13:58In your opinion, is there, like, is there a running back or another receiver that you think lines up well to try and make this do?
14:06Is Wider receiver 17 in the consensus rest of the season ranking?
14:09So it's not like he's ranked that low in those rankings.
14:13Correct. Yeah. But what do you think it would take to get him?
14:16Oh, from a running back perspective, I feel like it would, you know, you know, it's interesting.
14:21You could panic sell some people if you have certain players that are stepping into increased volume.
14:26I don't know. We'll talk about it in a little bit.
14:30But I would probably try to make more of a wide receiver flip.
14:33Perhaps people that are would like a more stable quarterback situation, a stable offensive situation.
14:38And perhaps they look at a Luther Burden and you've got those Luther Burden truthers out there.
14:43They know that Caleb Williams is coming back. We know that this is a high functioning offense that is going to be pushing points.
14:50We've got common on guy injuries. So perhaps they lean a little bit more on the pass.
14:55So perhaps that's one that you could target. Maybe flipping for guys who are kind of around that area that have the
15:01same inconsistency issues, but better name value guys like Jalen Waddell, Luther Burden, something like that.
15:06Never wonder if you're winning a trade again. The Fantasy Pros Trade Analyzer instantly evaluates any deal based on your roster, scoring

15:15It even supports dynasty trades involving players and picks.
15:18Analyze your next deal at fantasypros.com slash analyzer. All right, Terry, you got a couple of sells for us.
15:23Who's the first? I do. Tip my hat there.
15:26We're selling Jalen Waddell. My hope was this week, I had a whole plan baked into this week, that we would get
15:32Sean Payton taking over play calling, and that would result in him trying to prove a point because he's Sean Payton.
15:38And we would get hyper targeting to the guy they traded for, Jalen Waddell, and get some creativity with him.
15:44And technically speaking, he did get a little creative.
15:47He had a carry for nine yards, but two receptions for just 19 yards.
15:51I was hoping we would get that boom game so that we could sell, because I think the inconsistency is just going to continue.
15:58I don't think it's going anywhere. But I would rather start shopping him around and try to sell rather than waiting to
16:04see if we're going to get that boom game.
16:07Because in reality, that boom game is not coming this week.
16:10We've got Seattle. It would come the week after in week seven against Arizona.
16:14If you want to wait for that, cool. But the further you push it, you might be risking a window in terms of his value dipping out.
16:22Because again, we talk about the name value that he has, and Jalen Waddell absolutely has that.
16:27I believe we talked about him as a sell high back in like week three or so, and this was the exact reason.
16:34The volume in this offense is not trustworthy. And who you want to blame it on, whether you want to blame it
16:40on play calling, or you want to blame it on Bo Nix, whatever it is, too many bodies, there are a thousand reasons it could be.
16:48But flipping him now, rather than messing around with this offense where we see so much inconsistency across every single position, and
16:54I don't think it's going to change. Yeah, I wonder if the only thing I would disagree with is just time it better, right?
17:01Like wait until he has one more big game and try to do it.
17:05I mean, if you are that concerned, then maybe it's worth saying, hey, the longer you wait, maybe the more the price
17:11goes down if the struggles and lack of production continues.
17:14But obviously, like he's only had one game this season inside the top 24 at the position.
17:19He had another where he was wide receiver 25, so that was close, obviously, when he had the touchdown against San Francisco.
17:26But it has been so up and down that I almost would just say like, the only thing I disagree with here
17:32is don't sell him coming off of a game with 19 yards.
17:36Wait until he has that one game where he's going to get 95 and a touchdown, and then go sell him then.
17:42Try to say, oh, he's finally broken out here.
17:45Because I don't disagree with you at all on the overall analysis of the situation.
17:49And again, another guy that you can maybe use the schedule to your advantage.
17:53If you're trying to sell, looking at that December schedule with the Dolphins, Jets, Raiders, Bills all in a row from week 13 to 16.
18:00So definitely agree. I just wonder if maybe the timing could be improved.
18:04But again, like sometimes you fall into that trap and that boom game never comes.
18:08And all of a sudden, you got to hold the back when you could have traded him earlier.
18:14Like a David Montgomery, right? Yeah. How long did you wait for it to turn around?
18:18And now you're looking at it like, oh, man, I'm stuck.
18:21Yep, absolutely. Great, great comparison. So yeah, let's try to time this well would be my only piece of advice here to add to that.
18:29One more sell for us, Tara. It's going to be Woody Marks.
18:32And no offense to him whatsoever. I'm pro Woody Marks.
18:35Quite frankly, he has looked like the better back in this offense from the jump.
18:40We did a bold predictions video during draft season.
18:42One of my bold predictions was that David Montgomery would finish as a mid-tier RB3 at best.
18:47It was bold. And I'm not saying that it can't turn around.
18:51Expecting David Montgomery to... My problem was is that expecting David Montgomery to have the numbers that we got from Joe Mixon,
18:57it just felt like a big reach. And expecting him at very least to perform as he did in Detroit was a
19:03little bit flawed as well because the Texans offense is straight up not Detroit.
19:07The offensive line is nowhere near even Detroit's worst version.
19:10So this was just a poor setup for everyone involved from the jump, particularly the running backs.
19:15And there was always going to be contributions from Woody Marks.
19:18And now Woody Marks finds himself in the ability to showcase as the three down back.
19:23And we got the news that it's a multi-week injury for David Montgomery.
19:27He's week to week. So use this opportunity. If you need Woody Marks, hey, I'm not saying you have to 100% bail
19:33out, oh my God, it's going to be catastrophic.
19:36No. If you don't need Woody Marks and you were already good and this was a guy that was sitting on your
19:42bench and now you're going to be questioning, ah, do I flex him this week or do I not?
19:48Do I flex him over Denzel Boston? If that's going to be the thought process for you, then go ahead and shop
19:54him around to a running back needy team that is going to overpay.
19:58Because as of right now, we look at the trade market values.
20:01They haven't updated because now we have to look at him and try to figure out what is the realistic expectation for him rest of season.
20:09Because it's possible that he can just perform so well that he takes over the bulk of the workload and we come
20:15back and we get David Montgomery maybe at the goal line or something like that.
20:20And the usage flips and it's more of a 60-40.
20:23But at the end of the day, we technically already saw this same show last year in 2025 of the Woody Marks situation with Nick Chubb.
20:30And I would say that David Montgomery is better at this point probably than Woody Chubb or Nick Chubb was last season.
20:37So remember, yes, we have optimism. But there was also a lot of 15-plus carry games for 60-something yards and that was it.
20:43So limited checkdowns in this version of the offense as well with CJ Stroud.
20:47So look around. Bi-weeks are hitting people. They're out of running backs.
20:51They're desperate. Someone could absolutely use Woody Marks and well overpay for market value on him.
20:56Yeah, this one's interesting because they say multi-week injury for Montgomery.
20:59It's hard to know exactly what that means. If you just throw – let's call that a three-week injury.
21:04I'm not saying that's what it is but just for the sake of argument.
21:08Well, Woody Marks' next three weeks are at the Jags in London.
21:12But the Jags, which is an excellent run defense, the Giants, and then a bye week.
21:16So two of those three weeks is either probably going to be bad or actually unusable in the bye week.
21:22Beyond that, you get to the Chargers, at Cleveland.
21:25Then there's Indy on there. It does open up a bit but then Montgomery might be back by then.
21:30You might have missed that window. So yeah, the upcoming schedule isn't doing him any favors and we don't know the exact timeline of Montgomery's absence yet.
21:38Now if it comes out that it's actually going to be like several weeks for Montgomery and he's going on IR, maybe then it's a different story.
21:46But like the rest of season rankings, for example, Woody Marks have him at RB35.
21:51That's including the knowledge that Montgomery is going to miss time.
21:54He's not getting much higher than just inside the top 36 of the position.
21:58So I think this is a very classic example of selling high on the enthusiasm and the hopium for a guy who's
22:04about to get an opportunity that we're just not sure is all that good.
22:08I mean this is another one to mention Fitz again.
22:11On the Dynasty show, all summer he was talking about how he just didn't think Woody Marks was that good of a player.
22:18Like last year he had this opportunity in certain scenarios and was just okay.
22:22And I imagine he still feels the same way.
22:25I haven't talked to him about this scenario specifically this year.
22:28But yeah, it just makes me feel like I wouldn't mind having Woody Marks on my team and I'll play him against
22:34the Giants for example and all that sort of stuff.
22:37But if you can go solicit offers, I think this is a good one to try to capitalize on whatever degree of enthusiasm there is for now.
22:45Like, oh hey, Texans, like maybe they're going to start winning games, turn around now after they got the first win of
22:51the season, sort of broke the seal there. And now you get to starting running back on this team.
22:57They're going to start scoring more because they traded for Marvin Harrison Jr.
23:01Like all that stuff, there's going to be enthusiasm out there that I think you can take advantage of.
23:06You're not going to trade him for like a superstar, but I think you can get better value than he will give you.
23:13Yeah, maybe you could go and reach and somebody says, hey, I need a running back.
23:17I'll give you Carnell Tate. You know, just go and look for offers like that and see what you could get.
23:24It's not going to be a superstar unless it's some kind of crazy situation.
23:28But if you don't specifically need Woody Marks and what you mentioned about the schedule was quite literally perfect, it's not ideal in the first place.
23:35And someone might be willing to overlook that because they need someone to start over the next couple of weeks.
23:41The guys in the same range in the receiver rankings as he is ranked in running backs rest of season are guys
23:47like Tate in Boston, Roma Doonze, just taking an upside swing.
23:51I see even DK Metcalf who I don't really love.
23:53Like I think a lot of those make sense as if you are okay not using a starting running back the next
24:00few weeks and find the manager in your league who desperately needs one.
24:04And I promise there's somebody out there who really needs one.
24:07And then I think you can take advantage. That's a good call.
24:10All right. We'll go ahead and wrap things up there.
