A.J. Brown

PositiveValue5:27

The source identifies AJ Brown as a recommended trade target for teams with strong records (4-0) looking to bolster their rosters with high-end talent.

Insight page

Aaron Jones

NegativeProjection7:12

The source argues that 31-year-old Aaron Jones is a declining asset. While he has been fantasy-viable due to high volume (23-28 opportunities per game), he has not been a superb performer, and the source believes he will lose his starting role to Jordan Mason soon.

Insight page

Breece Hall

PositiveValue4:28

Breece Hall is a buy-low candidate while dealing with a multi-week injury that is expected to keep him out for only one or two more games. His usage in weeks one and two was elite, with 24 and 21 total opportunities respectively, making him a strong target for managers looking to the future. Despite concerns about the Jets' offense, he maintains RB1 upside due to his consistent volume of 20-plus opportunities per game.

Insight page

Christian Watson

PositiveProjection9:50

Despite a recent 7.7-point performance on three targets, Christian Watson is a buy-low candidate. The Packers' target tree is now highly concentrated between Watson and Matthew Golden; the team faces a stretch of games where Jordan Love will likely be forced to throw aggressively, making Watson a top-24 wide receiver rest-of-season.

Insight page

Dalton Kincaid

PositiveProjection12:44

Dalton Kincaid is a mid-tier TE1 (ranked TE6) despite recent low fantasy outputs. His underlying usage is encouraging, as he is consistently playing over 60% of snaps, unlike last season. With DJ Moore dealing with a shoulder injury and a lack of high-volume target competition from Keon Coleman or Khalil Shakir, Kincaid remains a strong fantasy asset.

Insight page

Fernando Mendoza

PositiveProjection3:57

The source speculates that if the Raiders struggle over the next three weeks, Fernando Mendoza could take over at quarterback, which would potentially improve the offensive upside for the team and Ashton Genty.

Insight page

Jalen Coker

PositiveValue14:10

Jalen Coker is a recommended buy due to an injury discount and upcoming bye week timing. Coker showed high volume with nine targets in both weeks one and two before his quad injury. He is ranked as the WR31, serving as a viable flex option, though Jalen McMillan remains the clear alpha in the offense.

Insight page

Jonathan Taylor

NegativeValue5:14

The source currently rosters Jonathan Taylor and is willing to trade him away in a deal to acquire Ashton Genty to secure additional assets.

Insight page

Jordan Mason

PositiveRole6:08

Jordan Mason is a high-priority trade target who may only miss one more game due to his IR stint and the Vikings' Week 6 bye. The source expects him to take over as the starting running back for the Minnesota Vikings upon his return, noting that Aaron Jones has been volume-dependent but inefficient. The source reiterates Mason as a recommended trade target, noting the strategic advantage of acquiring players during their bye weeks.

Insight page

Keon Coleman

PositiveUsage13:46

The source expresses skepticism regarding Keon Coleman's potential for high-volume target production in the Bills' offense, grouping him with Khalil Shakir as unlikely to be high-volume earners.

Insight page

Khalil Shakir

PositiveUsage13:49

The source expresses skepticism regarding Khalil Shakir's potential for high-volume target production in the Bills' offense, noting that he and Keon Coleman are unlikely to be high-volume earners.

Insight page

Matthew Golden

PositiveValue9:52

Matthew Golden is a top-24 wide receiver rest-of-season due to the Packers' newly concentrated target tree. He is considered the cheaper buy-low option compared to Christian Watson.

Insight page

Rashee Rice

PositiveValue15:13

Rashee Rice is a recommended trade target following his hamstring injury. The source views the current downtime as an opportunity to acquire him while he is sidelined.

Insight page

Zach Charbonnet

PositiveValue8:10

The source has significantly increased Zach Charbonnet in their rankings, moving him from an average expert rank of 147 up to 88 overall (RB34) in their personal rest-of-season rankings, citing the lack of viable alternatives in the Seattle backfield. Although currently recovering from an injury, he has a strong chance to emerge as the starting running back for the Seattle Seahawks in the second half of the season.

0:00I have about seven B low candidates I
0:02want to talk through. And I'll be
0:03honest, a few of them are on my team.
0:04Maybe I'm a little biased, but I'll
0:06point them out as we go through.
0:07Starting with the most expensive name
0:09that we are going to see at the running
0:10back position. I do think we need to
0:12have a conversation about Ashton Genty.
0:14Now, there is a lot going on here. The
0:17big thing that I want to point out is
0:19the fact that Ashen Genty just simply
0:21has not been able to score the ball so
0:24far this season. This actually got sent
0:26in the Flock League group chat, but the
0:28most rushing yards without a rush
0:30touchdown so far this season. Jaylen
0:32Warren at one, which he may be on the
0:34sell high video depending on the Rico
0:36Dattle status. Ashton Genty at two.
0:39Gent's had 264 rushing yards without a
0:42rushing touchdown. And if you look at
0:44the underlying volume for Genty, it's
0:46actually been really, really strong.
0:48Like going through looking at week one,
0:50he had 29 opportunities. Week two, he
0:53has 28 opportunities. Week three, he has
0:5622 opportunities and 22 opportunities.
0:59Again, this week, he is currently
1:02averaging 19 and a half carries per
1:04game, as well as six targets per game.
1:08He's like the number one workhorse
1:09running back in the entire NFL at the
1:12moment. Now, again, it hasn't
1:14necessarily transitioned over to fantasy
1:16football points. There are a couple
1:18different things that you could point
1:19to. one, the Ashen Genty ankle injury
1:22that he suffered before the season
1:24started. A lot of people are saying that
1:27it looks like he's still bothering him.
1:29It looks like he doesn't have the juice
1:31that you would want him to, doesn't have
1:33the tackle breaking ability, and this is
1:35why he's only averaging 3.4 yards per
1:38attempt. But out of the two scenarios in
1:40which Genty was going to fail this
1:42season or he was going to start off
1:44slow, one, him being limited with an
1:47injury that should get better over time,
1:49or two, the Raiders just being a garbage
1:52offense like they were last year, I
1:54would way rather it be due to the Ashen
1:57Genty ankle injury because again, that
1:59should be something we expect him to be
2:00able to play through and get better as
2:03time goes on. But this Raiders team has
2:06actually proven to be a pretty good
2:08offense in general. They almost just
2:10beat the Kansas City Chiefs to move to
2:124-0. If I go through and pull up their
2:15upcoming schedule, I mean, right now
2:17they are going to have to play against
2:18the New England Patriots in New England,
2:21then they get the Buffalo Bills at home,
2:23then they get the Rams at home. So, the
2:25next three weeks it is going to be very
2:27tough. There's a nonzero% chance. It's
2:30unlikely, but I do want to point it out.
2:32non 0% chance they drop the next three
2:34weeks, fall to four and four, and then
2:37all of a sudden we get Fernando Mendoza
2:39under center, which in my opinion, I
2:41know this may be a hot take, I actually
2:43think that would be good for the upside
2:44of this offense, and I think it would be
2:46good for the upside of Ashen Genty in
2:48general. But I don't want to speculate
2:50there too too much. The main thing that
2:52I want to point out is Gent is just
2:54getting the volume of what you would
2:55have seen with the prime Christian
2:57McCaffrey. And if for whatever reason
3:00the efficiency turns its tide, whether I
3:03don't know, the ankle injury just gets
3:05better or the small sample does regress
3:08in the opposite direction. I think Jinxy
3:10can still be a top five running back
3:12this year. So I mean, I'm sitting here
3:14with Jonathan Taylor on my own fantasy
3:17team. I would be very interested in
3:18seeing if I could trade Jonathan Taylor
3:21for Ashen Genty and get a significant
3:23upgrade elsewhere. The only bad thing is
3:26the team that has Ash and Genty in my
3:28league, they don't really have the
3:29additional pieces to pay me to make that
3:31move. So, it's probably not going to be
3:32possible in my league, but maybe it's
3:34possible in yours. Now, going over to
3:36our next bo candidate, we are going to
3:38have a Bree Hall candidate here. And
3:41with Bree, obviously, he is dealing with
3:43a multi-week injury. He did just miss
3:46out on the first week. Now, it's not
3:48like Bree Hall hit the injured reserve.
3:50It's not like this team's expecting him
3:52to miss four weeks. The initial word was
3:54Breece was going to be out two to three,
3:56right? So Bree is going to be out two to
3:58three. He's already missed one. You're
4:00only looking at one to two additional
4:02missed weeks of for Mr. Hall. And if we
4:04go back and look at the involvement that
4:06he had in this New York Jets offense in
4:08weeks one and two, week one, Bree Hall
4:11had 22 carries as well as two targets
4:13for 24 total opportunities. In week two,
4:16Bree Hall had 16 carries, five targets
4:19for 21 total opportunities. So yeah, he
4:22hasn't hit 20 fantasy points in a game
4:25and on top of that he is currently
4:26injured. But if we try to project this
4:28out going into the future, very similar
4:30to Ashen Genty, I think the biggest
4:33concern I had for Bree Hall coming into
4:35the season was this New York Jets
4:37offense just being a train wreck. The
4:39Jets being the Jets of old and this team
4:41not being able to move the ball
4:43downfield, this team not being able to
4:45pick up first downs. But I mean, hell,
4:47they've proven to not be good, but there
4:50is serviceable offense where I do think
4:52if Bree Hall comes back and he's healthy
4:55in a week or two and all of a sudden we
4:57can see them picking up first downs,
4:59having trips to the red zone, and Bree
5:01Hall still getting these 20 plus
5:02opportunities a game, he has running
5:04back one upside. Now, for me, I'm not
5:07going to be able to trade for Breeall in
5:08my league because I'm one and three at
5:11the moment, right? And I do want to
5:13point this out for anybody watching
5:14this. You really should be adjusting
5:17your specific trade strategy to what
5:20your current situation is. If you are a
5:224-0 roster, hell, trading for Bree Hall
5:25makes a ton of sense. Even going out
5:27there and putting out some feelers for a
5:29player like AJ Brown makes a lot of
5:31sense as well. However, if you have a
5:33garbage team like I do and you're one
5:35and three, you're 0 and4, you have no
5:38business going and putting a fueler out
5:39for a breeze. I mean to myself and any
5:42other one and three any other 0 and4
5:44teams of the moment you need to be
5:47prioritizing wins in the short term. We
5:50need a win this week. We need a win next
5:53week. We need to try to get back into
5:54the playoff hunt. Try to be a 500 team
5:57yet again. You're not going to be able
5:58to do that trading for a long-term
6:00asset. So again, one and three teams,
6:02you're not interested in the injured
6:03players. That's going to be for the
6:05three in one. That's going to be for the
6:064 and0. Now, we're going to go over to
6:08another injured guy, and that is going
6:10to be Jordan Mason. I don't want to give
6:12the specifics of the Jordan Mason trade.
6:15Actually, it was already done in a live
6:17stream, so I can. So, in the Flock
6:19League, we actually just saw that Nathan
6:22was able to trade for Jordan Mason, and
6:24the price that he paid was Mai Lemon and
6:27some Fab Dollars. And I actually think
6:29that makes a ton of sense because if we
6:31go through and we look at the timeline
6:32of Jordan Mason's injury here, Jordan
6:35Mason's a running back that got placed
6:37on the IR. He had to have the thumb
6:38surgery back in week two. We were told
6:41that this was going to be a four to six
6:42week injury. Now he gets placed on the
6:45IR. He's going to miss a mandatory four
6:47weeks. So that means he is missing weeks
6:502, 3, four, five. But then what we could
6:54see happen is him back the following
6:56week. But it gets even better. The
6:59Minnesota Vikings have a week six buy.
7:01So Jordan Mason, he was going to be
7:04missing that game regardless. So if you
7:06take that into account, he may only miss
7:08one more game before he comes back to
7:10this Minnesota Vikings backfield. And if
7:12we look at what Aaron Jones has done in
7:16replacement for Jordan Mason so far this
7:18season, obviously Aaron Jones has been
7:21very much viable from a fantasy
7:24perspective based off of volume, volume,
7:27volume, volume. But has he been a superb
7:31running back at 31 years old? No, he
7:34hasn't. This man had 28 opportunities
7:37this past week. He scored 16 fantasy
7:39points. He had 23 opportunities the week
7:42prior. He scored 14 fantasy points. He
7:45had 23 opportunities the week before
7:47that and he scored 10 fantasy points. So
7:50I think at this point we can look at
7:52Aaron Jones, the 31-year-old running
7:54back, and say he probably doesn't have
7:56it anymore. When Jordan Mason is back,
7:59there is a damn good chance that he is
8:01just the starting running back for the
8:03Minnesota Vikings. And we may only have
8:05one more Vikings game until that ends up
8:08happening. Let me move over to Zack
8:10Charbanet. Now, Zack Sharpet is a
8:12running back that I honestly moved up my
8:14rankings in a dramatic way this past
8:17week. Just looking at the rankings
8:19history on flockfantasy.com,
8:21the average ranking for Zack Charbanet
8:24before he went back to practice was 184.
8:27Now, he is up to 147 in the expert
8:30average. I personally have Zack
8:32Charbanet ranked at 88 overall in my
8:36rest of season rankings. I have him
8:37ranked at 34 in my running back ranks.
8:41Couple different things. One, Jadarian
8:43Price gets injured. He goes on the
8:45injured reserve. The Seattle Seahawks
8:47coaching staff, they look around. They
8:48go, "Hey, we have no faith in Emanuel
8:50Wilson. We have no faith in George
8:52Alani. We need to bring in another
8:54running back." They call up Joe Mixon.
8:56They say, "Hey, man. You want to come to
8:57Seattle?" He says, "Yes." They get him
8:59in the building, signs a contract to the
9:02practice squad. They run through a
9:03physical and they go, "Oh crap. Yeah, I
9:06guess Joe Mixon shot himself in the foot
9:09last off seasonason, right? That's why
9:11he didn't play for the Houston Texans
9:12last year. Yeah, we're not bringing him
9:14back in. So, now if we look at this
9:16Seattle Seahawks running back room, you
9:18have Emanuel Wilson, George Alani
9:20splitting here in the short term. You
9:22have Zack Sherman not coming in this
9:25week. It's going to take him a couple
9:26weeks, but Zack Sherman back at practice
9:29this week. Probably back in two, three
9:31weeks. I wouldn't expect to be able to
9:33start Zack Sharpet anytime soon, but in
9:35the second half of the season, there's a
9:37damn good chance that Zack Charbanet is
9:39the starting running back for the
9:41Seattle Seahawks. And we just saw
9:42Emanuel Wilson have himself a phenomenal
9:45day while doing so. Now, let's move over
9:47to two players I need to discuss, and
9:50this is going to be Christian Watson as
9:52well as Matthew Golden. Now, I'm going
9:54to be very honest with you. I have
9:56Christian Watson on my own fantasy team
9:58and it was horrific to see him have a
10:01total of three targets this past week
10:03and score 7.7 points against the Tampa
10:07Bay Buccaneers. I wanted to cry. I
10:09almost had to do the milk mile because
10:11of it. Absolutely brutal. But I think
10:15this was a very interesting spot for
10:18Watson in terms of just the Packers
10:21winning the game. Cuz what we know about
10:23this Green Bay Packers team is they
10:25still have no running back, right? So
10:28ultimately in any close contest or any
10:31game in which they aren't going to
10:33easily win, they're not playing against
10:35a Bucks team with an undrafted free
10:37agent quarterback under center, we are
10:39going to see Jordan Love have a
10:41ridiculous amount of pass attempts. And
10:43if we look at their schedule going into
10:45the future this week, the Green Bay
10:47Packers play against the Chicago Bears.
10:50This is a game in which the Bears are
10:52favored right now on Poly Market US.
10:54They have a 58% chance of winning. The
10:57spread is two and a half points. The
10:59overunder of this game is 45 a.5. Now,
11:02of course, if you want to check out any
11:04of those markets, you can find the link

11:15every state outside of Nevada. But this
11:18week, the Packers, they are projected to
11:20lose this Bears game. And then look at
11:22the stretch of games they get after
11:23this. The Dallas Cowboys with a garbage
11:26defense, but the Cowboys are going to
11:28put points on the board against them at
11:29Detroit. The best potential matchup you
11:32could ever have for Christian Watson.
11:34Then versus Carolina in week eight, like
11:38we are about to get a fourame stretch
11:41where we could see 40 plus pass attempts
11:43for Jordan Love. And this target tree is
11:47way more concentrated than it's ever
11:48been in Green Bay. We know the Packers
11:51had been notorious for going through and
11:53using a wide receiver by committee
11:55approach. Like in years past, none of
11:58these guys were playing a ton of snaps.
12:00You had Romeo Dobs, Dantabian Wixs,
12:02Jaden Reed, Christian Watson, Matthew
12:05Golden, all cycling through last season.
12:07Well, this year it's very different.
12:09This year we have Dobs in New England,
12:12Wixs in Philly, Reed on the IR. It's
12:15only Christian Watson and Matthew Golden
12:17and that's it. Then plus Tucker Craft. I
12:19think most weeks it's not going to be
12:21like what we just had against the Tampa
12:22Bay Buccaneers. Most weeks the Green Bay
12:24Packers are going to have to throw the
12:26ball aggressively. It's a very
12:28concentrated target tree between Watson
12:30and Golden. I am ranking both guys very
12:33easily as top 24 wide receivers rest of
12:35season. And I would say probably Matthew
12:38Golden would be the cheaper guy to buy
12:39between the two. But you know, I got to
12:42root for my guy Christian Watson. Now,
12:44another player that I'm going to be
12:45rooting for on my own team that has been
12:47horrific in back-to-back weeks is going
12:50to be Dalton Conincaid. So Concincaid
12:52scored 3.8 fantasy points in week three,
12:561.7 fantasy points in week four, and now
13:00all of a sudden everybody, including
13:02myself, we're concerned. We are nervous.
13:05But I wanted to look at the underlying
13:07usage that we had for Concaid here and
13:09try to figure out, okay, is this
13:11something like what we saw from last
13:14season because the problem with what
13:15we've had from Dalton Concade
13:17historically is the injuries just
13:19severely limited him. He wasn't able to
13:21get out there on the field where last
13:23season he did not play a single game
13:25with over 60% of the snaps. Well, in
13:28week three against the Chargers, he was
13:30at 67%. Week four against the New
13:32England Patriots, he was at 59%. So
13:35Concade still getting on the field,
13:37which is again the biggest thing we need
13:39from him. This is still a very good
13:41offense. And DJ Moore is still dealing
13:44with this shoulder injury. I personally
13:46have seen enough of Keon Coin as well as
13:49Kalo Shakir to think it's a safe
13:51assumption that neither one of those
13:53guys are going to be super high volume
13:55target earners. So I am still viewing
13:57Concaid as a mid tight end one in
14:00fantasy. I currently have him as my
14:02Titan six and I'm super excited to see
14:05him in prime time this week, especially
14:08if you have no DJ Moore. Now, the last
14:10name that I need to point out is going
14:11to be Jaylen Coker. So, with Coker,
14:14y'all know that I wasn't big on drafting
14:17him this year just cuz we love Tedaro
14:19McMillan so damn much. But, I do have to
14:21give Jaylen Coker his flowers because
14:24through the first two weeks this season,
14:26Jaylen Coker had nine targets week one,
14:29eight receptions. Week two, nine
14:31targets, eight receptions. He had been
14:33seeing a considerable amount of volume.
14:36Things were trending to be that same
14:37exact way in week three until he went
14:39down with a quad injury. Obviously, that
14:41caused him missing week four. But one of
14:43the best things that you can do in
14:45fantasy football is if there is an
14:47injury discount for a player where
14:49they're going to be out for a week or
14:50two and they're going into their
14:52by-week, it's a really good idea to
14:54trade them because that player and every
14:56player in fantasy right now is going to
14:58have to go through that buy regardless.
15:01So, you would almost think that this is
15:02the perfect timing for a Jen Coker
15:05injury. Other names that we have already
15:06discussed like Jordan Mason, right? The
15:08Minnesota Vikings have that week six
15:10buy. great name to go out there and
15:12trade for. Or honestly, you could throw
15:14Rashi Rice into this list where Rice
15:16just had the hamstring injury, but he
15:18was going to be missing this week
15:19anyway. Maybe a decent little name to
15:21trade for. I think that Jaylen Coker
15:23fits that same mold. I think coming out
15:25of the by-week in week six. Um Jaylen
15:27Coker probably will be close to 100%
15:30knowing that he was practicing in week
15:32four. So, I wouldn't mind going out
15:33there and putting some feelers out. I
15:35currently have Jaylen Coker ranked as my
