I'm Worried

The source prefers A.J. Brown over Tee Higgins in a difficult matchup decision, noting that Higgins is less exciting if Lamar Jackson doesn't play because the game is less likely to turn into a shootout. Brown is also acquired in a trade where Nick trades away JSN and Tyler Warren for Christian McCaffrey and A.J. Brown, evaluated as 'kind of a fair deal' that supports the roster's need to upgrade at running back.

Elite wide receiver with strong hold value in trade scenarios. Flock Fantasy includes A.J. Brown in a trade package (along with Christian McCaffrey) that the source advises a team to acquire, describing the deal as 'kind of a fair deal' but necessary given roster needs. Later, the source advises against selling A.J. Brown right now, noting 'I think you can afford to up tier. There aren't many teams where I would say go get CD Lamb here cuz I actually really don't want to be selling AJ Brown right now,' indicating strong conviction in holding him despite roster strength.

Flock Fantasy recommends cutting Alec Pierce in favor of Jordan Addison, indicating Pierce is expendable depth and should be dropped to make room for Addison's return.

Alvin Kamara's fantasy ceiling is severely capped and the source would cut him in favor of Emitt Johnson; Kamara is on bye next week and the source does not see a clear path for him to help a 6-0 team. Additionally, the source expresses concern about Kamara's role and usage, noting that his ceiling is limited even with no Jeremiah Love in the backfield, as Bam Knight's usage last week makes the decision tougher than expected. The source also describes Kamara filling in at running back as 'disgusting,' indicating dissatisfaction with him as a backup option.

The source recommends Amari Cooper as a flex option with a good matchup against Miami. Additionally, the source prefers Amari Cooper over Antonio Williams in a trade comparison, indicating Cooper has better value.

Flock Fantasy identifies Amon-Ra St. Brown as an undoubted upgrade over Justin Jefferson in a trade, though the source still prefers the De'Andre Swift and Jefferson side over the Quinshaun Judkins and St. Brown side in a broader roster comparison.

Flock Fantasy states they need to move Antonio Williams up in their rankings, indicating an upward reassessment of his value based on trade activity and performance.

Ashton Jeanty is a clear upgrade over Bucky Irving; the source calls acquiring Jeanty an easy upgrade and recommends taking the Jeanty side of a trade that includes Zamir White and Cam Akers, describing it as an 'absolute no-brainer.' Jeanty is part of the winning side in this trade comparison.

Flock Fantasy indicates they need to move Ekeler down in their rankings after reviewing a trade, suggesting a downward reassessment of his value.

Back at practice; the source wants to raise expectations for the Buccaneers offense in general with his return, though Egbuka's injury dampens the upside.

Bam Knight received unexpected usage last week that complicates flex recommendations in his backfield; Flock Fantasy notes the usage surge makes it 'way, way tougher' to recommend other Saints running backs like Alvin Kamara for flex play, even with Jeremiah Love sidelined.

Flock Fantasy confirms that trading Christian McCaffrey for Bijan Robinson is a clear upgrade, validating the move as part of a successful trade sequence that transformed a 0-2 team into a contender.

Blake Corum is a backup running back on a 6-0 team with conditional breakout potential; the source identifies him as a what-if candidate who becomes a league-winner if starter Kyren Williams is injured, framing him as a high-upside depth piece contingent on opportunity.

Braelon Allen is listed as a running back on a 2-4 team roster being evaluated for trade options.

Breece Hall suffered an injury with uncertain return timeline; Flock Fantasy notes 'Who knows about Breece?' but expects clarity within a day or two. His injury was part of a cascade of RB injuries devastating one team's roster. However, if he plays, he is in a phenomenal setup and should be started, indicating strong matchup appeal once healthy.

Brevin Jordan is preferred over Lawrence in a trade scenario and represents an absolute no-brainer, great deal—especially strong value if paired with Brock Purdy, suggesting strong quarterback-receiver synergy.

Brian Thomas is ranked as wide receiver five on this roster, positioned below the three absolute hammers and DJ Moore but still part of the core wide receiver group.

Brock Bowers is identified as the tight end anchor on this roster, positioned as the primary tight end target with no concerns about his role. However, the source rejects a trade proposal where Bowers (along with Chris Olave and Mike Evans) would be acquired in exchange for Jahmyr Gibbs and Colston Loveland, noting that the trade would leave the team with no running backs.

Pairing Brock Purdy with Brevin Jordan is described as an absolute no-brainer and great deal, suggesting strong quarterback-receiver synergy.

Bryce Young is the source's only potential cut, but in a six-point touchdown format, the source does not want to cut him; the source is trying to trade him away for anybody rather than drop him to waivers.

Bucky Irving is ranked RB 17 rest of season, close to Josh Jacobs (RB 18), but Flock Fantasy evaluates him as an easy downgrade target in trades; Irving was moved in a deal involving Ashton Jeanty, Woody Marks, and DeVonta Smith, with the source calling the Jeanty upgrade straightforward.

Caleb Williams is recommended over C.J. Stroud for a weekly start; Flock Fantasy notes both are in great spots but prefers Williams for the matchup. Bears are projected to score almost 27 points versus Saints at 21 points, and Caleb will run more than his counterpart. Williams is also identified as having tremendous value and is recommended as a trade target to acquire from teams that lost their starter and are starting a backup like Jacoby Brissett.

The source identifies Cam Akers as part of the clear winning side in a trade comparison, describing it as an 'absolute no-brainer' to take the Ashton Jeanty, Zamir White, and Cam Akers side over the alternative.

The source suggests trading Carnell Tate in combination with Saquon Barkley to acquire a more immediately productive running back like De'Andre Swift or Derrick Henry for a 2-4 team in need of wins.

CeeDee Lamb is one of two elite receiver 'hammers' on a phenomenal team; Flock Fantasy describes him as part of a strong roster alongside Ja'Marr Chase and Isaiah Likely. In trade discussions, the source rates Lamb's side as having superior value compared to D'Andre Swift and Matthew Golden in 10-team formats, though notes that if a team is desperate for running back depth, the trade is not league-losing.

Flock Fantasy identifies Chase Brown as a 'very intriguing buy low candidate' with a clear three-down workload in a very good offense, already through his bye week, making him an exciting acquisition target for contending rosters.

In a trade analysis, Chris Olave is traded away and the source calls it a likely downgrade. The source also rejects a trade proposal where Chris Olave (along with Mike Evans and Brock Bowers) is acquired in exchange for Jahmyr Gibbs and Colston Loveland, noting that the trade would leave the team with no running backs in a single-flex format.

Elite running back acquisition target in trade scenarios. Flock Fantasy advises a team to acquire McCaffrey (along with A.J. Brown) in exchange for JSN and Tyler Warren, describing the deal as 'kind of a fair deal' but necessary given the team's critical RB depth crisis (Trey Sermon as RB1, Henderson as RB2). The source emphasizes 'you have to do it because your running back position is the worst running back position I've ever seen in my entire life.' Later, the source affirms that trading Christian McCaffrey for Bijan Robinson is a clear upgrade as part of a series of successful trades that transformed a 0-2 team into a contender.

Flock Fantasy suggests Christian Watson may be a little bit overvalued in the current market, particularly when compared to Matthew Golden's value proposition, indicating the market has priced him higher than warranted.

Chuba Hubbard is a desirable trade target; the source identifies him as a potential acquisition when discussing moving Christian Watson, indicating Hubbard is a valuable running back to acquire for roster depth.

The source advises against trading away Colston Loveland as part of a deal that would leave the team with no running backs in a single-flex format; Loveland is part of a proposed trade for Chris Olave, Mike Evans, and Brock Bowers that the source rejects. In a separate trade evaluation, the source notes that a tight end downgrade from Luther Burden to Loveland is immaterial because Bijan Robinson is so clearly the dominant asset in that trade.

Colson Loveland is mentioned as part of a 2-4 team's roster construction, indicating he was drafted as part of a team-building strategy. Colson Loveland is mentioned as part of a 2-4 team's roster in a start-eight format league where the team currently ranks number one in league analyzer, indicating he is a usable piece in deep formats.

DJ Moore is ranked as wide receiver four on this roster, positioned below the three absolute hammers (JSN, Malik Nabers, Christian Watson) but still part of the core wide receiver group.

The source identifies De'Andre Swift as the one anchor running back on a 6-0 team that has scored the most points in the league and allowed the fewest points against them, positioning him as the primary back in a dominant roster. In trade analysis, the source recommends keeping De'Andre Swift over trading him away for Quinshaun Judkins, stating the Swift and Justin Jefferson side is preferable to the Judkins and Amon-Ra St. Brown side. However, the source expresses concern about De'Andre Swift's long-term outlook, noting that once Kyle Shanahan returns to the 49ers offense, it will likely become more of a running back by committee, which will diminish Swift's value going forward.

Flock Fantasy notes that D'Andre Swift is 'crushing at the moment' with no Kyle Manunga in the picture, indicating strong current performance and elevated role security.

Dak Prescott is listed as the quarterback on a 2-4 team roster being evaluated for trade options.

Dallas Goedert is suggested as a potential trade piece (in combination with Jaylen Coker) to acquire George Kittle, indicating he is viewed as expendable depth at tight end.

29-year-old trade candidate likely to depreciate in off-season value; the source recommends selling him now rather than holding. Specific trade scenarios include pairing him with Sam Darnold to move to injured players (Jordan Tyson, De'Anthony Shribling) to reduce scoring output and improve tank odds, or selling him alone to contenders for picks (27th second, 27th third).

The source confirms that trading Dave Montgomery for Diontae Pickens is a clear upgrade, as part of a successful trade sequence that improved a team's roster.

Did not practice and is expected to miss another week; the source notes Montgomery suffered an injury that was part of a cascade of RB injuries devastating the team's roster. With Montgomery sidelined, Woody Marks is expected to start against the Giants, where the Texans are massive favorites. The source suggests planning on alternatives like Damien Pierce and Jordan Mason.

In a trade analysis, Brock Bowers is traded for Derrick Henry; the source says it's up to the owner but Henry becomes the new RB2 after the trade. The source also suggests that selling Breece Hall and a receiver for Derrick Henry would make sense for a 2-4 team desperate for immediate production, as Henry provides more reliable output right now.

Flock Fantasy recommends offering Drake Maye or Caleb Williams to a team with C.J. Stroud to acquire DeVonta Smith as a flex upgrade, indicating Smith is a valuable target acquisition in trade scenarios.

Flock Fantasy identifies Drake Maye as having tremendous value and recommends offering him to teams weak at quarterback (e.g., those with Jacoby Brissett) to acquire skill-position upgrades like Rashee Rice or DeVonta Smith for flex spots. The source also notes that a team with both Drake Maye and Caleb Williams should consider selling one of them to improve their second flex spot, as having two starting-caliber quarterbacks is a luxury that can be monetized.

Dylan Sampson is back at practice and expected to play, but the source is worried about what his return means for Quentin Johnston's usage. The source indicates that Sampson's return to health will reduce target opportunities for other pass-catchers in the backfield, as Sampson is expected to be used as a receiver. This creates a usage concern for Johnston and other competing targets.

Entered concussion protocol since Sunday and is dealing with both a concussion and a foot injury; no word on severity of the foot injury yet. Late additions to concussion protocol typically miss at least one game, and the source expects Egbuka probably does not play this week. The source is uncertain about his availability and notes that Baker Mayfield's return to practice raises expectations for the Buccaneers offense in general, though Egbuka's injury dampens the upside.

George Kittle is a strong upgrade target at tight end worth acquiring via trade; on a contending 4-2 roster without a 2027 first-round pick, he should be kept rather than moved, especially given the Tyler Lockett injury context. The source emphasizes the team is a very clear contender with incredible depth, including viable tight end options in Tyler Boyd alongside Kittle.

Isaiah Likely is the elite tight end on a phenomenal team; Flock Fantasy highlights him as a key asset alongside Ja'Marr Chase and CeeDee Lamb in a strong roster. The source indicates Likely is a strong enough option at tight end that trading away Tucker Kraft for Luther Burden is a no-brainer, implying Likely provides sufficient production.

26-year-old wide receiver trade candidate in a dynasty rebuild. Flock Fantasy recommends selling Chase despite his 2027 productivity outlook, targeting younger wide receivers (like Matthew Golden) plus additional picks in return. The source explicitly states 'if you could move off of Jamarr Chase and get to just a much younger wide receiver and additional picks as well, that would be ideal,' but notes difficulty finding suitable trade partners with young assets.

Backup quarterback serving as a short-term fill-in option and also as a trade target indicator. Flock Fantasy notes Brissett is a viable short-term fill-in option for Lamar Jackson in superflex formats, providing adequate coverage while Jackson recovers. The source also identifies Brissett as the starting quarterback for a team that lost Jalen Hurts, using this situation as context for why acquiring Drake Maye or Caleb Williams would be a valuable trade target, implying Brissett represents a downgrade at the position.

Expected to come back next week; with Charbonnet also returning this or next week, the Seattle backfield will be a running back by committee where nobody is usable.

J'Darian Price is listed as a running back on a 2-4 team roster being evaluated for trade options.

The source strongly advises against trading away Jahmyr Gibbs in a single-flex format, noting that the player's wide receiver room is way better than the running back room and Gibbs should be kept as a core asset; Gibbs is part of a proposed trade for Chris Olave, Mike Evans, and Brock Bowers that the source rejects.

Jaylen Coker is suggested as part of a trade package (with Dallas Goedert) to acquire George Kittle, indicating he is viewed as a tradeable depth piece.

In a superflex format league, Jalen Hurts (referred to as 'Caleb') is one of two really strong quarterbacks when fully healthy; the source notes he can be relied upon as a primary QB in superflex scoring. Identified as one of three absolute hammers at wide receiver; the source uses 'JSN' (Jalen Hurts' initials) to describe him as a top-tier, high-confidence player in this roster construction. The source identifies JSN (Jalen Hurts' receiver) as one of three absolute hammers at wide receiver, indicating strong confidence in the receiving corps.

Jalin Hyatt (JSN) is discussed in a trade context where the source advises against down-tiering from him in a 10-team, two-wide receiver, one-flex format, as depth is not as critical in shallower leagues.

James Cook is a more valuable asset than Malik Nabers; the source would clearly trade Nabers for Cook, indicating strong conviction in Cook's value for the roster.

The source questions the value of acquiring Jared Goff in a 10-team superflex league, noting that quarterbacks should be available cheaper and that the trade cost (Tyler Allgeier, Trey Harris, mid-27th first, and early future second) is too high; the source suggests holding the second-rounder rather than including it in the deal.

Javonte Williams is a desirable trade target; the source expresses interest in acquiring him by trading Malik Nabers to improve roster depth. He is also one of four viable starting running backs on a contending team roster, providing depth and flexibility at a critical position on a team the source characterizes as 'incredible' and 'a very clear contending team.'

Jalin Smith-Njigba should not be traded away in a 10-team, two-wide receiver, one-flex format; Flock Fantasy opposes a deal structure that sends JSN for one wide receiver and one running back, emphasizing that depth is not as critical in shallower leagues and elite receivers should be retained.

Jaylen Waddle must be started in flex positions despite recent poor performance; he is significantly better than available alternatives. The source emphasizes that while Waddle has underperformed, he remains a clear play and was drafted as part of a 2-4 team's core roster construction.

Jaylen Warren is listed as a running back on a team with strong roster depth, positioned as a starting option in the lineup.

Did not practice and is expected to miss this week; the source notes Love probably will not play this week and will take time to ramp up after his return, making him a long-term play rather than an immediate production source. Any trade involving Love should be justified for end-of-season value only, as the short-term outlook is negative. Tyler Allgeier is expected to start in his place, though the source is not interested in starting Allgeier because he is splitting carries with Bam Knight.

The source calls the trade of De'Andre Swift for Jonathan Taylor a clear upgrade, with Taylor becoming the new RB1 after the trade. The source also identifies Jonathan Taylor as a potential trade target when discussing moving Malik Nabers, suggesting Taylor is a desirable running back to acquire for roster depth.

Jordan Addison is available on the waiver wire for free and can be used as a backfill option after trading away wide receiver depth to upgrade at tight end or quarterback positions, making him a valuable free acquisition to secure a clear upgrade inside a starting lineup.

The source frames Jordan Mason as a conditional breakout candidate on a 6-0 team, suggesting he could become the legitimate starting running back if given the opportunity. This positions him as a league-winner upside play with significant potential if circumstances change, though he is currently a backup with conditional value.

Injured wide receiver proposed as a trade target to reduce roster scoring output in a tanking strategy. Flock Fantasy suggests acquiring Tyson (along with De'Anthony Shribling) in exchange for Sam Darnold and Daniel Jones, reasoning that injured players 'aren't producing right now' and 'won't contribute to you winning games,' helping a tanking roster lower its point total. Tyson is rostered on the source's bench.

Josh Allen is positioned as a premium quarterback upgrade target in trade discussions. The source proposes offering Drake Maye and Emeka Egbuka for Allen, and separately suggests sending Jordan Love and Nico Collins to acquire him, indicating Allen commands significant trade value and is valued higher than the combinations offered for him.

Josh Jacobs is returning this week from suspension; Flock Fantasy frames his return as a major positive for a team's RB depth, saying 'You get bailed out with Jacobs coming back, man.' His return transforms the team's RB position from worst in the league to competitive. Jacobs is ranked RB 18 rest of season and is preferred by the majority of live chat viewers over Bucky Irving in a trade comparison.

The source indicates they need to move Ekeler down in their rankings after reviewing a trade, suggesting a downward reassessment of his value.

Limited with an ankle injury but the source is not worried about him and thinks Jefferson should be just fine this week. In trade analysis, the source recommends keeping Justin Jefferson over trading him for Amon-Ra St. Brown, noting that while St. Brown represents an upgrade, the overall De'Andre Swift and Jefferson side is preferable to the Judkins and St. Brown side.

The source recommends cutting Juwan Johnson to pick up Zach Charbonnet and build running back depth, contingent on upgrading the tight end slot. While Johnson was initially considered a potential flex pickup option with good projection, the recommendation reflects a prioritization of running back depth over his tight end role.

If Tyler Warren misses this week due to injury, Keenan Allen is a strong play, indicating favorable matchup appeal and increased target opportunity.

Flock Fantasy prefers Kendre Miller over Trayvon Henderson in a trade comparison, noting that while this week is a downgrade, long-term Miller is the preferred asset.

Kenneth Walker is identified as a valuable running back target; the source suggests pivoting from JSN to Walker would make sense for roster balance. Walker is also listed as one of four viable starting running backs on a contending team roster alongside Chase Brown, Bucky Irving, and Javonte Williams, providing depth and flexibility at a critical position.

Kyle Pitts is not a viable long-term starter; Flock Fantasy explicitly states 'You can't start Kyle Pitts going into the future, man,' indicating he cannot be relied upon as a fantasy option. The source would consider cutting him to pick up Raheem Black as a handcuff if McCaffrey were to go down, viewing Black as a league-winner if activated, though notes not to cut Pitts immediately after a strong performance.

Did not practice or was listed as limited; a viral video showed him walking with a limp, and the source believes he probably will not play this week. In a superflex league context, the source notes Jackson is one of two really strong quarterbacks when fully healthy, and Jacoby Brissett is available as a short-term fill-in while Jackson recovers.

Luther Burden is recommended in flex spot with hope that the game against the Patriots turns into a shootout, indicating a favorable matchup for volume and scoring.

Malik Nabers is identified as one of three absolute hammers at wide receiver on this roster, alongside JSN and Christian Watson, indicating strong confidence in his role and production. However, the source also suggests Nabers could be moved to acquire running back depth, noting: "you could very easily move Malik Nabers, pick up an additional running back, and just feel so much better about the team overall." Nabers is also listed as part of a strong receiver group that includes Zay Flowers, George Pickens, and Jordan Addison.

The source expresses uncertainty about whether Marvin Harrison will be startable and advises against starting him in flex, citing concerns about his usage and role in the offense.

Younger wide receiver identified as an undervalued asset and not a sell-high candidate. Flock Fantasy positions Golden as an example of the type of younger WR asset to acquire when moving off Jamarr Chase in a rebuild, suggesting he represents better long-term value. The source later emphasizes 'Matthew Golden is far from a sell high. Like I am somebody who has Christian Watson and if anything, I think Christian Watson may be a little bit overvalued, whereas Matthew Golden is just an absolute smash,' indicating strong conviction in Golden's value relative to peers.

The source evaluates a trade where Michael Wilson is acquired for DeVonta Smith, calling it a lateral move.

Did not practice; with Deebo Samuel also out, Christian Kirk is expected to be the primary option this week. Additionally, the source rejects a trade proposal where Evans (along with Chris Olave and Brock Bowers) is acquired in exchange for Jahmyr Gibbs and Colston Loveland, noting that the trade would leave the team with no running backs. In another comparison, Evans is dealing with an injury and is treated as equivalent to Rome in terms of fantasy value, suggesting they are interchangeable options.

The source advises against trading Saquon Barkley and T Higgins for Nico Collins in a 12-team league, as this would leave the team without a trustworthy running back. The source also notes that Rashee Rice's injury may reduce Collins' target opportunities, making him a less attractive trade piece. Collins is suggested as a potential trade component (Jordan Love and Nico Collins for Josh Allen) to upgrade at quarterback, with the rationale being Rice's injury reducing his target share.

Quentin Johnston is back at practice and expected to play, but the source is worried about what Dylan Sampson's return means for his usage. Sampson may get some receiver snaps that would have gone to Johnston, creating a volume concern for Johnston's fantasy value.

Quishon Judkins suffered an injury that contributed to a team's running back depth crisis; Flock Fantasy notes the team was hit hard by injuries across the RB room including Judkins, alongside Breece Hall, Saquon Barkley, David Montgomery, and others.

Flock Fantasy expresses concern about Quinshaun Judkins' startability going forward. Judkins has had only one usable fantasy week this season—one game with 10+ fantasy points, which came with seven targets out of the backfield. The source worries that target volume will decline now that Dylan Sampson is healthy and available in the backfield, as Sampson is expected to be used as a receiver.

Quintez Cephus is returning this week; Flock Fantasy notes his return as part of the team's RB depth recovery after a cascade of injuries, providing relief to a roster that was devastated by multiple RB injuries.

Raheem Blackshear is a pure handcuff to Christian McCaffrey who sees work in every game but averages only 2–3 fantasy points over the past four games; he is not startable but is being held as a league-winner if McCaffrey goes down.

Flock Fantasy recommends offering Drake Maye or Caleb Williams to teams with weak quarterbacks (like Jacoby Brissett) to acquire Rashee Rice as a flex upgrade. Rice is identified as a valuable target acquisition in trade scenarios, particularly for teams that lost Jalen Hurts and are starting a backup.

Rhamondre Stevenson is a backup running back on a 6-0 team with conditional upside; the source frames him as a what-if candidate who becomes usable and valuable if starter Treyveon Henderson is injured, positioning him as a league-winner candidate contingent on opportunity. He is also listed as part of a 2-4 team's running back room in a separate roster evaluation.

Ramondre Stevenson is now preferred over Tyler Allgeier as a starting running back option due to Allgeier's reduced workload share in Arizona with Bam Knight's increased usage.

Rico Dowdle is a backup running back on a 6-0 team with conditional breakout potential; the source identifies him as a what-if candidate who becomes a league-winner if starter Jaylen Wrighton is injured, framing him as a high-upside depth piece contingent on opportunity.

29-year-old trade candidate likely to depreciate in off-season value; the source recommends selling him now. Multiple trade scenarios outlined: pairing with Daniel Jones to move to injured players (Jordan Tyson, De'Anthony Shribling) to reduce scoring output and improve tank odds, or selling Darnold alone to contenders to reduce scoring output.

Saquon Barkley suffered an injury that was part of a cascade of RB injuries devastating one team's roster. The source notes uncertainty about his return timeline ('Who knows about Barkley?') but expects clarity within a day or two. Despite the injury, the source suggests holding rather than trading him away, as the team is 3-3 and should wait for his return. The source also warns against trading Barkley and T Higgins for Nico Collins in a 12-team league, as this would leave the team without a trustworthy running back.

The source critiques a trade where Trey Harris and Tyler Allgeier were traded away for a mid-27th first and early future second to acquire Jared Goff and Josh Jacobs, suggesting the trade gives up too much value in a 10-team superflex league where quarterbacks are more readily available.

Trey McBride is an elite tight end whose scarcity and positional value make him particularly valuable in a 10-team, two-wide receiver, one-flex format; Flock Fantasy emphasizes holding elite players at scarce positions and not trading them away lightly.

Trey Sermon is the RB1 on a roster with catastrophically weak running back depth; Flock Fantasy identifies him as the primary back with Henderson as RB2 and Marlon Humphrey also listed at RB, calling it 'the worst running back position I've ever seen in my entire life.' This critical depth crisis necessitates acquiring Christian McCaffrey via trade.

Tucker Kraft is recommended as a trade candidate; the source suggests trading away Tucker Kraft for Luther Burden is a no-brainer trade, with the context that Isaiah Likely is available on the roster, making Kraft expendable.

Expected to start with Love out, but the source is not interested in starting him because he is splitting carries with Bam Knight, limiting his upside. The source notes the problem with Allgeier is he was expected to see the vast majority of work in Arizona, but Bam Knight got used, changing the outlook; the source now prefers Ramondre Stevenson over Allgeier for starting purposes. In a trade evaluation, the source critiques a deal where Allgeier and Trey Harris were traded away for a mid-27th first and early future second to acquire Jared Goff and Josh Jacobs, suggesting the trade gives up too much value in a 10-team superflex league.

Injury status noted as a factor in roster construction decisions; the source mentions the Lockett injury as context for why a contending team should keep George Kittle.

Tyler Warren missed practice with an injury that sounds like it will linger; there is a good chance he may miss this week. If Warren is out, Keenan Allen becomes a strong play. Warren is also being traded away in a deal where Nick trades JSN and Tyler Warren for Christian McCaffrey and A.J. Brown, a necessary move because the roster has Kyle Pitts at tight end, whom the source states 'you can't start Kyle Pitts going into the future.'

The source expresses concern about Tyron Tracy going to be in the worst offense in the NFL with an uncertain role, making him a poor flex option.

Expected to start again with Montgomery out; faces a great matchup against the Giants where the Texans are massive favorites and the Giants project to score the fewest points in the NFL. The source lists Marks as a very enticing running back play and recommends getting him in flex spots as a 10.5-point favorite over the Giants. However, the source evaluates a trade where Marks is traded away for Ahmari and Hampton, noting it is a downgrade this week but prefers Hampton long-term.

Got in a full practice but the source would not expect Charbonnet to be startable and expects he gets slowly ramped up. The Seattle backfield will be messy with Kenneth Walker potentially returning this week or next and Janarian Price back next week, creating a running back by committee where nobody is usable. However, the source recommends picking him up to build out running back depth after cutting Juwan Johnson, contingent on upgrading the tight end slot.

The source identifies Zamir White as part of the clear winning side in a trade comparison, describing it as an 'absolute no-brainer' to take the Ashton Jeanty, Zamir White, and Cam Akers side over the alternative.
