The Injuries Have Started

In a 10-team, two-receiver, one-flex format, AJ Brown should be retained over trade packages; the speaker prefers holding the best player rather than diversifying into multiple pieces. AJ Brown is positioned as a lateral move compared to Walker in a trade; the source endorses swapping a running back and wide receiver for another running back and wide receiver when the wide receiver is AJ Brown. In another scenario, AJ Brown is positioned as equivalent to London in trade value. AJ Brown should be kept over a trade offer of Ibuka and Lad Maki, as the league settings do not require two startable receivers to fill roster spots the way a 12-team double flex format would.

Amon-Ra St. Brown is positioned as a massive upgrade target in trades. Deandre Swift endorses acquiring him even if it requires paying running back depth like DeAndre Swift and Montgomery. In single-flex leagues, St. Brown is clearly preferred over Rico Dattle, though in double-flex 12-team formats the decision is less clear because the team likely needs St. Brown as a starter. St. Brown is part of a strong receiver core (alongside Lave, DJ Moore, and Quinton Johnson) that provides flexibility to trade for upgrades elsewhere.

Corum is part of a fair trade package alongside Malik Neighbors for AJ Brown; the speaker considers this a reasonable value point though preferring the Brown side.

Hall is identified as an upgrade in a multi-player trade where he moves from one side to another; the speaker frames this as part of a fair overall deal despite the complexity of multiple player swaps.

Brian Thomas Jr. appears in multiple trade scenarios with mixed context. He is cited as part of a strong wide receiver core (alongside Puka Nacua, CeeDee Lamb, Drake London) that allows teams to comfortably trade away from the QB position in superflex formats; however, he loses direct comparisons to ETN and is recommended as a clear downgrade trade target for Jadarian Price. In a 10-team two-receiver one-flex format, there is no reason to pick up an extra player like Thomas. He is also highlighted as part of a top-tier roster in shallow 10-team leagues alongside Puka Nacua, Rashi Rice, and Mike Evans.

Brock Bowers is a strong acquisition target in deeper league formats. In 12-team double-flex leagues, Deandre Swift endorses trading for Bowers paired with other assets to acquire CeeDee Lamb, and recommends trading Waddle and Ibuka for Bowers in shallow 10-team formats while picking up waiver-wire depth. Bowers represents a lateral move from AJ Brown in trade value and is recommended as an elite tight end option in 10-team, two-receiver, one-flex formats, though the trade is not recommended if the team already has Trey McBride. In direct comparisons, Bowers loses to Chase Brown when isolating core trade assets, though the overall deal is described as close and fair. Bowers is also identified as a downgrade from JSN in multi-player trades, though part of fair overall deals.

Now ranked ahead of DeAndre Swift; would be tough to take Swift over Irving in draft given Swift's injury situation and discomfort at practice.

If both DeAndre Swift and Montrell Manunga are injured and miss time, Caleb Williams may have 50 passing attempts per game, suggesting significant upside in passing volume and fantasy production.

Ranked below Jameson Williams in speaker's evaluation. In a trade discussion (Marshon Lloyd and Carnell Tate for Jameson Williams and Woody Marks), speaker prefers Jameson Williams over Tate, indicating Tate has less fantasy value in this context.

CeeDee Lamb is part of a strong wide receiver core (alongside Puka Nacua, Drake London, and Brian Thomas Jr.) that allows a team to comfortably make trades away from the position. Deandre Swift notes that if a team has Lamb and wants to stack with Dak Prescott in superflex, it's a reasonable fantasy move for entertainment value. Lamb is acquired in a trade for Jaxon Smith-Njigba, representing an upgrade (down-tier for JSN); Lamb is part of the Dallas Cowboys offense package that the source suggests is worth targeting if you are a Cowboys fan.

Chase Brown is a strong trade target with consistent winning value across multiple scenarios. Deandre Swift strongly prefers Chase Brown over Brock Bowers in direct comparison. In a 14-team single-start running back league, Chase Brown is described as 'by far and away the winning side' when acquired alongside Jaylen Coker for Wadd and Warren. In a two-receiver, one-flex format, acquiring Chase Brown and Rasheed Rice for Jamar Chase and Brooks is viewed favorably, with Swift noting 'Getting Chase Brown and Rashid Rice feels damn good.' Chase Brown is also viewed as a clear upgrade when paired with Amon-Ra St. Brown and DeAndre Swift in exchange for other assets. Additionally, Chase Brown is one of four viable running backs on a roster with strong depth at the position.

No realistic path to top-60 rankings; recommended drop candidate. Deandre Swift states there is no world in which Chris Bell achieves top-60 status, making him expendable for waiverwire running back pickups from uncertain backfields.

Chris Rodriguez is a concern for eating into Bayel Tuton's workload behind Toutin. Deandre Swift expresses worry that Rodriguez can reduce Tuton's touches and fantasy value, which is why Tuton cannot be ranked as a running back one in a 14-team format. However, Rodriguez also represents a small but meaningful waiverwire pickup opportunity after Jordan Tyson's IR placement; Swift prefers Rodriguez over Keaton Mitchell and assigns small probability that Rodriguez becomes the lead back over Tuton.

Christian McCaffrey is described as a completely different tier than any other asset; the source advises acquiring him in trades whenever possible because of his elite status. CMC is also cited as a top-tier running back option that provides sufficient depth to allow trading away secondary running backs in 10-team, 2-WR, 1-flex formats. However, in one trade scenario, CMC is downgraded relative to James Cook, with the speaker preferring Cook as the best player in the deal, though acknowledging the trade may be acceptable in superflex formats where double stacking is valued.

Christian Watson dropped in rankings behind Luther Burton (now WR23) due to potential Lions pass-heavy offensive shift if DeAndre Swift and Kyle Manungai miss time. In trade scenarios, Watson is valued as closer to Jaylen Waddle than other comparisons, and is preferred alongside Jaylen Judkins over Javonte Williams in a 10-team two-WR one-flex format where depth is less valuable. DeAndre Swift notes this ranking shift is personally painful as Watson is on his own fantasy team.

Value is contingent on Rome Odunze's injury status. If Odunze were seriously injured, Loveland would rank significantly higher in trade value and would have moved up even higher in rankings. Positioned as a potential breakout candidate if DeAndre Swift and Kyle Manungai are both injured and the Bears have to skew more pass-happy.

Lacks sufficient upside to contribute meaningfully in a 10-team league and should be dropped immediately to make room for higher-upside handcuffed running backs. While Allen may have good weeks, the unpredictability makes him unreliable for starting lineup purposes in shallow league formats.

DJ Moore is a flex-eligible wide receiver on a roster with strong receiver depth (St. Brown, Lave, DJ Moore in flex, Quinton Johnson), providing flexibility to trade for upgrades elsewhere.

Left practice on September 3rd in significant discomfort, holding his midsection; potential sports hernia or groin-related injury given extensive injury history including multiple groin strains (2018, 2021, 2024, 2025 reinjuries). Groin and core injuries are connected; this is a legitimate concern heading into season start on September 9th. Injury status is uncertain and requires official confirmation before major ranking adjustments or trades. Speaker is cautious about overreacting and does not assume Swift will miss two months, but notes it is something to monitor and be concerned about. There is a possibility Swift could be cleared as day-to-day within hours, but holding pattern recommended until clarity emerges. If Swift misses significant time, Bears may skew more pass-happy, increasing tight end opportunity.

Dak Prescott stacking with CeeDee Lamb is presented as acceptable for entertainment value in superflex formats, though not the speaker's preference. In a 10-team league, Dak is not particularly valuable; the speaker suggests trading for him is only worthwhile if you are a massive Dallas Cowboys fan, implying limited fantasy value in standard league formats.

Selected in round one of a 12-team PPR league; part of draft context for team evaluation showing early-round investment.

Adams is preferred over Michael Pittman Jr. in a trade comparison; the speaker would rather have Adams in a swap of running back and wide receiver.

David Njoku is positioned as a massive upgrade at tight end in trade scenarios. The source endorses acquiring him even if it requires paying running back depth like DeAndre Swift and Montgomery, framing him as part of a trade package that includes elite wide receiver upgrades like Amon-Ra St. Brown.

Achane is the best name in a proposed trade where he and Jameson Williams are given up for Bucky Chris and Brian Thomas; the speaker recommends keeping Achane rather than downgrading.

Derrick Henry is positioned favorably in a trade where Marshall Lloyd, Matthew Golden, and Drake London are exchanged for Joe Burrow and Henry. Deandre Swift views this as a 'very fair trade' depending on the team's existing quarterback depth (Kyler and Goff).

DeVonta Smith is traded away for Lad McConkey in a multi-player deal; the speaker assesses that Smith and McConkey are 'in the same tier,' indicating equivalent value in this trade context. Smith is also positioned as a clear downgrade in a trade where he is sent away for DeAndre Swift, though Swift's injury status is uncertain. Smith is part of a multi-player trade involving JSN, KD, Dobbins, Walker, Waddle, and Bowers; the speaker frames this as a fair trade despite involving many players.

DK Metcalf is positioned as a reliable, elite-tier wide receiver option worth paying for to secure production in a shallow format. The source frames him as a dependable anchor for a roster's receiving corps, indicating he is valuable enough to trade for when upgrading at other positions.

Drake London's trade value is format-dependent. In start-nine formats, Deandre Swift is hesitant about trading him away for Chase Brown, particularly if the league uses three wide receivers and double flex. However, London is part of a strong wide receiver core (alongside Puka Nacua, CD Lamb, and Brian Thomas) that allows a team to comfortably make trades away from the position in superflex formats. In direct comparison, London and AJ Brown are viewed as equivalent in value. When evaluated against Malite Neighbors, London is considered a lateral move or slight down-tier, and Swift recommends keeping London rather than trading for Neighbors in a 10-team, two wide receiver, one flex league.

Drake May is traded away alongside Kenneth Gainwell for Raandre Stevenson and Kyler Murray, indicating reduced trade value relative to the return. The trade structure suggests May is viewed as less valuable than the assets acquired in the deal.

Drake Maye is preferred over Trevor Lawrence in trade comparison. When evaluating the core trade of Lawrence for Maye, Deandre Swift states 'I'd rather have May,' indicating better value at the quarterback position.

ETN (Elijah Moore) is preferred over Brian Thomas in direct trade comparison. When isolating the core assets of a larger multi-player deal, Deandre Swift chooses ETN, indicating better value at the position.

George Kittle is identified as a trade target for teams desperate at running back; Deandre Swift suggests trading Tony Pollard and Jawan Johnson to acquire Kittle, with the plan to cut Isaiah Likely and pick up Jake Ferguson for week one, then transition to Kittle once he is fully healthy.

Isaiah Likely loses direct comparison to Michael Wilson and should be dropped in favor of Jake Ferguson. Deandre Swift strongly recommends cutting Likely and picking up Ferguson off the waiverwire, indicating Ferguson offers better value and upside at tight end. Likely is not preferred as a starting tight end option.

JK Dobbins is a candidate to trade away in a package deal (e.g., Dobbins plus Harold Fannon) to upgrade at tight end or wide receiver, since the roster has hit on Marshon Lloyd and has sufficient running back depth with four viable options.

Jamar Chase should be kept in a 10-team, two wide receiver, one flex format over a trade for CD Lamb and DeVonta Smith; Deandre Swift argues the marginal upgrade from Smith over available depth (Rasheed Rice, Baky Irving, Jameson Williams) does not justify downgrading from Chase to Lamb. Additionally, Swift suggests offering Amon-Ra St. Brown and JK Dobbins to acquire Chase, as the receiving team gains needed running back depth while the offering team upgrades at wide receiver.

In a superflex league trade, Jadarian Price (acquired for Josh Downs) is evaluated as moving up a tier in value. DeAndre Swift considers the overall trade fair and dependent on team needs and points-per-game delta between the players. Price is the target side of a recommended trade, with Swift stating acquiring him for Brian Thomas Jr. is 'not even really close' and becomes even more appealing in 14-team formats.

Jahmyr Gibbs is the cornerstone asset on the league-leading fantasy team. He anchors a monstrous running back room alongside Jaylen Warren and Marshon Lloyd, providing elite depth at the position. The source emphasizes that 'it really does help having Jir Gibbs' as a key reason the team maintains the number one ranking despite injuries to other positions.

Recommended as a tight end upgrade over Isaiah Likely, offering better value and upside in 10-team league format. Strategy is to cut Likely, pick up Ferguson off waivers, and start him in week one while waiting for another tight end option (KD) to return to full health; positions Ferguson as a low-cost streaming option with immediate starting value.

Jaylen Coker is described as 'a zero in this deal,' meaning he has negligible fantasy value in trade context and does not impact trade evaluation. He is acquired alongside Chase Brown for Wadd and Warren, but Brown is the clear winning side of the deal.

James Cook represents an upgrade over Christian McCaffrey in trade value. Deandre Swift prefers holding Cook as the best player in the deal, though acknowledges the appeal of a double stack (Cook + Travis Kelce) in superflex formats. Cook is viewed as equivalent in value to Chase Brown in trade context, with the speaker considering them interchangeable.

Jameson Williams dropped in rankings behind Luther Burton (now WR23) due to potential Lions pass-heavy offensive shift if DeAndre Swift and Kyle Manungai miss time. In trade discussions, Williams is preferred over Carnell Tate in a 14-team league where Marshon Lloyd is 100% startable. However, in a 10-team two-WR one-flex format, Williams is preferred alongside Jaylen Judkins over Javonte Williams, as depth is less valuable in shallower leagues. DeAndre Swift notes this ranking shift is personally painful as Williams is on his own fantasy team.

Javonte Williams is the receiving end of a trade where Jaylen Judkins and Christian Watson are given up. The speaker prefers the Judkins/Watson side in depth-dependent leagues, though notes the trade is acceptable in shallower 10-team formats where depth is less valuable. Williams is also part of a roster with four viable running backs (Chase Brown, Javonte Williams, Marshon Lloyd, JK Dobbins), providing flexibility. In a lateral trade, Javonte Williams is acquired for Tee Higgins.

Javante Williams is acquired in a trade for Jaylen Judkins and Christian Watson in a 10-team, two-receiver, one-flex format; the trade is presented as reasonable given the team's depth at wide receiver. Javante Williams is acquired in a trade for Tee Higgins; the source characterizes this as a lateral move, suggesting equivalent value between the two players.

JSN is recommended as a trade target; acquiring him in a deal that sends away Jaylen Jalin Neighbors and Jaylen Warren is viewed favorably by Deandre Swift. However, JSN is also being traded away in a separate package deal (JSN + Higgins for Dak + Lamb + Javante), representing a down-tier move where JSN to Lamb is characterized as a downgrade for the JSN owner.

Preferred over Colston Loveland in a trade comparison (Jaylen Waddle and Jonathan Brooks for Quentin Johnston and Loveland), though speaker notes Loveland would rank higher if Rome Odunze were seriously injured. Also represents an up-tier from Christian Watson in another trade scenario. Considered as a potential trade piece alongside Marvin Harrison to upgrade at wide receiver in a two-receiver, one-flex format.

Warren is positioned as a depth running back in a strong backfield alongside CMC and Barkley; in a 10-team, 2-WR, 1-flex format, running back depth does not matter when rostering elite lead backs. In trade discussions, Warren is downtiered in exchange for Marshon Lloyd, positioned as the less valuable side of a fair trade depending on positional need. However, Warren is also part of a monstrous running back room with Gibbs and Lloyd, providing elite depth at the position.

Jerry Jeudy lacks sufficient upside to contribute meaningfully in a 10-team league and should be dropped immediately. The source notes that while he may have good weeks, he is unpredictable for starting lineup purposes in a 10-team format. He should be dropped in favor of higher-upside handcuffed running backs.

Joe Burrow is viewed favorably as a draft pick in a two-receiver, one-flex format. Deandre Swift approves of taking Burrow at the sixth pick in that league structure. Additionally, in a league with limited waiver-wire quarterback options, rostering two quarterbacks after drafting Burrow is acceptable as a contingency strategy, though typically unnecessary.

Preferred over Quentin Johnston in trade evaluation; speaker would rather have Brooks and Jaylen Waddle side over Johnston and Colston Loveland. Also acquired in a trade for DeAndre Swift (alongside Quentin Judkins and Mahar for Lad McConkey), viewed as reasonable given Swift's injury scare. Recommended as an easy waiverwire pickup to replace Debo Samuel in a shallow 10-team league; acquiring Brooks expected to elevate a roster from number two to potentially number one in league rankings. Available on waivers as a free pickup.

Mason is part of a trade evaluation where he is being moved away for Malik Neighbors and Quentin Johnston in a 10-team league with strong running back depth; he is considered tradeable for wide receiver upgrades. Mason is positioned as an upgrade tier-wise from Henderson in a trade discussion, though the speaker notes the cost (DK Metcalf) to acquire him. Mason is identified as a running back three on rosters being evaluated for potential trade targets, indicating he is behind other running back options on the depth chart.

Drafted in round six; recommended waiverwire pickup with IR slot placement strategy. Deandre Swift suggests dropping Jaden Reed, picking up Tyson, placing him on IR, then re-acquiring Reed if desired—allowing roster flexibility in shallow leagues. Should be prioritized over Keaton Mitchell for roster construction in 10-team leagues.

In a superflex league trade, Josh Downs (traded for Jadarian Price) is evaluated as moving up a tier in value. Speaker considers the overall trade fair and dependent on team needs and points-per-game delta between the players.

Jacobs is suspended, creating a significant running back depth issue for a roster that also has Kairen Swift potentially injured, forcing the owner to consider trading up to tier at running back. In a separate trade discussion, Jacobs is part of a package but is not the primary focus; the value of the trade is driven by acquiring JSN rather than Jacobs.

Jefferson is recommended as a trade target. Deandre Swift traded away Kenneth Walker and some FAB dollars to acquire Jefferson. However, the source cautions that in leagues where depth is important—especially with Rome or Jonathan Brooke concerns—keeping Walker and Michael Pittman Jr. may be preferable to the uptier, as depth preservation can matter more than a single star upgrade depending on league settings.

Jawan Johnson is suggested as a trade piece alongside Tony Pollard to send to a team in exchange for George Kittle, as part of a tight end upgrade strategy.

Recommended drop candidate; Deandre Swift assigns 0% probability that Keaton Mitchell is the starting running back over Amari Hampton, indicating Mitchell has no realistic path to lead-back role; Chris Rodriguez is preferred over Mitchell due to superior depth chart positioning.

Walker is the receiving end of a trade for Rasheed Rice, assessed as 'up tiering' and improving in value. Walker is positioned as a depth asset with hold value in leagues with injury concerns; Deandre Swift prefers keeping Walker and Michael Pittman over trading them away for an uptier like Justin Jefferson, citing the importance of depth in league settings. In a 10-team, 2-WR, 1-flex format, depth matters somewhat, making Walker a reasonable hold rather than a sell-low candidate.

Pitts is valued lower than Colston Loveland in trade discussions, especially with Rome Odor likely healthy. Watson and Wadd are closer in value than Loveland and Pitts, positioning Pitts as the less attractive side of a trade comparison.

Kyler Murray is acquired in a trade but Deandre Swift recommends against relying on him every week. Instead, Swift suggests picking up Brock Purdy off waivers to play matchups between the two quarterbacks, indicating Murray alone is not a confident weekly starter.

McConkey is the receiving end of a trade for DeVonta Smith; the speaker assesses that McConkey and Smith are 'in the same tier,' indicating equivalent value in this trade context.

Identified as the best player in a trade package involving multiple players; Deandre Swift recommends making the deal to acquire him, suggesting he represents strong value in the proposed trade.

Luther Burden is positioned as an up-tier upgrade compared to Marshon Lloyd in a trade scenario. The source endorses the trade enthusiastically, indicating Burden offers better value and production potential than Lloyd.

Being traded away in a package deal (Andrews + Brooks for Tucker Kraft), suggesting diminished value in the current market; Deandre Swift indicates this trade is feasible in a 10-team, 2-WR, 1-flex format where tight end depth can be sacrificed when rostering elite running backs like CMC and Barkley.

Marvin Harrison Jr. is being considered as a potential trade asset to sell in order to upgrade at wide receiver; Deandre Swift suggests packaging him with Jaylen Waddle to move up in receiver quality.

Pittman is recommended as a depth hold in leagues where depth matters; Deandre Swift advises against trading away Pittman and Kenneth Walker to upgrade to a single star player like Justin Jefferson, emphasizing that depth preservation is more valuable than an uptier in certain league settings. In a 10-team, 2-WR, 1-flex format, depth is important enough to justify holding both assets.

Michael Wilson is preferred over Isaiah Likely in direct comparison. Deandre Swift is additionally excited about Wilson's potential role after the recent Michael Wilson deal, noting the possibility that Arizona may feature him over Marvin Harrison, suggesting increased opportunity and upside.

Available as handcuff/backup option to cover if Ashen Genty misses week one; provides injury contingency for teams with Genty.

Parker Washington is favored in a trade where Caleb Williams and DeAndre Swift are exchanged for Baker Mayfield and Parker Washington in a 14-team double flex format; Deandre Swift prefers the Parker Washington side despite noting the trade is 'very close,' suggesting Washington offers better value than the alternative.

Puka Nacua is part of a strong wide receiver core (alongside CeeDee Lamb, Drake London, and Brian Thomas Jr.) that allows a team to comfortably make trades away from the position in superflex formats. This receiver depth makes trading away a quarterback unnecessary in superflex leagues, and Deandre Swift is comfortable endorsing trade scenarios where a manager has this receiver depth. Nacua is identified as one of three startable running backs remaining after a potential Judkins trade in a 10-team, two-WR, one-flex format, indicating he holds a secure role in the offense.

Ranked below Jonathan Brooks in trade evaluation; speaker prefers Brooks and Jaylen Waddle side over Johnston and Colston Loveland. Considered useless in a 10-team, two wide receiver, one flex league format; speaker states Johnston will never hit the lineup in this league structure, making him an unreliable fantasy asset despite having bench depth at receiver (St. Brown, Lave, DJ Moore in flex).

Rasheed Rice is traded for Kenneth Walker and the speaker assesses this as 'up tiering,' meaning the manager receiving Kenneth Walker is improving in value. Rice is also acquired alongside Chase Brown for Jamar Chase and Brooks in a two-receiver one-flex format; Deandre Swift views the Chase Brown and Rice side as the winning side, with Rice feeling 'damn good' as part of the return.

High-upside handcuffed running back recommended as a waiver-wire pickup in 10-team leagues; can be acquired immediately and potentially traded later for value.

Ricky Pearsall is injured, creating a situation where a roster with strong wide receiver depth (Rome, Marvin Harrison, Mai Lemon on bench) can absorb the injury without significant impact.

RJ Harvey is listed as part of a strong running back core in a shallow league format.

Rome Odunze has a minor injury with good news indicating it is not serious. DeAndre Swift recommends not overreacting and moving him down only slightly in rankings. Until further explanation, Swift would prefer DJ Moore over Odunze straight up.

Saquon Barkley is cited as a top-tier running back option that provides sufficient depth to allow trading away secondary running backs; in a 10-team, 2-WR, 1-flex format, having Barkley as a lead back makes running back depth expendable. Barkley is listed as part of a strong running back core (CMC, Saquon Barkley, Marshon Lloyd, RJ Harvey) in a shallow league format.

Selected in round three of a 12-team PPR league; part of draft context for team evaluation.

Tee Higgins is a lateral trade value swap for Travis Etienne, with Deandre Swift viewing the exchange as roughly equivalent in tier. Higgins is also identified as a lateral move to Javante in a multi-player trade package (JSN + Higgins for Dak + Lamb + Javante), suggesting equivalent value in that context.

Tony Pollard is suggested as a trade piece to send to a KD-needy team in exchange for George Kittle, as part of a strategy to upgrade at tight end for a team that needs running back help.

Travis Etienne to Tee Higgins is characterized as a lateral move in trade value. Deandre Swift views the swap as roughly equivalent in tier.

In a 10-team league format, Travis Kelce is worthless and holds no meaningful fantasy value, making him a non-factor in trade evaluations. The speaker views Kelce and Trey McBride as similar in range, questioning the fantasy value gained from trading away one for the other in the context of a team with strong depth.

No realistic path to top-60 rankings; Deandre Swift states there is no world in which Trey Tucker achieves top-60 status, making him a recommended drop candidate to free roster space for waiverwire running back pickups from uncertain backfields.

Trevor Lawrence is not much better than a waiverwire quarterback and loses direct comparison to Drake Maye. Deandre Swift prefers Maye in trade evaluation. Lawrence is a candidate to trade away in a two-for-one deal to upgrade elsewhere, though finding a willing trade partner will be difficult given the weak waiverwire quarterback landscape.

Trey McBride is a justified tight end acquisition in shallow formats with strong team depth. Deandre Swift enthusiastically endorses acquiring McBride in a two-receiver, one-flex format where the team is already strong at running back (CMC, Saquon Barkley, Marshon Lloyd, RJ Harvey) and wide receiver. Swift notes that 'in a shallower format like this where you have a strong team, you can afford going getting McBride there,' indicating that elite tight end investment is incentivized in 10-team, two-receiver, one-flex leagues.

Tucker Craft is the target in a trade where he is acquired for Mark Andrews and Brooks, suggesting he is viewed as a valuable upgrade or at least equivalent value in the current market.

Tucker Kraft is acquired in a trade where Jonathan Brooks and Mark Andrews are sent away. Deandre Swift approves of this trade given the team's running back depth (CMC, Barkley, Jaylen Ward) in a 10-team, two-receiver, one-flex format, where running back depth is less critical.

Tyler Warren is a strong trade target with significant value. In one trade scenario, he is acquired alongside Quentin Judkins for Trey Tuttin, with Deandre Swift noting that Judkins and Tuttin are in the same tier but 'if you get Tyler Warren for free then hell yeah. It's a no-brainer.' In another scenario, he is positioned as an upgrade target where a team with running back depth (JK Dobbins and Harold Fannon) could trade those assets to acquire him and strengthen their tight end position.

Evaluated as worthless in a trade discussion where he is acquired alongside Jameson Williams for Marshon Lloyd and Carnell Tate. Speaker's assessment suggests Marks has minimal fantasy value and does not meaningfully improve the receiving side of the trade.
