Player insights

96

A.J. Brown

PositiveInjury36:09

Flock Fantasy cites team communication that AJ Brown 'can be back as early as the week after the bye,' indicating a sooner-rather-than-later return; the source interprets this as the team essentially ruling Brown out for the upcoming week but expecting his return within a couple weeks.

Insight page

Aaron Jones

NegativeRole22:42

Aaron Jones is described as a 'legit zero,' indicating he has minimal fantasy value or playing time utility in the current context. He can be disregarded when evaluating a trade package.

Insight page

Adam Thielen

PositiveProjection41:21

The source would feel very comfortable starting Thielen for the first time this week, grouping him with Amari Cooper and Mitchell as players with improved matchup or role conditions.

Insight page

Alvin Kamara

PositiveUsage50:00

With Kendre Miller cut, Kamara should receive both his own workload and some of Miller's vacated touches, though Audric Estimé will also benefit from the volume. The source recommends starting Kamara over Blake Corum now that Miller is cut. Kamara also receives a bump up in value with the Kendre Miller news, suggesting improved role clarity and increased opportunity.

Insight page

Amari Cooper

PositiveProjection41:28

The source recommends Amari Cooper for flex despite a goose egg the previous week, citing that with no Garrett Wilson, the target volume will be much safer for Cooper. The source notes this is the first week they would feel very comfortable starting Cooper, though he has a nice ceiling but very low floor.

Insight page

Amon-Ra St. Brown

PositiveValue23:27

The source strongly advises against trading away Amon-Ra St. Brown, especially for Jonathan Taylor or running back upgrades when the team is weak at the position. St. Brown is too valuable to move despite running back depth concerns; trading him for Taylor would mean giving up certainty for a player with a very low floor. St. Brown is designated as an auto-start wide receiver.

Insight page

Antonio Williams

PositiveUsage2:23

Antonio Williams has significant usage upside due to injuries at the position; with no Terry McLaurin, Treylon Burks, or Dyami Brown available, Williams is going to get used a ton. The source presents him as one of three viable flex options with nice ceilings but very low floors.

Insight page

Bam Knight

NegativeRole14:03

Zonovan Knight is the RB2 in a start-eight format team, providing secondary running back production in the starting lineup.

Insight page

Bijan Robinson

NegativeProjection0:54

Ranked 5th overall by the source despite recent production struggles (under 17 points in past four games). The source owns Bijan and is excited about his outlook following Brian Robinson Jr.'s IR placement. Underlying snap data is strong at 78-81% over the past four games, historically around 80%. Khalil Herbert is not viewed as a significant goal-line vulture concern. The source traded Jonathan Taylor and Jameson Williams to acquire Bijan. Bijan is listed as an auto-start running back in 12-team leagues with eight starters. He is the elite anchor in a well-balanced running back room that includes short-term plays (Devin Singletary) and long-term upside (Travis Etienne and Jerian Price). For a 7-1 roster, trading away De'Andre Swift and George Pickens for Bijan Robinson is described as a no-brainer, though his week 11 bye creates a challenging matchup for teams that need to win immediately. The source would trade Bijan Robinson for James Cook and Nico Collins, suggesting his current value may be overpriced relative to available market returns.

Insight page

Blake Corum

NegativeProjection50:00

With Kendre Miller cut, Alvin Kamara receives elevated volume and is the recommended start over Blake Corum; Corum is downgraded to flex consideration. The source notes Kamara will get his own workload plus some of Miller's vacated touches, while Audric Estimé will also benefit but won't capture all the available volume.

Insight page

Brevin Jordan

PositiveValue22:42

In 12-team start-eight leagues where depth is critical for finding flex options, Brevin Jordan paired with Chuba Hubbard is preferable to trading for Christian McCaffrey and Aaron Jones, as depth matters more than starting lineup upside in that format.

Insight page

Brian Robinson

NegativeInjury0:54

Placed on injured reserve, which directly benefits Bijan Robinson's workload and fantasy value for the Atlanta Falcons. The source has been without Brian Robinson for a couple of weeks and views his IR placement as a positive catalyst for Bijan's production. The source is cutting Robinson from the roster after picking him up before the IR placement.

Insight page

Bryce Young

NegativeValue20:03

The source suggests Bryce Young could be traded away as part of a package deal (alongside Jonathan Brooks) to upgrade at quarterback if the team acquires additional running back depth.

Insight page

Bucky Irving

PositiveValue18:00

Flock Fantasy prefers Bucky Irving over Derrick Henry in a trade scenario based on what has been seen so far this season, despite acknowledging that Henry typically improves as the season progresses and the Ravens offense should improve with Jacoby Brissett. However, the source notes it's close, as losing Lamar Jackson is still a downgrade for Henry. Irving is also preferred over Chuba Hubbard in a prior trade, though the source still favors Hubbard.

Insight page

Caleb Williams

PositiveProjection4:53

Caleb Williams can be started every single week regardless of matchup. The source has strong conviction in Williams as a weekly starter, indicating high confidence in his weekly floor and consistency.

Insight page

Cam Akers

NegativeInjury35:25

Cam Akers' injury status is uncertain; if Akers is ruled out, Devin Singletary becomes the flex recommendation, but if Akers plays, the flex choice would need re-evaluation.

Insight page

CeeDee Lamb

NegativeRole27:40

CeeDee Lamb remains as a leftover wide receiver option in the roster after trades, maintaining a starting role. The source identifies CeeDee Lamb as a leftover wide receiver on a team's roster after a trade involving Pollard and Higgins.

Insight page

Chase Brown

PositiveRole14:03

Chase Brown is the RB1 in a start-eight format team, providing primary running back production in the starting lineup. He is listed as one of three startable running backs on the roster alongside Jaylen Warren and Jonah Coleman, indicating he has a secure role and is considered a reliable fantasy option. The source would offer Brown as part of a package with Dalton Kincaid to acquire Kyren Williams, suggesting Brown is viewed as tradeable depth rather than a core hold.

Insight page

Chris Olave

PositiveRole26:10

The source states you should auto-start Chris Olave at wide receiver, indicating he is a clear starter.

Insight page

Christian Kirk

NegativeInjury0:09

Placed on injured reserve for the season; will not contribute to fantasy teams this year. This creates a significant void in the 49ers' wide receiver room.

Insight page

Christian McCaffrey

PositiveValue22:42

Christian McCaffrey should be acquired in a trade where you give up Chuba Hubbard and Brevin Jordan, representing a significant upgrade. In a 10-team two wide receiver one flex league where depth doesn't matter and only starting lineup upside matters, McCaffrey should be acquired, especially when the receiving team already has James Cook, Coleman, and Ollie Gordon at running back. The source emphasizes the importance of rostering his handcuff (Kylin Black or similar) as a way to win the league if McCaffrey goes down.

Insight page

Christian Watson

PositiveValue48:48

Christian Watson, paired with Jonathan Taylor, represents compelling value in mid-season trades. The source initially rejected an offer to trade Taylor and Watson for Bijan Robinson, instead trading Jameson Williams instead of Watson, indicating the source valued Watson higher than the market may perceive.

Insight page

Chuba Hubbard

PositiveValue18:00

Flock Fantasy prefers Chuba Hubbard over Bucky Irving in a trade made before recent player blow-ups, indicating Hubbard is viewed as the better asset. Hubbard is listed as RB1 in a 'phenomenal running back room' alongside Raheem Mostert and Jonathan Brooks. In a 12-team start-eight league where depth is critical for finding flex options, Hubbard paired with Brevin Jordan is preferable to trading for Christian McCaffrey and Aaron Jones, as the depth matters more than starting lineup upside in that format.

Insight page

Colston Loveland

PositiveRole16:01

Colston Loveland looks very good since the Commot injury, making him a valuable tight end option. The source suggests leveraging him as a trade asset to upgrade at running back or wide receiver, indicating strong recent performance and trade value. Loveland is preferred over Sam LaPorta in a trade scenario where both are being evaluated as part of a package deal for Bijan Robinson. The source designates Loveland as an auto-start tight end in the league format discussed.

Insight page

Courtland Sutton

NegativeRole0:43

Can be safely dropped following Pat Bryant's activation from injured reserve. Bryant's return reduces Sutton's role and fantasy relevance in the Broncos' offense.

Insight page

D'Andre Swift

PositiveUsage5:04

DeAndre Swift has been crushing it as a borderline top-five running back. However, his role will diminish when Kalen Ballage returns from his bye week. Swift will likely drop from a borderline top-five running back to a high-end running back two, but remains 100% usable and playable despite the downgrade.

Insight page
NegativeValue25:43

The source advises against trading D'Andre Swift for Kalen Hubbard when Hubbard is the clear upgrade once Kalen Ballage returns. Swift and Hubbard look similar now, but once Ballage is back, Hubbard becomes clearly preferable, suggesting Swift should be held or traded for better value.

Insight page
NegativeProjection50:31

Swift is part of a trade package being sent away for Bijan Robinson in a 7-1 roster scenario, indicating he is valued lower than Robinson for the playoff push. The source describes trading away Swift and George Pickens for Robinson as the real meat and potatoes of the deal.

Insight page

Dallas Goedert

PositiveValue20:29

The source recommends picking up Dallas Goedert as a waiver wire target, suggesting he should be prioritized over Terrance Ferguson. The source notes to 'wait just a little bit' before making the move, implying Goedert's value may increase. Goedert provides stability at tight end; the source does not recommend any moves at the position and views the team as set.

Insight page

Dalton Kincaid

NegativeValue16:09

Dalton Kincaid is expendable if a team has Colston Loveland; the source doesn't hate Kincaid by any stretch but suggests he's a depth piece with trade value rather than a core hold. The source recommends selling Kincaid as a trade asset to upgrade at running back or wide receiver. Kincaid is a candidate to trade away if a team in the league is garbage at tight end, as the team doesn't need him with Loveland already on the roster.

Insight page

David Montgomery

PositiveRole38:58

David Montgomery is listed among the running backs available on the roster alongside Tyler Allgeier and Alvin Kamara, indicating he is part of the team's running back depth and is considered a usable fantasy option.

Insight page

Demarcus Robinson

NegativeRole0:25

Activated from injured reserve and available on waivers, but the source will not pick him up or play him. Despite the activation, Robinson is not considered a viable fantasy option in the 49ers' pass-catching hierarchy.

Insight page

Denzel Boston

NegativeRole48:03

Boston's role is uncertain with Harold Landry returning to health and Erv Sanders potentially starting. The source expresses uncertainty about what to expect from Boston's production going forward due to these depth chart changes. Boston is also viewed as a minor piece in a trade deal, considered fluff and not expected to significantly impact the trade outcome.

Insight page

Devin Singletary

PositiveUsage10:02

Singletary is a short-term play in a well-constructed running back room anchored by Bijan Robinson, with long-term upside players like Travis Etienne and Jerian Price. With Cam Akers out, Singletary is very clearly a safe start in the short term, providing reliable production while waiting for longer-term running back options to return. The source also recommends working the waiver wire to find Singletary as a usable running back option and specifically recommends him for flex play assuming Cam Akers is ruled out; if Akers plays, the recommendation would need re-evaluation.

Insight page

DeVonta Smith

NegativeInjury27:48

DeVonta Smith is essentially on injured reserve with uncertain return timeline; the source expresses concern about trading two startable players for one when Smith's availability is questionable.

Insight page

Drake London

PositiveValue46:55

London is acquired in a trade scenario where JSN and Caleb are sent away for Joe Burrow and Bijan Robinson; the source views this as a completely fine deal in 12-team formats that makes sense given Brian Robinson's IR status, positioning London as a pickup with relative value.

Insight page

Drake Maye

PositiveValue39:39

Drake May is mentioned as a potential quarterback upgrade target; Flock Fantasy suggests trading for May (along with trading away Ladd McConkey and Jordan Love) could help upgrade at the position and leverage additional depth pieces at the bottom of the roster.

Insight page

Drew Lock

NegativeProjection18:21

Flock Fantasy warns that Drew Lock may have a busted elbow and may not be dropping back to pass very often, making him a risky spot start option.

Insight page

George Kittle

NegativeValue60:00

Kittle is averaging 14.9 fantasy points per game this season and is being traded away in a deal for Zay Flowers and Tyler Warren. The source notes marginal difference between Kittle and Flowers rest of season, with Flowers averaging 15.9 PPG, suggesting Flowers has a slight edge in value.

Insight page

George Pickens

PositiveProjection52:33

Pickens is recommended as a start without overthinking, despite being part of a trade package in some scenarios. The source emphasizes not to second-guess playing Pickens, indicating strong confidence in his weekly production.

Insight page

Harold Fannin

PositiveInjury55:27

Harold Fannin is good to go, indicating his return to availability after injury concerns.

Insight page

Isaiah Likely

PositiveMatchup57:11

Isaiah Likely is preferred over Sam LaPorta against Philadelphia. The source notes Likely has had weeks where he was by far the best fantasy tight end with his volume, though the game environment may not be a shootout.

Insight page

Jahmyr Gibbs

PositiveProjection3:48

The source ranks Gibbs ahead of Bijan Robinson in overall rankings, making him the source's top-ranked running back preference over Bijan.

Insight page

Jalen Coker

PositiveProjection6:09

Jaylen Coker is a wide receiver four on the team who had significant target volume early in the season that has scaled back, but he salvaged a garbage day last week with a touchdown, making him a viable wide receiver start. The source recommends holding Coker over trading for Mike Evans, citing uncertainty about Evans' return timeline; Coker is the safer hold given Evans' injury concerns.

Insight page

Jalen Hurts

PositiveProjection46:50

Hurts benefits in a trade scenario where Caleb is acquired in place of Joe Burrow; the source notes Ladder will move up, suggesting Hurts sees improved production from the quarterback upgrade.

Insight page

Jalen Nailor

PositiveProjection4:05

The source prefers Jalen Nailor over Bijan Robinson in overall rankings, indicating he is ranked ahead of Bijan in the source's fantasy hierarchy.

Insight page

Jamaal Williams

PositiveRole24:28

The source identifies Jamaal Williams as a startable running back option, suggesting adequate depth at the position despite concerns about elite talent.

Insight page

James Cook

PositiveValue34:05

James Cook is a buy-low candidate; the source would trade Bijan Robinson for Cook and Nico Collins, indicating Cook offers better value than Robinson at current market prices. Cook is part of an elite running back core in 10-team leagues alongside Christian McCaffrey, Coleman, and Ollie Gordon.

Insight page

Jameson Williams

NegativeUsage23:27

Jameson Williams is currently sitting at 6.3 targets per game, well below Terrace Marshall's 9.3. While Jamo has been running hot with touchdowns, the source would clearly prefer Marshall due to superior target volume. Williams was traded away instead of Christian Watson in the source's own mid-season trade for Bijan Robinson, indicating the source valued Watson more.

Insight page

Jared Goff

PositiveProjection9:36

Goff can be started almost every single week with very few matchups where you would want to bench him. Exceptions include against the Minnesota Vikings in week eight and at Minnesota in week 15, but overall he is a reliable weekly starter. The source also notes Goff would be an upgrade over Jordan Love in most weeks, making him a viable trade target if quarterback help is needed.

Insight page

Jayden Daniels

PositiveProjection4:53

The source expresses confidence in the quarterback position, grouping Jayden Daniels with Caleb Williams as part of a strong QB room, indicating comfort with his weekly usage.

Insight page

Jaylen Warren

NegativeRole5:29

Warren serves as the team's running back two and is in a fine spot as a usable fantasy option. However, his production will regress when Rico Dowdle returns; Warren was a borderline top-five running back when Dowdle was out but will come back down to Earth once Dowdle is healthy. The source also lists Warren as one of three startable running backs on the team's roster alongside Chase Brown and Jonah Coleman.

Insight page

Jeremiyah Love

NegativeInjury27:48

Jeremiah Love is on injured reserve, creating depth concerns when combined with other injured players on the roster.

Insight page

Joe Burrow

PositiveValue39:39

Joe Burrow is mentioned as a potential quarterback upgrade target from Jordan Love; Flock Fantasy suggests trading for Burrow (along with trading away Ladd McConkey) could help upgrade at the position and leverage additional depth pieces at the bottom of the roster.

Insight page

Jonah Coleman

PositiveValue5:26

Jonah Coleman is a potential trade target to address running back depth concerns; the source suggests acquiring him by trading Luther Burden. Coleman is also listed as one of three startable running backs on the team's roster, indicating he has a secure role.

Insight page

Jonathan Taylor

NegativeProjection47:32

Jonathan Taylor presents a high-ceiling, low-floor profile with significant uncertainty tied to his trade status. Prediction markets favor Indianapolis Colts (36%), New York Giants (32%), Vikings (11%), and Broncos (9%) as trade destinations. If Taylor remains with the Colts given their poor offensive line and team performance, his fantasy outlook becomes significantly challenged. However, if traded to a competent offense like the New York Giants, his value could improve substantially. The source traded for Bijan Robinson instead of giving up Taylor and Christian Watson, but acknowledges Taylor's value could improve significantly if traded to a competent offense. The source advises waiting for clarity on his status and role over the next week before making roster moves.

Insight page

Jonathon Brooks

NegativeRole19:03

Jonathan Brooks is listed as RB3 in a 'phenomenal running back room' alongside Chuba Hubbard and Raheem Mostert. Flock Fantasy suggests Brooks could be traded away as part of a package deal (with Bryce Young) to upgrade at quarterback if the team acquires additional running back depth.

Insight page

Jordan Addison

NegativeProjection46:50

Jordan Addison's outlook is pessimistic; the source believes the most likely outcome is that Addison sees minimal production, though he hopes for a positive outcome. Addison was not startable even when Jefferson was injured, raising concerns about his ability to produce with Carson Wentz involvement uncertain. Despite a favorable matchup, the source prefers Mike Harley Lemon as the safer play.

Insight page

Jordan Love

PositiveProjection23:27

Jordan Love has been pretty good this season, making him a solid enough quarterback that trading him away for Jared Goff is not necessary unless desperate at the position. The source suggests considering a two-for-one trade to upgrade at quarterback over Love, implying he may not be optimal but is serviceable.

Insight page

Jordan Mason

PositiveUsage7:31

Jordan Mason is in a three-man running back committee and is not going to catch the ball; he played only 28% of snaps at Detroit. The source recommends monitoring his usage this week and potentially cutting him for Emmit Johnson if the committee usage continues, as Johnson could become a league winner if Kenneth Walker goes down. The source recommends cutting Mason to pick up Seth Magalan instead.

Insight page

Jordyn Tyson

NegativeBreakout48:03

Tyson is a high-upside but risky play requiring time to ramp up. The source is rooting for him but cannot trust him this week, noting he is a small piece in a larger trade deal. There is potential for significant breakout performance—the source notes there's a scenario where Tyson could pop off for 100 receiving yards—but his role clarity and health remain uncertain. The source expresses excitement about Tyson's potential but advises against starting him over established options like Eggbuka or Denzel Boston this week.

Insight page

Josh Downs

NegativeMatchup50:30

Josh Downs is a fine start given the favorable matchup, but the source prefers to avoid Indianapolis offensive weapons when possible, expressing general distrust of the Colts offense.

Insight page

Kalen Ballage

NegativeRole5:12

Kalen Ballage is returning from his bye week and will reduce DeAndre Swift's role and fantasy value. Swift will drop from a borderline top-five running back to a high-end running back two once Ballage returns to the lineup, indicating Ballage's return will significantly impact the backfield workload distribution.

Insight page

Kenneth Walker III

PositiveProjection3:26

Ranked ahead of Bijan Robinson in the source's overall rankings. The source would trade Bijan Robinson for Kenneth Walker right now and prefers Walker despite Bijan's recent acquisition. Walker has already cleared his bye week, providing an extra game of production going forward. If Kenneth Walker were to go down with injury, Emmit Johnson would become a league winner in fantasy.

Insight page

Khalil Herbert

NegativeRole0:50

Not viewed as a significant goal-line vulture concern for Bijan Robinson at the Atlanta Falcons, unlike Brian Robinson Jr. was earlier in the season. Herbert's presence does not materially threaten Bijan's red-zone opportunities.

Insight page

Kyren Williams

PositiveValue16:15

Kyren Williams is a premium trade target; the source would attempt to trade Chase Brown and Dalton Kincaid to acquire him, indicating Williams is viewed as a premium target worth paying up for despite the trade being unlikely. The source acknowledges it's not the most likely outcome but suggests it's worth attempting.

Insight page

Ladd McConkey

NegativeValue39:39

Ladd McConkey is mentioned as a potential trade piece in a package deal; the source suggests trading him along with Jordan Love to upgrade at quarterback to Joe Burrow or Drake May, implying McConkey's value is expendable in pursuit of higher-tier quarterback options.

Insight page

Lamar Jackson

PositiveValue9:03

Jackson should be cut immediately if taking up a roster spot, as Kayson Concepcion is a higher priority waiver wire target. Additionally, trading away Lamar Jackson for Henry represents a downgrade in fantasy value; the source expresses preference for alternative options in this scenario.

Insight page

Luther Burden

NegativeProjection6:09

Luther Burden is a wide receiver three on the team and is being downgraded in favor of Ramondre Stevenson due to Stevenson's superior volume opportunity. The source notes Burden is close to Rashee Rice in a starting decision, but Rice is the slight preference. Burden is also considered a depth piece that could be traded away in a two-for-one deal (Luther Burden and Kyle Manongai, or Luther Burden and Rashad White) to upgrade at running back.

Insight page

Malik Washington

PositiveMatchup75:32

Washington has a strong matchup against Detroit; the source recommends him over Omar Cooper for flex consideration. The Dolphins offense typically projects as bottom-three, but against Detroit's weak defense, the Dolphins are projected to perform at an average, middle-of-the-road level, creating better opportunities for Washington's guaranteed targets.

Insight page

Michael Penix Jr.

NegativeValue17:18

Flock Fantasy suggests Michael Penix as a potential waiver wire streaming option at quarterback, noting he would be 'somewhat interesting' as a streaming option, though not enthusiastically endorsed. The source acknowledges Penix is not the most exciting name available.

Insight page

Mike Evans

NegativeInjury35:45

Flock Fantasy expresses significant concern about Mike Evans' injury report, stating the report 'scares me a lot more than I initially thought,' and believes Evans will not return soon; the source would not trade Jaylen Coker for Evans given the uncertainty about his return timeline.

Insight page

Mike Washington Jr.

PositiveRole37:33

Mike Washington is identified as the premium handcuff if Jalen Gentry were to go down; Flock Fantasy suggests he could potentially turn into a league winner if an injury occurs, making him a valuable waiver wire target for active managers.

Insight page

Nico Collins

PositiveProjection55:41

Nico Collins is an auto-start wide receiver. The source would trade Bijan Robinson to acquire Collins alongside James Cook in deep league settings with receiver injuries, indicating strong value at current market prices. However, Collins faces the Chargers in a matchup where Houston may not need to throw the ball much, creating a downside scenario for his production.

Insight page

Ollie Gordon II

NegativeRole22:42

Ollie Gordon is cited as one of the elite running backs available in a 10-team league, part of a strong running back core alongside Christian McCaffrey, James Cook, and Coleman.

Insight page

Omar Cooper Jr.

PositiveRole75:13

Cooper is recommended over Denzel Boston for wide receiver consideration now that Harold Landry is healthy and available. The source cites Landry's return as a reason to favor Cooper.

Insight page

Pat Bryant

PositiveDepth Chart0:43

Officially activated from injured reserve. Bryant's return from IR led to Courtland Sutton being dropped in the source's league, indicating Bryant will reclaim a significant role in the Broncos' receiving corps.

Insight page

Puka Nacua

PositiveProjection4:05

The source prefers Puka Nacua over Bijan Robinson in overall rankings. Additionally, Nacua is part of an elite wide receiver room alongside Justin Jefferson, contributing to an overall incredible team construction.

Insight page

Quinshon Judkins

PositiveMatchup21:30

The source recommends playing Quinshon Judkins over Tyler Allgeier, citing a 'really, really strong matchup' for Judkins against the New Orleans Saints. Despite noting the source is 'not a big Judkins guy' overall, the matchup advantage makes him the preferred play this week.

Insight page

Rachaad White

PositiveUsage49:24

Rachaad White has guaranteed touches with both Jacquory Croskey Merritt out and Jermaine McNichols on injured reserve, making him a reliable flex play with elevated volume.

Insight page

Raheem Mostert

PositiveRole19:03

Raheem Mostert is listed as RB2 in a 'phenomenal running back room' with Chuba Hubbard and Jonathan Brooks. Flock Fantasy notes that if Jonathan Taylor is traded to the team, Mostert could become a starting running back with increased opportunity.

Insight page

Rhamondre Stevenson

PositiveRole47:30

With Trevion Harris out, Rhamondre Stevenson is receiving an extra five to eight touches per game, elevating him to a legitimate RB2 for the rest of the season. The source expects this elevated role to persist even when Harris returns, making Stevenson an exciting flex play.

Insight page

Rico Dowdle

PositiveRole9:00

Dowdle is a returning player who will reclaim the primary running back role and reduce Jaylen Warren's fantasy value. Warren was a borderline top-five running back when Dowdle was out, but will regress once Dowdle returns to the lineup, indicating Dowdle's return will restore him as the lead back.

Insight page

RJ Harvey

NegativeInjury5:26

RJ Harvey is on injured reserve, which weakens the caller's running back depth and is a concern for roster construction heading into the fantasy playoffs.

Insight page

Sam LaPorta

NegativeMatchup57:11

Sam LaPorta is downgraded in favor of Isaiah Likely in a tight end head-to-head comparison. The source prefers Likely against Philadelphia despite noting the matchup is unlikely to be a shootout or high-scoring game environment.

Insight page

Saquon Barkley

PositiveRole14:12

Saquon Barkley is the RB3 in a start-eight format team, providing depth at running back. The source notes that Barkley is currently playing, making him preferable to AJ Brown in a trade scenario where both players may be unavailable for a couple weeks; Barkley's immediate availability gives him an edge.

Insight page

Seth McGowan

PositiveRole55:12

McGowan is a bench hold with upside contingent on Jonathan Taylor being traded; if Taylor moves to the Giants, McGowan could turn into a starting running back with significant opportunity.

Insight page

Tee Higgins

PositiveValue16:51

Flock Fantasy would offer Dalton Kincaid and I Kabuka to acquire Tee Higgins, indicating Higgins is viewed as a premium target worth trading for despite the difficulty of the trade.

Insight page

Terrace Marshall

PositiveUsage23:27

Terrace Marshall averages 9.3 targets per game, significantly outpacing Jameson Williams' 6.3 targets per game. Despite Jamo's recent touchdown hot streak, the source clearly prefers Marshall over Williams due to superior target volume.

Insight page

Tony Pollard

NegativeValue27:07

The source discusses a trade scenario where Tony Pollard is being sent away for Jonathan Taylor and Jordan Mason, suggesting Pollard is being moved in a trade scenario.

Insight page

Travis Etienne

PositiveRole10:02

Etienne represents long-term upside in a well-constructed running back room anchored by Bijan Robinson; the team is 5-3 and does not need to win immediately, making him a holdable asset. With Kendre Miller released by the Saints, the committee becomes less crowded; Etienne's return could be a solid spot with reduced backfield competition despite Alvin Kamara remaining the primary threat. Etienne is back at practice and in line to be the Saints starting running back, though his return timeline remains unclear with no updates from the Saints organization; the source expected him back earlier but received no communication.

Insight page

TreVeyon Henderson

NegativeRole38:25

Trevion Henderson is mentioned as a handcuff option contingent on his health status; Flock Fantasy notes his availability as a waiver wire target if he can get healthy.

Insight page

Tyler Allgeier

NegativeMatchup21:30

Tyler Allgeier faces a really bad matchup versus the Seattle Seahawks, making him less favorable than Quinshon Judkins against the New Orleans Saints. However, in another context, the source recommends Allgeier as a running back start despite a tough matchup, citing guaranteed volume as the reason to start him.

Insight page

Tyler Warren

NegativeRole60:00

Warren is being acquired in a trade for Jaylen Coker and George Kittle. The source evaluates the trade but does not provide specific performance data or role analysis for Warren.

Insight page

Woody Marks

PositiveUsage18:20

With David Montgomery out, Woody Marks is very clearly a safe start in the short term, providing reliable production for teams needing immediate running back help.

Insight page

Zay Flowers

PositiveValue60:14

Flowers is averaging 15.9 fantasy points per game this season and is being acquired in a trade for Jaylen Coker and George Kittle. The source notes marginal difference between Flowers and Kittle (14.9 PPG) rest of season, suggesting Flowers has a slight edge in value.

0:02Okay, since our last video, um there has been some news. And honestly, it's relevant to my own team.
0:09But first thing is, Christian Kirk placed on the injured reserve. So, it looks like Christian Kirk will not be doing anything this season, and the
0:18Niners need a wide receiver so desperately. I mean, I don't even like Josh Downs, but I mean, if the Niners could get Downs on their team, I think
0:25that would make a lot of sense. They do activate Demarcus Robinson, so it's probably the wide receiver one for this team. Um he's on the waiver wire in my
0:33league. I'm not going to pick him up.
0:34I'm not going to play him. I think the only guys you play in San Francisco are CMC, Kittle, and Purdy. But I won't
0:40trust any of the receivers until the top guys come back healthy.
0:43Now, Pat Bryant is officially activated from the IR. So, I know this led to Courtland Sutton uh finally being dropped in the flock league, but Sutton
0:52probably can be safely dropped in yours.
0:54And then, Brian Robinson Jr. gets placed on the injured reserve. So, this is why we are titling this live stream, Bijan
1:03to the moon. And this is what I'm excited about for my own fantasy team.
1:09Because if we go through and if we look at what we've actually had over the past few weeks, obviously, you've had no
1:16Brian Robinson for a couple weeks now here for the Atlanta Falcons. And while Bijan Robinson's production has absolutely sucked, don't get me wrong.
1:25Um I mean, Bijan over the past four games has yet to score more than 17 points.
1:31If you look at the underlying snap data, like the snaps look good over the past uh four games. You have 81% of the
1:39snaps 78% 80% some but very, very rarely. Like the snap rate for Bijan historically has been
1:50about 80%, and I'm not super concerned about Khalil Herbert vulture in Bijan at the goal line, like we saw from Brian
1:58Robinson earlier in the year. so I am excited as somebody who has Bijan on my own team for Brian Robinson to hit the
2:05IR.
2:06Um it's not going to be like enough for me to move Bijan ahead of like Kenneth Walker or anybody like that in my
2:14rankings. I personally have Bijan Robinson ranked at fifth in my overall rankings. He again, I just traded for him. I traded Jonathan Taylor and
2:23Jameson Williams to pick him up, but the guys that I would still prefer over Bijan.
2:28One, obviously Gibbs.
2:31Two, I would still prefer Kenneth Walker. Kenneth Walker's already through his bye week. Um so you're going to get the extra game. Like I would trade Bijan
2:38Robinson for Kenneth Walker right now. I know that people in my league wouldn't accept that. And then I would prefer JSN
2:45and Puka over Bijan as well.
2:48Um in a vacuum, but he does have a tough schedule. I just really like the player, really like the role as well.
2:55But I think that should be enough, and let's go ahead and let's dive into what we have with some of these teams that we
3:05have on the site, some of the questions that we have on the site. Obviously, I appreciate you coming out and spending
3:09your Saturday with us. I am going to be live Sunday morning, too. So for whatever reason you're somehow watching this on Sunday morning, just they click
3:18the little profile on YouTube and then go to the live stream there because I will be answering your questions tomorrow morning as well.
3:26Now, K Kingdom says, "We have RJ Harvey on the injured reserve. Got asked if I would do Burden for Jonah Coleman. My
3:33running back room is weak, especially whenever Kalen Ballage comes back and Warren might fall off. Do you have any trade recommendations? Seven and one,
3:41huge fan of the new draft tool, by the way. Only five losses spread out of between four leagues." Okay.
3:48I am going to be obviously this does not sound like I maybe something I should say, but I'm just going to be honest, man.
3:58If you play in four fantasy leagues and you only have five total losses when we're in week nine and you have
4:10five total losses spread out between those four leagues again, I am just going to be completely honest. You are better at fantasy
4:18football than I am. There's no way to get around that. It's just the fact of the matter, man. You are absolutely
4:23crushing it.
4:25But, let's go ahead and let's pull this up. So, you were asked if you would trade Burden for Jonathan Coleman or did you already
4:36do this trade? Looks like we did not do this trade. So, you could sell Luther Burden if you wanted to get Jonathan Coleman here at running
4:45back. I will say starting off quarterback, we're in a really good spot, of course. I mean, we are currently sitting with um Caleb Williams
4:53as well as Jayden Daniels. So, feel pretty damn good about our quarterback position. You can start Caleb Williams every single week regardless of matchup.
5:04Then, going over to where you stand at running back, we have DeAndre Swift who has been crushing it. Now, of course, uh
5:12small hesitation that you may have here is what happens when Kalen Ballage comes back after the bye and then all of a
5:19sudden DeAndre Swift, instead of him being a borderline top five running back every week, he looks more like a high-end running back two, right? But,
5:29you're still fine having him. He's still 100% going to be usable. You'll just have to lower expectations a bit. Then, Jaylen Warren running back two, running
5:38back two Jaylen Warren is just fine.
5:40Again, obviously, whenever he was like a borderline top five running back when no Rico Dowdle, you knew he was going to
5:45come back down to Earth. But, having him as your running back two, you're still in a fine spot. We have Kalen Ballage.
5:52We have Rashad White who is startable here as well. So, you don't need a running back depth. Like, the problem may be on this team that you just don't
6:00have like a true number one running back if again, Ballage ends up eating into D'Andre Swift here.
6:09Now, wide receiver, you have Puka Nacua and Ja'Marr Chase, so obviously that's what's going to make this team so damn strong. We have Luther Burden wide
6:19receiver three, Jaylen Coker wide receiver four.
6:23And then Mekhi Lammons wide receiver five, and then we have Brock Bowers at tight end.
6:28Man, this is an incredible team. I would say that if you were going to do something here, it probably would be
6:34best for us to go through it instead of trying to just send Luther Burden straight up for like Jonah Coleman.
6:41Well, I agree that maybe you can afford and it would maybe be smart for us to look at trading away one of our wide
6:50receivers with a running back in a two-for-one deal to improve at the running back position.
6:55I don't know if the way that we should go about this would be us just selling a depth wide receiver for a depth running
7:02back. I don't know if that specifically is going to accomplish a lot. But, what you maybe could do instead is maybe you
7:09could instead go through and look at selling like the combination of Luther Burden and Kyle Manongai for a true running back one or Luther Burden and
7:19Rashod White who obviously startable right now with the Washington injuries for a higher end running back than Jonah Coleman. So, I'm not opposed to us
7:27making that trade. Obviously, if there were to be a trade in this league, that is what it would end up being. You would
7:34want to end up selling one of your depth receivers to get an upgrade at running back. I just don't know if you want to
7:40do it by that lateral flip. And then in terms of you potentially wanting to go ahead and make any waiver wire pivots,
7:51I would consider based on the Jordan Mason usage this week let's see how Jordan Mason's used, and
8:00let's consider potentially cutting Jordan Mason for Emmit Johnson if it continues to be a three-man
8:11running back by committee because if Kenneth Walker were to go down, then I think Emmit Johnson turns into a league winner.
8:21But, I really appreciate you and I hope I was able to help you out in some way with this, my friend. But, again, fact of the
8:29matter is you have five losses across four leagues in our week nine of the season. You're just better at fantasy football than I
8:37am. You need to leave a comment and tell me what I need to do with my team in the flock league.
8:43Now, looking at this from Doris, it says, "We need a running back two badly." So, this is a team in which we
8:51are the third team when it comes to value.
8:58We've scored the sixth most points in the league, but we are five and three right now.
9:03So, we are fourth in the league standings.
9:06Um a very big discrepancy between some of the top teams in this league and the rest of them. So, I will say a couple
9:12different things. There are phenomenal players out there on the waiver wire.
9:17First things first, I do think Kayson Concepcion needs to be rostered in this league.
9:23If Lamar Jackson is taking up a roster spot, you cut Lamar Jackson right this second.
9:32And you pick up Kayson Concepcion.
9:36Now, we have Goff at quarterback. Goff we can start almost every single week.
9:42There are like very, very few matchups in which you wanted to start Jared Goff.
9:47Like against the Minnesota Vikings in week eight, probably at Minnesota in week 15. You would bench Goff for that one as well, but um you are fine having
9:55Jared Goff at quarterback and then just those random one-off weeks, maybe then you look at picking up a different option.
10:02Running back we have Bijan Robinson. So, we have the elite anchor and then we have the short-term plays of what he
10:09marks Devin Singletary, and the long-term upside of Travis Etienne and Jerian Price. So, I think running back makes a lot of sense and it's a super
10:17well-balanced and well-constructed room that you have. And with us being five and three, it's not like we are a team that needs to win right this second.
10:27Like you can afford to hold on to Travis Etienne. I mean, you're in a very Like my running back room is almost the same
10:32as yours. I'm five and three as well. I have Bijan, Travis Etienne, Jerian Price, and then my short-term names to play are guys like um Rashad White, you
10:41know. So, I think I have a very similar constructed running back room to you.
10:45Wide receiver, we have Puka Nacua, Justin Jefferson. We have the elite tight end with Bowers.
10:51Um man, this is an incredible team. You do not need a running back too badly.
10:57I don't want you to panic over it.
11:00Because this week, with no David Montgomery, I mean, Woody Marks is very clearly a safe start.
11:10We can say the same thing here with Devin Singletary. Devin Singletary is very clearly a safe start with no Cam Akers.
11:23So, since you have them in the short term, and there is a non-zero percent chance that Jerian Price does end up turning
11:33into a solid running back two for you, the last thing that I would want for you to do is go out there and panic.
11:47Like I think you should be sitting on your hands here.
11:51Waiting, using our leverage that we have with some of those short-term pieces, where we know we can start Singletary,
12:01we know we can start Marks.
12:13And we just for Zach Charbonnet price or Travis Etienne to come back, especially if Etienne comes back next week.
12:20It may be a decent spot knowing that they've let go of Kendre Miller.
12:30So, it's maybe a little bit less of a committee than it was beforehand.
12:34Obviously, Kamara is the biggest threat, but still.
12:40But, I really appreciate you and I hope I was able to help you out in some way with this, man. I I know that maybe this
12:47isn't exactly what you were looking for.
12:49I know that maybe it feel more comfortable if you were to go out there and you were to just straight up
12:59trade for a better running back two and you send Justin Jefferson and you get somebody that you feel more comfortable with through the rest of the season
13:06here.
13:07I just don't know if that's something that's necessary with you having the short-term plays.
13:12But, I mean, if you could sell Cornell Tate and Travis Etienne and get a running back two that you would feel
13:18very solid about, I'm not going to stop you in doing so because, I mean, clearly, you can just backfill from the
13:24waiver wire here pretty cheaply if you can go to waivers and pick up Casey Concepcion for literally free.
13:33But, I really appreciate you and I hope that I was able to help you out in some way with this.
13:42Now, Panda King to say Mason just traded away Watson and Kyren for JSN. It's a 10-team format, so as long as we are
13:49solid at running back, probably a smart call. What do you think of the team now and what moves would you recommend from
13:53here? Second in the league currently, two IR spots with Tyson and Love aren't currently taking bench spots. Well, probably going to have to get Tyson
14:01called up here, right? We are currently the second team when it comes to value in this league. That's just cuz we have
14:07to go up against another team that has Walker Taylor Hubbard Ramondre Burrow, Justin Jefferson, Trey McBride.
14:14So, there will be some competition there. It is a start eight format.
14:19Quarterback, we have Trevor Lawrence as well as C.J. Stroud.
14:23Then, going over to running back, you are currently sitting with Chase Brown, RB1, Zonovan Knight Coleman, running back two.
14:32We have Saquon Barkley, running back three.
14:42So, we have the running backs that we can get in our starting lineup. The problem with the RB room that we have is
14:49just maybe we are missing like a legitimate running back one.
14:54But, wide receiver, we have JSN, we have Ja'Marr Chase.
14:59Emeka Egbuka, wide receiver three, the upside shot of Jordan Tyson as well.
15:05Tight end, we have Kolsen Loveland, Dalton Kincaid.
15:17This is a phenomenal team.
15:21I would be interested in like Here's my problem with Jordan Mason. We know he's not going to catch the ball. This past
15:28week, he played 28% of the snaps at Detroit.
15:32I I think I would cut Jordan Mason, and I would pick up Seth Magalan.
15:38Like, there is a non-zero percent chance that Seth Magalan ends up as a starting running back if we get Jonathan Taylor
15:48traded in a couple days. Trade deadline's coming up, too. So, I mean, it's going to be something that would be easy to cut Seth Magalan
15:55right after if you don't get that trade.
15:59So, I would cut Mason, I'd pick up Seth Magalan.
16:03And then, in terms of if there were to be a trade to be made, like, if you could find a team that's
16:09garbage at tight end, and see if they would send you something for Dalton Kincaid. Like, I have Kincaid on my own
16:15team, but like I I So, I don't hate Dalton Kincaid by any stretch of the imagination. But, like you just don't
16:22need him. If you have Loveland, Loveland it looks oh damn good ever since he had the Commot injury.
16:28Like this team is Mike Gesicki as their tight end.
16:31Is there any world in which you could go through and I know you just traded away Kyren, but like how man I would try to
16:38send them like Chase Brown and Dalton Kincaid and see if there's any way that you can get you Kyren Williams.
16:45Obviously not the most likely outcome here, but it can't hurt to send the offer. Um this other team has T.J.
16:51Hockenson and Mark Andrews at tight end.
16:54The running back position that they have is just straight up garbage. So, maybe it's going to be a little tough to opt
16:59here there. I would still offer like Kincaid as well as I Kabuka and see if there's any way in hell that you can get
17:06up to like Tee Higgins.
17:08But, yeah the big thing that I would want to do here is I would be trying to leverage one of our tight ends by selling Dalton
17:16Kincaid or Colson Loveland to see if you can find an upgrade at running back or wide receiver.
17:24And then I would also consider cutting Jordan Mason and picking up Seth Magallan. Or you could consider cutting C.J. Stroud
17:35and picking up Matthew Stafford.
17:41But, I think that's all I got for you, man. I think you do have a very very good team here. Obviously near the top of the
17:48league standings. So, now we have another team of yours that we can look at. And this team we traded away Bucky,
17:54Ollie, and Fannin for Chuba and Warren before the Fannin and Bucky blow-ups. I don't I don't know if the Fannin blow-up's here to stay, man. That may
18:04have just been a random one-off game.
18:07Um the Bucky to Chuba I'd still rather have Chuba.
18:11It was Let's see if this is Jaylen Warren or Tyler Warren. Um any trades or waiver wire moves. I like my team but sitting
18:17in seventh makes me nervous. Drew Lock is just a spot start this week over Bryce versus Denver. Do you not have a
18:23better option than that, man?
18:25I Okay, we went Carson Wentz. I think Carson Wentz is the better option. I'm happy to see we pivoted there. I was
18:31going to say with Drew Lock, like Drew Lock may have a busted elbow. Like Drew Lock may not be dropping back to pass
18:36very often, if we're going to be honest.
18:38Um but looking at what's currently sitting out there on the waiver wire, quarterback, you could also look at Michael Penix.
18:48I'm not going to sit here and say Michael Penix is the best name ever that we could trade for, but I'm sorry.
18:57Stream?
18:59But it at least would be somewhat interesting.
19:03Running back, we have Chuba Hubbard RB1, Raheem Mostert RB2, Jonathan Brooks running back three. Phenomenal running back room. Wide receiver, we have
19:12Ja'Marr Chase, Malik Nabers, Laviska Shenault, Jonathan Mingo. We have Tyler Boyd at tight end.
19:17Man, this is a damn good team.
19:20In a two receiver, one flex format, what I would really hope ends up happening here, and there is a chance that it
19:27does, is if we end up seeing like a running back hit, say somehow,
19:38some way. I mean, one of two things could end up happening, right? One, a Jonathan Taylor trade, which is looking less likely now than it
19:46did, but still um prediction markets have Jonathan Taylor more likely than not still getting traded.
19:54If we end up seeing Jonathan Taylor and Raheem Mostert turns into a starting running back, and you have an expendable starter, I would potentially be
20:03interested in us going through and us looking at trading the combo of like Jonathan Brooks and Bryce Young to see
20:15if we can get to an elite quarterback from a team that's really desperate at running back.
20:29>> I would cut Terrance Ferguson and pick up Dallas Goedert. Obviously, if T Ferg is going to be on your IR, then you're not going to be able to
20:39do it. But if he's actually taking up a roster spot here from you, but yeah, I think you maybe wait just a
20:50little bit. And if we end up seeing like that Jonathan Taylor trade where Seth Magallan pops up as a startable running back, and then all of a sudden
21:02we have four startable RBs, at that point in a two receiver one flex format, you would just simply have to go out
21:10there and have to trade for a better running back. I'm sorry, a better quarterback. You'd have to leverage the additional running back depth that you
21:16have to get an upgraded QB.
21:18Quarterback's going to make up too high a percentage of your starting lineup output every week for you not to make that kind of
21:24move.
21:27But I think that's all I got for you here, man. I really appreciate you, and I really hope that I was able to help you
21:35out in some way. You have a great team, and again, I would consider making one of those waiver wire pivots.
21:42Now, let's swing myself over here, and let's go for torta at the door.
21:50Running back, you're playing Quinshon Judkins over Tyler Allgeier. I'm not a big Judkins guy, but it is a really, really strong
22:01matchup that he has against the New Orleans Saints in comparison to a really bad matchup for Tyler Allgeier versus the Seattle Seahawks.
22:09Then for the flex, you go Stefon Diggs. It was going to be
22:18a tough call between the Jets and Browns receivers, but if you have Diggs there and no Terry, Easy spot to just play
22:26him.
22:27Now, X food trading away Chuba and Brevin Jordan for Christian McCaffrey and Aaron Jones. So, Aaron Jones is a legit zero, right? We can move him out
22:37of this deal. It all comes down to the matter of running back depth that you have, and I would say like in my type of
22:44league, 12-team start eight league where it's difficult to find guys for that last flex, I would probably go with the Chuba Hubbard and Brevin Jordan side of
22:53this.
22:54But, with this being a league in which you will still have CMC, James Cook, Coleman, Ollie Gordon as your running back four, and it's a 10-team two wide
23:05receiver one flex where the depth doesn't matter, only thing that matters is the upside inside the starting lineup, yeah, you probably should go
23:13ahead and you should just get Christian McCaffrey.
23:17Gunnar Boy says, "Propose this trade for the week 11 bye. We also have Jonathan Taylor. We also have another for Jonathan Taylor for Amon-Ra St. Brown.
23:27I'm four and four. My team isn't strong at running backs. Is this a good or a bad call?" Well, I appreciate you
23:32sticking with me for so damn long at this point, man. Let me make sure we send you over another free trade
23:38question in case you have another one you want me to look at. So, first things first, Mindo is a legit zero here.
23:45So, we would be upgrading from Jordan Love to Jared Goff. We'd be playing Goff over Love in most weeks. We'd be
23:54downgrading from Terrace Marshall to Jameson Williams.
23:59Like looking at the target volume that you've had between these two receivers, Terrace Marshall averaging 9.3 targets per game, Jameson Williams currently sitting at
24:096.3 targets per game. Jamo's been running really hot with touchdowns, but to be honest, I think I would pretty clearly prefer Marshall over him.
24:20I wouldn't fault you for making this move, but I don't know if you were desperate enough at quarterback starting right now, Jordan Love, who has been
24:28pretty good to make this swap.
24:35And then, I know you're saying that your team isn't strong at running back, which yeah, I would say that you don't have a true elite running back
24:43one, but the last thing you can do is trade away Amon-Ra St. Brown for Jonathan Taylor right now, man. You'd be
24:49giving up so much certainty for a player with a very low floor. Please, hold on to Amon-Ra.
24:59I'm fine with this deal. I am, but don't panic about your running back position because like you have D'Andre Swift, Jamaal Williams, who are startable. And
25:11we can say like, "Oh, yeah, but you're going to have to go through the D'Andre Swift bye."
25:17But I mean, you s- >> [sighs] >> Like, you're going to get Singletary,
25:29Kamara usable weeks here with Kendre Miller getting cut. We don't know when Etienne's back.
25:36And we don't know when Scat's back, either.
25:39So, I wouldn't panic about running back.
25:41Continue to work the waiver wire.
25:43Continue to try to find these guys like Devin Singletary. Find these guys like Alvin Kamara.
25:50But yeah, I wouldn't full-blown panic and at running back. So, for the love of God, don't do the Amon-Ra deal. This
25:57one's fine if you really wanted it.
26:00Now J Schrader trading away Swift to upgrade to Hubbard. Again, while we have no Kalen Ballage, they look like they're the same running back, but once Ballage
26:10is back, I think I'd clearly prefer Hubbard. Nico Collins, Flowers I probably do this with Brissett coming in
26:19next week. If the Ravens didn't trade for Jacoby Brissett, then in that case, it would have been very easy. Give me
26:26the D'Andre Swift, Nico Collins side.
26:29But it is close. It's very close.
26:32Now, kaching here at wide receiver, you auto start Chris Olave, and between Rashee Rice and Luther Burden, it's pretty damn close. I'd probably go
26:43Rashee Rice.
26:44But, anybody but DJ Moore. DJ Moore's matchup's too bad for you to consider him there.
26:50Now, Reyes Jason is trading away Bucky Irving for Derrick Henry.
26:57For me, I would prefer Bucky based on what I've seen so far this season. Obviously, we are used to Derrick Henry getting better
27:07as time goes on, and the Ravens offense should still be better with Jacoby Brissett than obviously what
27:21it was last night or two nights ago.
27:24But, at the end of the day, it is still going to be a downgrade losing Lamar for Henry. I would prefer Bucky Irving, but
27:32it's close.
27:33Broncos arrow trading away Pollard and Higgins for Jonathan Taylor and Jordan Mason.
27:40Leftover at wide receiver, you'd have St. Brown, CeeDee Lamb, DeVonta Smith.
27:48And yeah, your depth is Here's my problem with this, man. You have Jeremiah Love on the injured reserve. We have DeVonta Smith also.
27:57But, God knows when he comes back. He's essentially on the injured reserve.
28:04Do we want to be trading two startable players for one?
28:10Like, you can do this, and you could very clearly win if JT gets traded to a decent spot. And I've been checking I've
28:18been looking at this less often now that I've traded away Jonathan Taylor off my team.
28:24I swear, whenever I had JT on my team, I kept pulling up the prediction markets, seeing if any odds swung dramatically like if an
28:36insider or something tipped someone.
28:40Um but right now the favorite team for Jonathan Taylor after the trade deadline is the Indianapolis Colts.
28:50So Colts at like 36%, Giants at 32%, Vikings at 11%, Broncos at 9%. So it's pretty much going to be the Giants or
28:58the Colts.
28:59If Taylor stays on the Colts with how bad this offense is and how bad this team is I don't know, man. It's going That's
29:14going to be a tough argument to be had.
29:17Here from Wes Up for your flex I would play Rachaad White.
29:24My thing that you get with White is just the guaranteed touches with a both Jacquory Croskey Merritt out and
29:32Jermaine McNichols on the IR as well.
29:37Now Nippin Biscuits here running back I think you have to Oh, man. I hate to
29:53say this. I am playing against Alvin Kamara this week so I very much hope that I am wrong.
30:00But I think you have to play Alvin Kamara over Blake Corum now that Kendre Miller's cut. Now I know the
30:11most common pivot that you're going to have with this volume is going to be over from Kendre Miller to Audric Estimé.
30:19So it's not like you're going to get a ton of those Miller touches going to Kamara, but Kamara's probably going to get his
30:27own workload and some of those Miller touches. I don't think Estimé gets all of it.
30:32But yeah, I think you have to play him and then for your flex I would play Blake Corum. Josh Downs is a fine start
30:39considering how good the match up is. I just don't want to trust anything in Indianapolis if we can avoid it.
30:45Now, um Kai Nines says, "I'm the 7-1 Bijan owner needs to win now. I'm really only losing Pickens second flex flex takes a
30:55hit." So, one thing that will be a little bit tough if you're like trading away a bunch of depth for Bijan Robinson
31:02is you may be screwed in the week 11 a bye for Bijan.
31:06Um which is an interesting note. I personally just traded for Bijan Robinson. I'm 5-3. It still very much matters for me to win games in the
31:15regular season though. So, that was something that's going to be tough because my week 11 match up I almost have no chance to win now.
31:27But, if you're 7-1, you don't have to worry about it. Trey Tucker's effectively a zero. You're trading away Swift, Pickens, and LaPorta for Bijan
31:34and Loveland. I'd rather have Loveland over LaPorta, but if you we say Trey Tucker and LaPorta equals Loveland hypothetically. The real meat and
31:42potatoes of this trade will be that you're trading away De'Andre Swift and George Pickens for Bijan Robinson.
31:48And here for a 7-1 roster, man, this is a no-brainer.
31:53If Kyle Manangai was ruled out for the season, then it'd be a little bit tougher. Then we would have a conversation. If George Pickens got
32:00dealt to the Chiefs, then it'd be a little bit tougher. Then we'd have a conversation. But here we don't have to.
32:09Now, Ignorant Technician wide receiver, you play George Pickens, man. Don't overthink it. And then for your flex, I think you're going to play Waddle and
32:18you don't overthink it.
32:21Hope I'm wrong. I hope Antonio Williams ends up being the guy. I have to play against Waddle myself this week, but
32:28I think you go Waddle. Now, Bitter Hornet wide receiver, I'm going to go Jaylen Coker. Coker had a ton of target volume at the beginning
32:37of the year. Obviously, that's scaled back some.
32:40But, he still even in a garbage day saved his
32:48day last week with the touchdown.
32:54Okay.
32:55Now, White Nuggets here for the flex.
33:01I would play I don't know if we consider a Browns receiver here with KC Concepcion and
33:11Dontrelle Boston.
33:14I don't know how we are going to be able to project out this offense with Shaddur in comparison to what you add with
33:25Deshaun Watson.
33:27And also, Harold Fannin is good to go.
33:30So, I probably go Waddle here over the Browns receivers and Raashad White.
33:37Now, Alpha, I guess we're streaming Malik Willis who has a good match up.
33:41Wide receiver Nico Collins is an auto start. And in your flex, I'm going to go Ramondre Stevenson over Luther Burden.
33:49It's just a good spot for Ramondre with pure volume with no Trayvon.
33:55Now, Oh Shorty, trading away Bijan for James Cook and Nico Collins. And these are deep league settings, and we have the AJ Brown Debo
34:05Samuel injuries at receivers, so we could use that extra wide receiver. Yes, I think you do this. These are the same
34:11league settings that I have in my own league.
34:13And I also have Bijan Robinson on my team, and I personally would make this trade. I would send Bijan for James Cook
34:21and Nico Collins if possible.
34:26Now, Aiden here tight ends.
34:31I I Sam Laporta versus Isaiah Likely.
34:34I'm going to go Likely here against Philly. I don't love that it's probably not going to be a shootout. It's probably not going to be a super
34:40high-scoring game environment.
34:44But, likely he's had some weeks where he was just by far and away the best player in fantasy at the tight end position
34:50with his volume.
34:53Now, for the flex, I would go Rashad White. I think you can consider DJ Moore here if you would like.
35:04I think most weeks I'm going to go DJ Moore over Rashad White, but this week specifically DJ Moore just has the worst
35:11matchup you could ever ask for.
35:14Now, Harp for the flex, you played Ah, man. I probably go Devin Singletary assuming Cam Akers ruled out. If Akers ends up surprising and playing, then we
35:25can re-evaluate. Harp, trading away Jaylen Coker for Mike Evans, I can't do this. I have no idea when Evans is coming back. I think the report
35:35that we got with Mike Evans missing here, it scares me a lot more than I initially thought we were going to be
35:40scared.
35:42So, I would go ahead and take Jaylen Coker, but like if Evans comes back next week, Mike
35:55Evans is the guy you would prefer.
35:57I just don't think we get Evans anytime soon.
36:04Now, OG's Louise trading away AJ Brown for Saquon Barkley.
36:09The quote that we got with AJ Brown is he is going to be back sooner rather than later, and they said he can be
36:15back, quote-unquote, as early as the week after the bye.
36:22Which is insane. That means they're essentially already ruling AJ Brown out for this next week.
36:32So, you assume that we don't get Barkley or AJ Brown back and healthy for a couple weeks,
36:41but at least uh Barkley's playing right now.
36:53You know?
36:57At least Barkley's playing now.
36:59Uh Zesty Bolts, here for the flex.
37:07You can't play Breylon. I think you go Coker. Don't love the match-up against Denver.
37:14But I think he's the safest play.
37:17Okay.
37:20Now, let me refresh this.
37:26This one's going to be from Zeke ISO.
37:28Says, "Luckily, we had Jordan Love to replace Lamar after he goes down.
37:33Obviously happy with my receivers, but I feel like my running back depth is pretty weak."
37:37So, we lose Lamar Jackson. I will say, first things first, um the running backs on your waiver wire are very good. I'm
37:46not going to be surprised at all if in your league, you end up seeing an elite, like, league-winning running
37:55back come from the waiver wire.
38:00Mike Washington is the premium handcuff if Gentry were to go down.
38:05Trevion Henderson as a handcuff if he can somehow get right.
38:10And then obviously, we were to see Ramondre go down.
38:14Keaontay Ingram as the premium handcuff to CMC. Emitt Johnson is the premium handcuff to Kenneth Walker.
38:29Man, like, you have upside at the running back position here.
38:38So, I wouldn't be stressing too much about running back depth cuz if you are active with the waiver wire, I think
38:44that there will be some running backs that pop up that are useful.
38:50Quarterback we have love. We have three startable RBs. We have Jaylen Warren, Chase Brown, and Jonah Coleman.
38:58So, and and we have Tyler Allgeier, David Montgomery, and Alvin Kamara as well. And Kamara gets
39:06the bump up with the Kendre Miller news.
39:14So, yeah. I think your running back room is fine. We have the elite wide receiver one with St. Brown.
39:20The elite wide receiver two with Malik Nabers. Matthew Golden wide receiver three is incredible. Our wide receiver depth is strong, too. We have the elite
39:28tight end with George Kittle.
39:33What I would maybe be interested in here is would there be a way that you could up tier at quarterback from like Jordan
39:40Love over to Joe Burrow?
39:43Obviously, I don't think you're going to be able to get to Josh Allen, but if you could go from like Jordan Love and trade
39:48Ladd McConkey with him in somehow get to Joe Burrow, get to Drake May.
39:55I think that would be very interesting, and that could help you leverage additional depth pieces down there at the very bottom end of your team
40:02by picking up some free running backs off waivers.
40:06Like by you going through and picking up somebody like Mike Washington just in case something happens with Jente and then obviously if
40:16it does, Mike Washington could potentially turn into a league winner.
40:25So, that's what I would want to do if there was a trade to be made. I don't think you need to make some like
40:31dramatic swing for a different quarterback. I'm sorry for a different running back. I think all you'd have to do is maybe make a small two-for-one
40:38deal to see if you can upgrade at quarterback over Jordan Love. And then with your open roster spot at that point, see if you can go ahead and
40:46continue to roster running backs at the very bottom end. That way again, if you were to get an injury to like Christian
40:53McCaffrey and you have Kylin Black on your bench, that's how you win this league is by hitting on a free player
41:00like that off waivers.
41:04But, I really appreciate you and I hope that I was able to help you out in some way with this, my friend.
41:11Okay.
41:13Now, our next one's going to be from MLB pitcher, a long time member of the flock. Here running back auto start
41:21Bijan, auto start Judkins, wide receiver auto start Amon-Ra Pickens, Diggs.
41:28Tight end we are going to go Loveland and then in your flex, I probably go Amari Cooper. I know
41:39obviously gave you the goose egg this past week.
41:42But, with no Garrett Wilson, the target volume is going to be a lot safer for Amari Cooper and Adam Thielen Mitchell,
41:48where this is the first week I'd feel very comfortable putting one of them in.
41:55Okay. Now, Rio of trading away Bijan for Bucky and Brock Bowers. 12-team start eight format, we have no tight ends here. Yeah, man, this is a no-brainer.
42:04You got to do this. Like I have Bijan with these same exact league settings and I personally would trade Bijan Robinson for this package in a
42:11heartbeat.
42:13Yeah, I think this makes a lot of sense for your team.
42:16Now, Ryan 87 Mets. Here at wide receiver, God dang, that's tough, man. Running back you're going to go Tyler Allgeier.
42:28It's a tough match up. You're just going to take the guaranteed volume.
42:31Then wide receiver, I really don't know.
42:36It's going to come down to Antonio Williams, where you have no Terry McLaurin. On top of that, like you have no Treylon Burks, you have
42:46no Dyami Brown.
42:53So, Antonio Williams is going to get used a ton.
42:58But, Makai Lemon, you have no Devonta Smith. Makai Lemon, you have no Dontayvion Wicks.
43:04Omar Cooper, you have no Garrett Wilson.
43:10Chat, could y'all please let me know who would y'all rather start? Omar Cooper, Makai Lemon, or Antonio Williams?
43:20Omar Cooper, Makai Lemon, or Antonio Williams? Who are you going with?
43:31Please let me know in the chat.
43:35We got one vote for Omar.
43:38Antonio Antonio Omar.
43:42Antonio Lemon Antonio Antonio Omar Omar.
43:48Omar.
43:53I don't know, man.
43:57I think it I think it's very much going to be up to you.
44:01I think all three are players that have nice ceilings, but very low floors.
44:09Zeller's here for the flex.
44:11Ah damn.
44:15Between Gentry, Nico Collins, I probably go Gentry just given the floor you've had this season. Even in a game where you only had two carries last week and
44:24no touchdown, he still scored 10 fantasy points. Ashton Gentry has yet to score fewer than 10 fantasy points this season.
44:32And in comparison to Nico Collins, like Nico against the Chargers may be a spot where the Houston doesn't really have to
44:38throw the ball much.
44:41And now, 13, Finch Mike here on our bench currently, our best name would possibly be Jordan Tyson. And yeah, I have Tyson on my own team and there's no
44:53way you start him over like Eggbuka or Denzel Boston. So, hopefully next week we can tell you to throw Jordan Tyson in
45:00that lineup. Hopefully it looks really good tomorrow.
45:03Obviously, I'm excited. I'm rocking the Jordan Tyson jersey. I am dying to see this man on the field, but no way you
45:11could trust him in your lineup there.
45:13Scrub here for wide receiver, you're choosing between Omar Cooper and Denzel Boston. I probably go Omar Cooper now that you
45:23have Harold Landry and good to go.
45:25Should Erv Sanders starting, I don't exactly know what to expect for Boston.
45:32K T is C's for the flex between Omar Cooper and Malik Washington. It is very tough because you do have a very strong match
45:43up for Malik Washington. The guaranteed targets, I'm maybe going to surprise here. I'm going to go Washington. The Dolphins offense typically projects out
45:53to be a bottom-three offense every week.
45:55But because of how bad the Detroit Lions defense is, like you actually have the Dolphins projected out to be like an average
46:04middle-of-the-road offense.
46:06So, I think it should be better than usual.
46:10Now, Batmac always have to see this can't decide between Blake Corum and Eggbuka.
46:16Looks like you need Blake Corum at running back and Eggbuka in the flex. If you were choosing between Blake Corum and Eggbuka, maybe I'm a little bit
46:23biased because I personally am starting Eggbuka on my own fantasy team, but I'm going to Actually, no. I If you don't
46:33have the Godwin pivot, you have to play Blake Corum.
46:37Cuz technically Eggbuka has not been cleared yet.
46:42So, if you don't have a potential pivot back up plan, you just got to play it safe with Corum.
46:50Now, Derek here between Mike Harley Lemon and Addison, I'm going to go with Mike Harley Lemon. I I Addison has a
46:55great match up, and maybe Carson Wentz can uh make Addison relevant yet again, but I'm sorry for the first time this
47:03year. But I mean Addison wasn't even startable when Jefferson was injured.
47:08And then here for the flex, I think we're going to go ahead and play Rashad White just get the guaranteed touches.
47:15You snooze, you lose. Here we're trading Burrow for Caleb. Ladder will move up to you. JSN and Bijan downgrade, but you're
47:22picking up Drake London.
47:24Uh we don't necessarily need a running back, but we could use an extra starter here, so I think that this is a
47:29completely fine deal and honestly it probably makes sense given the context that Brian Robinson hits the IR, so I do think you get a
47:39Bijan bump.
47:40And on top of this as well, the Darnold injury's not going to be good for JSN. I think he can overcome
47:47it. He's still an S-tier wide receiver for me this week, but like you're essentially trading away JSN in for Bijan and Drake London.
47:57Which in a 12-team format, I think that makes sense.
48:04Now that Morris kid always happen to see us says, "Didn't want to sell Bijan, but I'm four and four and flex spots were
48:10rough. Hopefully Tyson hits. What are your thoughts?"
48:13So Tyson versus Denzel Boston Micale Lemon, these are such small pieces in the deal. I am very much hoping that Jordan Tyson hits. I am rooting on this
48:23guy so much, but I definitely can't trust him this week. It's going to take a little bit of time for him to get
48:27ramped.
48:30I think we can remove those players. I think those are guys are mainly fluff in this deal. The meat and potatoes and
48:36what's going to decide whether you won or lost is this trade here.
48:42We are >> [sighs] >> trading away Bijan for Jonathan Taylor and Christian Watson.
48:53I think in your league settings, I would prefer JT and Watson. Like obviously, I just made a very similar trade with my
49:01own team on the reverse, right? I had Jonathan Taylor, Christian Watson, and I decided to trade for Bijan Robinson.
49:13The initial pitch that I was given, the initial offer that was sent my way, was this, was that I would pay
49:21Jonathan Taylor and Christian Watson for Bijan Robinson.
49:28I said, "No, there's no way I was doing that." I said, "Jonathan Taylor and Christian Watson's way more interesting to me."
49:34And my deal ended up being I traded away Jameson Williams instead of Christian Watson.
49:39Um but I I think this is enough
49:58to make the swing.
50:01If JT stays with the Colts, I think there's a chance that you lost this.
50:07But, if you needed the flex, and Jonathan Taylor does end up getting traded, say Jonathan Taylor ends up going over to like
50:16the New York Giants even, where it's just a competent offense, it probably makes sense for you to make this move.
50:28And let's check out the team now, my friend.
50:33Okay.
50:34Let me move this over this way.
50:37So, we just saw the trade, and you were saying the flex spots were rough.
50:45Thoughts on the updated team now? Any other moves you'd recommend at this point?
50:50And see what happens with ETN Tyson first. Okay, so the big saving grace with this team is the Trevion Hitters and stuff. With
50:59Trevion being out, it just giving an extra five to eight touches a game to Rhamondre Stevenson and making Rhamondre
51:09a legitimate RB2 that you are excited to start.
51:14Right?
51:15Quarterback, we are set up in a really good spot. We arguably have the MVP of the NFL here with Brock Purdy.
51:21Quarterback looks really good.
51:23Running back, JT RB1, very high ceiling, very low floor. We are just going to have to wait to see what happens.
51:32Rhamondre Stevenson, running back two, for the time being, looks very, very good. And I wouldn't necessarily expect
51:42that Trevion makes like hell, Rhamondre looks like a good running back two rest of season. You have Travis Etienne potentially as the depth piece that
51:51I would hope is back next week, but I honestly thought he was going to be back this week and we got like no updates,
51:57nothing said at all out of New Orleans about them.
52:02Um Wide receiver, we have Justin Jefferson, Christian Watson,
52:14George Pickens, Jordan Addison, Lad McConkey.
52:18Yeah, so you have the depth. We have Dallas Goedert at tight end. At this point, I wouldn't stress. I wouldn't do
52:25anything other than wait to see what happens with Tyson and
52:41Etienne and Jonathan Taylor.
52:44You just have too many moving pieces with your team where it's impossible to know where it's going.
52:51The most likely outcome for Jordan Addison is he sees nothing.
52:55I really hope that doesn't happen. I hope he I I I hope he hits, but we could be looking at a very different
53:08team if Jordan Tyson goes out there tomorrow, he pulls a hamstring, he turns out to be legit zero.
53:17We get an update next week that Travis Etienne's not going to be back for a couple more weeks.
53:22And Jonathan Taylor is stays on the Colts where he sucks.
53:27Versus there's a world in which tomorrow like Jordan Tyson pops off for 100 receiving yards and then on Wednesday
53:38Travis Etienne's back at practice and Etienne's in line to be the Saints starting running back and Jonathan Taylor gets traded to the New York
53:44Giants.
53:46So I don't want you to do anything at this
53:57point to be honest.
54:03There really aren't many interesting waiver wire pivots either.
54:09I would just sit on your hands. I like the trade that you made, but now you have to sweat the Jonathan Taylor
54:15experience.
54:16You're going to have to sweat Jonathan Taylor, Travis Etienne, Jordan Tyson, see how this plays out. I mean just over the next week we are going to
54:24get a lot more information. Let me send you over a couple free questions just in case.
54:30Again, I mean this is just going to this team's going to look so different. We're going to get so much clarity
54:354 days from now.
54:37Like by next Wednesday.
54:39This is a very similar boat that I'm in with my own team. Like let me pull up my own team here.
54:46But I traded away JT of course.
54:49So like that helps me a bit, but like if I look at my bench, I am
55:02rostering a bunch of guys that I'm just hoping that I get clarity over the next 5 days.
55:08Maybe I cut him, maybe they turn into something right?
55:12Like Jordan Tyson, hopefully he stays healthy tomorrow, hopefully he flashes some talent. Seth McGowan, hopefully Jonathan Taylor gets traded and he turns into a starting running
55:23back.
55:24Brian Robinson, I am cutting. I had picked him up before he went on the IR.
55:29Chris Godwin, I have just in case Ekeler misses and I need to make a swap.
55:33Brandon Aiyuk, we'll see what happens over the next 4 days.
55:36Travis Etienne, we'll see what happens this next week. So, at this point with my team, I'm kind of sitting here just
55:41saying, "Hey, I got to wait and see how this plays out."
55:46I think you're in a similar spot. I think you have a lot of players that could swing one way or another.
55:54Now, here from De'Jon Love says, "Hey Mason, currently 6 and 2. I feel like I've been getting lucky with the matchups. I had a
56:03very rookie-heavy draft. We lack a solid wide receiver two/three. Also, I'm not very excited with my running backs.
56:11Feel like their ceiling has dropped as weeks go by."
56:15Okay, let me see, man. I really appreciate you.
56:196 and 2, you've scored the third most points in this league.
56:25Now, you've had the second to least amount of points scored against you, but it's not like you're a very lucky 6 and
56:302. You've been putting points on the board man.
56:34Pulling this up. Quarterback, we have Mahomes and Trevor Lawrence. Very strong quarterback pairing where you can go through and play the matchups with them
56:41weekly.
56:43Running back, we are sitting with Antonio Gibson, Cam Akers.
56:55Allie Gordon, RB3. Kyle Shanahan, guy running back four.
57:02So, like maybe we don't have the true elite RB1, but you're at least going to have somebody that you can start every
57:09single week.
57:13Like you're not going to be struggling to fill out running back slots. Ginte isn't who you drafted him to be, but the
57:20man still is had at least 10 fantasy points in every game that he's played.
57:26Wide receiver, we have the elite wide receiver one with JSN.
57:32Garrett Wilson wide receiver two.
57:39Carnell Tate wide receiver three.
57:46And then the upside shot of like Tyson, Makai Lemon.
57:50Man, I think you're doing what you want with this team, right? Typically, if you're sitting here with some injured guys like
57:58Cam Skadabush, some rookies like Carnell Tate, Jordan Addison, Makai Lemon.
58:04A big thing of relevance for you is, "Oh, okay. What's my record?"
58:10Cuz these profiles are maybe profiles that they're not going to give you a ton of production in the short term, but
58:17they give you a lot of long-term upside.
58:21So, if you're a two and six team, if you're a three and five team, those are the opposite of the players that you
58:28want. You should be doing anything that you can to go ahead and try to trade them away.
58:34And get in points right this second for the short term.
58:37But with you being six and two, this is kind of the exact team that you would like.
58:46Of course, if you get an opportunity to potentially go out like I I I don't even know if I want to say
58:52that. I was going to say maybe like package together Ali Gordon and Carnell Tate to go get a more solidified top end
59:00flex, sure do it.
59:02But even then, it's like, "Hey, maybe you need to hold on to that running back depth given the Cam Skadabush injury and
59:09also the fact that JT may be traded to be a New York Giant.
59:16And then also the same thing here is like, do we want to be selling one of these rookie wide receivers that are
59:21going to continue to get better if this is our team composition, we're 6 and 2, and we can afford to think long-term for
59:27the playoffs.
59:31So, man, I think you have a great team.
59:34I think that this is a great spot. I hate to say this. I don't think I do anything here.
59:39I even waiver wire pivots, I think you're using the bottom end of your roster in a really smart way. I I wish I had
59:46something more, but I think you should sit on your hands and be comfortable.
59:51Now, Bitter Hornet is trading away Jaylen Coker and George Kittle for Zay Flowers and Tyler Warren.
60:05You have crafted tight end.
60:09Kittle so far this season averaging about 14.9 fantasy points per game.
60:14Zay Flowers at about 15.9.
60:19I don't know how far off Kittle and Flowers are going to be rest of season.
60:23As long as Kittle stays healthy.
60:26While Brissett is so much better than Josh McCloud, their third-string quarterback, it is still a downgrade losing Lamar and going to Jacoby Brissett for Zay
60:36Flowers.
60:40I would probably prefer the George Kittle end of this.
60:47Maybe that's an aggressive thing to say, but I think I'd prefer the George Kittle end.
61:02Okay.
61:05Now, next question's from Lee Jackson says, "Need an option if we don't get the Singletary waiver claim."
61:14You'd play Iden O'Brien Mitchell. I'd play I Mitchell at this point over Lad McConkey knowing that Um you have no Garrett Wilson, ATN
61:32Mitchell just does get the big bump.
61:36Now Zoggie between Drake May Caleb Williams, I think you have to play Caleb Williams.
61:44Like I hope I'm wrong. I personally have Drake May and I am going up against Caleb Williams this week, but I think I
61:54am on the worst side of that.
61:57And then for the flex, you're playing Jona Kahl Min easily, man.
62:01Actually, no, you have Rhamondre.
62:03Rhamondre Jona Kahl Min will be interesting. I think Kahl Min gives you the higher ceiling. Rhamondre is going to be giving you the higher floor.
62:11Kahl Min great match-up, clear receiving role.
62:20>> [panting] >> That's tough.
62:27Now T Woodward running back Josh Jacobs auto start, wide receiver you play George Pickens, tight end Trey McBride for the flex
62:37you're playing Woody Marks.
62:39And then I personally am starting Dalton Kincaid on my own team this week, but I'm trying to get away from it
62:47because it is a horrible match-up against Minnesota Vikings. Like for your flex spot, man, I would legit play Kahl Min instead of Dalton Kincaid. Even with
62:56it being a garbage offense, even with it being garbage quarterback play, at least Kahl Min is going to get the guaranteed
63:03target volume just with the other guys being out of the offense.
63:07Now Just Ice says, "Even though I'm in first place, injuries have been scaring me at receiver and I don't know how much
63:13longer I can keep it up. Any advice on what I should do to improve or should we just sit on it and be patient?
63:19Appreciate you and your vets. Man, I really appreciate you.
63:22And let's figure this out. Yeah, you are down here at sixth in the league analyzer. So, the league analyzer's not believing in you in terms of the value
63:33on your roster in comparison to Yeah, you're six and two. We have the best record in this league. This league is
63:39incredibly close.
63:41The worst record in the league is three and five, and there are one, two, three, four, five teams that are currently four
63:48and four.
63:50We have scored Yeah, man, you've scored the most points in this league.
63:54I have no idea why the league analyzer doesn't believe in you.
63:58Quarterback, we are currently sitting with Caleb Williams.
64:10And Mahomes, two very, very strong QB options.
64:16Um we can play the matchups between them going into the future, but I will say like I mean, if you had Caleb, you should
64:22just feel com- confident.
64:26Running back, you are sitting with Jahmyr Gibbs as well as Roschon Johnson.
64:34Then our depth pieces are Roschon Johnson and Alvin Kamara. Completely fine running back room.
64:41Wide receiver, we have Luther Burden, DJ Moore, Mike Evans, DeVonta Smith. So, we have both Evans and Smith injured. So, you're starting Luther Burden DJ Moore,
64:50and then in your flex spot here in the short term, you get to play Alvin Kamara. And then tight end, we have
64:55Tucker Kraft. So, here's the deal.
64:59Yes, it sucks for us to have all of these injuries at wide receiver to guys like
65:09Mike Evans and DeVonta Smith.
65:14It sucks that instead you're having to go through and you're having to put somebody like Alvin Kamara into your flex right?
65:23But, who would be in line to trade for one of these injured? Like, we don't want to trade like a quarterback for a wide receiver.
65:33We don't want to trade like a running back for a wide receiver.
65:37Because you can get by with Luther Burden and DJ Moore right now, and who knows? Maybe Evans is back next week.
65:44Maybe DeVonta Smith is back next week.
65:47I doubt it, but maybe.
65:51So, like eventually you will be okay with the wide receiver position here.
66:10I This is a spot where you just got to sit on your hands, and you got to be patient. If Alec Pierce is on your
66:16injured reserve, ignore me, but if Alec Pierce is taking up an actual roster spot, you definitely would need to cut Alec
66:23Pierce and pick up Mike Washington.
66:27Just in case something happens to Gentry, and Washington turns into a league winner. Clearly, Gentry's been dealing with an ankle injury all season.
66:36I would wait for these injured wide receivers to come back. Once they're back, then I think you can explore potentially making a move, but I think
66:44that move that you would make would be something along the lines of "Oh, okay. We are going to go through, and we are going to sell like DJ Moore
66:54and Tucker Kraft for an elite tight end.
66:56We're going to sell DJ Moore and Brevin Jordan for an upgrade at running back."
67:01But, obviously, you can't afford to do something like that until Evans, DeVonta Smith come back.
67:09You're 6 and 2, so you don't need to panic. You don't need to make a trade right now. If anybody should be patient,
67:14if anybody should ride it out with these injuries, it's going to be you.
67:20So, yeah. I would leave this as is, man.
67:23I I wish I had something that was more interesting to say, but no. You have the most points in your league. You
67:31got injured guys. You're in first place.
67:33You can afford to just wait for them to come back.
67:37Okay.
67:39Now, Golden Gator here running back.
67:44We're going to go Zonovan and and a flex spot Josh Jacobs and then in the other flex between Jameson Williams and Ali Gordon,
67:53it's honestly going to be tough. I think Ali Gordon gives you the floor. Jameson Williams gives you the ceiling.
68:01It's going to be one of the very few spots where you could ever consider this, but I like the match up for Gordon
68:07more than I like the match up for Jamaal.
68:16Now, our next question from Link.
68:22Here running back, you play Rashoo, no, you play Devin Singletary. I play Singletary over Rashad White.
68:30Cuz Singletary's in an offense where he is favored.
68:34They should be able to run the ball in the second half. Not only do you have no Scat, but also Tracy's on the IR as
68:40well.
68:44Okay. Now, AC97.
68:48Says three and five getting unlucky losing close match ups. Been trying to trade combos like Olave and Moore to get a wide receiver upgrade. Nobody wants to
68:57trade away a running back. Any other ideas or waiver wire moves or leave as is and trust that better days are ahead.
69:05So, we have scored the fourth most points in this league, so we are very unlucky to be three and five.
69:12You've had one more points scored against you than you've scored. That's brutal man.
69:18Okay. So, first things first.
69:24You clearly have to make a trade.
69:28Very, very clearly.
69:31Your wide receiver room is consisting of Ja'Marr Chase, Malik Nabers, Chris Olave.
69:40Three stud wide receivers that you can start every single week regardless of matchup.
69:47And then you still have DJ Moore wide receiver four and the upside shot of Jordan Addison wide receiver five.
69:56Like you have to make a trade here.
70:00I don't think you could justify holding on to these receivers.
70:04Now it comes down to what are you trading for?
70:07Cuz quarterback, we have Brock Purdy.
70:09We're chilling with Brock Purdy.
70:12Running back, we have Bayshell Tuten and no solid running back two. We have shots like you're going to start Devin Singletary this week.
70:20Which obviously it's nice to just be able to turn the waiver wire, find startable players one week at a time so
70:26you can start Singletary this week.
70:30And then we can uh re-evaluate. Maybe next week Cam Akers misses again.
70:39And that leads you to starting Singletary running back two for multiple
70:50weeks and just staying alive. But long term you do have the up the upside of like Tyjae Spears, right? Which hopefully Tyjae Spears hits.
71:01I would say in general like if we could trade for something, I'd probably want to go ahead and trade for a running back
71:06here but if you're telling me that your leaguemates aren't willing to trade away a running back, then I mean I would still try to sell
71:18like DJ Moore and Kyle Pitts and see if there's any tight end upgrade that we can get.
71:26Or you could also instead of trading DJ Moore, you could try to send like Chris Olave and Kyle Pitts for Brock Bowers.
71:33This team needs wide receiver help and they have Dalton Kincaid as well.
71:38So you could try going like Olave or like try going Malik Nabers and Kyle Pitts for Brock Bowers.
71:44Right, if you have this much wide receiver production.
71:48This team is uh we're not going to trade for those guys.
71:52Um this team has Colson Loveland. I would offer them DJ Moore and Kyle Pitts for Colson Loveland.
72:00This team has Trey McBride. You can offer him Chris Olave, Kyle Pitts for Trey McBride.
72:06And then I would just try to keep it simple, too, when it comes to running back trades.
72:11Like if people aren't willing to like entertain the idea of you sending them DJ Moore and Kendre Miller in a two-for-one deal to get a better running
72:19back, a team like yours, you could afford to just straight up send Malik Nabers and see if you can get back James Cook.
72:27Right? See if you can do something very simple where you're just straight up trading a top-end wide receiver for a
72:39top-end running back and not overthinking it.
72:48But >> [panting] >> Yeah, I don't think I have anything else
73:02for you here, man.
73:03I think you have a very good team.
73:06And you've gotten very unlucky to be three and five.
73:11Now, Bo uh trading away Luther Burden to Rashee Rice, lateral move up to you. Chase Brown and Ramondre for Chubba Hubbard. I this is going to
73:21be a hot take. You can afford to do this deal cuz you have the running back depth. I think value-wise, I prefer
73:27Chase Brown and Ramondre Stevenson rest of season.
73:32Like what we have with the Rhamondre bump with Traveon looking like he is a zero.
73:41Rhamondre Stevenson's just going to get safe guaranteed volume in this offense for a very long time.
73:51So yeah, I would probably and then also Chase Brown's like getting the best workload in the NFL among running backs and top offenses.
74:07It is tough here, my friend, but I think you can afford to do it because your team is so strong.
74:13However, I don't think value-wise it's the best thing ever for you.
74:18Now, um it is not super late. I may actually be able to tell Mrs. Flock we can watch something. I'm going to be
74:27streaming super early in the morning answering all your questions in the YouTube live chat since we've been able to catch up with all the questions on
74:34the site. Um we'll be live probably at around 7:00 in the morning tomorrow.
74:41Actually, I don't know. We'll probably be live around 8:00 in the morning Central tomorrow.
74:45So like 6:00 a.m. on the West Coast and we'll be live like 4 hours before the noon kickoff.
74:52Um I am going to be super excited because I am sweating the Bijan Robinson.
75:00Let me see. Does my opponent have anybody else in this game?
75:04So I am going to be watching the Madrid game, the Bengals and Falcons because I have Bijan Robinson in
75:16it and I am very much hoping that Bijan goes crazy.
75:23And let me see if my opponent has anybody in there. No, they do not. It looks like my opponent has everybody in 1:00 p.m. games and then
75:33the Sunday night sweat.
75:36And then, but I have get players in every primetime game.
75:41Now, let me pull up what are the updated odds with the markets for tomorrow morning's game?
75:49Cuz I What I selfishly want as somebody who has Bijan is I want the Falcons to win this game. So, they remain
75:57competitive for the division until the very end of the season, right? Like I want the Falcons to try to win the
76:03division if I'm a Bijan fan. Falcons have a 39% chance of winning this game on the Polymarket app. Spread's 3 and
76:101/2.
76:12Um it's actually if you try to get it closer to 50/50 odds. Spread's very close to like three points. Over/under is 52 and 1/2, so there should be a ton
76:19of points scored.
76:21But, obviously if you want to check out any of these markets, you can find the link to the Polymarket app in the
76:26description, comment section, live chat.
76:28If you sign up with promo code Flock, you'll get $25 added to your account after you deposit your first 10, available in every state outside of
76:38Nevada.
76:40But, yeah. I am very much rooting for the Falcons in this one. Obviously, I am rooting for Bijan Robinson.
76:46Hopefully, it's a big game. Brian Robinson to the IR, so he is going to get almost all of his backfield to
76:52himself for a very long time here.
76:54But, much love. Appreciate you.
76:58And I hope that I get to see you out in that live stream tomorrow morning.
